Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a first substrate; a light-emitting diode layer over the first substrate and including a light-emitting diode configured to emit light of a wavelength in a first wavelength band; a color-converting layer on the light-emitting diode layer and including a quantum-dot layer or a light-transmissive layer overlapping the light-emitting diode; a second substrate over the first substrate between the light-emitting diode layer and the color-converting layer and including a groove in a surface thereof facing the first substrate, the groove overlapping the light-emitting diode; and an ion-supplying layer filling the groove.

Claims (34)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate;

a light-emitting diode layer over the first substrate and including a light-emitting diode configured to emit light of a wavelength in a first wavelength band;

a color-converting layer on the light-emitting diode layer and including a quantum-dot layer or a light-transmissive layer overlapping the light-emitting diode;

a second substrate over the first substrate between the light-emitting diode layer and the color-converting layer and including a groove in a surface thereof facing the first substrate, the groove overlapping the light-emitting diode; and

an ion-supplying layer filling the groove.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ion-supplying layer includes a polymer having a carboxyl group.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ion-supplying layer includes polyacrylic acid.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a sealing member between the first substrate and the second substrate.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the sealing member defines a cavity between the first substrate and the second substrate.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the color-converting layer and the ion-supplying layer face each other with the cavity therebetween.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the sealing member includes a light-curable resin.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the second substrate in a direction to the first substrate is spaced apart in a thickness direction from a surface of the color-converting layer in a direction to the second substrate.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a distance between a surface of the ion-supplying layer in a direction to the first substrate and a surface of the color-converting layer in a direction to the second substrate is greater than or equal to a distance between a surface of the second substrate in the direction to the first substrate and a surface of the color-converting layer in the direction to the second substrate.

10 . A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate;

a light-emitting diode layer over the first substrate and including a first light-emitting diode, a second light-emitting diode, and a third light-emitting diode each configured to emit light of a wavelength in a first wavelength band;

an encapsulation layer on the light-emitting diode layer;

a bank layer on the encapsulation layer and defining a first bank opening overlapping the first light-emitting diode, a second bank opening overlapping the second light-emitting diode, and a third bank opening overlapping the third light-emitting diode;

a first quantum-dot layer in the first bank opening and configured to convert light of a wavelength in the first wavelength band into light of a wavelength in a second wavelength band;

a second quantum-dot layer in the second bank opening and configured to convert light of a wavelength in the first wavelength band into light of a wavelength in a third wavelength band;

a second substrate over the first substrate such that the light-emitting diode layer, the encapsulation layer, and the bank layer are between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the second substrate includes a first groove overlapping the first light-emitting diode, a second groove overlapping the second light-emitting diode, a third groove overlapping the third light-emitting diode, each of the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove being defined in a surface thereof in a direction to the first substrate; and

an ion-supplying layer including a first organic material layer filling the first groove, a second organic material layer filling the second groove, and a third organic material layer filling the third groove.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the ion-supplying layer includes a polymer having a carboxyl group.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the ion-supplying layer includes polyacrylic acid.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising a sealing member between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the sealing member defines a cavity between the first substrate and the second substrate.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the cavity is between the first quantum-dot layer and the first organic material layer and between the second quantum-dot layer and the second organic material layer.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising a light-transmissive layer in the third bank opening and configured to transmit light of a wavelength in the first wavelength band.

16 . The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first wavelength band is in a range of 450 nm to 495 nm, the second wavelength band is in a range of 625 nm to 780 nm, and the third wavelength band is in a range of 495 nm to 570 nm.
