Abstract

A display apparatus includes: an organic light emitting diode (OLED) structure including in which at least one blue light-emitting unit and at least one green light-emitting unit are stacked to provide incident light in which the blue incident light and the green incident light are mixed; a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel disposed on the OLED structure; color conversion layers disposed on at least two of the first, the second, or the third pixels, and including quantum dots for converting the mixed incident from the OLED structure into light of a predetermined color; and first, second, and third color filters disposed on the first, the second, and the third pixels, respectively, to absorb or block light of a predetermined wavelength band, wherein a conversion value of an area of a spectrum in a wavelength region of 380 nanometers to 780 nanometers of the green incident light with respect to a difference between a wavelength at the maximum transmittance of the second color filter and the medial wavelength of the incident green light (Δλ) may be 3.6 or greater and 13 or less.

Claims (110)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

an organic light emitting diode (OLED) structure comprising at least one blue light-emitting unit configured to emit blue incident light, and at least one green light-emitting unit configured to emit green incident light, which are stacked and to provide incident light in which the blue incident light and the green incident light are mixed;

a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel disposed on the OLED structure, and respectively configured to emit a first color light, a second color light, and a third color light;

at least two color conversion layers each separately disposed on at least two of the first, the second, or the third pixels, and including quantum dots for converting the incident light from the OLED structure into light of a predetermined color; and

first, second, and third color filters disposed on the first, the second, and the third pixels, respectively, to absorb or block light of a predetermined wavelength band, wherein

a conversion value of an area of a spectrum in a wavelength region of 380 nanometers to 780 nanometers of the green incident light with respect to a difference between a maximum transmittance wavelength of the second color filter and the medial wavelength of the green incident light (Δλ) is about 3.6 or greater and about 13 or less,
