light-emitting elements corresponding one-to-one with the sub-pixels, each sub-pixel in a pixel emitting a different color of light; and

a light-shielding film provided with openings at positions corresponding to the light-emitting elements in plan view, downstream in a light emission direction of the light-emitting elements, wherein

optical distances between the light-shielding film and light emission reference points of the light-emitting elements are different, depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements, and

the pixels are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns,

the light-emitting elements have different lengths in a row or column direction depending on the light emission color of the light-emitting elements, and

among the light-emitting elements of each pixel, a first light-emitting element that has a larger length in the row or column direction has a larger value among the optical distances than a second light-emitting element that has a smaller length in the row or column direction.

2. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein

the optical distances are each a maximum distance in the light emission direction between an edge of one of the openings of the light-shielding film, and one of the light emission reference points of a corresponding one of the light-emitting elements.

3. The self-luminous display panel of claim 2 , wherein

positions in the light emission direction of top edges of the openings of the light-shielding film corresponding to the light-emitting elements are different, depending on the light emission color of the light-emitting elements.

4. The self-luminous display panel of claim 2 , wherein

positions in the light emission direction of the light emission reference points of the light-emitting elements are different, depending on the light emission color of the light-emitting elements.

5. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a light-adjusting film between the light-emitting elements and the light-shielding film in the light emission direction, wherein

the light-adjusting film has areas corresponding to the light-emitting elements in plan view, and a refractive index of the light-adjusting film is different for different areas, depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements.

6. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a light-adjusting film between the light-emitting elements and the light-shielding film in the light emission direction, the light-adjusting film being common to a plurality of the light-emitting elements that emit different colors of light, wherein

a refractive index of the light-adjusting film is different for different wavelengths of light emitted by the light-emitting elements.

7. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein

the light-shielding film is composed of portions of color filter layers overlapping in plan view above boundaries between the light-emitting elements, where the color filter layers correspond one-to-one with the light-emitting elements.

8. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein

the pixels are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, and

in plan view, in a row direction, a column direction, or both the row and column directions, the openings of the light-shielding film each include the light-emitting element corresponding to the opening, and a distance between an edge of the opening and the light-emitting element is the same among the light-emitting elements, regardless of the light emission color of the light-emitting elements.

9. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein

the pixels are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns,

the light-emitting elements of each pixel are arranged in a line in the row direction,

banks extending in the column direction are disposed between the light-emitting elements in the row direction,

each of the light-emitting elements includes a light-emitting layer including an applied film disposed in a gap between the banks, and

each of the light-emitting layers includes a flat portion that has a substantially uniform film thickness disposed in a range that includes a center point in the row direction of the gap between the banks, and pinning portions disposed on either side of the flat portion in the row direction that have a larger film thickness than the flat portion.

10. The self-luminous display panel of claim 9 , wherein

a difference in chromaticity between chromaticity observed from a viewing angle of 45 degrees from the front of the display panel in the row direction and chromaticity observed from a viewing angle of 45 degrees from the front of the display panel in the column direction is from 0 to 0.02, where the difference in observed chromaticity is caused by a portion of light emitted from each light-emitting element being shielded by an edge of the opening of the light shielding film.

11. The self-luminous display panel of claim 9 , wherein

luminance observed from a viewing angle of 45 degrees from the front of the display panel in the column direction is 103% or more of luminance observed from a viewing angle of 45 degrees from the front of the display panel in the row direction, where a difference in observed luminance is caused by a portion of light emitted from each light-emitting element being shielded by the edge of the opening of the light shielding film.

12. A self-luminous display panel in which pixels composed of sub-pixels are arranged, comprising:

light-emitting elements corresponding one-to-one with the sub-pixels, each sub-pixel in a pixel emitting a different color of light;

a light-shielding film provided with openings at positions corresponding to the light-emitting elements in plan view, downstream in a light emission direction of the light-emitting elements, and

a light-adjusting film between the light-emitting elements and the light-shielding film in the light emission direction, the light-adjusting film being common to a plurality of the light-emitting elements that emit different colors of light, wherein
