     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Hereinafter, referring to the drawings, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. In the following description of the present invention, the well-known functions or constructions may be omitted in order to clarify the present invention. The present disclosure may be embodied in several different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. 
     In order to clearly illustrate the present disclosure, the description and relationships are omitted, and throughout the disclosure, the same or similar configuration elements are designated by the same reference numerals. Also, since the size and thickness of each configuration shown in the drawing are arbitrarily shown for better understanding and ease of description, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. 
     In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are exaggerated for clarity. In addition, the thicknesses of some layers and regions are exaggerated for convenience of explanation. 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. Also, to be disposed “on” the reference portion means to be disposed above or below the reference portion, and does not necessarily mean “above” in an opposite direction of gravity. 
     It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, “a first element,” “component,” “region,” “layer” or “section” discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein. 
     The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a”, “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are intended to include both the singular and plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “an element” has the same meaning as “at least one element,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “At least one” is not to be construed as limiting “a” or “an.” “Or” means “and/or.” As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. In addition, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word “comprise” and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” will be understood to imply the inclusion of stated elements but not the exclusion of any other elements. 
     Further, in the entire specification, the term “plan view” means a case in which a target part is viewed from the top, and the term “cross-sectional view” means a case in which a cross-section of the target part that is cut in a vertical direction is viewed from the side. 
     Hereinafter, the term “combination” refers to a mixture and a stacked structure of two or more. 
     Hereinafter, a display panel according to an embodiment is described with reference to the drawings. 
       FIG.  1    is a plan view illustrating an example of a pixel arrangement of a display panel according to an embodiment.

Herein, as an example, a configuration in which three subpixels PX 1 , PX 2 , and PX 3  constitute one pixel PX is illustrated, but the configuration is not limited thereto. An additional subpixel such as a white subpixel may be further included, and one or more subpixel configured to display the same color may be included.

     The first light emitting layer  183   a , the second light emitting layer  183   b , and the third light emitting layer  183   c  may emit light having the same or different emission spectrum, and, for example, each may emit light having a blue emission spectrum. Detailed descriptions are the same as the light emitting layer  183  described above. 
     The first charge generation layer  186   a  may inject electric charges into the first light emitting layer  183   a  and/or the second light emitting layer  183   b , and may control charge balances between the first light emitting layer  183   a  and the second light emitting layer  183   b . The second charge generation layer  186   b  may inject electric charges into the second light emitting layer  183   b  and/or the third light emitting layer  183   c , and may control charge balances between the second light emitting layer  183   b  and the third light emitting layer  183   c . Each of the first and second charge generation layers  186   a  and  186   b  may be one layer or two or more layers. 
     In an embodiment, the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  may be micro light emitting diodes (hereinafter, also referred to as “pLEDs”). In this case, a pitch between adjacent light emitting elements, that is, a distance between each center of two adjacent light emitting elements may be less than or equal to about 100 micrometers. 
     In an embodiment, a central wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  may be about 430 nm to about 470 nm, for example, about 440 nm to about 460 nm, but is not limited thereto. 
     The plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  may be electrically connected to each other. For example, a plurality of light emitting elements present in subpixels displaying the same color may be electrically connected to each other. As will be described later, lights displayed by the subpixels PX 1 , PX 2 , and PX 3  are the lights having specific emission spectrums, which are converted by the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B disposed on the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  that emit lights having the emission spectrums, respectively, where the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B convert the lights emitted by the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  to the different specific emission spectrums from each other. Accordingly, a plurality of light emitting elements under the color conversion layers that convert light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  into light having the same different specific emission spectrum may be electrically connected to each other. For example, plurality of light emitting elements  20   a  under the color conversion layers  30 R that convert blue light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  into red light may be electrically connected to each other. Also, for example, plurality of light emitting elements  20   b  under the color conversion layers  30 G configured to convert blue light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  into green light may be electrically connected to each other. Furthermore, plurality of light emitting elements  20   c  under the color conversion layer  30 B that transmits the blue light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  as it is without converting it into light of a different wavelength may be electrically connected to each other (See the definition of the light transmission layer below). Through these connections, the light emitting elements in the region that emits light of the same color may simultaneously be driven. Accordingly, as will be described later, in fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment, in order to form a color conversion layer having a specific emission spectrum and/or an absorption-type color filter layer formed thereon, light emitting elements under the color conversion layer and the absorption-type color filter layer may selectively be driven at the same time. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B is formed directly on the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , and for example, may be formed directly on the upper electrode of each of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c.    
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B is overlapped with the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c . Specifically, the color conversion layer  30 R is overlapped with the light emitting element  20   a , the color conversion layer  30 G is overlapped with the light emitting element  20   b , and the color conversion layer  30 B is overlapped with the light emitting element  20   c.    
     Herein, the “overlapped” means that when the display panel is viewed from the top (i.e., a plan view: a view in a z-direction), the color conversion layer and the light emitting element which are overlapped are present substantially at the same location. In other words, as shown in  FIG.  2   , when the display panel is viewed (e.g., view in y-direction) from the cross-section cut in a thickness direction, each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B is present on the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , but when display panel is viewed from the top, that is, as shown in  FIG.  1   , on the plane of the display panel (i.e., a plan view), a location of each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and a location of the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  overlapped with each other or a region taken by each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  overlapped with each other is substantially equivalent. Herein, the “substantially equivalent” means that either one of the light emitting element and the color conversion layer overlapped with each other may have a slightly larger or smaller region than or a partially different outline from the other one of the light emitting element and the color conversion layer overlapped with each other, but the two are mostly the same. However, either one of the overlapped two does not invade the nonoverlapped region of the other one. For example, a specific color conversion layer overlapped with a specific light emitting element among the plurality of color conversion layers formed on the plurality of light emitting elements does not extend to a region where the other light emitting elements excluding the specific light emitting element are present. 
