A display unit has R, G, and B light-emitting pixels arranged in a predetermined sequence. The R pixels and the B pixels each have a G-light-absorbing filter at the
image display side (light output side or external-light incident side) thereof. The G pixels have no filters. The R and B light-emitting pixels each have a
composite structure including a
reflective layer, an organic EL layer, and a translucent
reflective layer. The translucent
reflective layer and the reflective layer constitute an optical
resonator that causes multiple interference of light. The
transmittance of the G-light-absorbing filter is minimized at the G
wavelength, at which the sensitivity of the
naked eye is high, and maximized at the R and B wavelengths. Furthermore, the external
light reflectance of each pixel is minimized at the G
wavelength. This display unit significantly suppresses a decrease in contrast caused by external light without a decrease in luminance of an image.
