Abstract

There is provided an electro-optical device including a light-emitting element, a sealing layer that covers the light-emitting element, a color filter layer that is formed on the sealing layer, and a convex portion that is provided between the sealing layer and the color filter layer and has a first surface in contact with the sealing layer and a second surface in contact with the color filter layer, in which the second surface is a curved surface.

Claims (37)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

a light-emitting element;

a sealing layer that covers the light-emitting element;

a color filter layer that is formed on the sealing layer and partially contacts the sealing layer; and

a convex portion that is provided between the sealing layer and the color filter layer and has a first surface in contact with the sealing layer and a second surface in contact with the color filter layer, wherein the second surface is a curved surface.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second surface is a continuously curved surface whose top portion farthest from the sealing layer is covered with both a first color filter and a second color filter.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 1 .

4. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein

a shape of the second surface in a cross section including the color filter layer and the convex portion is a substantially arc shape.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 4 .

6. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the color filter layer includes a first color filter that transmits light in a first wavelength region and a second color filter that transmits light in a second wavelength region; and

a top portion of the second surface farthest from the sealing layer is covered with the first color filter and the second color filter.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 6 .

8. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the color filter layer includes a first color filter being in contact with the sealing layer and the convex portion; and

in a cross section including the convex portion and the first color filter, a length of the convex portion that is in contact with the sealing layer is equal to or more than 20% of a length of the first color filter that is in contact with the sealing layer.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 8 .

10. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the convex portion is equal to or less than a thickness of the color filter layer.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 10 .

12. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the convex portion includes a translucent photosensitive resin material; and

the color filter layer includes a coloring material and the photosensitive resin material.

13. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 12 .

14. A method for manufacturing an electro-optical device, comprising:

forming a convex portion on a sealing layer that covers a light-emitting element so as to include a first surface being in contact with the sealing layer and a second surface being a curved surface that is not in contact with the sealing layer; and

forming a color filter layer on the sealing layer and the second surface, the color filter layer partially contacting the sealing layer.

15. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical device according to claim 14 .