     In an embodiment, each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B has the same planar size and shape as the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  in a plan view. 
     In another embodiment, on the premise that each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B is overlapped with the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , each of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  may have a larger planar size than the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c  in a plan view. 
     Each of the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G includes quantum dots  121 R or  121 G for converting light of emission spectra emitted from each of the light emitting elements  20   a  and  20   b  into light of different emission spectra. The quantum dots  121 R and  121 G may convert emission spectra of light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a  and  20   b  into emission spectra of color light displayed by each of subpixels PX 1  and PX 2 . 
     The quantum dot may have a photoluminescence characteristic of receiving light of a predetermined emission spectrum and emitting light of a longer wavelength spectrum. Since the quantum dot has isotropic light emission characteristics, it may emit light in all directions, thereby exhibiting an improved optical viewing angle. 
     The quantum dot may have various shapes, such as, for example, a spherical shape, a pyramidal shape, a multi-arm shape, a cubic shape, a quantum rod, and a quantum plate. The quantum dot, for example, may have a particle diameter of about 1 nm to about 100 nm (the size of the longest portion if not spherical), and for example, may have a particle diameter of about 1 nm to about 80 nm, for example about 1 nm to about 50 nm, or for example, about 1 nm to about 20 nm. 
     The quantum dot may control an energy bandgap according to the size and/or composition thereof, and thus the emission wavelength may also be adjusted. For example, as the size of the quantum dot increases, it may have a narrow energy bandgap, and thus may emit light of a relatively long wavelength spectrum. As the size of the quantum dot decreases, the energy bandgap becomes wider, and thus the quantum dots may emit light of a relatively short wavelength spectrum. 
     For example, according to a size and/or composition thereof, the quantum dot may emit light of, for example, a predetermined wavelength spectrum among the visible light wavelength spectrum. For example, the quantum dot may selectively emit light in one of a red emission spectrum, a green emission spectrum, and a blue emission spectrum. The light in the red emission spectrum may have a maximum emission wavelength, for example, in about 610 nm to about 670 nm, the light of the green emission spectrum may have a maximum emission wavelength, for example, in about 520 nm to about 560 nm, and the light in the blue emission spectrum may have a maximum emission wavelength, for example, in about 420 nm to about 480 nm. For example, light having a plurality of wavelength spectra may be emitted by including two or more types of quantum dots of different sizes and/or compositions. For example, two or more types of quantum dots of different sizes and/or compositions may be mixed or stacked to emit white light. 
     The quantum dot may have a relatively narrow full width at half maximum (“FWHM”). Herein, the full width at half maximum is the width of a wavelength corresponding to half of the maximum emission point, and when the full width at half maximum is small, light in a narrow wavelength region may be emitted, which indicates high color purity. The quantum dot may have, for example, a full width at half maximum of less than or equal to about 50 nm, and within the above range, for example, less than or equal to about 45 nm, less than or equal to about 40 nm, less than or equal to about 35 nm, less than or equal to about 30 nm, or less than or equal to about 28 nm, within the above range, about 3 nm to about 50 nm, about 3 nm to about 45 nm, about 3 nm to about 40 nm, about 3 nm to about 35 nm, about 3 nm to about 30 nm, or about 3 nm to about 28 nm. As described above, the quantum dot may implement good color purity and color reproducibility by having a relatively narrow full width at half maximum. 
     The quantum dot may be commercially available or may be synthesized by any method. For example, it may be synthesized by a wet chemical process, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (“MOCVD”), molecular beam epitaxy (“MBE”), or a similar process thereto. In an embodiment, the quantum dots may be colloidal particles synthesized through a wet chemical process. In the wet chemical process, crystal particles are grown by reacting precursor materials in an organic solvent, and in this case, the organic solvent or ligand compound may be coordinated to the surface of the quantum dot, thereby controlling a growth of the crystal. Specific types of organic solvents and ligand compounds are known. The colloidal quantum dots synthesized in the wet chemical process may be recovered by adding a non-solvent to the reaction solution and centrifuging the final mixture. This recovery process may result in the removal of at least a portion of the organic matter coordinated to the surface of the quantum dot. Examples of non-solvents include, but are not limited to, acetone, ethanol, methanol, or the like. 
     For example, the quantum dot may include a Group II-VI semiconductor compound, a Group III-V semiconductor compound, a Group III-VI semiconductor compound, a Group IV-VI semiconductor compound, a Group IV element or semiconductor compound, a Group I-III-VI semiconductor compound, a Group I-II-IV-VI semiconductor compound, a Group II-III-V semiconductor compound, or a combination thereof. 
     The Group II-VI semiconductor compound may include, for example, a binary semiconductor compound selected from CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, MgSe, MgS, and a mixture thereof; a ternary semiconductor compound selected from CdSeS, CdSeTe, CdSTe, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnSTe, HgSeS, HgSeTe, HgSTe, HgZnS, HgZnSe, HgZnTe, MgZnSe, MgZnS, CdZnS, CdZnSe, CdZnTe, CdHgSe, CdHgS, CdHgTe, and a mixture thereof; a quaternary semiconductor compound selected from CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe, CdZnSTe, CdHgSeS, CdHgSeTe, CdHgSTe, HgZnTeS, HgZnSeS, HgZnSeTe, HgZnSTe, and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     The Group III-V semiconductor compound may include, for example, a binary semiconductor compound selected from GaN, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, AlN, AlP, AlAs, AlSb, InN, InP, InAs, InSb, and a mixture thereof; a ternary semiconductor compound selected from GaNP, GaNAs, GaNSb, GaPAs, GaPSb, AlNP, AlNAs, AlNSb, AlPAs, AlPSb, InGaP, InNP, InAlP, InNAs, InNSb, InPAs, InPSb, and a mixture thereof; a quaternary semiconductor compound selected from GaAlNP, GaAlNAs, GaAlNSb, GaAlPAs, GaAlPSb, GaInNP, GaInNAs, GaInNSb, GaInPAs, GaInPSb, InAlNP, InAlNAs, InAlNSb, InAlPAs, InAlPSb, and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. The Group III-V semiconductor compound may further include a Group II element. The Group III-V semiconductor compound further including a Group II element may include, for example, InZnP, InGaZnP, InAlZnP, or a combination thereof. 
