Self-luminous display panel having different distances between openings of light-shielding film and light-emitting elements depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements
A self-luminous display panel including light-emitting elements 100 , column banks 122 Y, and a light-shielding film 133 . The light-emitting elements 100 correspond one-to-one with sub-pixels 100 se , each sub-pixel 100 se in a pixel emitting a different color of light. The column banks 122 Y are disposed between the light-emitting elements 100 in a row direction, each having an elongated shape in a column direction. The light-shielding film 133 has openings 133 a at positions corresponding to the light-emitting elements 100 in plan view, downstream in a light emission direction of the light-emitting elements 100 . In plan view, distances in the row direction between edges of the openings 133 a of the light-shielding film 133 and defined points of the light-emitting elements 100 are different depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements 100 , due to different widths of portions of the column banks 122 Y adjacent to the light-emitting elements 100.
1. A self-luminous display panel in which pixels composed of sub-pixels are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, comprising:
light-emitting elements corresponding one-to-one with the sub-pixels, each sub-pixel in a pixel emitting a different color of light;
column banks disposed between the light-emitting elements in a row direction, each of the column banks having an elongated shape in a column direction; 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
in plan view, distances in the row direction between edges of the openings of the light-shielding film and defined points of the light-emitting elements are different depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements, due to different widths of portions of the column banks adjacent to the light-emitting elements,
the light-emitting elements have different widths in the row direction depending on the the light emission color of the light-emitting element, and
among the light-emitting elements of each pixel, a first light-emitting element that has a larger width has smaller values for the distances in the row direction between the edges of the corresponding opening and the defined points of the light-emitting element than a second light-emitting element that has a smaller width.
2. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein
among crosspieces of the light-shielding film between the openings, among the crosspieces corresponding to each pixel, a first crosspiece that has a smaller width in the row direction corresponds to a column bank that has a larger width in the row direction while a second crosspiece that has a larger width in the row direction corresponds to a column bank that has a smaller width in the row direction.
3. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein
widths in the row direction of crosspieces of the light-shielding film between the openings are constant, regardless of light emission color of the light-emitting elements.
4. The self-luminous display panel of claim 1 , wherein
the light-emitting elements of each pixel are arranged in a line 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 column 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 column 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.
5. The self-luminous display panel of claim 4 , wherein
a difference in chromaticity between chromaticity observed from a viewing angle of 45° from the front of the display panel in the row direction and chromaticity observed from a viewing angle of 45° from the front of the display panel in the column direction is from 0 to 0.020, where the difference in observed chromaticity 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.
6. The self-luminous display panel of claim 4 , wherein
luminance observed from a viewing angle of 45° from the front of the display panel in the column direction is 103% or more of luminance observed from a viewing angle of 45° 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.
7. A self-luminous display panel in which pixels composed of sub-pixels are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, comprising:
light-emitting elements corresponding one-to-one with the sub-pixels, each sub-pixel in a pixel emitting a different color of light;

in plan view, distances in the row direction between edges of the openings of the light-shielding film and defined points of the light-emitting elements are different depending on light emission color of the light-emitting elements, due to different widths of portions of the column banks adjacent to the light-emitting elements, and
among crosspieces of the light-shielding film between the openings, among the crosspieces corresponding to each pixel, a first crosspiece that has a smaller width in the row direction corresponds to a column bank that has a larger width in the row direction while a second crosspiece that has a larger width in the row direction corresponds to a column bank that has a smaller width in the row direction.
