Abstract

According to one embodiment, a first substrate includes first to fourth pixel electrodes. A color filter layer includes a red filter opposed to the first pixel electrode, a green filter opposed to the second pixel electrode, a first blue filter opposed to the third pixel electrode and having a peak of transmittance at a wavelength shorter than 460 nm, and a second blue filter opposed to the fourth pixel electrode and having a peak of transmittance at a wavelength longer than 460 nm.

Claims (30)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate including a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a third pixel electrode, and a fourth pixel electrode; and

a color filter layer including a red filter opposed to the first pixel electrode, a green filter opposed to the second pixel electrode, a first blue filter opposed to the third pixel electrode and having a peak of transmittance at a wavelength shorter than 460 nm, and a second blue filter opposed to the fourth pixel electrode and having a peak of transmittance at a wavelength longer than 460 nm.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the color filter layer is formed over a second substrate opposed to the first substrate.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the color filter layer is formed over the first substrate.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

a backlight unit disposed on a back of the first substrate, wherein the backlight unit includes:

a light guide plate having an emitting surface opposed to the first substrate and an incident surface that crosses the emitting surface;

a first white light source opposed to the incident surface and having a peak of emission spectrum at a wavelength shorter than 460 nm; and

a second white light source opposed to the incident surface and having a peak of emission spectrum at a wavelength longer than 460 nm.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first white light source and the second white light source include a blue light emitting diode and a yellow fluorescent substance.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first white light source and the second white light source include quantum dots.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate includes a white light-emitting layer and a common electrode, the white light-emitting layer being located on the first to fourth pixel electrodes and the common electrode being located on the white light-emitting layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the red filter is arranged in a first column in a first direction, the green filter is arranged in a second column in the first direction, the first blue filter and the second blue filter are arranged in a third column in the first direction, and the first blue filter and the second blue filter are also arranged in a second direction that crosses the first direction.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the red filter and the green filter are arranged alternately in a first column in a first direction, and the first blue filter and the second blue filter are arranged in a second column in the first direction.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first column extending in a first direction and including a plurality of red filters;

a second column extending in the first direction, including a plurality of green filters, and arranged next to the first column; and

a third column extending in the first direction, including a plurality of first blue filters and a plurality of second blue filters, and arranged next to the second column,

wherein the first blue filters and the second blue filters are arranged in a second direction that crosses the first direction.

11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first column extending in a first direction and including a plurality of red filters and a plurality of green filters; and

a second column extending in the first direction, including a plurality of first blue filters and a plurality of second blue filters, and arranged next to the first column,

wherein the first blue filters and the second blue filters are arranged in a second direction that crosses the first direction.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first blue filter has an area that is larger than an area of the second blue filter.

13. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a red pixel including the first pixel electrode, a green pixel including the second pixel electrode, a first blue pixel including the third pixel electrode, and a second blue pixel including the fourth pixel electrode; and

a drive circuit which supplies a pixel signal to each of the red pixel, the green pixel, the first blue pixel and the second blue pixel,

wherein the drive circuit includes a circuit which adjusts a gain of pixel signals supplied to at least the first blue pixel and the second blue pixel.
