DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail. However, these embodiments are only exemplary, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.


The light emission device according to one aspect of an embodiment according to the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged opposite each other with a vacuum region therebetween; an electron emission region located at a side of the first substrate facing the second substrate; a driving electrode located on the first substrate and for controlling an emitting current (e.g., magnitude) of the electron emission region; an anode located at a side of the second substrate facing the first substrate; a phosphor layer formed on one surface of the anode and corresponding to the pixel areas; and a spray coated silver (Ag) reflective layer covering the phosphor layer and having reflectivity between about 90% and about 99.9%.


A silver (Ag) reflective layer may be located on one surface of the phosphor layer formed on the front substrate. The Ag reflective layer reflects the visible light emitted toward the rear substrate among the visible light emitted from the phosphor layer toward the front substrate to increase the luminance of the light emitting surface. Such a Ag reflective layer is also known as a metal back layer. In order to improve the cathode luminescence (CL) efficiency of the phosphor layer, research for improving reflective efficiency of Ag reflective layer is in progress.


According to embodiments of the present invention, the reflective layer may be provided by applying a silver (Ag) composition including but not limited to, a Ag salt or Ag nanoparticles, a dispersing agent, an antifoaming agent, and a solvent onto the phosphor layer using a spraying method, and drying it.


The Ag salt includes one or more of, but not limited to, Ag acetate, Ag nitrate, Ag chloride, or a combination thereof. The Ag nanoparticles may be nano-sized Ag particles, for example having an average particle size between about 1 nm and about 100 nm.


The dispersing agent includes a quadribasic acid such as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and the antifoaming agent may include a generally-used antifoaming agent such as silicon or silica.


The solvent includes one or more of, but not limited to, methanol, ethanol, tetradecane, or a combination thereof.


In the composition, the Ag salt or Ag nanoparticles may be used in an amount between about 1 wt % and about 60 wt %, the dispersing agent and antifoaming agent may be used in an amount of 5 wt % or less, and the solvent may be used at a balance amount. The amounts of the dispersing agent, antifoaming agent, and solvent are not necessarily limited.


The drying process is performed at a temperature range between about 60° C. and about 120° C.


Ag ions of the Ag salt are reduced to Ag to form a reflective layer through the drying process, and the reflective layer may be very dense and has substantially uniform thickness. In one embodiment of the present invention, Ag is used after forming an interlayer or lacquer layer, and a Ag spraying method under an air atmosphere is used instead of vacuum thermal evaporation. A reflective layer formed by the Ag spraying method according to one embodiment is very dense and smooth.


Such a smooth reflective layer has excellent reflectivity between about 90% and about 99.9%. This high reflectivity may improve cathode luminescence efficiency of a phosphor.


The reflective layer may have a thickness between about 50 nm and about 300 nm.


The reflective layer of the light emission device includes fine holes for transmitting an electron beam and reflects the visible light emitted toward the first substrate among the visible light emitted from the phosphor layer to the second substrate, so as to improve the luminance of the light emitting surface. The fine holes may be formed through laser processing.


The phosphor layer may be formed with a white phosphor, which is a mixture of a red phosphor, a green phosphor, and a blue phosphor. The red phosphor includes one or more of, but not limited to, Y2O3:Eu, Y2O2S:Eu, SrTiO3:Pr, and combinations thereof, and the green phosphor includes one or more of, but not limited to, Y2SiO5:Tb, Gd2O2S:Tb, ZnS:(Cu,AI), ZnSiO4:Mn, Zn(Ga,Al)2O4:Mn, SrGa2S4:Eu, and combinations thereof. In addition, the blue phosphor includes one or more of, but not limited to, ZnS:(Ag,Al), Y2SiO5:Ce, BaMgAl10O17:Eu, and combinations thereof. According to one embodiment, in the phosphor layer, the red phosphor, the green phosphor, and the blue phosphor are mixed in a weight ratio between about 15:30:24 and about 30:60:45. When the mixing ratio of the red phosphor, the green phosphor, and the blue phosphor is within the range, and it is applied to the light emission device and the light emission device is used for a light source of a display device to provide white light, the light generated from the light-emission device has excellent luminance and suitable color coordinates after transmitting from the display panel.


Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the light emission display having the reflective layer is illustrated with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. However, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate only one embodiment of a light emission device having the reflective layer according to the present invention, and it is not limited thereto. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the inside of an effective region of the light emission device shown in FIG. 1.


