Abstract

A display device includes first and second light emitting regions; first and second pixel electrodes in the first and second light emitting regions, respectively; a first organic layer in the first light emitting region, including first and second light emitting layers; a second organic layer in the second light emitting region, including a third light emitting layer; a common electrode on the first and second organic layers; a wavelength conversion pattern on the common electrode, overlapping the first organic layer, and wavelength-converting light of a first color into light of a second color, different from the first color; and a light transmitting pattern on the common electrode, overlapping the second organic layer. The third light emitting layer and one of the first and second light emitting layers emit light of the first color, and another one of the first and second light emitting layers emits light of the second color.

Claims (48)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate including a first light emitting region;

a first electrode disposed on the substrate, the first electrode overlapping the first light emitting region;

a layer on the first electrode, the layer including a first light emitting layer, a second light emitting layer overlapping the first light emitting layer, and a third light emitting layer overlapping the first light emitting layer and the second light emitting layer;

a second electrode on the layer;

a wavelength conversion pattern on the second electrode, overlapping the first light emitting region and wavelength-converting blue light into green light;

a first color filter on the wavelength conversion pattern; and

an inorganic layer disposed between the wavelength conversion pattern and the first color filter, wherein

any one of the first light emitting layer, the second light emitting layer, and the third light emitting layer emits green light,

other two of the first light emitting layer, the second light emitting layer, and the third light emitting layer emit blue light, and

the wavelength conversion pattern comprises quantum dots and scatterers.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first refractive layer disposed between the wavelength conversion pattern and the first color filter, wherein

the first refractive layer overlaps the inorganic layer.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first refractive layer has a lower refractive index than the wavelength conversion pattern.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein a difference between the refractive index of the wavelength conversion pattern and the refractive index of the first refractive layer is 0.3 or more.

5. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a second refractive layer between the wavelength conversion pattern and the second electrode, the second refractive layer having a lower refractive index than the wavelength conversion pattern.

6. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first refractive layer directly contacts the inorganic layer.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the layer on the first electrode further includes a fourth light emitting layer overlapping the first light emitting layer, the second light emitting layer and the third light emitting layer, and

the fourth light emitting layer emits the blue light.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate further includes a second light emitting region, and

the display device further comprises a light transmitting pattern on the second electrode and overlapping the second light emitting region.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first color filter overlaps the layer, transmits the green light and blocks the blue light.

10. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a second color filter on the light transmitting pattern, transmitting the blue light, and blocking the green light and red light.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the inorganic layer is between the light transmitting pattern and the second color filter.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein

a portion of the first color filter and a portion of the second color filter are disposed in a non-light emitting region, and

the non-light emitting region is disposed between the first light emitting region and the second light emitting region.

13. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the light transmitting pattern includes:

a base resin; and

scatterers dispersed in the base resin.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the light transmitting pattern further includes a colorant which is configured to transmit the blue light and block the green light and red light.

15. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising:

a partition wall between the wavelength conversion pattern and the light transmitting pattern, wherein

a side surface of the partition wall contacts the wavelength conversion pattern.

16. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a filler disposed on the second electrode and overlapping the wavelength conversion pattern.

17. The display device of claim 16 , further comprising:

an insulation layer on the second electrode, wherein

the filler is disposed between the insulation layer and the wavelength conversion pattern.

18. The display device of claim 16 , further comprising:

an insulation layer on the second electrode, wherein

the wavelength conversion pattern is disposed between the filler and the insulation layer.

19. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the layer does not include a light emitting layer for emitting red light.
