Abstract

A display apparatus includes (A) a first substrate where a plurality of light emitting elements, which are formed by laminating a first electrode, a light emitting section which is configured by an organic layer provided with a light emitting layer, and a second electrode, are formed, and (B) a second substrate which is arranged to oppose the first substrate, in which the first substrate is further provided with a light reflecting layer formed of first members which propagate and output light from each light emitting element to an outside and second members placed between two first members, the first members have a truncated cone shape where a cutting head section opposes the light emitting element, a part of light propagated by the first members is completely reflected on opposing surfaces of the second members which oppose the first members.

wherein the first substrate is further provided with a light reflecting layer formed of first members which propagate and output light from each light emitting element to an outside and second members placed between the first members,

the first members have a truncated cone shape where a cutting head section opposes the light emitting element,

a part of light propagated by the first members is completely reflected on opposing surfaces of the second members which oppose the first members, and

when a tilting angle of the opposing surfaces of the second members is θ (units: degrees), a refractive index of a material which configures the first members is n 1 , and a refractive index of a material which configures the second members is n 2 (here, n 2 <n 1 ), 75.2−54 (n 1 −n 2 )≦θ≦81.0−20(n 1 −n 2 ) is satisfied.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein 76.3−46(n 1 −n 2 )≦θ≦77.0−20(n 1 −n 2 ) is satisfied.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein an allowable change range of a relative luminance value at a 0 degree viewing angle of light which is output from the light emitting element via the first members is a maximum of 0.5 in the light emitting element which configures the display apparatus.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a relative luminance value at a 0 degree viewing angle of light which is output from the light emitting element via the first members is 1.5 or more to 3.0 or less.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein an allowable variation range of {(4S/π) 1/2 /H} in the light emitting element which configures the display apparatus is a maximum of 0.2 when an area of the cutting head section of the truncated cone shape is S and a height of the truncated cone shape is H.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein 0.1≦n 1 −n 2 ≦0.4 is satisfied.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,
