Abstract

A display apparatus having an image capturing function is provided. A display apparatus or an imaging device with a high aperture ratio is provided. The display apparatus includes a first light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. The first light-emitting element is formed by stacking a first pixel electrode, a first organic layer, and a common electrode in this order. The light-receiving element is formed by stacking a second pixel electrode, a second organic layer, and the common electrode in this order. The first organic layer includes a first light-emitting layer, and the second organic layer includes a photoelectric conversion layer. A first layer and a second layer are included in a region between the first light-emitting element and the light-receiving element. The first layer overlaps with the second organic layer and contains the same material as the first organic layer. The second layer overlaps with the first organic layer and contains the same material as the second organic layer. In the region between the first light-emitting element and the light-receiving element, an end portion of the first organic layer and an end portion of the first layer face each other and an end portion of the second organic layer and an end portion of the second layer face each other.

Claims (39)

1 . A display apparatus comprising a first light-emitting element and a light-receiving element,

wherein the first light-emitting element comprises a first pixel electrode, a first organic layer, and a common electrode stacked in this order,

wherein the light-receiving element comprises a second pixel electrode, a second organic layer, and the common electrode stacked in this order,

wherein the first organic layer comprises a first light-emitting layer,

wherein the second organic layer comprises a photoelectric conversion layer,

wherein a first layer and a second layer are provided in a region between the first light-emitting element and the light-receiving element,

wherein the first layer overlaps with the second organic layer and comprises a material identical to a material of the first organic layer,

wherein the second layer overlaps with the first organic layer and comprises a material identical to a material of the second organic layer,

wherein an end portion of the first organic layer and an end portion of the first layer face each other in the region between the first light-emitting element and the light-receiving element, and

wherein an end portion of the second organic layer and an end portion of the second layer face each other in the region between the first light-emitting element and the light-receiving element.

2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second light-emitting element,

wherein the second light-emitting element comprises a third pixel electrode, a third organic layer, and the common electrode stacked in this order,

wherein the third organic layer comprises a second light-emitting layer,

wherein a third layer and a fourth layer are provided in a region between the second light-emitting element and the first light-emitting element,
