Abstract

A display panel includes a display layer including a light emitting element generating a source light, a first color filter on the display layer, a first color control layer between the display layer and the first color filter and including a first surface facing the first display layer and a second surface facing the first color filter, and a plurality of capping layers encapsulating the first color control layer. Among the capping layers, a capping layer between the first surface of the first color control layer and the display layer has a first-first thickness that is different from a second-first thickness of a capping layer between the second surface of the first color control layer and the first color filter.

Claims (59)

1. A display panel comprising:

a display layer comprising a light emitting element generating a source light;

a first color filter facing the display layer;

a first color control layer between the display layer and the first color filter and the first color control layer comprising a first surface closest to the display layer and a second surface closest to the first color filter; and

a plurality of capping layers which encapsulates the first color control layer,

wherein the plurality of capping layers comprises:

a first-first thickness which is between the first surface of the first color control layer and the display layer, and

a second-first thickness which is between the second surface of the first color control layer and the first color filter and different from the first-first thickness.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises:

a first capping layer, a second capping layer and a third capping layer, and

at the first color control layer:

the first capping layer between the second surface of the first color control layer and the first color filter and defines the second-first thickness,

the second capping layer and the third capping layer both between the first surface of the first color control layer and the display layer and define the first-first thickness, and

the second-first thickness smaller than the first-first thickness.

3. The display panel of claim 2 , further comprising:

a second color filter spaced apart from the first color filter; and

a second color control layer corresponding to the second color filter, receiving the source light, providing a light different from a light generated by the first color control layer, and comprising a first surface closest to the display layer and a second surface closest the second color filter,

wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises:

the first capping layer and the second capping layer extended from the first color control layer to the second color control layer and between the second surface of the second color control layer and the second color filter, and

the third capping layer extended from the first color control layer to the second color control layer and between the first surface of the second color control layer and the display layer.

4. The display panel of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises at the second color control layer:

the third capping layer between the first surface of the second color control layer and the display layer defining a first-second thickness,

the first capping layer and the second capping layer between the second surface of the second color control layer and the second color filter defining a second-second thickness, and

the second-second thickness greater than the first-second thickness.

5. The display panel of claim 3 , wherein each of the first color control layer and the second color control layer comprises a quantum dot.

6. The display panel of claim 3 , further comprising: a third color filter spaced apart from the first color filter and the second color filter in the direction along the display layer; and

a third color control layer which corresponds to the third color filter and receiving the source light, providing a light different from a light generated by the first color control layer and the second color control layer.

7. The display panel of claim 6 , further comprising:

the first color control layer, the second color control layer and the third color control layer which are spaced apart from each other defining a space respectively therebetween, and

a division pattern corresponding to the space.

8. The display panel of claim 7 , wherein the division pattern comprises a same material as the third color filter.

9. The display panel of claim 6 , further comprising:

the first color control layer, the second color control layer and the third color control layer which are spaced apart from each other defining a space respectively therebetween, and

a division barrier wall extended into the space from outside the first color control layer, the second color control layer and the third color control layer.

10. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein within the plurality of capping layers, the second-first thickness is smaller than the first-first thickness.

11. A display panel comprising:

a display layer comprising a light emitting element generating a source light;

a color filter layer facing the display layer and the color filter layer comprising a first color filter and a second color filter spaced apart from each other along the display layer;

a color control layer between the display layer and the color filter layer and comprising a first color control layer corresponding to the first color filter and a second color control layer corresponding the second color filter; and

a plurality of capping layers encapsulating the first color control layer and the second color control layer,

wherein

each of the first color control layer and the second color control layer comprises a first surface closest to the display layer and a second surface opposing the first surface, and

the plurality of capping layers comprises:

a second-first thickness which is between the second surface of the first color control layer and the first color filter, and

a second-second thickness which is between the second surface of the second color control layer and the second color filter and different from the second-first thickness.

12. The display panel of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises:

a first capping layer, a second capping layer and a third capping layer,

the first capping layer between the second surface of the first color control layer and the first color filter and between the second surface of the second color control layer and the second color filter, and

the second capping layer between the first surface of the first color control layer and the display layer and between the second surface of the second color control layer and the first capping layer.

13. The display panel of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises the third capping layer:

between the second capping layer and the display layer and corresponding to the first color control layer, and

between the first surface of the second color control layer and the display layer and corresponding to the second color control layer.

14. The display panel of claim 13 , wherein within the plurality of capping layers, the second-first thickness is smaller than the second-second thickness.

15. The display panel of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of capping layers further comprises:

a first-first thickness between the first surface of the first color control layer and the display layer,

a first-second thickness between the first surface of the second color control layer and the display layer, and

the first-first thickness greater than then first-second thickness.

16. The display panel of claim 15 , wherein within the plurality of capping layers, the first-first thickness is equal to the second-second thickness.

17. The display panel of claim 16 , wherein each of the first color control layer and the second color control layer comprises a quantum dot.
