Display device and method of manufacturing the same
The present disclosure relates to a display device, and more particularly, to a high-performance display device by which high transmittance is secured and efficiency is enhanced in a manner of using a mixture of an organic matter and an alkaline earth metal as a cathode and facilitating patterning.
1. A display device, comprising:
a substrate comprising a plurality of light emitting parts and a transmitting part between a plurality of the light emitting parts;
an anode at each of the plurality of light emitting parts;
a light emitting layer over the anode; and
a cathode over the light emitting layer to overlap the plurality of the light emitting parts of the substrate, the cathode comprising an alkaline earth metal and a fullerene or fullerene derivative complexed with the alkaline earth metal,
wherein the cathode includes a region non-overlapping with the transmitting part.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cathode overlaps the transmitting part by a size equal to or smaller than ¼ of a total size of the transmitting part in the substrate.
3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a camera under the substrate corresponding to a portion of a region of the transmitting part.
4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the cathode is spaced apart from a camera corresponding region of the substrate.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fullerene or fullerene derivative comprises a carbon aggregate having a number of carbon atoms of 20 or more.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fullerene or fullerene derivative has a spherical or elliptical shape.
7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the alkaline earth metal is located within the spherical or elliptical shape and complexes with one or more carbon atoms of the fullerene or fullerene derivative.
8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the alkaline earth metal is located outside the fullerene and complexes with one or more carbon atoms of the fullerene or fullerene derivative.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a content of the fullerene or fullerene derivative in the cathode is under 10 vol % with respect to a total volume of the cathode.
10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising an electron injection layer between the light emitting layer and the cathode, wherein the electron injection layer includes a lanthanum metal.
11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the alkaline earth metal comprises Mg, Ca, Be, Sr, Ba, Ra or combinations thereof.
12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a capping layer and an encapsulation layer over the cathode.
13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a hole, wherein the cathode is spaced apart from the hole.
14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein a capping layer and an inorganic encapsulation layer are sequentially provided at top and lateral sides of the cathode.
