Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a plurality of first light-emitting elements and a plurality of second light-emitting elements provided in a display region of the substrate, a first lens provided overlapping each of the first light-emitting elements and having a first diameter in planar view seen from a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and a second lens provided overlapping each of the second light-emitting elements and having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter in planar view seen from the direction perpendicular to the substrate.

Claims (30)

1 . A display device comprises:

a substrate;

a plurality of first light-emitting elements and a plurality of second light-emitting elements provided in a display region of the substrate;

a first lens provided overlapping each of the first light-emitting elements and having a first diameter in planar view seen from a first direction perpendicular to the substrate; and

a second lens provided overlapping each of the second light-emitting elements and having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter in planar view seen from the first direction, wherein

the first diameter of the first lens is larger than a first width of the first light-emitting element, and

the second diameter of the second lens is smaller than a second width of the second light-emitting element.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first lens is provided overlapping each of the first light-emitting elements, and

a plurality of the second lens are provided overlapping each of the second light-emitting elements.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display region of the substrate includes a first region provided with the first light-emitting elements and a plurality of the first lenses and a second region provided with the second light-emitting elements and a plurality of the second lenses, and

the first region is provided at a center of the display region, and the second region is provided at an outer end of the display region in a second direction.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of pixels arrayed on the substrate, wherein

each of the pixels includes the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements, and

the first light-emitting element and the first lens and the second light-emitting element and a plurality of the second lenses are adjacently disposed in planar view seen from the first direction.

5 . The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element adjacent to each other in each of the pixels output light in the same color.

6 . The display device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the pixel includes a first driver IC configured to drive the first light-emitting elements and a second driver IC configured to drive the second light-emitting elements.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an element insulating film covering a side surface of the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements, wherein

the first lens and the second lens are provided on the element insulating film.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an element insulating film covering a side surface of the second light-emitting elements, wherein

the first lens is provided on the substrate to cover an upper surface and a side surface of the first light-emitting element, and

the second lens is provided on the element insulating film.

9 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the substrate has such a curved shape that a main surface on which the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements are mounted is curved to protrude,

the display region of the substrate includes a first region provided with the first light-emitting elements and a plurality of the first lenses and a second region provided with the second light-emitting elements and a plurality of the second lenses, and

the first region is provided at a center of the display region of the substrate, and the second region is provided at an outer end of the display region of the substrate.
