Abstract

A display device includes light emitting elements disposed in pixels; a color conversion layer disposed on the light emitting elements; a color filter layer disposed on the color conversion layer; and a resonant filter disposed between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer. The resonant filter includes a first semi-transmissive layer, a second semi-transmissive layer, and a medium disposed between the first semi-transmissive layer and the second semi-transmissive layer.

Claims (47)

1 . A display device comprising:

light emitting elements disposed in pixels;

a color conversion layer disposed on the light emitting elements;

a color filter layer disposed on the color conversion layer; and

a resonant filter disposed between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer,

wherein the resonant filter includes:

a first semi-transmissive layer;

a second semi-transmissive layer; and

a medium disposed between the first semi-transmissive layer and the second semi-transmissive layer.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the pixels include a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel, and

the resonant filter includes:

a first resonant filter disposed in the first pixel; and

a second resonant filter disposed in the second pixel.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first resonant filter or the second resonant filter does not overlap the third pixel in a plan view.

4 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the resonant filter further includes a third resonant filter overlapping the third pixel in a plan view.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein a thickness of a medium of the first resonant filter is different from a thickness of a medium of the second resonant filter.

6 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein a thickness of a medium of the first resonant filter is equal to a thickness of a medium of the second resonant filter.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the pixels include:

a first pixel emitting light of a first color;

a second pixel emitting light of a second color; and

a third pixel emitting light of a third color, and

the resonant filter allows the lights of the first to third colors to be selectively reflected therefrom or transmitted therethrough.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the resonant filter allows about 70% or more of the light of the first color and/or the light of the second color to be transmitted therethrough, and allows about 20% or less of the light of the third color to be transmitted therethrough.

9 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the resonant filter allows about 10% or less of the light of the first color and/or the light of the second color to be reflected therefrom, and allows about 60% or more of the light of the third color to be reflected therefrom.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the medium of the resonant filter has a refractive index of about 2.5 or less.

11 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first semi-transmissive layer or the second semi-transmissive layer is a metal thin film.

12 . A display device comprising:

first to third pixels respectively emitting light of first to third colors;

light emitting elements disposed in the first to third pixels;

a color conversion layer disposed on the light emitting elements;

a color filter layer disposed on the color conversion layer;

a first resonant filter disposed in the first pixel between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer, and contacting the color filter layer; and

a second resonant filter disposed in the second pixel between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first resonant filter or the second resonant filter allows the lights of the first to second colors to be selectively reflected therefrom or transmitted therethrough.

14 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first resonant filter and/or the second resonant filter do/does not overlap the third pixel in a plan view.

15 . The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a third resonant filter disposed in the third pixel between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer.

16 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein a thickness of the first resonant filter is different from a thickness of the second resonant filter.

17 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein a thickness of the first resonant filter is equal to a thickness of the second resonant filter.

18 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the color conversion layer includes:

a first color conversion layer disposed in the first pixel;

a second color conversion layer disposed in the second pixel; and

a light scattering layer disposed in the third pixel.

19 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the light emitting elements emit the light of the third color.

20 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein each of the light emitting elements includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and an active layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer.
