Abstract

Provided is a display device including a display panel having a plurality of pixel regions, a first insulating layer on the display panel, having a first refractive index, and having a plurality of first openings defined in regions which overlap the plurality of pixel regions, a second insulating layer directly on the first insulating layer and having a plurality of second openings defined in regions which correspond to the plurality of first openings, and a third insulating layer covering the display panel, the first insulating layer, and the second insulating layer and having a second refractive index higher than the first refractive index, wherein the third insulating layer may overlap the plurality of pixel regions on a plane.

Claims (35)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel comprising a pixel region;

an insulating layer on the display panel, the insulating layer comprising an opening overlapping the pixel region and an auxiliary opening spaced from the opening and surrounding the opening; and

a cover insulating layer covering the display panel and the insulating layer, and overlapping the pixel region on a plane,

wherein both the opening and the auxiliary opening are provided recessed from a top surface of the insulating layer, and

wherein the opening and the auxiliary opening do not overlap each other on a plane.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein portions of the cover insulating layer are filled in the opening and the auxiliary opening.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover insulating layer comprises a flat upper surface.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary opening does not overlap the pixel region.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover insulating layer comprises an organic material.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer comprises:

a first insulating layer on the display panel; and

a second insulating layer directly on the first insulating layer, and

wherein the opening and the auxiliary opening are defined in both the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first insulating layer has a first refractive index, and the cover insulating layer has a second refractive index that is higher than the first refractive index.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the first refractive index is about 1.45 to about 1.55, and the second refractive index is about 1.60 to about 1.70.

9. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first insulating layer comprises an organic material, and the second insulating layer comprises an inorganic material.

10. The display device of claim 6 , wherein a thickness of the first insulating layer is greater than a thickness of the second insulating layer.

11. A display device comprising:

a display panel comprising a pixel region;

an insulating layer on the display panel, the insulating layer comprising an opening overlapping the pixel region and an auxiliary opening spaced from the opening and adjacent to the opening; and

a cover insulating layer covering the display panel, and the insulating layer, and overlapping the pixel region on a plane,

wherein the auxiliary opening has a ring shape by two spaced apart side walls of the insulating layer.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein a width of the auxiliary opening is smaller than a width of the opening.

13. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the auxiliary opening surrounds the opening on a plane.

14. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the opening and the auxiliary opening do not overlap each other on a plane.

15. The display device of claim 11 , wherein a depth of the opening is substantially the same as a depth of the auxiliary opening.

16. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the cover insulating layer comprises an organic material and a flat upper surface.

17. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the insulating layer comprises:

a first insulating layer on the display panel; and

a second insulating layer directly on the first insulating layer, and

wherein the opening and the auxiliary opening are defined in both the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the first insulating layer has a first refractive index, and the cover insulating layer has a second refractive index that is higher than the first refractive index.

19. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the first insulating layer comprises an organic material, and the second insulating layer comprises an inorganic material.

20. The display device of claim 17 , wherein a thickness of the first insulating layer is greater than a thickness of the second insulating layer.