     The Group III-VI semiconductor compound may include, for example, a binary semiconductor compound selected from GaS, GaSe, Ga 2 Se 3 , GaTe, InS, InSe, In 2 Se 3 , InTe, and a mixture thereof; a ternary semiconductor compound selected from InGaS 3 , InGaSe 3 , and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof. 
     The Group IV-VI semiconductor compound may include, for example, a binary semiconductor compound selected from SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, PbTe, and a mixture thereof; a ternary semiconductor compound selected from SnSeS, SnSeTe, SnSTe, PbSeS, PbSeTe, PbSTe, SnPbS, SnPbSe, SnPbTe, and a mixture thereof; a quaternary semiconductor compound selected from SnPbSSe, SnPbSeTe, SnPbSTe, and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     The Group IV element or semiconductor compound may include, for example, a single element semiconductor selected from Si, Ge, and a mixture thereof; a binary semiconductor compound selected from SiC, SiGe, and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     The Group I-III-VI semiconductor compound may be, for example, AgInS, AgInS 2 , CuInS, CuInS 2 , CuInSe 2 , CuInGaSe, CuInGaS, CuGaO 2 , AgGaO 2 , AgAlO 2 , or a mixture thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     The Group I-II-IV-VI semiconductor compound may be, for example, CuZnSnSe, CuZnSnS, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     The Group II-III-V semiconductor compound may include, for example, InZnP, but is not limited thereto. 
     The quantum dot may include a binary semiconductor compound, a ternary semiconductor compound, or a quaternary semiconductor compound in a substantially uniform concentration, or may include it in a state in which the concentration distribution is partially different. 
     For example, the quantum dot may be a semiconductor compound including at least one of indium (In) and zinc (Zn), and phosphorus (P), for example, an In—P semiconductor compound, and/or an In—Zn—P semiconductor compound. For example, the quantum dot may be a semiconductor compound including zinc (Zn), and at least one of tellurium (Te) and selenium (Se), for example, a Zn—Te semiconductor compound, a Zn—Se semiconductor compound, and/or a Zn—Te—Se semiconductor compound. 
     The quantum dot may have a single structure in which the concentration of each element included in the quantum dot is uniform, or may have a core-shell structure. The shell of the quantum dot may be, for example, a protective layer for preventing chemical modification of the quantum dot core, or a charging layer for imparting electrophoretic properties to the quantum dot. 
     The shell of the quantum dot may include, for example, a metal or non-metal oxide, a semiconductor compound, or a combination thereof. Examples of metal or non-metal oxides may include a binary compound selected from SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , ZnO, MnO, Mn 2 O 3 , Mn 3 O 4 , CuO, FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , CoO, Co 3 O 4 , NiO, and a mixture thereof; a ternary compound selected from MgAl 2 O 4 , CoFe 2 O 4 , NiFe 2 O 4 , CoMn 2 O 4 , and a mixture thereof; or a combination thereof. Examples of the semiconductor compound may include the aforementioned Group II-VI semiconductor compound, Group III-V semiconductor compound, Group III-VI semiconductor compound, Group IV-VI semiconductor compound, Group IV element or semiconductor compound, Group I-III-VI semiconductor compound, Group I-II-IV-VI semiconductor compound, Group II-III-V semiconductor compound, or a combination thereof, for example, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnSeS, ZnTeS, GaAs, GaP, GaSb, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, InAs, InP, InGaP, InSb, AlAs, AlP, AlSb, or a combination thereof. 
     For example, the interface between the core and the shell of the quantum dot may have a concentration gradient in which a concentration of the element in the shell decreases toward the center. For example, the material composition constituting the shell of the quantum dot may have a higher energy bandgap than the material composition constituting the core of the quantum dot, and thus the quantum dot may have a quantum confinement effect. The quantum dot may include one quantum dot core and a multi-layered quantum dot shell surrounding it. In this case, the multi-layered shell may have two or more layers, and each layer may independently have a single composition, an alloy, and/or concentration gradient. For example, among the multi-layered shells, a shell farther from the core may have a higher energy bandgap than a shell close to the core, and thus the quantum dot may have a quantum confinement effect. 
     For example, the quantum dot may include a cadmium-free quantum dot (Cd-free quantum dot). The cadmium-free quantum dot is a quantum dot that does not contain cadmium (Cd). Since cadmium (Cd) may cause serious environmental/health problems and is a regulated element under the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) in many countries, the quantum dot may be effectively used. 
     The quantum dot may have an organic ligand bound to its surface. The organic ligand may have a hydrophobic moiety. The organic ligand may include RCOOH, RNH 2 , R 2 NH, R 3 N, RSH, R 3 PO, R 3 P, ROH, RCOOR′, RPO(OH) 2 , R 2 POOH (where, R and R′ are independently hydrogen, a C1 to C30 substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon group, for example a C1 to C30 alkyl group, a C2 to C30 alkenyl group, or a C6 to C30 aromatic hydrocarbon group, for example a C6 to C20 aryl group, provided that at least one is not hydrogen), or a combination thereof. 
