Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel. The first pixel includes a first light-emitting element that emits light in a first wavelength range. The second pixel includes a second light-emitting element that emits light in a fourth wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range and that includes a second wavelength range and a third wavelength range and a first color filter that transmits light in the second wavelength range emitted from the second light-emitting element. The third pixel includes a third light-emitting element that emits light in the fourth wavelength range and a second color filter that transmits light in the third wavelength range emitted from the third light-emitting element.

Claims (34)

1. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a first pixel;

a second pixel; and

a third pixel,

wherein the first pixel includes a first light-emitting element that emits light in a first wavelength range,

wherein the second pixel includes a second light-emitting element that emits light in a fourth wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range and that includes a second wavelength range and a third wavelength range and a first color filter that transmits light in the second wavelength range emitted from the second light-emitting element, and

wherein the third pixel includes a third light-emitting element that emits light in the fourth wavelength range and a second color filter that transmits light in the third wavelength range emitted from the third light-emitting element.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element, and the third light-emitting element include a resonance structure in which a reflective layer and a transflective layer face each other with a light-emitting layer between the reflective layer and the transflective layer.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 ,

wherein an optical path length between the reflective layer and the transflective layer in the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element is the same and set in a manner such that in a light spectrum of light emitted from the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element, a peak corresponding to a first resonance order is located in the second wavelength range, and a peak corresponding to a second resonance order that is different from the first resonance order is located in the third wavelength range.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element emit light of a spectrum with a single peak across the second wavelength range and the third wavelength range.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a full width at half maximum of the spectrum is 50 nm or more and 100 nm or less.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 ,

wherein an optical path length between the reflective layer and the transflective layer in the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element corresponds to a resonance order of 2 or less.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a film thickness of the transflective layer is 2 nm or more and 10 nm or less.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the first color filter and the second color filter transmits light in the first wavelength range and overlaps the first light-emitting element.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a partition formed between the first color filter and the second color filter.

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a distance between the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element is greater than a distance between the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element and a distance between the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 1 .

12. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 2 .

13. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 3 .

14. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 4 .

15. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 5 .

16. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 6 .

17. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 7 .

18. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 8 .

19. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 9 .

20. An electronic apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 10 .
