Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel and a display device capable of reducing the reflection of external light. The display panel includes a touch sensor, disposed on an encapsulation unit, and an antireflective film disposed in a non-emission area of the touch sensor so as to overlap each other, whereby it is possible to reduce external light from being incident on the touch sensor and a routing line, and therefore it is possible to reduce the reflectance of external light without using an expensive polarizing plate.

Claims (25)

1. A display device comprising:

a light-emitting element on a substrate;

an encapsulation unit on the light-emitting element, the encapsulation unit including at least one inorganic encapsulation layer and at least one organic encapsulation layer;

a touch sensor on the encapsulation unit; and

a black layer on the touch sensor, the black layer located in a non-emission area that excludes an emission area in which the light-emitting element is disposed.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the black layer overlaps the touch sensor.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the black layer includes at least one of black nanoparticles, a binder, or a sensitive emulsion.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the touch sensor comprises:

first touch electrodes arranged in a first direction, the first touch electrodes connected to each other via a first bridge; and

second touch electrodes arranged in a second direction that is different from the first direction, the second touch electrodes connected to each other via a second bridge,

wherein the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes are in a mesh shape.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes includes a mesh film or includes a transparent conductive film and a mesh metal film disposed above or under the transparent conductive film.

6. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the black layer is in a mesh shape.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the mesh-shaped black layer has opening areas, and the opening areas overlap the emission area.

8. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the mesh-shaped first touch electrodes and the mesh shaped second touch electrodes have opening areas, respectively, and

wherein the opening areas of the first touch electrodes and the opening areas of the second touch electrodes overlap the emission area.

9. The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a bank in the non-emission area, the bank exposing an anode electrode of the light-emitting element,

wherein the black layer overlaps the bank.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the first bridge and the second bridge overlap the bank.

11. The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a touch passivation film between the touch sensor and the black layer.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the touch passivation film comprises an inorganic material.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the inorganic material includes a silicon oxide layer or a silicon nitride layer.

14. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the touch passivation film comprises an organic material.
