Abstract
A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a light source for emitting light of a first color; And a light conversion layer for converting the light of the first color into white light. The display device may convert the light of the first color into white light by using a light conversion layer having a very thin thickness. Accordingly, the display device reduces the light loss generated during the conversion and has an improved luminance.
Description
An embodiment relates to a display device.
As information processing technology develops, display devices such as LCD, AMOLED and PDP are being used.
Among these display devices, the LCD does not emit light by itself, but changes the optical characteristics of the liquid crystal to display an image using ambient light or back light.
Embodiments provide a display device having improved luminance.
According to an exemplary embodiment, a display device may include a light source that emits light of a first color; And a light conversion layer for converting the light of the first color into white light.
According to an exemplary embodiment, a display device may include a light source that emits light of a first color; A light guide plate receiving light of a first color emitted from the light source; A display panel on the light guide plate; And a light conversion layer for converting the light of the first color into white light.
In the display device according to the exemplary embodiment, a light conversion layer for converting light of the first color emitted from the light source into white light is disposed on the inside of the display panel, the bottom surface of the display panel, or the top surface of the light guide plate. Therefore, the light of the first color is not converted to white light immediately after being emitted, but is sufficiently diffused and converted to white light.
Accordingly, the display device according to the exemplary embodiment is a light conversion layer having a very thin thickness, and converts light of the first color into white light. Therefore, the display device according to the embodiment can minimize the loss of light generated in the process of changing the light of the first color to white light.
That is, in order to convert the non-diffused first color light into white light, a light conversion layer such as a very thick fluorescent layer is required. However, the display device according to the present exemplary embodiment converts light of sufficiently diffused first color into white light, so that white light can be generated using a very thin light conversion layer.
Thus, the display device according to the embodiment has improved luminance.
In addition, the display panel may include a transparent substrate, the light source may emit light toward the side of the transparent substrate, and the light conversion layer may be disposed on an upper surface of the transparent substrate. Accordingly, the display device according to the embodiment can display a uniform image without using a light guide plate.
Therefore, the display device according to the embodiment is slimmer and can be easily manufactured at low cost.
In the description of the embodiments, it is described that each substrate, layer, region, wiring, or electrode is formed on or under the "on" of each substrate, layer, region, wiring, or electrode, etc. In the case, “on” and “under” include both being formed “directly” or “indirectly” through other components. In addition, the upper or lower reference of each component is described with reference to the drawings. The size of each component in the drawings may be exaggerated for the sake of explanation and does not mean the size actually applied.
