Abstract
A display panel may include a first base substrate, a second base substrate facing the first base substrate, a plurality of wavelength conversion parts that are provided on the first base substrate to face the second base substrate, and at least one of the plurality of wavelength conversion parts includes an emission body, a light blocking layer partially covering the plurality of wavelength conversion parts and having a plurality of openings, the light blocking layer including a metallic material, and a first organic layer provided on the light blocking layer without overlapping the openings.
Claims20
A display panel, comprising:
- a first base substrate;
- a second base substrate facing the first base substrate;
- a plurality of wavelength conversion parts that are provided on the first base substrate to face the second base substrate, and at least one of the plurality of wavelength conversion parts comprises an emission body;
- a light blocking layer partially covering the plurality of wavelength conversion parts and having a plurality of openings, the light blocking layer comprising a metallic material;
- and
- a first organic layer provided on the light blocking layer without overlapping the openings.
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image;
- and
- a backlight unit provided adjacent to the display panel to provide light to the display panel,
- wherein the display panel comprises:
- a first base substrate;
- a second base substrate provided between the first base substrate and the backlight unit;
- a liquid crystal layer provided between the first base substrate and the second base substrate;
- a plurality of wavelength conversion parts provided between the first base substrate and the liquid crystal layer, and configured to change a wavelength of light incident thereto or to allow the incident light to pass therethrough;
- a metal light blocking layer partially covering the plurality of wavelength conversion parts and having a plurality of openings, wherein each of the plurality of openings is provided at a position corresponding to a center region of a corresponding one of the wavelength conversion parts;
- and
- a first organic layer provided on the metal light blocking layer without overlapping the plurality of openings, when viewed in a plan view.
A method of fabricating a display panel, comprising:
- preparing a first base substrate;
- forming a plurality of wavelength conversion parts on a surface of the first base substrate;
- forming a metal layer to cover the plurality of wavelength conversion parts;
- forming a first organic preliminary layer on the metal layer;
- patterning the first organic preliminary layer to form a first organic layer that exposes a portion of the metal layer;
- and
- etching the portion of the metal layer exposed by the first organic layer to form a light blocking layer.
