Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate on which a light emitting element is mounted and a second substrate that faces the first substrate. The second substrate includes a reflector plate at a position above the light emitting element and facing a light emission surface of the light emitting element.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate on which a light emitting element is mounted; and

a second substrate that faces the first substrate;

wherein

the second substrate includes a hemispherical concave hole, and a reflector plate at a position above the light emitting element and facing a light emission surface of the light emitting element,

the reflector plate is provided on a surface of the hemispherical concave hole, and

the light emitting element is arranged in the hemispherical concave hole,

the light emitting element is a light emitting diode having an anode, a cathode, and a light emitting layer which emits a light and is located between the anode and the cathode,

the reflector plate has an opening which is smaller than the cathode at an area facing the cathode, and

a part of the light emitted from the light emitting element passes through the first substrate, and another part of the light emitted from the light emitting element passes through the opening and the second substrate.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

an adhesive layer that adheres the first substrate and the second substrate to each other,

wherein

the adhesive layer has a refractive index same as a refractive index of the light emitting element or a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the light emitting element, and

the hemispherical concave hole is filled with the adhesive layer.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first substrate further includes a drive transistor that is disposed below the light emitting element and controls a current supplied to the light emitting element, and

the drive transistor is disposed at a position overlapping with the light emitting element in planar view.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

a drive transistor that is disposed below the light emitting element and controls a current supplied to the light emitting element,

wherein

the drive transistor is disposed at a position not overlapping with the hemispherical concave hole in planar view.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the reflector plate reflects, among emitted lights from the light emitting element, the emitted light having an angle θ with a normal direction of a light emission surface of the light emitting element within ranges of 30°≤θ≤65° and −65°≤θ≤−30° toward the first substrate side.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the reflector plate transmits, among emitted lights from the light emitting element, the emitted light having an angle θ with a normal direction of the light emission surface of the light emitting element within ranges of 0°≤θ<30° and −30°<θ≤0° to the second substrate side through the opening.
