Abstract
A display element includes a sub-pixel region including a wavelength conversion layer that converts a wavelength of excitation light, and further includes a low refractive index layer provided in a region between a wavelength conversion portion and an optical member.
Claims19
A display element comprising:
- a light source portion that emits excitation light;
- a wavelength conversion portion that converts the excitation light to light with a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the excitation light;
- an excitation light reflective layer that reflects the excitation light having penetrated through the wavelength conversion portion;
- and
- an optical member that transmits light converted by the wavelength conversion portion, in this order, wherein
- the wavelength conversion portion includes a first wavelength conversion layer that converts the excitation light to first wavelength converted light with a wavelength longer than the wavelength of the excitation light, and a second wavelength conversion layer that converts the excitation light to second wavelength converted light with a wavelength longer than the wavelength of the first wavelength converted light,
- the display element is a component of a pixel that includes a green sub-pixel region including the first wavelength conversion layer, a red sub-pixel region including the second wavelength conversion layer, and a blue sub-pixel region not including the first wavelength conversion layer or the second wavelength conversion layer,
- the display element further comprises a low refractive index layer provided in a region between the wavelength conversion portion and the optical member,
- a surface of the low refractive index layer adjacent to the wavelength conversion portion is an interface at which the low refractive index layer is in contact with a region having a higher refractive index than the low refractive index layer,
- the excitation light is blue light,
- the blue sub-pixel region has a resin portion containing light scattering particles that scatter the blue light, and
- an all-angle mean transmittance of the excitation light reflective layer for the blue light is lower than or equal to 32%.