     Specific examples of the organic ligand may include thiol compounds such as methane thiol, ethane thiol, propane thiol, butane thiol, pentane thiol, hexane thiol, octane thiol, dodecane thiol, hexadecane thiol, octadecane thiol, benzyl thiol, or the like; amines such as methane amine, ethane amine, propane amine, butane amine, pentyl amine, hexyl amine, octyl amine, nonylamine, decylamine, dodecyl amine, hexadecyl amine, octadecyl amine, dimethyl amine, diethyl amine, dipropyl amine, tributylamine, trioctylamine, or the like; carboxylic acid compounds such as methanoic acid, ethanoic acid, propanoic acid, butanoic acid, pentanoic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, oleic acid, benzoic acid, or the like; phosphine compounds such as methyl phosphine, ethyl phosphine, propyl phosphine, butyl phosphine, pentyl phosphine, octylphosphine, dioctyl phosphine, tributylphosphine, trioctylphosphine, or the like; phosphine compounds or oxide compounds thereof such as methyl phosphine oxide, ethyl phosphine oxide, propyl phosphine oxide, butyl phosphine oxide pentyl phosphineoxide, tributylphosphineoxide, octylphosphine oxide, dioctyl phosphineoxide, and trioctylphosphineoxide; diphenyl phosphine, triphenyl phosphine compounds or oxide compounds thereof; (mono- or di) C5 to C20 alkylphosphinic acid such as (mono- or di) hexylphosphinic acid, (mono- or di) octylphosphinic acid, (mono- or di) dodecanephosphinic acid, (mono- or di) tetradecanephosphinic acid, (mono- or di) hexadecanephosphinic acid, and (mono- or di) octadecanephosphinic acid, C5 to C20 alkyl phosphonic acid such as hexylphosphonic acid, octylphosphonic acid, dodecanephosphonic acid, tetradecanephosphonic acid, hexadecanephosphonic acid, and octadecanephosphonic acid, but are not limited thereto. The organic ligand may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. 
     Each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may further include a phosphor (not shown). Examples of the phosphor may include, for example, (Ca, Sr, Ba)S, (Ca, Sr, Ba) 2 Si 5 N 8 , CaAlSiN 3 , CaMoO 4 , or Eu 2 Si 5 N 8  as a red phosphor, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), (Ca, Sr, Ba) 2 SiO 4 , SrGa 2 S 4 , barium magnesium aluminate (BAM), alpha SiAlON(α-SiAlON), beta SiAlON (β-SiAlON), Ca 3 Sc 2 Si 3 O 12 , Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 , BaSiO 4 , CaAlSiON, or (Sr 1-x Ba x )Si 2 O 2 N 2  (wherein x may be any number between 0 and 1) as a green phosphor, but are not limited thereto. 
     Each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may emit light of a wavelength spectrum of a color displayed by the corresponding one of the subpixels PX 1 , PX 2 , and PX 3 , and accordingly, the quantum dots  121 R and  121 G included in the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G, respectively, may be different from each other. 
     For example, the quantum dots  121 R included in the color conversion layer  30 R may convert the light emitted from the light emitting element  20   a  into light having a first emission spectrum that is the same as the wavelength spectrum of the color displayed in the first subpixel Pk. The first emission spectrum may be different from the emission spectrum of the light emitted from the light emitting element  20   a , and may be a longer wavelength spectrum. Accordingly, the display panel according to an embodiment may include a first color conversion layer  30 R including quantum dots  121 R that convert an emission spectrum of light emitted from the light emitting element  20   a  among a plurality of color conversion layers into the first emission spectrum. 
     In addition, for example, the quantum dots  121 G included in the color conversion layer  30 G may convert the light emitted from the light emitting element  20   b  into light having a second emission spectrum that is the same as the wavelength spectrum of the color displayed in the second subpixel PX 2 . The second emission spectrum may be different from the first emission spectrum and the emission spectrum of the light emitted from the light emitting element  20   b , and may be a wavelength spectrum longer than the emission spectra of light emitted from the light emitting element  20   b  and shorter than the first emission spectrum. Accordingly, the display panel according to an embodiment may include a second color conversion layer  30 G including quantum dots  121 G that convert an emission spectrum of light emitted from the light emitting element  20   b  among a plurality of color conversion layers into a second emission spectrum. 
     For example, each of the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  may emit light having a blue emission spectrum, and when the first subpixel PX 1 , second subpixel PX 2 , and third subpixel PX 3  display red, green, and blue colors, respectively, the first color conversion layer  30 R of the first subpixel PX 1  may include red light emitting quantum dots  121 R that convert light of a blue emission spectrum into light of a red emission spectrum, and the second color conversion layer  30 G of the second subpixel PX 2  may include green light emitting quantum dots  121 G that convert light of a blue emission spectrum into light of a green emission spectrum. Since the blue color displayed in the third subpixel PX 3  may be displayed by the light of the blue emission spectrum emitted from the light emitting element  20   c , the third color conversion layer  30 B of the third subpixel PX 3  may not include a color converter, for example, quantum dots. In this case, the third color conversion layer  30 B may also be referred to as a “light transmission layer”. However, in another embodiment, the third color conversion layer  30 B may further include a color converter such as quantum dots for emitting light of a blue emission spectrum, or a pigment or dye. In this case, the third color conversion layer  30 B including the quantum dot, pigment, or dye may reduce external light reflection and provide blue light with improved color purity. 
     At least one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may further include a scatterer (not shown). When each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B includes a scatterer, a content of the scatterer may be different. The scatterer may scatter and/or reflect light in multiple directions irrespective of the angle of incidence without substantially changing the wavelength of light emitted from the quantum dots and/or light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , and thus the amount of light that is converted or passed through the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may increase, and front luminance and side luminance of the color conversion layers may be uniformly provided. 
     The scatterer may be a low refractive index nanoparticle, for example, a metal or a semi-metal oxide such as silicon oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, indium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, or a combination thereof; an organic material such as an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, or a combination thereof; or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. 
     In an embodiment, the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G may include quantum dots  121 R and  121 G dispersed in a polymer matrix. The polymer matrix may include a light transmitting resin. The light transmitting resin may be a dispersion medium for dispersing quantum dots and/or scattering particles, for example, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, a silicone resin, an epoxy resin, a cardo-based resin, an imide resin, a derivative thereof, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. The light transmitting resin may be prepared from a photosensitive resin composition including a photopolymerizable monomer, a polymer including a photosensitive functional group, or a combination thereof. 
