It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present. Further, throughout the specification, the word “on” means positioning on or below the object portion, but does not essentially mean positioning on the upper side of the object portion based on a gravitational direction.

In this specification, the phrases “on a plane” or “in plan view” mean viewing a target portion from the top, and the phrase “on a cross-section” means viewing a cross-section formed by vertically cutting a target portion from the side.
All numerical values are approximate, and may vary. All examples of specific materials and compositions are to be taken as nonlimiting and exemplary only. Other suitable materials and compositions may be used instead.

Referring to
The color conversion panel 300 includes a substrate 310, color conversion layers 330R and 330G, a transmission layer 330B, a light blocking layer 320, and a planarization layer 350. The color conversion layers 330R and 330G of the color conversion panel 300 convert incident blue light to light of a red or green color, and the transmission layer 330B simply transmits incident blue light.
Referring to
A wavelength of green light, that appears after color conversion in the first green color conversion layer 331G, is shorter than a wavelength of green light that appears after color conversion in the second green color conversion layer 332G. For example, the second green color conversion layer 332G may convert incident blue light to green light having a wavelength of 540 nm to 550 nm, and the first green color conversion layer 331G may convert incident blue light to green light having a wavelength of 520 nm to 539 nm.
The first green color conversion layer 331G, that converts incident light to green light having a shorter wavelength, is disposed closer to the substrate 310 than the second green color conversion layer 332G that converts incident light to green light having a relatively longer wavelength. That is, the first green color conversion layer 331G is disposed between the substrate 310 and the second green color conversion layer 332G.
Thus, blue light incident on the display panel 400 is transmitted through the second green color conversion layer 332G and is then incident on the first green color conversion layer 331G.
When the green color conversion layer 330G has a double-layer structure and thus incident light is converted to green lights each having a different wavelength, light color-converted to green in the green color conversion layer 330G can be prevented from being reabsorbed in the color conversion layer 330G, thereby improving color conversion efficiency.
That is, when the green color conversion layer 330G is disposed as a single layer, the color converted green light is partially absorbed again while being transmitted through the green color conversion layer 330G, so that color conversion efficiency may be deteriorated. The green color conversion layer 330G converts incident blue light to green light, and conversion efficiency at this time is referred to as color conversion efficiency.
However, in the display device according to the present exemplary embodiment, light passed through the second green color conversion layer 332G is incident on the first green color conversion layer 331G, and the first green color conversion layer 331G emits green light having a lower wavelength range so that the green light emitted from the second green color conversion layer 332G can be prevented from being absorbed in the first green color conversion layer 331G. This is because an absorption spectrum of the first green color conversion layer 331G moves toward a lower wavelength compared to an absorption spectrum of the second green color conversion layer 332G, and accordingly, absorption with respect to light having a wavelength range emitted from the second green color conversion layer 332G is reduced.
Although not illustrated in
In the display device according to the exemplary embodiment of
In addition, a display device according to another exemplary embodiment may include a first red color conversion layer 331R and a second red color conversion layer 332R that emit red light of different wavelength ranges.
However, a green color filter 340G is disposed between the green color conversion layer 330G and the substrate 310 in the green area, and a red color filter 340R is disposed between the green color conversion layer 330G and the substrate 310 in the red area. Thus, only green light color-converted in the green color conversion layer 330G passes through the green color filter 340G, and red light color-converted in the red color conversion layer 330R cannot pass through the green color filter 340G in the green area. In addition, only red light color-converted in the red conversion layer 330R passes through the red color filter 340R and green light color-converted in the green color conversion layer 330G cannot pass through the red color filter 340R in the red area. In the exemplary embodiment of
As described, the display devices of
In this case, a wavelength of light color-converted in the color conversion layer can be adjusted by varying the size of nanocrystals included in the color conversion layer. The nanocrystal is a material that converts a color in the color conversion layer, and may include quantum dots or quantum rods. Hereinafter, the nanocrystal included in the color conversion layer is exemplarily described as a quantum dot, but this is not restrictive. The nanocrystals of the color conversion layer may include only either quantum dots or quantum rods, but this is also not restrictive. The nanocrystals of the color conversion layer may include both quantum dots and quantum rods.
Referring to
When the size of the quantum dot is reduced, an energy band gap of a quantum material may be increased by a quantum confinement effect. Such a quantum confinement effect is increased as the size of the quantum dot is increased. Thus, an energy band gap of the smaller first green quantum dot 40G is lower than an energy band gap of the larger second green quantum dot 41G, and accordingly, a wavelength of light color-converted in the first green color conversion layer 331G becomes shorter.
When the quantum dot has a core/shell structure, a core diameter of the first green quantum dot 40G may be smaller than a core diameter of the second green quantum dot 41G. This is because color conversion substantially occurs in a core of the core/shell structure, and thus the quantum confinement effect is increased as the size of the core is decreased.
However, the first green quantum dot 40G and the second green quantum dot 41G may be the same material or may be different materials. When the first green quantum dot 40G and the second green quantum dot 41G are the same material, the size of the first green quantum dot 40G should be smaller than the size of the second green quantum dot 41G, but when the first green quantum dot 40G and the second green quantum dot 41G are different materials, the size of the first green quantum dot 40G may be equal to the size of the second green quantum dot 41G or the size of the second green quantum dot 41G may be greater than the size of the first green quantum dot 40G. In this case, the first green quantum dot 40G may include a material that has a higher energy band gap compared to that of the second green quantum dot 41G.
As previously described, when the color conversion layer is disposed as a double-layered structure and thus incident light is color-converted to lights each having a different wavelength, reabsorption of light color-converted in the color conversion layer can be prevented, thereby improving color conversion efficiency.
Comparative Example 1 is a color conversion layer that color-converts incident light to light having a wavelength of 530 nm, Comparative Example 2 is a color conversion layer that color-converts incident light to light having a wavelength of 545 nm, and Exemplary Embodiment 1 is a color conversion layer formed by stacking a second layer that converts incident light to light having a wavelength of 545 nm on a first layer that color-converts incident light to light having a wavelength of 530 nm.
Referring to
Table 1 shows light conversion rates according to quantum efficiency in a partial area of
As shown in Table 1, Exemplary Embodiment 1, which is the double-layered color conversion layer, has a higher light conversion rate for the same quantum efficiency, as compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
Hereinafter, a display device including the above-described color conversion panel will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present embodiment is merely an example of the display device, and is not limited to the structure described in this embodiment. That is, the present invention includes a double-layer structure in which the color conversion layer converts light into a color having different wavelengths, and as long as a color conversion panel having a structure in which a wavelength of light converted in the color conversion layer that is disposed on the side closer to the user's eye is shorter than a wavelength of light converted in the color conversion layer that is disposed farther from the user's eye is included, the display device is applicable to display devices of various structures.

