Abstract

A display device includes a pixel electrode, a pixel isolation insulating film in which an opening through which the pixel electrode is exposed at a bottom is formed, and a light-emitting layer formed inside the opening. The pixel isolation insulating film contains particles that receive light emitted from the light-emitting layer and propagate light in a direction different from that of the light emitted from the light-emitting layer.

Claims (23)

1. A display device comprising:

a pixel electrode;

a pixel isolation insulating film in which an opening through which the pixel electrode is exposed at a bottom is formed; and

a light-emitting layer formed inside the opening, wherein

the pixel isolation insulating film contains particles that receive light emitted from the light-emitting layer and propagate light in a direction different from that of the light emitted from the light-emitting layer,

wherein the opening formed in the pixel isolation insulating film includes a first opening and a second opening adjacent to each other, and

in a portion of the pixel isolation insulating film between the first opening and the second opening, the particles that are contained on a side close to the first opening and the particles that are contained on a side close to the second opening propagate lights at wavelengths different from each other.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the particles receive the light emitted from the light-emitting layer and propagate light at a specific wavelength in a direction different from that of the light emitted from the light-emitting layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter disposed above the light-emitting layer, wherein

the particles receive the light emitted from the light-emitting layer and propagate light of a color corresponding to a color of the color filter in a direction different from that of the light emitted from the light-emitting layer.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the pixel isolation insulating film includes a portion that is not covered by the color filter in an area from the opening to a boundary between pixels.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter disposed above the light-emitting layer and covering an area of the pixel isolation insulating film from the opening to a boundary between pixels.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the particles receive the light emitted from the light-emitting layer and propagate light of a color corresponding to a color of the light emitted from the light-emitting layer in a direction different from that of the light emitted therefrom.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the particles include a quantum dot particle.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the particles include a metal colloid particle.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the particles include a quantum dot particle and a metal colloid particle.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter disposed above the light-emitting layer and containing a metal colloid particle.