     The photosensitive resin composition may further include a photo initiator that helps the photopolymerizable monomer, polymer, or a combination thereof to undergo a polymerization reaction by exposure to light. In an embodiment, the photo initiator may be a photo initiator that reacts at a central wavelength of light emitted by the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c . Accordingly, as will be described later, when fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment, the photosensitive resin composition including the photo initiator may have a better photopolymerization reaction by the light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c . The photosensitive resin composition may further include a solvent. 
     The absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B are disposed directly on the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B to be overlapped therewith, respectively. By further including the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B on the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, color purity of the light emitted from the display panels  1000  and  100  including the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B according to the embodiment may further increase. 
     Referring again to  FIG.  2   , each of the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B is overlapped with the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and directly disposed on the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. Referring to  FIGS.  1  and  2    together, in the display panels  1000  and  100  according to embodiments, each of the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B is formed along the surface shape of the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B by being directly disposed on the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. As described above, in the display panels  1000  and  100  according to the embodiments, the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B are formed directly on the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, respectively, without an additional layer such as a planarization layer therebetween. 
     The absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B are disposed in a direction in which light passing through the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B is emitted. Each of the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B may selectively transmit light of the same wavelength spectrum as the color displayed by the corresponding one of the subpixels PX 1 , PX 2 , and PX 3 , and may selectively transmit the light of the emission spectrum of the light obtained by converting the emission spectrum of the light emitted from the corresponding one of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  by the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. 
     For example, when the first subpixel PX 1 , the second subpixel PX 2 , and the third subpixel PX 3  display red, green, and blue colors, respectively, and light of a red emission spectrum, a green emission spectrum, and a blue emission spectrum is emitted from the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G, and the light transmission layer  30 B, respectively, the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R overlapped with the first color conversion layer  30 R may be a red filter layer, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G overlapped with the second color conversion layer  30 G may be a green filter layer, and the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B overlapped with the light transmission layer  30 B may be a blue filter layer. The first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G, and the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B respectively may include a pigment or dye that selectively transmits light in the red wavelength spectrum, the green wavelength spectrum, or the blue wavelength spectrum, and absorbs and/or reflects light of the rest of the wavelength spectrum. 
     The absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B may more precisely filter and emit light emitted from the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, thereby increasing the color purity of the light. For example, the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R overlapped with the first color conversion layer  30 R blocks light that is not converted into red light by the first quantum dots  121 R in the first color conversion layer  30 R, but is transmitted as it is and thereby increasing the color purity of light in the red emission spectrum. For example, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G overlapped with the second color conversion layer  30 G blocks light that is not converted into green light by the second quantum dots  121 G in the second color conversion layer  30 G, and is transmitted as it is, thereby increasing the color purity of light in the green emission spectrum. For example, the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B overlapped with the light transmission layer  30 B blocks light other than light in the blue emission spectrum, thereby increasing the color purity of light in the blue emission spectrum. In an embodiment, at least some of the first, second, and third absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B may be omitted, and for example, the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B overlapped with the light transmission layer  30 B may be omitted. 
     In general, a display device such as a display including a self-emission type color conversion layer such as a quantum dot or the like is manufactured by stacking an absorption-type color filter layer with a quantum dot color conversion layer in order to secure high color purity due to limitation of an absorption rate of the quantum dots. Herein, the display is manufactured by sequentially stacking a color-separating partition wall or a light blocking layer, the absorption-type color filter layer, and the quantum dot color conversion layer on an upper glass substrate due to issues such as film uniformity, processability, or the like, and then, bonding the upper glass substrate with a lower glass substrate having a light emitting element by using an optical clear adhesive (“OCA”) film or the like. In addition, in the process of manufacturing the upper glass substrate including the absorption-type color filter layer and the color conversion layer, about 6 or more photo-etching processes on average are required to form each layer including an aligner and a photomask. Such a complicated process may affect a unit price of the display, increase a thickness and a weight of the display, and also, crack or peel off an adhesive layer between upper glass substrate and lower glass substrate due to heat generated during the operation. 
     The present inventors have proposed, as an innovative method to improve the aforementioned problems in the prior art (Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0164051), a method of fabricating a display panel including no separate adhesive layer between the light emitting element and the color conversion layer including a quantum dot in a bottom exposure method using light from the light emitting element itself constituting the display panel rather than an upper exposure method of using a conventional external light source, and a display panel having the color conversion layer including a quantum dot directly on the light emitting element fabricated in this method 
     In such a display panel, each color conversion layer including a quantum dot is overlapped with each light emitting element and present directly on the light emitting element, as equally in the display panel according to the aforementioned embodiment. However, even in the display panel, the absorption-type color filter layer is difficult to form directly on the color conversion layer including a quantum dot and to directly contact the color conversion layer without including an additional layer such as a planarization layer or the like between the color conversion layer including a quantum dot and the absorption-type color filter layer. The reason is that when the color conversion layer including quantum dots is formed on the light emitting element, the color conversion layer may hardly be formed to have a structurally flat upper surface through development and thermal processes after the exposure, and accordingly, the absorption-type color filter layer, which is relatively thin, for example, about 3 micrometer thick, compared with the color conversion layer including quantum dots, is difficult to uniformly form on the color conversion layer with a non-uniform surface. Accordingly, even in the display panel according to a prior art belonging to the inventors, before forming the absorption-type color filter layer on the color conversion layer including quantum dots, an overcoat layer is first coated for planarization (refer to  FIG.  6   ). Specifically, as shown in  FIG.  6   , an additional layer such as an adhesive layer or a planarization layer is not present between the quantum dot color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , but the overcoat layer  50  is present between the quantum dot color conversion layer  30 R,  30 B, and  30 G and the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B. When the absorption-type color filter layer is formed in a photolithography method with upper exposure by using a photomask without this overcoat layer  50 , the absorption-type color filter layer may have no uniform thickness and various luminance in each pixel, which may cause a severe problem in driving the display device. 
