Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel, which emit light of different colors from one another; light-emitting diodes corresponding to the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, respectively; a functional layer arranged in a light-emitting direction of the light-emitting diodes and including a first quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the first sub-pixel and a second quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the second sub-pixel; and a light absorption layer disposed between the light-emitting diodes and the functional layer. At least a portion of the light absorption layer is disposed between the light-emitting diode corresponding to the first sub-pixel and the first quantum dot layer, the first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, and the light absorption layer includes a pigment or a dye absorbing red light.

Claims (35)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel, which emit light of different colors from one another;

light-emitting diodes corresponding to the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, respectively, and which emit light of a same color;

a functional layer arranged in a light-emitting direction of the light-emitting diodes and comprising a first quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the first sub-pixel and a second quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the second sub-pixel; and

a light absorption layer disposed between the light-emitting diodes and the functional layer,

wherein at least a portion of the light absorption layer is disposed between the light-emitting diode corresponding to the first sub-pixel and the first quantum dot layer,

wherein the first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, and

wherein the light absorption layer comprises a pigment or a dye, which absorbs red light.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light absorption layer comprises a blue or cyan pigment or dye.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 80% or greater in a wavelength range of about 400 nanometers (nm) to about 495 nm.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 60% or less in a wavelength range of about 600 nm to about 780 nm.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the light absorption layer overlaps a partition wall arranged between the first quantum dot layer and the second quantum dot layer in a plan view.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein another portion of the light absorption layer is disposed between the light-emitting diode corresponding to the second sub-pixel and the second quantum dot layer.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel,

wherein the light absorption layer comprises a pigment or a dye, which absorbs green light.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the light absorption layer comprises a blue pigment or dye.

9. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 60% or less in a wavelength range of about 500 nm to about 570 nm.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light absorption layer has a thickness of about 0.5 micrometers (μm) to about 10 μm.

11. A display apparatus comprising:

a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel, which emit light of different colors from one another;

light-emitting diodes corresponding to the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, respectively, and which emit blue light;

a functional layer arranged in a light-emitting direction of the light-emitting diodes and comprising a first quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the first sub-pixel and a second quantum dot layer corresponding to an emission area of the second sub-pixel, wherein the first quantum dot layer is configured to convert the blue light emitted from the light-emitting diode corresponding to the first sub-pixel into red light; and

a light absorption layer disposed between the light-emitting diodes and the functional layer,

wherein at least a portion of the light absorption layer is disposed between the light-emitting diode corresponding to the first sub-pixel and the first quantum dot layer, and

wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 60% or less in a wavelength range of about 600 nm to about 780 nm.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 80% or greater in a wavelength range of about 400 nm to about 495 nm.

13. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption layer comprises a pigment or a dye, which absorbs red light.

14. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption layer comprises a blue or cyan pigment or dye.

15. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a portion of the light absorption layer overlaps a partition wall arranged between the first quantum dot layer and the second quantum dot layer in a plan view.

16. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption layer extends between the light-emitting diode corresponding to the second sub-pixel and the second quantum dot layer.

17. The display apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel,

wherein the light absorption layer comprises a pigment or a dye, which absorbs green light.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the light absorption layer comprises a blue pigment or dye.

19. The display apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the light absorption layer has a light transmittance of about 60% or less in a wavelength range of about 500 nm to about 570 nm.

20. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the light absorption layer has a thickness of about 0.5 μm to about 10 μm.
