Abstract

A display apparatus realizing a narrow viewing angle is provided. The display apparatus may include a light-emitting device on an emission region of a device substrate. A touch structure and a lens may be disposed on an encapsulating element covering the light-emitting device. The lens may be disposed on the emission region. A color filter may be disposed on the touch structure and the lens. Thus, in the display apparatus, Moire phenomenon may be prevented or at least reduced.

Claims (26)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a bank insulating layer on a device substrate, the bank insulating layer defining a first emission region of the device substrate;

a light-emitting device including a first emission electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second emission electrode that are sequentially stacked on the first emission region of the device substrate;

an encapsulating element on the bank insulating layer and the light-emitting device;

a touch structure on the encapsulating element, the touch structure including touch electrodes that overlap the bank insulating layer;

a touch planarization layer on the touch structure, the touch planarization layer including a region that overlaps the first emission region;

an optical element on the touch planarization layer, the optical element including a first lens that overlaps the first emission region and a lens passivation layer that covers the first lens; and

a color filter on the lens passivation layer of the optical element, the color filter overlapping with the first emission region,

wherein a refractive index of the lens passivation layer is less than a refractive index of the first lens.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first lens is greater than a horizontal width of the first emission region.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the first lens opposite to the device substrate is in contact with the lens passivation layer.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bank insulating layer includes a black dye.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bank insulating layer defines a second emission region of the device substrate that is adjacent to the first emission region,

wherein the light-emitting device and the color filter extend to the second emission region,

wherein the optical element further includes a second lens that overlaps the second emission region, and

wherein the bank insulating layer between the first emission region and the second emission region is disposed between the first emission electrode and the light-emitting layer.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a black-matrix disposed on the optical element, the black-matrix being spaced non-overlapping with the first emission region and the second emission region; and

an upper planarization layer covering the color filter and the black-matrix,

wherein the color filter between the first emission region and the second emission region is in contact with the optical element and the upper planarization layer.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the black-matrix overlaps the touch structure.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein an end of the color filter overlaps with the black-matrix.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein a diameter of the second lens is greater than a horizontal width of the second emission region.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the second emission region has a same horizontal width as the first emission region, and wherein a shape of the second lens is a same as a shape of the first lens.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein a distance between the first lens and the second lens is equal to or less than 0.21 times of a diameter of the first lens.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an aspect ratio of the first lens is equal to or less than 4.2.
