Abstract

A color conversion panel includes: a substrate; a plurality of banks disposed on the substrate, where the banks partition a first light emitting region, a second light emitting region, and a third light emitting region; a first color conversion layer disposed in the first light emitting region, a second color conversion layer disposed in the second light emitting region, and a transmission layer disposed in the third light emitting region; and a first reflective layer disposed to overlap the first color conversion layer and the second color conversion layer, where the first reflective layer includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, a refractive index of the second layer is greater than a refractive index of the third layer, and the refractive index of the third layer is greater than a refractive index of the first layer.

Claims (64)

1. A color conversion panel comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of banks disposed on the substrate, wherein the banks partition a first light emitting region, a second light emitting region, and a third light emitting region;

a first color conversion layer disposed in the first light emitting region, a second color conversion layer disposed in the second light emitting region, and a transmission layer disposed in the third light emitting region; and

a first reflective layer disposed to overlap the first color conversion layer and the second color conversion layer,

wherein the first reflective layer comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer,

a refractive index of the second layer of the first reflective layer is greater than a refractive index of the third layer of the first reflective layer, and

the refractive index of the third layer of the first reflective layer is greater than a refractive index of the first layer of the first reflective layer.

2. The color conversion panel of claim 1 , wherein

the first layer of the first reflective layer is closest to the substrate,

the third layer of the first reflective layer is furthest from the substrate, and

the second layer of the first reflective layer is between the first layer of the first reflective layer and the third layer of the first reflective layer.

3. The color conversion panel of claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the second layer of the first reflective layer is less than a thickness of the first layer of the first reflective layer and a thickness of the third layer of the first reflective layer.

4. The color conversion panel of claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the first layer of the first reflective layer is in a range of about 120 nm to about 140 nm,

a thickness of the second layer of the first reflective layer is in a range of about 90 nm to about 110 nm, and

a thickness of the third layer of the first reflective layer is in a range of about 120 nm to about 140 nm.

5. The color conversion panel of claim 4 , wherein

the refractive index of the first layer of the first reflective layer is in a range of about 1.35 to about 1.45.

6. The color conversion panel of claim 5 , wherein
