Abstract

A display apparatus with a detection device comprising: a substrate having a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to the first principal surface; a plurality of inorganic light-emitting elements provided on the first principal surface in a display region of the substrate; a first electrode facing the first principal surface of the substrate with the inorganic light-emitting elements interposed between the first electrode and the first principal surface; a first planarizing layer provided between the substrate and the first electrode and covering at least a side surface of the inorganic light-emitting elements; and a second electrode facing the second principal surface of the substrate and configured to output a signal corresponding to a change in distance between the second electrode and the first electrode.

Claims (31)

1. A display apparatus with a detection device comprising:

a substrate having a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to the first principal surface;

a plurality of inorganic light-emitting elements provided on the first principal surface in a display region of the substrate;

a first electrode facing the first principal surface of the substrate with the inorganic light-emitting elements interposed between the first electrode and the first principal surface;

a first planarizing layer provided between the substrate and the first electrode and covering at least a side surface of the inorganic light-emitting elements; and

a second electrode facing the second principal surface of the substrate and configured to output a signal corresponding to a change in distance between the second electrode and the first electrode.

2. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first planarizing layer is made of material having lower hardness than the substrate and is capable of being deformed by force applied to an input surface.

3. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor substrate facing the first principal surface of the substrate and provided with the first electrode; and

a coupling member coupled to the sensor substrate and electrically coupled to the first electrode.

4. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the coupling member has a main part coupled to the first electrode and a branch part branching off from the main part and electrically coupled to the second electrode.

5. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a through hole formed in a peripheral region outside the display region and passing through the substrate and the first planarizing layer; and

a conductor provided in the through hole and configured to electrically couple the second electrode and the coupling member.

6. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 3 , further comprising a conductor provided to the second principal surface and a side surface of the substrate and configured to electrically couple the second electrode and the coupling member.

7. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is a reflection suppression layer that suppresses reflection of light.

8. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second planarizing layer provided between the first planarizing layer and the first electrode and covering an upper surface of the inorganic light-emitting elements.

9. The display apparatus with the detection device according to claim 1 , wherein
