Abstract

A display apparatus, includes: a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel each configured to emit different colors; an organic light-emitting diode on a substrate and including a pixel electrode, an intermediate layer, and an opposite electrode; a black matrix on the organic light-emitting diode; a column spacer on the same layer as the black matrix and spaced apart from the black matrix by a first distance in a plan view; and a first quantum conversion layer on the substrate to correspond to an emission area of the first pixel and including first quantum dots.

Claims (22)

1. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus including a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel emitting different colors, the method comprising:

forming an organic light-emitting diode on a first substrate;

forming a black matrix and a column spacer on the organic light-emitting diode; and

bonding the first substrate where the black matrix and the column spacer are formed to a second substrate where a first quantum conversion layer, a second quantum conversion layer, and a transmission layer are formed,

wherein the column spacer is at a same layer as the black matrix and is spaced apart from the black matrix by a first distance in a plan view.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after the forming of the organic light-emitting diode on the first substrate, forming a thin-film encapsulation layer on the organic light-emitting diode.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the black matrix and the column spacer are formed on the thin-film encapsulation layer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming of the black matrix and the column spacer comprises:

forming a color material layer on the thin-film encapsulation layer;

exposing a portion of the color material layer;

forming the black matrix and the column spacer by developing the color material layer; and

baking the black matrix and the column spacer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first distance is 1 μm or more.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the column spacer has a first thickness from the thin-film encapsulation layer, and

the black matrix has a second thickness from the thin-film encapsulation layer, the second thickness being smaller than the first thickness.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic light-emitting diode includes a pixel electrode exposed at least partially by a pixel definition layer, an intermediate layer formed on the pixel electrode, and an opposite electrode formed on the intermediate layer, and

the black matrix and the column spacer at least partially overlap the pixel definition layer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first quantum conversion layer corresponds to an emission area of the first pixel and includes first quantum dots, the second quantum conversion layer corresponds to an emission area of the second pixel and includes second quantum dots, and an average size of the first quantum dots is greater than an average size of the second quantum dots.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus further includes:

a first color filter overlapping the first quantum conversion layer;

a second color filter overlapping the second quantum conversion layer and having a different color than the first color filter; and

a third color filter overlapping the transmission layer and having a different color than the first color filter and the second color filter.
