Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a light emitting region and a peripheral region adjacent to the light emitting region; an organic layer disposed on the display panel and having an opening that overlaps the light emitting region; and an adhesive layer disposed on the organic layer. The adhesive layer includes a first adhesive layer including a first base resin and having a first refractive index; and a second adhesive layer disposed on the first adhesive layer and having a second refractive index less than the first refractive index.

Claims (64)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including:

a light emitting region; and

a peripheral region adjacent to the light emitting region;

an organic layer disposed on the display panel and having an opening that overlaps the light emitting region; and

an adhesive layer disposed on the organic layer, wherein

the adhesive layer includes:

a first adhesive layer including a first base resin and having a first refractive index; and

a second adhesive layer disposed on the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer including a second base resin and having a second refractive index less than the first refractive index,

the opening is defined by removing portions of the organic layer,

the first base resin comprises an aromatic (meth)acrylate compound,

the second base resin comprises an aliphatic (meth)acrylate compound,

the organic layer has a third refractive index, and

the first refractive index is greater than the third refractive index.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic (meth)acrylate compound is represented by any one of Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3:

wherein in Formulas 1 to 3,

X is O or S,

R a , R b , R c , and R d are each independently a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted methyl group,

R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 2 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms,

n 1 and n 2 are each independently an integer from 0 to 5,

n 3 and n 4 are each independently an integer from 0 to 4, and

m 1 , m 2 , and m 3 are each independently an integer from 0 to 6.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer further comprises a filler dispersed in the first base resin.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the filler comprises at least one of zirconium oxide and titanium oxide.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the filler comprises polystyrene beads.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first refractive index is in a range of about 1.55 to about 1.7, and

the second refractive index is in a range of about 1.45 to about 1.48.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer has a thickness in a range of about 3 μm to about 25 μm.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer has a thickness in a range of about 25 μm to about 75 μm.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first adhesive layer has a storage modulus in a range of about 0.2 MPa to about 10 MPa at −20° C., and

the second adhesive layer has a storage modulus in a range of about 0.05 MPa to about 0.15 MPa at −20° C.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer covers the organic layer.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a first non-folding region, a folding region, and a second non-folding region which are arranged in a predetermined direction.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising an input sensing member disposed between the display panel and the adhesive layer.

13. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising an anti-reflection member disposed on the adhesive layer.

14. A display device comprising:

a folding region and a non-folding region which are adjacent to each other;

a display panel including:

a light emitting region; and

a peripheral region adjacent to the light emitting region;

an organic layer disposed on the display panel and having an opening that overlaps the light emitting region; and

an adhesive layer disposed on the organic layer, wherein

the adhesive layer includes:

a first adhesive layer including a first base resin, the first base resin including an aromatic (meth)acrylate compound; and

a second adhesive layer disposed on the first adhesive layer and including a second base resin,

the opening is defined by removing portions of the organic layer,

the second base resin comprises an aliphatic (meth)acrylate compound, and

the first adhesive layer has a refractive index greater than a refractive index of the organic layer and a refractive index of the second adhesive layer.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the first adhesive layer further comprises a filler dispersed in the first base resin.

16. An electronic device comprising a display device, the display device comprising:

a display panel including:

a light emitting region; and

a peripheral region adjacent to the light emitting region;

an organic layer disposed on the display panel and having an opening that overlaps the light emitting region; and

an adhesive layer disposed on the organic layer, wherein the adhesive layer includes:

a first adhesive layer including a first base resin and having a first refractive index; and

a second adhesive layer disposed on the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer including a second base resin and having a second refractive index less than the first refractive index,

the opening is defined by removing portions of the organic layer,

the first base resin comprises an aromatic (meth) acrylate compound,

the second base resin comprises an aliphatic (meth) acrylate compound,

the organic layer has a third refractive index, and

the first refractive index is greater than the third refractive index.
