Abstract

A display unit includes a plurality of pixels, a reflector layer, and an auxiliary pelectrode. 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.

Claims (16)

1. A display unit, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of pixel circuits arranged on the substrate;

a planarization layer arranged on the plurality of pixel circuits; and

a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the planarization layer,

wherein each of the plurality of light emitting elements include a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode,

an insulation layer is disposed on the first electrode,

a projected layer is disposed on the insulation layer, the projected layer having a first portion and a projected portion,

a first part of the organic layer is disposed on the projected layer,

a second part of the organic layer is disposed on the first electrode, and

at the projected portion, the first part of the organic layer is disconnected from the second part of the organic layer.

2. The display unit of claim 1 , wherein the insulation layer is a reflector.

3. The display unit of claim 1 , wherein the projected layer comprises a conductive material.

4. The display unit of claim 1 , wherein the projected layer is an auxiliary electrode.

5. The display unit of claim 1 , wherein a width of a bottom surface of the projected layer is wider than a width of a top surface of the insulation layer.

6. The display unit of claim 1 , wherein the first part of the organic layer is in contact with a side surface of the projected layer.
