Abstract

The disclosure relates to a display device including a display panel, an inorganic layer directly contacting the display panel, and a carbon layer directly contacting the inorganic layer. A thickness of the carbon layer is about 1 nm to about 10 nm.

Claims (52)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

an inorganic layer directly contacting the display panel; and

a carbon layer directly contacting the inorganic layer, wherein

a thickness of the carbon layer is about 1 nm to about 10 nm,

the carbon layer includes a halogen, and

the carbon layer includes a region arranged in a simple cubic (SC) structure and a region arranged in a hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the carbon layer includes amorphous carbon.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the carbon layer includes crystalline carbon.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the carbon layer includes a region in which amorphous carbon is disposed.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the carbon layer is about 1.6 to about 2.0.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer includes a silicon-containing compound.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer is a single layer or a multilayer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the inorganic layer is about 400 nm to about 1 μm.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer has a single-layered or multi-layered structure including at least one of a SiON, a SiN x , and a SiO x .

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the inorganic layer includes:

a first layer including a SiN x ;

a second layer including a SiON;

a third layer including a SiN x ; and

a fourth layer including a SiON.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer forms a distributed Bragg reflector.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the display panel includes:

a substrate;

a light-emitting device layer disposed on the substrate;

a thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the light-emitting device layer; and

a touch sensing layer disposed on the thin film encapsulation layer, and

the inorganic layer directly contacts the touch sensing layer.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein

the touch sensing layer includes:

a first insulating layer directly contacting the thin film encapsulation layer;

a first sensing electrode disposed on the first insulating layer;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first sensing electrode;

a second sensing electrode disposed on the second insulating layer; and

a third insulating layer disposed on the second sensing electrode, and

the inorganic layer directly contacts the third insulating layer of the touch sensing layer.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display device does not include a cover window.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a transmittance of a stacked structure of the inorganic layer and the carbon layer is equal to or greater than about 88%, and

a reflectance of the stacked structure of the inorganic layer and the carbon layer is equal to or less than about 10%.

16. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

an adhesive layer directly contacting the display panel;

an inorganic layer directly contacting the adhesive layer; and

a carbon layer directly contacting the inorganic layer, wherein

a thickness of the carbon layer is about 1 nm to about 10 nm,

the carbon layer includes a halogen, and

the carbon layer includes a region arranged in a simple cubic (SC) structure and arranged in a hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the carbon layer includes amorphous carbon or crystalline carbon.

18. The display device of claim 16 , wherein

the inorganic layer has a single-layered or multi-layered structure including a silicon-containing compound, and

a thickness of the inorganic layer is about 400 nm to about 1 μm.
