Abstract

A display device includes: light emitting units; a light absorbing unit that surrounds each of the light emitting units; and a low-reflection layer provided on the surfaces of the light emitting units and the surface of the light absorbing unit. The surface of the light absorbing unit is a corrugated surface that diffuses light, and the low-reflection layer is formed along the corrugated surface.

Claims (50)

1. A display device, comprising:

at least one light emitting unit;

a light absorbing unit that surrounds the at least one light emitting unit; and

a low-reflection layer that is on a first surface of the at least one light emitting unit and a second surface of the light absorbing unit,

wherein the second surface of the light absorbing unit has a first corrugated shape and the second surface is configured to diffuse light,

wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of a portion of the low-reflection layer have a second corrugated shape, and

wherein the portion corresponds to the first corrugated shaped second surface.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one light emitting unit includes a light emitting element, and a sealing portion that is configured to seal the light emitting element.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the sealing portion has at least one of a flat surface, a corrugated surface, or a curved surface.

4. The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the sealing portion has one of a convexly-curved surface and a concavely-curved surface, and

the low-reflection layer is further on each of the convexly-curved surface and the concavely-curved surface.

5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the light emitting element is at least one of a light emitting diode or an electroluminescence element.

6. The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the light absorbing unit has at least one opening, and

wherein the light emitting element is in the at least one opening.

7. The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the sealing portion contains a transparent material with one of a transparency property or a diffuse transmission property.

8. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one light emitting unit includes an exposed light emitting element.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first corrugated shaped second surface includes a plurality of fine particles.

10. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light absorbing unit includes a light absorbing layer and a shaped layer, and

wherein the shaped layer is in between a third surface of the light absorbing layer and the portion,

wherein the shaped layer has the first corrugated shape.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the low-reflection layer contains at least one of fluororesin, porous particles, or hollow particles.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the low-reflection layer has a thickness equal to or greater than a wavelength of the light.

13. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the low-reflection layer has a thickness of λ/(4n),

wherein A is a wavelength of the light, and

wherein n is a refractive index of the low-reflection layer.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein both of the at least one light emitting unit and the light absorbing unit have recesses.

15. A display device, comprising

a plurality of display cells that are arranged two-dimensionally,

wherein each of the plurality of display cells including:

at least one light emitting unit;

a light absorbing unit that surrounds the at least one light emitting unit; and

a low-reflection layer that is on a first surface of the at least one light emitting unit and a second surface of the light absorbing unit,

wherein the second surface of the light absorbing unit has a first corrugated shape and the second surface is configured to diffuse light,

wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of a portion of the low-reflection layer have a second corrugated shape, and

wherein the portion corresponds to the first corrugated shaped second surface.

16. An electronic apparatus, comprising

a display device including:

at least one light emitting unit;

a light absorbing unit that surrounds the at least one light emitting unit; and

a low-reflection layer that is on a first surface of the at least one light emitting unit and a second surface of the light absorbing unit,

wherein the second surface of the light absorbing unit has a first corrugated shape and the second surface is configured to diffuse light,

wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of a portion of the low-reflection layer have a second corrugated shape, and

wherein the portion corresponds to the first corrugated shaped second surface.