The light emission device 100 includes a first substrate 12 and a second substrate 14 arranged opposite to each other with a gap (e.g., a predetermined distance) therebetween. At the edge of the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 14, a sealing member 16 is located to join the substrates 12 and 14 together. The inside space is evacuated to a degree of vacuum of approximately 10−6 Torr, so a vacuum panel 18 is provided with the space enclosed by the first substrate 12, the second substrate 14, and the sealing member 16.


A region enclosed by the first substrate 12, the second substrate 14, and the sealing member 16 can be partitioned into an effective region that contributes to emission of visible light and a non-effective region surrounding the effective region. The effective region of the first substrate 12 includes an electron emitting unit 20 for emitting electrons, and the effective region of the second substrate 14 includes a light emitting unit 22 for emitting visible light.


The electron emission unit 20 includes an electron emission region 24 and driving electrodes for controlling emission current amount (e.g., magnitude) of the electron emission region 24. The driving electrodes include cathode electrodes 26 forming a stripe pattern along one direction (y axis direction in the drawing) of the first substrate 12 and gate electrodes 30 forming a stripe pattern along the direction (x axis direction in the drawing) crossing the cathode electrodes 26 with an insulation layer 28 therebetween.


The gate electrodes 30 and the insulation layer 28 respectively have openings 301 and 281 at crossing regions of cathode electrodes 26 and gate electrodes 30 to expose a part of the cathode electrode 26 surface, and an electron emission region 24 is formed on the cathode electrode 26 inside the opening 281 of the insulation layer. The electron emission region 24 may include any material selected from materials that emit electrons when an electric field is applied under vacuum, such as one or more of, but not limited to, carbon nanotubes, graphite, graphite nanofiber, diamond-like carbon, fullerene, silicon nano-wire, and combinations thereof.


One crossing region overlapping the cathode electrode 26 and the gate electrode 30 may correspond to one pixel area of the light emission device 100, or two or more crossing regions may correspond to one pixel area of the light emission device 100.


In one embodiment, the light emitting unit 22 includes an anode 32, a phosphor layer 34 located on one surface of the anode 32, and a reflective layer 38 covering the phosphor layer 34. The anode 32 is formed with a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) to maintain the phosphor layer 34 in a high potential state when it is applied with a high voltage (anode voltage) of 5 kV or more to transmit the visible light emitted from the phosphor layer 34.


The reflective layer 38 reflects the visible light emitted toward the first substrate 12 among the visible light emitted from the phosphor layer, to the second substrate 14 side, so as to increase the luminance of the light emission surface. In another embodiment, the anode 32 may be omitted, and the reflective layer 38 may then be applied with the anode voltage to function as an anode.


The phosphor layer 34 may be composed of a white phosphor, which may be a mixture of a red phosphor, a green phosphor, and a blue phosphor.


As shown in FIG. 3, in another embodiment, the light emitting unit 22a may further include an intermediate film 36 covering the phosphor layer 34 between the phosphor layer 34 and the reflective layer 38. The intermediate film secures a reflective space of visible light between the phosphor layer and the reflective layer, such that the phosphor layer is spaced from the reflective layer, to improve reflectivity. The intermediate film 36 is removed during a following baking process to provide the reflective space.



FIG. 4 shows a display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention using the light emission device as a light source.


As shown in FIG. 4, the display device 200 includes a light emission device 100 or 100a and a display panel 60 located in front of the light emission device 100 or 100a. A diffuser 52 is located between the light emission device 100 or 100a and the display panel 60 in the embodiment of FIG. 4. The display panel 60 includes a liquid crystal panel or another non-self-emissive display panel. Hereinafter, the display panel 60 will be described in reference to a liquid crystal display panel. In other embodiments, the diffuser 52 may not be used.



FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the display panel shown in FIG. 4.


Referring to FIG. 5, the display panel 60 includes a lower substrate 64 formed with a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) 62, an upper substrate 68 formed with a color filter layer 66, and a liquid crystal layer 70 located between the substrates 64 and 68. Polarizers 72 and 74 are respectively attached on the upper surface of the upper substrate 68 and the lower surface of the lower substrate 64, to polarize light transmitted through the display panel 60.