     However, as shown in  FIG.  2   , in the display panel according to an embodiment, there is no additional layers between the group of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B including quantum dots and the group of the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B. The display panel according to the embodiment does not include an adhesive layer for bonding the lower glass substrate including the light emitting element to the upper glass substrate including the self-emission type color conversion layer and the absorption-type color filter layer in the conventional display panel, and also does not include any additional layer between the color conversion layer including quantum dots and the absorption-type color filter layer. Accordingly, the display panel according to the embodiment becomes thinner and lighter than the conventional display panel, and because it does not include the aforementioned overcoat layer or planarization layer, loss of light passing therethrough is reduced, and thus light efficiency is also improved. In addition, the display panel has a simple fabricating process, as will be described later, and accordingly, fabricating time and cost may be significantly reduced. A method of fabricating the display panel according to the embodiment will be described in more detail below. 
     The absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B may include a pigment, a dye, or a combination thereof for manufacturing the absorption-type color filter, and in an embodiment, the pigment, the dye, or a combination thereof may be included in a dispersed form in the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix may include the same light transmitting resin as the light transmitting resin included in the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. That is, the absorption-type color filter layer may also be manufactured from the photosensitive resin composition. The photosensitive resin composition may include a photopolymerizable monomer, a polymer, or a combination thereof, a photo initiator, and/or a solvent which are similar to the photosensitive resin composition for manufacturing the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and may further include a pigment, a dye, or a combination thereof that may be used for manufacturing the absorption-type color filter layers. The pigment and dye included in the absorption-type color filter layer may be known pigments and dyes. As described above, the photo initiator may be a photo initiator that reacts at a central wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c . Accordingly, as will be described later, when fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment, the photosensitive resin composition including the photo initiator may more easily undergo a photopolymerization reaction by the light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c.    
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , partition walls  110  are disposed between the plurality of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. The partition walls  110  may have a grid shape extending along the x-direction and the y-direction of the display panels  1000  and  100 . Specifically, the partition walls  110  are disposed between the first color conversion layer  30 R and the second color conversion layer  30 G, between the second color conversion layer  30 G and the light transmission layer  30 B, and between the light transmission layer  30 B and the first color conversion layer  30 R. In addition, the partition walls  110  may also be disposed between two adjacent first color conversion layers  30 R, between two adjacent second color conversion layers  30 G, and between two adjacent light transmission layers  30 B. That is, the partition walls  110  partition each of the plurality of color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, and serve to prevent color mixing of light emitted from the adjacent color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. The partition walls  110  may be in direct contact with the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, and a separate layer may not be disposed between the partition walls  110  and each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. 
     Since the quantum dots may emit light in all directions due to isotropic light emission characteristics, the light emitted from the quantum dots  121 R and  121 G in each of the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G may be spread in all directions. Accordingly, the partition wall  110  present between the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may not absorb light emitted from the quantum dots  121 R and  121 G in the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G, but scatter and/or reflect the light into each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B to guide the light emitted from the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B toward the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B each directly present on the corresponding one of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. Due to this role of the partition wall  110 , the display panel according to an embodiment has no loss of the light emitted from each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B but emit the light toward each of the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B present thereon. Accordingly, light efficiency and color purity of the display panel according to an embodiment may be improved. Likewise, light emitted from each of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  also may not be absorbed in the partition wall  110  but scattered and/or reflected by the partition wall  110  and guided toward the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B directly present on the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , thereby improving light efficiency of the display panel according to an embodiment. 
     In  FIG.  2   , the partition wall  110  having an equal width is illustrated as an example, but not limited thereto, and a cross-section thereof may have various sizes and shapes. For example, the partition wall  110  may have a trapezoid cross-section, for example, a trapezoid cross-section in which the upper surface has a longer length than the lower surface. Herein, the partition wall  110  may be more advantageous to prevent color mixing among the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. 
     Hereinafter, a method of fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment will be described. 
     As described above, the present inventors disclosed a display panel having a color conversion layer including a quantum dot disposed directly on a light emitting element fabricated by the bottom exposure method using light from the light emitting element that constitutes the display panel, rather than an upper exposure method of fabricating a display panel, in Korean Patent Application 10-2018-0164051. The present inventors have solved the problem of requiring a planarization layer or the like between color conversion layer and absorption-type color filter layer to form the absorption-type color filter layer on the color conversion layer including a quantum dot in the display panel and developed a method of forming the absorption-type color filter layer directly on the color conversion layer to directly contact the color conversion layer without an additional layer or the like such as the planarization layer or the like between color conversion layer and absorption-type color filter layer. 
     Specifically, a method of fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment includes preparing a substrate including a plurality of light emitting elements including a semiconductor light emitting chip, and a first color conversion layer including a first quantum dot disposed on at least one of the plurality of light emitting elements, forming a first photosensitive resin layer including a pigment, a dye, or a combination thereof on the substrate on which the first color conversion layer is formed, and driving the light emitting element on which the first color conversion layer is formed to form a first absorption-type color filter layer in which the first photosensitive resin layer is cured on the first color conversion layer. 
     In other words, the method of fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment includes forming a photosensitive resin layer for forming an absorption-type color filter layer on a color conversion layer including a quantum dot and directly disposed on a light emitting element, and exposing the photosensitive resin layer for the absorption-type color filter layer to light not converted but leaked by the color conversion layer out of light emitted from the light emitting element, while passing the color conversion layer including the quantum dot, to cure the photosensitive resin layer. 
