Abstract
A display device according to the present disclosure has a resonator structure in which a light reflector and a semi-transmissive plate are disposed at a distance that differs for each luminescent color. In this resonator structure, a light-emitting function layer including a light-emitting layer, a transparent cathode electrode, and a protective film that protects the cathode electrode are laminated in order between the light reflector and the semi-transmissive plate. In addition, the semi-transmissive plate is formed on the protective film.
Claims10
A display device comprising:
- a pixel array area including a plurality of pixels,
- at least one of the pixels comprising:
- a red subpixel, a green subpixel and a blue subpixel,
- a first light reflector for the red subpixel, a second light reflector for the green subpixel and a third light reflector for the blue subpixel arranged along a first direction;
- a semi-transmissive plate including an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface and the lower surface extending in the first direction in parallel, the lower surface being closer to the first light reflector, the second light reflector and the third light reflector, and the lower surface extending contiguously along a single straight line in the first direction over the first, second and third light reflectors;
- a light-emitting function layer including light-emitting layer portions respectively corresponding to the red subpixel, the green subpixel and the blue subpixel;
- a transparent cathode electrode extending along the first direction;
- and
- a protective film over the cathode electrode,
- wherein the light-emitting function layer, the cathode electrode, and the protective film are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, between the light reflectors and the semi-transmissive plate, at least an upper surface of the protective film extending contiguously in parallel to the single straight line and the lower surface of the semi-transmissive plate over the first, second and third light reflectors,
- the first light reflector, the second light reflector and the third light reflector are respectively arranged at three different distances from the lower surface of the semi-transmissive plate along the second direction, and
- the semi-transmissive plate is formed on the protective film.
An electronic apparatus comprising a display device,
- wherein the display device includes:
- a pixel array area including a plurality of pixels,

- a semi-transmissive plate including an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface and the lower surface extending in the first direction in parallel, the lower surface being closer to the first light reflector, the second light reflector and the third light reflector, and the lower surface extending contiguously along a single straight line in the first direction over the first, second and third light reflectors;
- a light-emitting function layer including light-emitting layer portions respectively corresponding to the red subpixel, the green subpixel and the blue subpixel;
- a transparent cathode electrode extending along the first direction;
- and
- a protective film over the cathode electrode,
- wherein the light-emitting function layer, the cathode electrode, and the protective film are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, between the light reflectors and the semi-transmissive plate, at least an upper surface of the protective film extending contiguously in parallel to the single straight line and the lower surface of the semi-transmissive plate over the first, second and third light reflectors,
- the first light reflector, the second light reflector and the third light reflector are respectively arranged at three different distances from the lower surface of the semi-transmissive plate along the second direction, and
- the semi-transmissive plate is formed on the protective film.
