Abstract

There is provided a display device including: a first substrate that is a silicon substrate and on which a plurality of light-emitting elements is formed; a second substrate including, on a surface, a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters arrayed and a microlens layer including a plurality of microlenses arrayed that are layered in this order, the microlens layer being arranged to face the plurality of light-emitting elements with respect to the first substrate; and an adhesive layer that fills a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate for bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together.

Claims (40)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate that is a silicon substrate and on which a plurality of light-emitting elements is formed;

a second substrate including, on a surface, a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters arrayed, a planarizing layer formed on the color filter layer, and a microlens layer formed on the planarizing layer, the microlens layer including a plurality of microlenses arrayed, the microlens layer being arranged to face the plurality of light-emitting elements with respect to the first substrate; and

an adhesive layer that fills a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate for bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together, wherein

each of the microlenses has a convex shape protruding toward a corresponding one of the light-emitting elements,

a refractive index of a material of the adhesive layer is smaller than a refractive index of a material of the microlens layer, and

the display device is a microdisplay having a panel size of 0.2 inches to 2 inches.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a pixel size of the display device is equal to or less than 20 μm.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an array of the color filters is a square array.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an array of the color filters is a delta array.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a shape of each of the microlenses as viewed from a layering direction is circular.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a shape of each of the microlenses as viewed from a layering direction is a square shape.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the planarizing layer includes a material having a refractive index of 1.0 to 2.5.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the planarizing layer is equal to or less than 10 μm.

9. An electronic device comprising

a display device that performs display on a basis of an image signal, wherein