     For example, when the light emitting element emits light of a blue emission spectrum, and the color conversion layer includes a quantum dot that converts the blue light emitted from the light emitting element into light with a longer wavelength, for example, light of a red emission spectrum, most of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element is converted into red light in the color conversion layer, but not 100% of the light emitted from the light emitting element is converted into the light of a red emission spectrum due to limitation of the absorption rate of the color conversion layer including the quantum dot. For example, a color conversion layer including a red light-emitting quantum dot converts the light of a blue emission spectrum into red light at a conversion rate of about 90% to about 95%, and transmits and thus leaks about 5% to about 10% of the light of a blue emission spectrum. In addition, for example, a color conversion layer including a green light emitting quantum dot converts about 85% to about 90% of the light of a blue emission spectrum into green light, and transmits and thus leaks the remaining about 10% to about 15% of the light of a blue emission spectrum. 
     The present inventors have paid attention to a fact that when the light emitted from the light emitting element, for example, the light of a blue emission spectrum, passes the color conversion layer, for example, the color conversion layer including a red light emitting quantum dot, or the color conversion layer including a green light emitting quantum dot, at least about 5% to about 15% of the light of the blue emission spectrum is not converted into light of a red or green emission spectrum, but leaked, and discovered that each absorption-type color filter layer formed on each color conversion layer may be formed by exposing a photosensitive resin layer to the light leaked through each color conversion layer to cure it. According to the present invention, the absorption-type color filter layer may be formed on each color conversion layer without forming any additional layer or requiring surface uniformity of each color conversion layer. The reason is that the absorption-type color filter layer formed on each color conversion layer has a thickness automatically determined up to a point where the blue light passing and leaking from the color conversion layer reaches about 0%. Accordingly, a display panel including the absorption-type color filter layer has an effect of automatically adjusting transmittance of the blue light for a corresponding pixel to about 0%, when fabricated into a display device or the like. Furthermore, including no planarization layer between the color conversion layer and the absorption-type color filter layer may prevent color mixing therethrough, thereby improving light efficiency and color purity. 
     Hereinafter, a method of fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 
     First, referring to  FIGS.  7 A to  8 C , a method of forming a color conversion layer including a quantum dot on a light emitting element is illustrated. However, this corresponds to an example of the method according to the prior patent application of the present inventors, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, as any method known to those skilled in the art, all methods of using a substrate in which a color conversion layer including a quantum dot is formed directly on a light emitting element and forming an absorption-type color filter layer along a surface shape of the color conversion layer are included in the method of fabricating a display panel according to an embodiment. 
     In  FIGS.  7 A to  100   , for convenience, a structure of the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , and a structure of a thin film transistor, etc. are not shown in detail and omitted, and only a mark indicating an electrical connection is briefly shown. 
     First, referring to  FIGS.  7 A to  8 C , after forming a first photosensitive resin layer PR 1  including a first quantum dot  121 R on the partition walls  110  partitioning color conversion layers and on the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , the light emitting element  20   a  is driven to expose a portion of the first photosensitive resin layer PR 1  disposed between two partition walls  110  adjacent to the light emitting element  20   a  to the light La to cure the portion of the first photosensitive resin layer PR 1  (refer to  FIG.  7 A ), and then the uncured portion of the photosensitive resin layer PR 1  is removed by using a developing solution, such that a first color conversion layer  30 R is formed on the light emitting element  20   a  (refer to  FIG.  7 B ). Subsequently, on the first color conversion layer  30 R, the partition walls  110 , and the light emitting elements  20   b , and  20   c , a second photosensitive resin layer PR 2  including a second quantum dot  121 G is formed, and then the light emitting element  20   b  is driven to expose a portion of the second photosensitive resin layer PR 2  disposed between two partition walls  110  adjacent to the light emitting element  20   b  to the light Lb to cure the portion of the second photosensitive resin layer PR 2  (refer to  FIG.  7 C ). Subsequently, the uncured portion of the photosensitive resin layer PR 2  is removed by using a developing solution, such that a second color conversion layer  30 G is formed on the light emitting element  20   b  (refer to  FIG.  8 A ). In addition, on the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G, the partition walls  110 , and the light emitting element  20   c , a third photosensitive resin layer PR 3  including no quantum dot is formed, and the light emitting element  20   c  is driven to expose a portion of the third photosensitive resin layer PR 3  disposed between two partition walls  110  adjacent to the light emitting element  20   c  to the light Lc to cure the portion of the third photosensitive resin layer PR 3  (refer to  FIG.  8 B ). The uncured portion of the third photosensitive resin layer PR 3  is removed by using a developing solution, and a light transmission layer  30 B is formed on the light emitting element  20   c  (refer to  FIG.  8 C ). 
     Accordingly, as an example, the substrate  10  on which the first color conversion layer  30 R including the first quantum dot  121 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G including the second quantum dot  121 G, and the light transmission layer  30 B including no quantum dot are formed on the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , respectively, is obtained. 
     In  FIGS.  7 A to  8 C , a case that the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G, and the light transmission layer  30 B are formed in this order is illustrated. However, the invention is not limited to this order. Any order of forming the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G, and the light transmission layer  30 B is possible. 
     Subsequently, on the substrate  10  on which the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second color conversion layer  30 G, and the light transmission layer  30 B are formed, the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G, and the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B are formed according to an embodiment. This is illustrated referring to  FIGS.  9 A to  10 C . 
