Abstract

An organic EL display device includes an organic EL section including an organic layer held between a first electrode and a second electrode, one of the two electrodes serving as a reflective electrode, and the other serving as a translucent electrode; a blue pixel portion including a blue color filter configured to mainly transmit a light component in a blue wavelength region of light emitted from the organic EL section; a green pixel portion including a green color filter configured to mainly transmit a light component in a green wavelength region of the light emitted from the organic EL section; and a red pixel portion including a wavelength conversion layer configured to absorb at least one of the light component in the blue wavelength region and the light component in the green wavelength region of the light emitted from the organic EL section and emit light in a red wavelength region.

Claims (24)

1. An organic electroluminescent display device comprising:

an organic electroluminescent section including an organic layer held between a first electrode and a second electrode, the organic layer including at least an organic light-emitting layer, and one of the first electrode and the second electrode serving as a translucent electrode;

a blue pixel portion including a blue color filter configured to transmit a light component in a blue wavelength region of light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section;

a green pixel portion including a green color filter configured to transmit a light component in a green wavelength region of the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section; and

a red pixel portion including a wavelength conversion layer configured to absorb at least one of the light component in the blue wavelength region and the light component in the green wavelength region of the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section and emit light in a red wavelength region,

wherein the wavelength conversion layer is formed of a continuous film extending across a display region,

at least one of the blue pixel portion and the green pixel portion includes a light-distribution conversion layer, and

a partition configured to reflect or scatter at least one of light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section and scattered light obtained by scattering the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section is provided between pixel portions including the light-distribution conversion layer disposed in at least one of the blue pixel portion and the green pixel portion.

2. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first substrate, wherein the blue pixel portion, the green pixel portion, and the red pixel portion are provided between the first substrate and the organic electroluminescent section.

3. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first substrate and a second substrate.

4. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first electrode and the second electrode serves as a reflective electrode, and the other serves as a translucent electrode.

5. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first substrate; and

a second substrate,

wherein the blue pixel portion, the green pixel portion, and the red pixel portion are provided between the first substrate and the organic electroluminescent section and between the second substrate and the organic electroluminescent section.

6. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the organic light-emitting layer is a blue-green phosphorescent layer having an emission spectrum at least including the emission of light in the blue wavelength and the emission of light in the green wavelength.

7. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the red pixel portion further includes a red color filter configured to transmit light in the red wavelength region.

8. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein a partition configured to reflect or scatter at least light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section is provided at a portion of the organic electroluminescent section corresponding to a position between pixel portions.

9. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein a partition configured to reflect or scatter at least one of light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer and light emitted from the organic electroluminescent section is provided at least at the periphery of the red pixel portion.

10. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein a low-refractive-index layer is disposed at least between a substrate disposed on a light-output side and the wavelength conversion layer, the low-refractive-index layer having a lower refractive index than the substrate disposed on the light-output side.

11. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , wherein a low-refractive-index layer is disposed between a substrate disposed on a light-output side and the organic electroluminescent section, the low-refractive-index layer having a lower refractive index than the substrate disposed on the light-output side.

12. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an active element configured to drive the organic electroluminescent section.

13. An electronic apparatus comprising the organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 .

14. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , an absorptance and a fluorescence intensity of the wavelength conversion layer are partially adjusted by a light irradiation.
