Abstract

An electroluminescent display device includes a first substrate including an emissive area; an overcoat layer disposed over the first substrate and including a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of depressed portions in the emissive area; a first electrode disposed over the overcoat layer and including an electrode portion which corresponds to each of the plurality of protruding portions and an opening which corresponds to each of the plurality of depressed portions; a light-emitting layer disposed over the electrode portion; a second electrode disposed over the light-emitting layer; and a reflective pattern disposed over each of the plurality of depressed portions.

Claims (27)

1. An electroluminescent display device, comprising:

a first substrate including an emissive area;

an overcoat layer disposed over the first substrate and including a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of depressed portions in the emissive area;

a first electrode disposed over the overcoat layer and including an electrode portion which corresponds to each of the plurality of protruding portions and an opening which corresponds to each of the plurality of depressed portions;

a light-emitting layer disposed over the electrode portion;

a second electrode disposed over the light-emitting layer; and

a reflective pattern disposed over each of the plurality of depressed portions.

2. The electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , further including an insulating pattern, wherein each of the plurality of protruding portions has a flat top surface, and the insulating pattern is disposed between the flat top surface and the electrode portion.

3. The electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein the reflective pattern is formed lower than the flat top surface of each of the plurality of protruding portions.

4. The electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein a refractive index of the insulating pattern is larger than a refractive index of the overcoat layer.

5. The electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a bottom color filter pattern disposed between the first substrate and the overcoat layer; and

a top color filter pattern disposed between the second substrate and the second electrode.

6. The electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , further comprising a color filter pattern, wherein each of the plurality of protruding portions has a flat top surface and the color filter pattern is disposed between the flat top surface and the electrode portion.

7. The electroluminescent display device of claim 6 , wherein a refractive index of the color filter pattern is larger than a refractive index of the overcoat layer.

8. The electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein a top surface of each of the electrode portion, the light-emitting layer, and the second electrode is flat.

9. The electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective pattern is formed of a same material as the second electrode.

10. The electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of depressed portions has a shape in which a width progressively narrows toward the first substrate.

11. A display device, comprising:

a first substrate including an emissive area;

an overcoat layer disposed over the first substrate, the overcoat layer including a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of depressed portions in the emissive area to form a plurality of micro lens, the protruding portions protruding against the first substrate;

a first electrode disposed over each of the plurality of protruding portions;

a light-emitting layer disposed over the first electrode;

a second electrode disposed over the light-emitting layer; and

reflective patterns disposed over the plurality of depressed portions of the micro lens, respectively.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the reflective patterns are disposed along the shape of the plurality of depressed portions in which a width progressively narrows toward the first substrate.
