Abstract

A display device that is capable of being manufactured through a simplified process and at reduced cost is disclosed. The display device is configured such that a plurality of grouped cathode electrodes and a plurality of grouped black matrices intersect each other in the state in which an encapsulation unit is disposed therebetween in order to form a touch sensor, so that a process of forming first and second touch electrodes is omitted and a separate adhesion process becomes unnecessary, whereby structural simplification is achieved while costs are reduced.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a light-emitting element disposed on a substrate, the light-emitting element comprising a plurality of grouped cathode electrodes;

an encapsulation unit disposed on the light-emitting element;

a plurality of grouped black matrices disposed on the encapsulation unit, the plurality of grouped black matrices intersecting the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes;

first touch-routing lines connected to the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes; and

second touch-routing lines connected to the plurality of grouped black matrices.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one dielectric film disposed below the encapsulation unit,

wherein the first touch-routing lines are disposed on the dielectric film, and the second touch-routing lines are disposed along a side surface of the encapsulation unit.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes are separated from each other, and the plurality of grouped black matrices are separated from each other.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of grouped black matrices is formed in a mesh shape, and each of the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes is formed in a bar shape.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of grouped black matrices are spaced apart from each other in a state in which a zigzag space or a linear space is provided therebetween.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter disposed on the encapsulation unit.

7. A display device comprising:

a light-emitting element disposed on a substrate, the light-emitting element comprising a plurality of grouped cathode electrodes;

an encapsulation unit disposed on the light-emitting element;

a plurality of grouped black matrices disposed on the encapsulation unit, the plurality of grouped black matrices intersecting the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes; and

a partition wall disposed between the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the partition wall intersects the plurality of grouped black matrices.

9. A display device comprising:

a light-emitting element disposed on a substrate, the light-emitting element comprising a plurality of grouped cathode electrodes;

an encapsulation unit disposed on the light-emitting element;

a plurality of grouped black matrices disposed on the encapsulation unit, the plurality of grouped black matrices intersecting the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes;

a thin film transistor connected to an anode electrode of the light-emitting element;

a passivation film disposed between the thin film transistor and the anode electrode; and

a bank disposed so as to expose the anode electrode, wherein the bank, which forms an undercut structure together with the passivation film, is disposed between the plurality of grouped cathode electrodes.
