Abstract

A display device includes a substrate and a plurality of first light-emitting elements having a microcavity structure on the substrate. Each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements includes a first light-emitting film and a first upper electrode and a first lower electrode sandwiching the first light-emitting film. The peak wavelength of an emission spectrum of the first light-emitting film is in a wavelength range where the luminosity curve slopes negatively. Within a wavelength range where the peak wavelength of a multiple interference spectrum caused by the microcavity structure varies when the viewing angle varies from 0° to 60°, the luminosity curve slopes negatively, and the emission spectrum slopes positively.
