Abstract

A display device includes: plural sub-pixels included in a main pixel, emitting light of different colors respectively; at least three apertures arranged so as to be aligned along one direction in the sub-pixel; and an aperture defining portion defining aperture lengths so that an aperture length of an aperture other than apertures at both edge portions along the one direction is longer than an aperture length of apertures at both edge portions along the one direction in the at least three apertures.

Claims (20)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels included in a main pixel, the plurality of sub-pixels configured to emit light of different colors respectively, each of the plurality of sub-pixels having at least three apertures aligned along one direction; and

an aperture defining portion defining aperture lengths of each of the at least three apertures so that an aperture length of an aperture other than apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is longer than an aperture length of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction,

wherein,

when (i) a distance between the aperture other than the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel and an adjacent aperture is “a”, (ii) a distance between one of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel and another aperture at an end of another main pixel adjacent to the main pixel in the one direction is “b”, (iii) an aperture length of one of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is “Le”, and (iv) an aperture length of an aperture other than the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is “Ls”,

a<b, and

Le+a+b=Ls+2a are satisfied.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein aperture lengths of at least three apertures in the plurality of sub-pixels along a direction orthogonal to the one direction are equal.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device in a main casing,

wherein the display device includes,

a plurality of sub-pixels included in a main pixel, the plurality of sub-pixels configured to emit light of different colors respectively, each of the plurality of sub-pixels having at least three apertures arranged so as to be aligned along one direction; and

an aperture defining portion defining aperture lengths of each of the at least three apertures so that an aperture length of an aperture other than apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is longer than an aperture length of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction,

wherein

when (i) a distance between the aperture other than the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel and an adjacent aperture is “a”, (ii) a distance between one of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel and another aperture at an end of another main pixel adjacent to the main pixel in the one direction is “b”, (iii) an aperture length of one of the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is “Le”, and (iv) an aperture length of an aperture other than the apertures at opposite ends of the main pixel along the one direction is “Ls”,

a<b, and

Le+a+b=Ls+2a are satisfied.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein aperture lengths of at least three apertures in the plurality of sub-pixels along a direction orthogonal to the one direction are equal.
