an insulating film comprises a first portion and a second portion,

the first portion is located between the first anode electrode and the second anode electrode,

the second portion is located between the second anode electrode and the third anode electrode,

a shape of the first portion is different from a shape of the second portion in a cross sectional view, and

a thickness from a bottom surface of the first portion to a top surface of the first portion is thicker than a thickness of the first anode electrode, and a thickness from a bottom surface of the second portion to a top surface of the second portion is thicker than a thickness of the second electrode.

2. The display unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a color filter associated with the light emitting devices.

3. The display unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a light blocking layer configured to block light from the light emitting devices.

4. The display unit according to claim 3 , wherein the light blocking layer includes a black matrix associated with the light emitting devices.

5. The display unit according to claim 4 , wherein the black matrix is provided at a light emission direction.

6. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second, and third light emitting devices includes an organic layer.

7. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting device is configured to emit light corresponding to a first color, the second light emitting device is configured to emit light corresponding to a second color, and the third light emitting device is configured to emit light corresponding to a third color.

8. The display unit according to claim 7 , wherein the first color, the second color, and the third color are different.

9. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the drive substrate includes a pixel control circuit, and wherein the pixel control circuit includes a driving transistor, a writing transistor and a capacitor.
