Abstract

A substrate includes: a plurality of pixels arranged two-dimensionally on a common wiring substrate, and each including a plurality of types of light emitting elements that differ from one another in emission color; a plurality of light-scattering sections each provided for a corresponding one of the pixels, and each provided above the corresponding one of the pixels; and a light-shielding section provided in a gap between adjacent ones of the pixels, or provided in an opposing region that opposes the gap when viewed in a normal direction of the wiring substrate.

Claims (18)

1. A substrate, comprising:

pixels of different colors arranged two-dimensionally on a common wiring substrate, respectively including light emitting elements;

light-scattering sections respectively provided for corresponding ones of the light emitting elements, and respectively provided above the corresponding ones of the respective light emitting elements and in contact with only a portion of an upper surface of the respective light emitting elements; and

a light-shielding section provided in gaps between adjacent ones of the light emitting elements, and an upper surface of the light-shielding section being coplanar with the upper surfaces of the light scattering sections.

2. A display panel comprising:

pixels of different colors arranged two-dimensionally on a common wiring substrate, respectively including light emitting elements;

light-scattering sections respectively provided for corresponding ones of the light emitting elements, and respectively provided above the corresponding ones of the respective light emitting elements and in contact with only a portion of an upper surface of the respective light emitting elements; and

a light-shielding section provided in gaps between adjacent ones of the light emitting elements, and an upper surface of the light-shielding section being coplanar with the upper surfaces of the light scattering sections.

3. A display apparatus including a display panel, the display panel comprising:

pixels of different colors arranged two-dimensionally on a common wiring substrate, respectively including light emitting elements;

light-scattering sections respectively provided for corresponding ones of the light emitting elements, and respectively provided above the corresponding ones of the respective light emitting elements and in contact with only a portion of an upper surface of the respective light emitting elements; and

a light-shielding section provided in gaps between adjacent ones of the light emitting elements, and an upper surface of the light-shielding section being coplanar with the upper surfaces of the light scattering sections.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulating layer, the light emitting elements and the light shielding section being in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer.

5. The substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulating layer, wherein the light shielding section is positioned between and in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer and a lower surface of a black matrix layer formed on an opposing substrate.

6. The display panel according to claim 2 , further comprising an insulating layer, the light emitting elements and the light shielding section being in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer.

7. The display panel according to claim 2 , further comprising an insulating layer, wherein the light shielding section is positioned between and in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer and a lower surface of a black matrix layer formed on an opposing substrate.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising an insulating layer, the light emitting elements and the light shielding section being in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising an insulating layer, wherein the light shielding section is positioned between and in contact with an upper surface of the insulating layer and a lower surface of a black matrix layer formed on an opposing substrate.
