Abstract

A display apparatus that includes: a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on a substrate with an accumulation of, in this or inverse order, a light transmissive electrode layer, a functional layer including a light-emitting layer, and an opposing electrode layer; and a color conversion layer that is provided on a side of the light transmissive electrode layer for any of the light-emitting devices, and applies color conversion to an emitted light generated by the light-emitting layer for the light-emitting device. In the display apparatus, the light-emitting devices each have a reflective surface on a position where the light-emitting layer is sandwiched with the light transmissive electrode layer, and an optical distance between the reflective surface and the light-emitting layer varies by the light-emitting devices depending on provision of the color conversion layer.

Claims (20)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed over a substrate having, in this or inverse order, a light transmissive electrode layer, a functional region including a light-emitting layer, and an opposing electrode layer; and

a color conversion layer that is provided at a side of the light transmissive electrode layer for at least some of the light-emitting devices, wherein

the light-emitting devices each have a reflective surface at a position opposite the light transmissive electrode layer with the functional region therebetween, and

wherein an optical distance between the reflective surface and the light-emitting layer varies among the light-emitting devices depending on whether the color conversion layer is located at the light emitting device; and further, wherein

the optical distance for any of the light-emitting devices that is not provided with the color conversion layer is set to a value with which interference occurs to the emitted light generated by the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device, and

the optical distance for any of the light-emitting devices provided with the color conversion layer is set to a value with which a light of a predetermined wavelength as a result of conversion by the color conversion layer is extracted with the highest level of intensity.

2. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed over a substrate having, in this or inverse order, a light transmissive electrode layer, a functional region including a light-emitting layer, and an opposing electrode layer;and

a color conversion layer that is provided at a side of the light transmissive electrode layer for at least some of the light-emitting devices, wherein

the light-emitting devices each have a reflective surface at a position opposite the light transmissive electrode layer with the functional region therebetween, and

wherein an optical distance between the reflective surface and the light-emitting layer varies among the light-emitting devices depending on whether the color conversion layer is located at the light emitting device; and further, wherein

a transparent electrode layer having a thickness for adjusting the optical distance is provided between the reflective surface and the functional region, and

the functional region is provided as a common region for use among the light-emitting devices.

3. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed over a substrate having, in this or inverse order, a light transmissive electrode layer, a functional region including a light-emitting layer, and an opposing electrode layer; and

a color conversion layer that is provided at a side of the light transmissive electrode layer for at least some of the light-emitting devices, wherein

the light-emitting devices each have a reflective surface at a position opposite the light transmissive electrode layer with the functional region therebetween, and

wherein an optical distance between the reflective surface and the light-emitting layer varies among the light-emitting devices depending on whether the color conversion layer is located at the light emitting device; and further, wherein

an intermediate layer is provided between the opposing electrode layer and the light transmissive electrode layer for electrically connecting the functional layer.
