Abstract

The present invention provides a display device including: a pair of substrates in which a plurality of pixels are disposed in a matrix form as a whole, the pixels being configured with pixels corresponding to R (red), G (green), or B (blue), and the pixels corresponding to the R, G, or B having size different from each other; a self-luminous photo-emission element formed in a region corresponding to each of the pixels, on one of the pair of substrates; and a black matrix layer formed in a region corresponding to among the pixels, on the other of the pair of substrates. Formula (1) and formula (2) are satisfied, or formula (1) and formula (3) are satisfied.

Claims (24)

1. A display device comprising:

a pair of substrates in which a plurality of pixels are disposed in a matrix form as a whole, the pixels being configured with pixels corresponding to R (red), G (green), or B (blue), and the pixels corresponding to the R, G, or B having size different from each other;

a self-luminous photo-emission element formed in a region corresponding to each of the pixels, on one of the pair of substrates; and

a black matrix layer formed in a region corresponding to between the pixels, on the other of the pair of substrates, wherein

formula (1) and formula (2) below are satisfied, or formula (1) and formula (3) below are satisfied: 2√3≦(|W BM −W LD |/D) . . . (1), 0.95≦(relative difference of values (W LD /D) among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B)≦1.05 (when W LD <W BM ) . . . (2), and 0.95≦(relative difference of values (W BM /D) among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B)≦1.05 (when W LD ≧W BM ) . . . (3), where W BM is an opening dimension in the black matrix layer, W LD is a photo-emission region dimension in the photo-emission element, and D is an air length between the photo-emission element and the black matrix layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the formula (2) or the formula (3) are satisfied in a dimension of a horizontal direction in the opening dimension W BM in the black matrix layer, and the photo-emission region dimension W LD in the photo-emission element.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B, values W LD are equal to each other in the formula (2) or the formula (3), or values W BM are equal to each other in the formula (2) or the formula (3).

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the photo-emission element is made of an organic EL element, and the display device is configured as an organic EL display device.

5. A display device comprising:

a pair of substrates in which a plurality of pixels are disposed in a matrix form as a whole, the pixels being configured with pixels corresponding to R (red), G (green), or B (blue), and the pixels corresponding to the R, G, or B having size different from each other;

a self-luminous photo-emission element formed in a region corresponding to each of the pixels, on one of the pair of substrates; and

a black matrix layer formed in a region corresponding to between the pixels, on the other of the pair of substrates, wherein

formula (4) to formula (7) below are satisfied: 2√3>(|W BM −W LD |/D) . . . (4), W LD <W BM . . . (5), (√3/2)×W BM ≧D≧(1/2√3)×(W BM −W LD ) . . . (6), and 0.95≦(relative difference of values (W LD /D) among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B)≦1.05 . . . (7), where W BM is an opening dimension in the black matrix layer, W LD is a photo-emission region dimension in the photo-emission element, and D is an air length between the photo-emission element and the black matrix layer.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the formula (7) is satisfied in a dimension of a horizontal direction in the opening dimension W BM in the black matrix layer, and the photo-emission region dimension W LD in the photo-emission element.

7. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B, values W LD are equal to each other in the formula (7).

8. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the photo-emission element is made of an organic EL element, and the display device is configured as an organic EL display device.

9. A display device comprising:

a pair of substrates in which a plurality of pixels are disposed in a matrix form as a whole, the pixels being configured with pixels corresponding to R (red), G (green), or B (blue), and the pixels corresponding to the R, G, or B having size different from each other;

a self-luminous photo-emission element formed in a region corresponding to each of the pixels, on one of the pair of substrates; and

a black matrix layer formed in a region corresponding to between the pixels, on the other of the pair of substrates, wherein

formula (8) to formula (11) below are satisfied: 2√3>(|W BM −W LD |/D) . . . (8), W LD ≧W BM . . . (9), (√3/2)×W LD ≧D≧(1/2√3)×(W LD −W BM ) . . . (10), and 0.95≦(relative difference of values (W BM /D) among the pixels corresponding to the R, G, and B)≦1.05 . . . (11), where W BM is an opening dimension in the black matrix layer, W LD is a photo-emission region dimension in the photo-emission element, and D is an air length between the photo-emission element and the black matrix layer.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the formula (11) is satisfied in a dimension of a horizontal direction in the opening dimension W BM in the black matrix layer, and the photo-emission region dimension W LD in the photo-emission element.

11. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein, among the pixels corresponding to R, G, and B, values W BM are equal to each other in the formula (11).

12. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the photo-emission element is made of an organic EL element, and the display device is configured as an organic EL display device.
