Abstract

A display unit includes a plurality of pixels and a first insulating film. The plurality of pixels are arranged in matrix in a first direction and a second direction. The first insulating film is provided between adjacent pixels of the pixels, and has first openings in light-emitting regions of the respective pixels. The first insulating film has, between pixels adjacent in the second direction of the pixels, a second opening extending in the first direction, and a remaining part inside the second opening.

Claims (16)

1. A display unit comprising:

a plurality of pixels that are arranged in matrix in a first direction and a second direction; and

a first insulating film provided between adjacent pixels of the pixels, and having first openings in light-emitting regions of the respective pixels, the first insulating film having, between pixels adjacent in the second direction of the pixels, a second opening extending in the first direction, a remaining part inside the second opening, and a dimension of the remaining part in the first direction is less than a dimension of the second opening in the first direction.

2. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening is part of a plurality of the second openings, and each of the plurality of second openings is provided in a stripe shape.

3. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the remaining part has a thickness that is equal to or smaller than a thickness of the first insulating film other than the remaining part.

4. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the remaining part is provided at a position deviated from a region between the first openings that are adjacent to each other in the second direction.

5. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the pixels each include an organic electroluminescence element that emits light of one of a plurality of colors, and

the pixels are arranged along the first direction for each of light emission colors.

6. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulating film has a recess that connects together the first openings of the respective pixels that are adjacent to each other in the first direction.

7. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first openings is provided with a reflector.

8. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulating film is provided continuously from both sides of the second opening in the second direction in the remaining part.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising a display unit,

the display unit including

a plurality of pixels that are arranged in matrix in a first direction and a second direction, and

a first insulating film provided between adjacent pixels of the pixels, and having first openings in light-emitting regions of the respective pixels, the first insulating film having, between pixels adjacent in the second direction of the pixels, a second opening extending in the first direction, a remaining part inside the second opening, the remaining part extends across an entirety of the second opening in the second direction, and the remaining part extends across less than an entirety of the second opening in the first direction.