Transparent pixel electrodes 76 of which the driving is controlled by a TFT 62 per subpixel are located on the inside surface of the lower substrate 64, and a transparent common electrode 78 is located on the inside surface of the upper substrate 68. The color filter layer 66 includes for each pixel a red filter layer 66R, a green filter layer 66G, and a blue filter layer 66B, of which a respective one is located per subpixel.


When a TFT 62 of a certain subpixel turns on, an electric field is formed between the pixel electrode 76 and the common electrode 78. The electric field changes the alignment angle of liquid crystal molecules, thereby changing the light transmission. The display panel 60 controls the luminance and the light emitting color per pixel through this process.


Referring back to FIG. 4, a gate printed circuit board assembly (PBA) 80 transmits the gate driving signal to each TFT gate electrode, and a data printed circuit board assembly (PBA) 82 transmits the data driving signal to each TFT source electrode.


The light emission device 100 or 100a may have fewer pixels than the display panel 60 to allow one pixel of the light emission device 100 or 100a to correspond to two or more pixels of the display panel 60. Each pixel of the light emission device 100 or 100a emits light in accordance with the highest gray level among gray levels of a plurality of corresponding display panel 60 pixels, and expresses gray levels corresponding to 2 to 8 bits.


For convenience of description, pixels of the display panel 60 may be referred to as first pixels and pixels of the light emission device 100 or 100a may be referred to as second pixels. The first pixels corresponding to one second pixel may be referred to as a first pixel group.


The light emission device 100 or 100a may be driven by a process including: detecting the highest gray level among gray levels of the first pixels in the first pixel group with a signal control part (not shown) controlling the display panel 60; calculating the gray level required to emit light in the second pixel depending upon the detected gray level to convert it to digital data; producing a driving signal of the light emission device 100 or 100a by using the digital data; and applying the produced driving signal to the driving electrode of the light emission device 100 or 100a.


The driving signal of the light emission device 100 or 100a includes a scan driving signal and a data driving signal. Any one electrode from the aforementioned cathode and gate electrode, for example the gate electrode, is applied with the scan driving signal, and the other electrode, for example the cathode, is applied with the data driving signal.


A scan printed circuit board assembly (PBA) and a data printed circuit board assembly (PBA) for driving the light emission device 100 or 100a may be located at the rear surface of the light emission device 100 or 100a. First connecting members 84 connect the cathode electrodes to the data printed circuit board assembly (PBA), and second connecting members 86 connect the gate electrodes to the scan printed circuit board assembly (PBA). A third connecting member 88 is for applying an anode voltage to the anode.


As mentioned above, when the image is expressed in the first pixel group corresponding to the second pixel of the light emission device 100 or 100a, the second pixel is synchronized with the first pixel group to emit light of a gray level in accordance with the gray levels of the first pixel group. In other words, the light emission device 100 or 100a provides high luminous light to a bright region in the image expressed by the display panel 60, but it provides low luminous light to a dark region. Accordingly, the display device 200 according to the exemplary embodiment increases the contrast ratio and accomplishes clearer image quality.


The following examples illustrate this disclosure in more detail. However, it is understood that this disclosure is not limited by these examples.


Example 1

Ag acetate:ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid dispersing agent:silica antifoaming agent:solvent (tetradecane) were mixed at a ratio of 20:3:1:76 wt % to prepare a composition. The composition was spray-coated on one side of an interlayer on a phosphor layer of a first substrate shown in FIG. 3 and dried at 80° C. to form a reflective layer. The reflective layer had a thickness of 180 nm. A laser was radiated on the reflective layer to form holes of a 1 μm diameter at an interval of 10 μm in all directions, and the reflective layer was heat-treated at 490° C.


Comparative Example 1

A Ag reflective layer was formed using vacuum thermal deposition on one side of an interlayer on a phosphor layer of a first substrate shown in FIG. 3.

A reflective layer was formed according to the same method as in Example 1, except that the thickness of the reflective layer was 210 nm.


Example 3

A reflective layer was formed according to the same method as in Example 1, except that the thickness of the reflective layer was 320 nm.


Example 4

A reflective layer was formed according to the same method as in Example 1, except that Ag nanoparticles having an average particle size of about 50 nm were used instead of Ag acetate.


Reflectivities (%) of the reflective layers according to Examples 1 to 3 and


Comparative Example 1 were measured, and the results are shown in FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, reflectivities of Examples 1 to 3 are much higher than that of Comparative Example 1.
