Abstract

A display device of the present disclosure includes a substrate, a lens layer including a lens, a light-transmitting layer that contacts a lens surface of the lens, and has translucency, a pixel electrode disposed between the substrate and the lens layer, and a color filter disposed between the pixel electrode and the lens layer. The lens is disposed so as to correspond to the pixel electrode. A refractive index of a constituent material for the lens is lower than a refractive index of a constituent material for the light-transmitting layer.

Claims (26)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a transmissive substrate;

a lens layer including a lens disposed between the substrate and the transmissive substrate;

a light-transmitting layer that contacts a lens surface of the lens, is disposed between the substrate and the transmissive substrate, and has translucency;

a pixel electrode disposed between the substrate and the lens layer; and

a color filter disposed between the pixel electrode and the lens layer, wherein

the lens is disposed so as to correspond to the pixel electrode,

a refractive index of a constituent material for the lens is lower than a refractive index of a constituent material for the light-transmitting layer, and

a refractive index of a constituent material for the transmissive substrate is lower than the refractive index of the constituent material for the light-transmitting layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the lens surface is a convex surface.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmissive substrate has translucency, and

the color filter, the light-transmitting layer, the lens layer, and the transmissive substrate are disposed in this order.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmissive substrate has translucency, and

the color filter, the lens layer, the light-transmitting layer, and the transmissive substrate are disposed in this order.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

the lens layer contacts the color filter.

6. The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising

a flattening layer that is disposed between the color filter and the lens layer, includes a flat surface in contact with the lens layer, and has translucency.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a common electrode disposed between the pixel electrode and the lens layer; and

a light-emitting layer that is disposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and contains an organic light-emitting material.

8. An electronic apparatus, comprising the display device according to claim 1 .
