Abstract

A display device has excellent luminous efficiency, the display device including: a display portion including pixels defined by a pixel defining layer; and a touch portion on the display portion. The touch portion includes: a first touch electrode overlapping the pixel defining layer; a first organic layer on the first touch electrode; a second touch electrode contacting the first touch electrode; a second organic layer on the second touch electrode; and a high refractive index layer on the first organic layer, the second touch electrode, and the second organic layer. The high refractive index layer is disposed between adjacent second touch electrodes in a plan view and includes a first convex surface protruding toward the display portion and overlapping one of the pixels.

Claims (55)

1. A display device comprising:

a display portion comprising pixels defined by a pixel defining layer; and

a touch portion on the display portion,

wherein the touch portion comprises:

a first touch electrode overlapping the pixel defining layer;

a first organic layer on the first touch electrode;

a second touch electrode contacting the first touch electrode;

a second organic layer on the second touch electrode; and

a high refractive index layer on the first organic layer, the second touch electrode, and the second organic layer, and

wherein the high refractive index layer is disposed between adjacent second touch electrodes in a plan view and comprises a first convex surface protruding toward the display portion and overlapping one of the pixels.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first organic layer has a refractive index substantially equal to a refractive index of the second organic layer, and

wherein the high refractive index layer has a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the first organic layer.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first convex surface contacts at least one of the first organic layer and the second organic layer.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch portion further comprises a third organic layer disposed on the high refractive index layer and having a refractive index substantially equal to a refractive index of the first organic layer and the second organic layer.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the high refractive index layer is disposed between the second touch electrodes in a plan view and comprises a second convex surface protruding toward the third organic layer.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second convex surface contacts the third organic layer.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second convex surface overlaps the first convex surface in a plan view.

8. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the touch portion further comprises a substrate and an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being disposed between the substrate and the third organic layer.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display portion comprises:

a first pixel electrode;

a light emitting layer on the first pixel electrode; and

a second pixel electrode on the light emitting layer.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the high refractive index layer is a color filter having a color substantially the same as a color of a light emitted from the light emitting layer.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the high refractive index layer is a color filter having one color of red, green, and blue.

12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first convex surface of the high refractive index layer overlaps the light emitting layer.

13. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode overlap the pixel defining layer.

14. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the touch portion further comprises a light blocking portion on the second organic layer, the light blocking portion overlapping the pixel defining layer.

15. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the display portion further comprises a thin film encapsulation layer on the second pixel electrode and the pixel defining layer.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the display portion further comprises an inorganic layer between the touch portion and the thin film encapsulation layer.

17. A display device comprising:

a display portion comprising a pixel area defined by a plurality of pixel defining layers; and

a touch portion on the display portion,

wherein the touch portion comprises:

a first touch electrode overlapping the pixel defining layer;

a first organic layer on the first touch electrode;

a second touch electrode on the first organic layer;

a second organic layer on the second touch electrode;

a high refractive index layer on the first organic layer, the second touch electrode, and the second organic layer; and

a third organic layer disposed on the high refractive index layer and having a refractive index substantially equal to a refractive index of the first organic layer and the second organic layer,

wherein the high refractive index layer is disposed between adjacent second touch electrodes in a plan view and comprises a first convex surface protruding toward the third organic layer and overlapping the pixel area, and

wherein the high refractive index layer has a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the first, second, and third organic layers.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the first convex surface contacts the third organic layer.

19. A display device comprising:

a display portion comprising a pixel area defined by a plurality of pixel defining layers; and

a touch portion on the display portion,

wherein the touch portion comprises:

a first touch electrode overlapping the pixel defining layer;

a first organic layer on the first touch electrode;

a second touch electrode on the first organic layer;

a second organic layer on the second touch electrode;

a high refractive index layer on the first organic layer, the second touch electrode, and the second organic layer; and

a third organic layer on the high refractive index layer,

wherein the high refractive index layer is disposed between adjacent second touch electrodes in a plan view and comprises a first concave surface having a lens shape and overlapping the pixel area, and

wherein the high refractive index layer has a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the first, second, and third organic layers.

20. The display device of claim 19 , wherein the first concave surface contacts the third organic layer.
