Abstract

A display module is disclosed. The display module includes a pixel that includes: first to third self-luminescence elements that are configured to emit light of an ultraviolet wavelength range; first to third color conversion layers respectively corresponding to light emitting surfaces of the first to third self-luminescence elements; a first color filter and a second color filter respectively corresponding to the first color conversion layer and the second color conversion layer; a transparent resin layer corresponding to the third color conversion layer and disposed on a same plane as a plane at which the first color filter and the second color filter are positioned; a transparent cover layer that covers the first color filter, the second color filter, and the transparent resin layer; and an ultraviolet (UV) cutoff filter that covers the transparent cover layer.