     Referring to  FIGS.  9 A to  9 C , on the first color conversion layer  30 R including the first quantum dot  121 R, second color conversion layer  30 G including the second quantum dot  121 G, and light transmission layer  30 B including no quantum dot, which are formed on the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , respectively, a fourth photosensitive resin layer PR 4  for forming a third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B is formed, and then the light emitting element  20   c  on which the light transmission layer  30 B is formed is driven (refer to  FIG.  9 A ). Accordingly, the light Lc emitted from the light emitting element  20   c , for example, blue light, passes the light transmission layer  30 B and reaches a point at which the fourth photosensitive resin layer PR 4  is formed, and thus a portion of the fourth photosensitive resin layer PR 4  corresponding to the light transmission layer  30 B is exposed thereto. Subsequently, the portion of the fourth photosensitive resin layer PR 4  is cured, and the uncured portion of the fourth photosensitive resin layer PR 4  is removed by using a developing solution, such that the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B is formed on the light transmission layer  30 B (refer to  FIG.  9 B ). Subsequently, on the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B, the partition walls  110 , the first color conversion layer  30 R, and the second color conversion layer  30 G, a fifth photosensitive resin layer PR 5  for forming a second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G is formed, and as shown in  FIG.  9 C , the light emitting element  20   b  on which the second color conversion layer  30 G is formed is driven to emit blue light. Accordingly, a portion of the fifth photosensitive resin layer PR 5  corresponding to the second color conversion layer  30 G is exposed to the blue light not converted into green light but leaked through the second color conversion layer  30 G, and then, the uncured portion of the fifth photosensitive resin layer PR 5  is removed. Therefore, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G is formed on the second color conversion layer  30 G (refer to FIG.  10 A). Subsequently, on the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G, the partition walls  110  and the first color conversion layer  30 R, a sixth photosensitive resin layer PR 6  for forming a first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R is formed, and subsequently, the light emitting element  20   a  on which the first color conversion layer  30 R is formed is driven to emit blue light (refer to  FIG.  10 B ). Accordingly, a portion of the sixth photosensitive resin layer PR 6  corresponding to the first color conversion layer  30 R is exposed to the blue light not converted into red light but leaked through the first color conversion layer  30 R, and then, cured, and the other uncured portion of the sixth photosensitive resin layer PR 6  is removed by using a developing solution. Therefore, the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R is formed on the first color conversion layer  30 R (refer to  FIG.  100   ). 
     In  FIGS.  9 A to  10 C , a case that the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G, and the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R are formed in this order is illustrated. However, the invention is not limited to this order. Any order of forming the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G, and the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B is possible. 
     When performed as described above, a display panel including the first absorption-type color filter layer  40 R directly formed on the first color conversion layer  30 R, the second absorption-type color filter layer  40 G directly formed on the second color conversion layer  30 G, and the third absorption-type color filter layer  40 B directly formed on the light transmission layer  30 B, which are disposed on the substrate  10  on which the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  and first color conversion layer  30 R including the first quantum dot  121 R, second color conversion layer  30 G including the second quantum dot  121 G, and light transmission layer  30 B including no quantum dot are disposed, may be obtained. 
     As described above, in the display panel  100  according to an embodiment, the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B disposed directly on the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, respectively, are fabricated by being exposed to a total amount of light emitted from the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  respectively, present therebelow, and thus, the color conversion layers and the absorption-type color filter layer formed on the light emitting elements, respectively, may have different thicknesses according to an amount of light and a luminance difference of each light emitting element. On the contrary, in a conventional display panel including a self-emission type color conversion layer and an absorption-type color filter layer, the self-emission type color conversion layers and the absorption-type color filter layers have the same thicknesses with each other as by being fabricated without considering an amount of light emitted from each light emitting element and a luminance difference thereof. Accordingly, the display panel may have an effect of automatically adjusting a light amount and/or a luminance difference of each light emitting element. 
     As described above, the display panel according to an embodiment may be easily fabricated by sequentially applying each photosensitive resin composition for forming the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and/or the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B on the substrate  10  in which the plurality of light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  are formed, and selectively driving only a light emitting element in a region for forming each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and/or absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B to emit light to easily expose the desired region thereto, cure it, and to easily form each of the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B. 
     The exposure by the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  and polymerization of each photosensitive resin composition according thereto may occur in a region where light emitted from each light emitting element reaches, and on the driven light emitting element, the photosensitive resin composition may be cured. Accordingly, even though a photosensitive resin composition for forming a specific color conversion layer or a specific absorption-type color filter layer is applied to the entire substrate, only a light emitting element present in a specific subpixel region may be driven to emit light, so that the specific color conversion layer or the specific absorption-type color filter layer may be formed in the specific subpixel region. Subsequently, the uncured photosensitive resin composition for forming the specific color conversion layer or the specific absorption-type color filter layer in the subpixel region is removed through the development process. Therefore, a pattern of the specific color conversion layer or the specific absorption-type color filter layer is formed only in the specific subpixel region. This process of forming the color conversion layer and the absorption-type color filter layer is repeated as many times as the number of types of color conversion layers having different emission spectra, and each specific color conversion layer and each absorption-type color filter layer formed directly thereon are easily formed in all subpixel area of the display panel according to an embodiment. 
     On the other hand, in order to selectively drive light emitting elements as described above, light emitting elements present in a subpixel including the same color conversion layer may be electrically connected to each other. Accordingly, the light emitting elements may be simultaneously driven to form the same color conversion layer. 
     The aforementioned photosensitive resin compositions for the color conversion layers  30 R and  30 G, the light transmission layer  30 G and the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B may be negative type photosensitive resin compositions polymerized and cured by light emitted by the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c , for example, blue light having a central wavelength of about 430 nanometers to about 470 nanometers. 
     As described above, the method of fabricating the display panel according to an embodiment by driving the light emitting elements  20   a ,  20   b , and  20   c  on the substrate  10  to expose and cure the photosensitive resin compositions without a separate exposure mask may easily form the color conversion layers  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B and the absorption-type color filter layers  40 R,  40 G, and  40 B and also, a pattern with a very narrow width. Accordingly, the display panel according to an embodiment may be advantageously applied to a display device employing each of very small light emitting elements such as micro light emitting diodes, nano light emitting diodes, or the like in each pixel to achieve high luminance and high color purity. 
     The display panel as described above may be applied to various electronic devices, and in particular, may be advantageously used in various display devices requiring miniaturization, weight reduction, and high resolution. Applicable display devices may include display devices in various fields such as televisions, monitors, mobile devices, watches, augmented reality (“VR”)/virtual reality (“AR”) applied game machines, signboards, and lighting, but are not limited thereto.
