Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a display device. More particularly, the embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a display device including an insulating film including a first concave portion, a first partition wall which is positioned in the first concave portion and divides the first concave portion, and a first lens portion corresponding to divided areas of the first concave portion, thereby effectively improving light emitting efficiency.

Claims (37)

1 . A display device, comprising:

a substrate including a first subpixel;

an insulating film including a first concave portion which is positioned in the first subpixel and a first sloped portion which is positioned while surrounding the first concave portion, and positioned on the substrate;

a first partition wall positioned in the first concave portion, and dividing the first concave portion;

a first electrode positioned on the insulating film and the first partition wall;

an encapsulation layer positioned on the first electrode; and

a first lens portion positioned on the encapsulation layer, and positioned in correspondence to areas of the first concave portion which are divided by the first partition wall.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first concave portion includes a first area and a second area which are divided by the first partition wall.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first concave portion includes a first area and a second area which are divided by the first partition wall, and

the first lens portion includes a first portion which corresponds to the first area and a second portion which corresponds to the second area.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first lens portion is positioned not to overlap with a portion of an area where the first partition wall is positioned.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first lens portion is positioned to overlap with entirety of an area where the first partition wall is positioned.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a bank positioned on the first electrode,

wherein the bank is positioned to overlap with the first partition wall.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a bank positioned on the first electrode,

wherein the bank is positioned not to overlap with the first partition wall.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a light emitting layer positioned on the bank and the first electrode; and

a second electrode positioned on the light emitting layer,

wherein the second electrode includes a structure in which the second electrode is cut along the first partition wall.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first subpixel includes an emission area, and

the emission area includes a first area which corresponds to the first concave portion and a second area which is positioned while surrounding the first area.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first area and the second area emit light of different wavelengths.

11 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first area of the first concave portion and the second area of the first concave portion have substantially the same area.

12 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate includes a second subpixel which emits light of a color different from the first subpixel,

the insulating film includes a second concave portion which is positioned in the second subpixel, and a second sloped portion which is positioned while surrounding the second concave portion,

the display device includes a second partition wall which is positioned in the second concave portion and divides the second concave portion,

the first electrode is positioned on the insulating film and the second partition wall,

the display device includes a second lens portion which is positioned on the encapsulation layer and is positioned in correspondence to areas of the second concave portion which are divided by the second partition wall, and

the areas of the first concave portion which are divided by the first partition wall and the areas of the second concave portion which are divided by the second partition wall have substantially the same area.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first lens portion and the second lens portion have substantially the same height.

14 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first lens portion and the second lens portion have substantially the same aspect ratio.
