Abstract

A display device includes a display panel and a light source for outputting a first color light to the display panel. The display panel includes a first display substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first display substrate and the second substrate. The second display substrate includes a base substrate, a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters spaced apart from each other on the base substrate, a color conversion layer including a plurality of dams, and a plurality of conversion parts overlapping the color filters, disposed on the base substrate, and disposed between the plurality of dams, a reflection layer disposed on the dams, and a hydrophobic area disposed on the reflection layer, overlapping an upper surface of the dams, and non-overlapping a side surface of the dams.

Claims (33)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel; and

a light source configured to output a first color light to the display panel,

wherein the display panel comprises:

a first display substrate;

a second display substrate facing the first display substrate;

and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first display substrate and the second display substrate,

wherein the second display substrate comprises:

a base substrate;

a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters spaced apart from each other on the base substrate;

a color conversion layer including a plurality of dams, and a plurality of conversion parts overlapping the color filters, disposed on the base substrate, and disposed between the plurality of dams;

a reflection layer disposed on the dams; and

a hydrophobic area disposed on the reflection layer, overlapping upper surfaces of the dams, and non-overlapping side surfaces of the dams.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic area comprises a polyvinylidene fluoride derivative in which a phosphonate is bonded as a terminal group.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the reflection layer overlaps the upper surfaces of the dams and non-overlaps the side surfaces of the dams.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the reflection layer is in contact with the upper surface of the dams.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the reflection layer comprises a metal or a metal oxide.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic area is in contact with an upper surface of the reflection layer.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the reflection layer has substantially the same area as the upper surface of the dams.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic area has substantially the same area as an upper surface of the reflection layer.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the conversion parts are in contact with the side surfaces of the dams.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the color conversion layer comprises:

a first conversion part including a first light emitter configured to absorb the first color light and emit a second color light;

a second conversion part including a second light emitter configured to absorb the first color light and emit a third color light; and

a third conversion part through which the first color light is transmitted.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the first light emitter and the second light emitter each comprises quantum dots.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the color filter layer comprises:

a first color filter which absorbs or reflects the first color light, and through which the second color light is transmitted; and

a second color filter which absorbs or reflects the first color light, and through which the third color light is transmitted.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first color filter covers the first conversion part, and the second color filter covers the second conversion part.

14. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a black matrix disposed on the base substrate, wherein the black matrix is covered by the dams.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein in a thickness direction of the display panel, the first display substrate is disposed closer to the light source than the second display substrate.

16. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first color light is blue light.
