Display unit with organic layer
A display unit includes a plurality of pixels, a reflector layer, and an auxiliary electrode. Each of the plurality of pixels has a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode in this order. The organic layer and the second electrode are provided on the first electrode. The organic layer includes a light-emitting layer. The reflector layer has a light-reflecting surface around each of the pixels. The auxiliary electrode is provided on the reflector layer and is projected from an upper end of the light-reflecting surface. The auxiliary electrode has a portion which is exposed from the organic layer, and the exposed portion is covered with the second electrode.