liquid crystal layer 3. The gate insulating layer 140 may include an inorganic insulation material.
A semiconductor layer 154 is disposed on the gate insulating layer 140.
A data line 171 is disposed between the semiconductor layer 154 and the liquid crystal layer 3, and extends in a second direction and thus crosses the gate line 121. A source electrode 173 extends from the data line 171 and may overlap the gate electrode 124. A drain electrode 175 is separated from the data line 171, and as shown in
A part of the semiconductor layer 154 may not overlap the data line 171 and the drain electrode 175 in an area between the source electrode 173 and the drain electrode 175. Except for such a non-overlapped portion, the semiconductor layer 154 may have a shape in plan view that is substantially the same as the data line 171 and the drain electrode 175.
One gate electrode 124, one source electrode 173, and one drain electrode 175 form a single thin film transistor together with the semiconductor layer 154, and a channel of the thin film transistor is an area of the semiconductor layer 154 between the source electrode 173 and the drain electrode 175.
A passivation layer 180 is disposed between the source electrode 173, the drain electrode 175, and the liquid crystal layer 3. The passivation layer 180 may include an inorganic insulation material such as a silicon nitride or a silicon oxide, an organic insulation material, a low-dielectric insulation material, and the like.
The passivation layer 180 has a contact hole 185 that partially overlaps the drain electrode 175.
A first electrode 191 is disposed between the passivation layer 180 and the liquid crystal layer 3. The first electrode 191 is physically and electrically connected with the drain electrode 175 through the contact hole 185, and receives a data voltage from the drain electrode 175. The first electrode 191 may be a pixel electrode.
A first alignment layer 11 is disposed between the first electrode 191 and the liquid crystal layer 3.
The second display panel 200 includes a second substrate 210, a light blocking member 220, a second electrode 270, a second alignment layer 21, and a second polarization layer 22.
The second polarization layer 22 is disposed on one side of the second substrate 210, and the second electrode 270 is disposed on the other side of the second substrate 210. The second electrode 270 may be a common electrode.
The second polarization layer 22 includes a plurality of microlines that are arranged at constant intervals, and the plurality of microlines may include a metal. However, this is not restrictive, and the polarization layer 22 may instead be disposed as a coating type of polarization layer.
The light blocking member 220 is disposed between the second substrate 210 and the second electrode 270. The light blocking member 220 may extend in the second direction while overlapping the data line 171. Although it is not illustrated, the light blocking member 220 may further include a stripe that extends in the first direction while overlapping the gate line 121.

The light blocking layer 320 is disposed between the substrate 310 and the display panel 400. The light blocking layer 320 is disposed overlapping the light blocking member 220, and thus may extend along the second direction. Alternatively, referring to
In other words, the light blocking layer 320 may be formed in the shape of a lattice that includes a stripe that extends along the first direction and a vertical portion extending along the second direction. However, this is but an example, and the light blocking layer 320 may include only a vertical portion that extends along the second direction. In this case, the gate line 121 and the thin film transistor may overlap the light blocking member 220 of the display panel 400, and may be light-blocked by the light blocking member 220.
The green color conversion layer 330G, the red conversion layer 330R, and the transmission layer 330B are disposed between the substrate 310 and the display panel 400.

Further, the color conversion media layer may have a core/shell structure where one quantum dot surrounds another quantum dot. An interface between the core and the shell may have a concentration gradient, such that a concentration of an element existing in the shell is gradually reduced nearing the center thereof.
Further, a form of the quantum dot may be any form generally used or to be used in the art and is not particularly limited, but more specifically, it is preferable to use forms such as spherical, pyramidal, multi-arm-shaped, or cubic nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, and nanoplate-shaped particles.
