Abstract

There is provided a display apparatus that includes a plurality of light-emitting elements that constitutes pixels, a light guiding/scattering layer that is provided on the plurality of light-emitting elements and scatters light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements, and a reflection partition wall that separates portions of the light guiding/scattering layer corresponding to each of the pixels and reflects the light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements.

Claims (30)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting elements that constitutes a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting elements is configured to emit white light;

a light guiding/scattering layer on the plurality of light-emitting elements, wherein the light guiding/scattering layer is configured to scatter the white light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements;

a reflection partition wall that separates configured to:

separate portions of the light guiding/scattering layer for each of the plurality of pixels, wherein each of the portions corresponds to a respective light-emitting element of the plurality of light-emitting element; and

reflect the white light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements; and

a plurality of color filters corresponding to a plurality of colors in each of the plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of color filters is provided one of above or below the light guiding/scattering layer.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflection partition wall is over perimeters of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements,

each of the plurality of light-emitting elements corresponds to a respective color of the plurality of colors in each of the plurality of pixels.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the light guiding/scattering layer includes a scattering body and a transparent material,

a refractive index of the scattering body is higher than a refractive index of the transparent material, and

the scattering body is dispersed in the transparent material.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the scattering body further includes one of ZrO2, BaTiO2, TiO2, ZnO, Y2O3, or Al2O3.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the scattering body includes a plurality of transparent particles, and

an average particle size of the plurality of transparent particles is 0.4 μm or more and 2 μm or less.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reflection partition wall includes one of a metal material or a semiconductor material.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the reflection partition wall includes a dielectric body, and

a refractive index of the dielectric body is lower than the refractive index of the transparent material.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a display unit including a plurality of light-emitting elements that constitutes a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting elements is configured to emit white light;

a light guiding/scattering layer on the plurality of light-emitting elements, wherein the light guiding/scattering layer is configured to scatter the white light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements;

a reflection partition wall configured to:

separate portions of the light guiding/scattering layer for each of the plurality of pixels, wherein each of the portions corresponds to a respective light-emitting element of the plurality of light-emitting element; and

reflect the white light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements;

a plurality of color filters corresponding to a plurality of colors in each of the plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of color filters is provided above or below the light guiding/scattering layer; and

a display control unit that controls the display unit.
