Abstract

A display apparatus including an OLED (organic light-emitting device) substrate having a structure in which at least one blue light-emitting unit and at least one green light-emitting unit are stacked, wherein the OLED substrate generates a mixed light of a blue light and a green light; and a color controller provided on the OLED substrate to adjust color of a light generated from the OLED substrate. The color controller includes a first color control element having a plurality of first quantum dots for green conversion; a second color control element having plurality of second quantum dots for red conversion; a third color control element for presenting a blue color; a first color filter provided on the first color control element; and a second color filter provided on the second color control element.

Claims (57)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

an OLED (organic light-emitting device) substrate comprising a structure in which at least one blue light-emitting unit and at least one green light-emitting unit are stacked, wherein the OLED substrate generates a mixed light of a blue light and a green light; and

a third color control element for presenting a blue color;

a first color filter provided on the first color control element; and

a second color filter provided on the second color control element.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the OLED substrate has a tandem structure.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the OLED substrate comprises a first blue light-emitting unit, a green light-emitting unit, and a second blue light-emitting unit which are sequentially stacked, and

the green light-emitting unit is arranged between the first and second blue light-emitting units.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising:

a first charge generation layer provided between the first blue light-emitting unit and the green light-emitting unit; and

a second charge generation layer provided between the green light-emitting unit and the second blue light-emitting unit.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the green light-emitting unit comprises a green emission layer comprising an organic material, and

the green emission layer comprises a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) dopant.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the green light-emitting unit comprises a green emission layer comprising an organic material,
