Abstract

A display device with improved viewing angle characteristics is provided. A display device with suppressed mixture of colors between adjacent pixels is provided. The display device includes a first coloring layer, a second coloring layer, and a structure body therebetween. The structure body has a portion closer to a display surface side than a bottom surface of the first coloring layer or a bottom surface of the second coloring layer.

Claims (53)

1. A display device comprising:

a first transistor, a second transistor, and a pixel electrode over a first substrate;

an insulating layer over the first transistor, the second transistor, and the pixel electrode, the insulating layer covering an edge of the pixel electrode;

a first coloring layer and a second coloring layer over the insulating layer;

a structure body over and in directly contact with the insulating layer, and between the first coloring layer and the second coloring layer; and

a second substrate over the first coloring layer and the second coloring layer,

wherein the first transistor and the first coloring layer overlap each other,

wherein the second transistor and the second coloring layer overlap each other, and

wherein a top surface of the structure body is closer to the second substrate side than a bottom surface of the first coloring layer or a bottom surface of the second coloring layer is.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first coloring layer is different from a thickness of the second coloring layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the first coloring layer and a top surface of the second coloring layer are closer to the second substrate side than the bottom surface of the first coloring layer and the bottom surface of the second coloring layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first display element comprising the pixel electrode, and between the first transistor and the first coloring layer; and

a second display element between the second transistor and the second coloring layer.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first display element comprising the pixel electrode, and between the first transistor and the first coloring layer; and

a second display element between the second transistor and the second coloring layer,

wherein each of the first display element and the second display element is a light-emitting element.

6. A display device comprising:

a pixel electrode over a first substrate;

an insulating layer over the pixel electrode, the insulating layer covering an edge of the pixel electrode;

a first coloring layer and a second coloring layer over the insulating layer;

a structure body over and in directly contact with the insulating layer, and between the first coloring layer and the second coloring layer; and

a second substrate over the first coloring layer and the second coloring layer,

wherein a top surface of the structure body is closer to the second substrate side than a bottom surface of the first coloring layer or a bottom surface of the second coloring layer is.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein a thickness of the first coloring layer is different from a thickness of the second coloring layer.

8. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein a top surface of the first coloring layer and a top surface of the second coloring layer are closer to the second substrate side than the bottom surface of the first coloring layer and the bottom surface of the second coloring layer.

9. The display device according to claim 6 , further comprising a display element,

wherein the display element comprises:

a first electrode which is the pixel electrode and a second electrode; and
