Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel and a display device capable of reducing the reflection of external light. The display panel includes a touch sensor, disposed on an encapsulation unit, and an antireflective film disposed in a non-emission area of the touch sensor so as to overlap each other, whereby it is possible to reduce external light from being incident on the touch sensor and a routing line, and therefore it is possible to reduce the reflectance of external light without using an expensive polarizing plate.

Claims (37)

1. A display device comprising:

a light-emitting element on a substrate;

an encapsulation unit on the light-emitting element, the encapsulation unit including at least one inorganic encapsulation layer and at least one organic encapsulation layer;

a touch sensor on the encapsulation unit;

an antireflective film on the touch sensor, the antireflective film located in a non-emission area, excluding an emission area in which the light-emitting element is disposed; and

an adhesive film on the antireflective film, and a cover substrate on the adhesive film.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the antireflective film includes a black layer on the touch sensor.

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

a white layer between the black layer and the touch sensor,

wherein the white layer overlaps the black layer.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the black layer includes at least one of black nanoparticles, a binder, and a sensitive emulsion.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the white layer includes at least one of white nanoparticles, a binder, and a sensitive emulsion.

6. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the black layer has a same line width as the white layer, and is on an upper surface of the white layer.

7. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the black layer has a larger line width than the white layer, and is on an upper surface and a side surface of the white layer.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the touch sensor comprises:

first touch electrodes arranged on the encapsulation unit in a first direction, the first touch electrodes connected to each other via a first bridge; and

second touch electrodes arranged on the encapsulation unit in a second direction, the second touch electrodes connected to each other via a second bridge,

wherein the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes are in a mesh shape.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein each of the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes includes a mesh film formed in a mesh shape, or includes a transparent conductive film and a mesh metal film disposed above or under the transparent conductive film and formed in a mesh shape.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the antireflective film includes a black layer on the touch sensor, and

wherein the black layer overlaps the mesh shaped first touch electrodes and the mesh shaped second touch electrodes.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the antireflective film further includes a white layer between the black layer and the touch sensor, and

wherein the black layer and the white layer overlap the mesh shaped first touch electrodes and the mesh shaped second touch electrodes.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a bank in the non-emission area, the bank exposing an anode electrode of the light-emitting element,

wherein the black layer and the white layer overlap the bank.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the first bridge and the second bridge overlap the bank.

14. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes have opening areas, respectively, and

wherein the opening areas correspond to the emission area.

15. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a touch passivation film on the first bridge, the second bridge, the first touch electrode, and the second touch electrode,

wherein the antireflective film is on the touch passivation film.

16. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the touch passivation film includes an organic material.

17. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the touch passivation film includes an inorganic material.

18. The display device according to claim 17 , wherein the inorganic material includes a silicon oxide layer or a silicon nitride layer.

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

an optical film between the adhesive film and the antireflective film.
