Absorptive color conversion film
First Claim
1. An emissive display color conversion film comprising:
- an emissive substrate comprising a top surface populated with an array of emissive elements;
a color conversion layer comprising;
a transparent carrier film with a top surface, conformally coating the emissive substrate top surface with a first thickness;
a plurality of absorption regions formed in the carrier film top surface and having a second thickness less than the first thickness, each absorption region overlying a corresponding emissive element and separated from adjacent absorptive regions by the transparent carrier film; and
,a color conversion material occupying only the absorption regions of the color conversion layer.

Abstract
A method is provided for fabricating an emissive display color conversion film. An emissive substrate top surface is conformally coated with an optically transparent carrier film, covering an array of emissive elements. A suspension, including a fluid and a color conversion material (e.g., QDs), is then selectively deposited in absorption regions overlying the emissive elements, for example, using inkjet patterning. After the suspension is absorbed into the absorption regions, the fluid is removed from the suspension, leaving the color conversion material in the absorption regions, and forming the color conversion film. The removal of the fluid encapsulates the color conversion material in the absorption regions. Typically, the conformal coating is thick enough to form a planar top surface. The conformally coating of carrier film may also act to encapsulate both properly aligned emissive elements, as well as misaligned emissive elements that may be located on the emissive substrate top surface.
