[0009] An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The description will be given in the following order: In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0010] The explanation will be given in the following order. 1. First embodiment 2. Second embodiment 3. Third embodiment 4. Fourth Embodiment 5. Fifth Embodiment 6. Manufacturing method 7.Electronic equipment

[0011] The following description is a preferred example of the present disclosure, and the content of the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, in the following description, directions such as front-to-back, left-to-right, and up-down are indicated for the sake of convenience, but the content of the present disclosure is not limited to these directions. In the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction (the upper side is the +Z direction, and the lower side is the -Z direction), the X-axis direction is the front-to-back direction (the front side is the +X direction, and the rear side is the -X direction), and the Y-axis direction is the left-to-right direction (the right side is the +Y direction, and the left side is the -Y direction), and the description will be based on this. The same applies to FIGS. 3 to 12. The relative size and thickness ratios of each layer shown in each figure, such as FIG. 1, are shown for convenience and do not limit the actual size ratios. The same definitions and size ratios regarding these directions apply to each of FIGS. 2 to 12.

[0012] [1 First embodiment] [1-1 Display Device Configuration] 1 and 3 are cross-sectional views showing an example of a configuration of a display device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display device 10 includes a drive substrate 11, a plurality of reflectors 13, an interlayer film 14, a plurality of first electrodes 15, an electroluminescent layer, a second electrode 18, and a protective layer 19, and has an insulating layer 12 disposed between adjacent first electrodes 15. The following description will be given taking as an example a case where the electroluminescent layer is an organic EL layer 17. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of one subpixel portion of FIG. 1.

[0013] The display device 10 is a top-emission display device. In the display device 10, the drive substrate 11 is located on the back side of the display device 10, and the direction from the drive substrate 11 toward the organic EL layer 17 (the +Z direction) is the front side (display surface 10A side) of the display device 10. In the following description, of the layers constituting the display device 10, the surface facing the display surface 10A of the display device 10 is referred to as the first surface (top surface), and the surface facing the back side of the display device 10 is referred to as the second surface (bottom surface).

[0014] (organic EL element) In the display device 10, a reflector 13, an interlayer film 14, a first electrode 15, an organic EL layer 17, and a second electrode 18 formed on a drive substrate 11 form an organic EL element 100. In the display device 10, a plurality of organic EL elements 100 are formed corresponding to the layout of pixels. The layout of the organic EL elements 100 is not particularly limited. In the example of FIG. 2A, the plurality of organic EL elements 100 are two-dimensionally arranged in two predetermined directions (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction in FIG. 2A). FIG. 2A is a plan view for explaining one embodiment of a display surface 10A of the display device 10. In FIG. 2A, reference numeral 10B denotes a non-display portion surrounding the display surface 10A.

[0015] (Pixel configuration) In the example of the display device 10 shown in FIG. 2B , one pixel is formed by a combination of multiple subpixels corresponding to multiple colors. In this example, three colors, red, blue, and green, are defined as the multiple colors, and three types of subpixels, subpixel 101R, subpixel 101G, and subpixel 101B, are provided. The subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B are red, blue, and green subpixels, respectively, and display red, blue, and green, respectively. In the example of the display device 10 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , etc., an organic EL element 100R, an organic EL element 100G, and an organic EL element 100B are provided corresponding to the subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B. However, the examples shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B are merely examples, and the display device 10 is not limited to a case in which multiple subpixels corresponding to multiple colors are included. A single color may be included, or a pixel may be formed without subpixels. Furthermore, the light corresponding to each of the red, green, and blue colors (red light, green light, and blue light, respectively) can be defined as light having a dominant wavelength in the wavelength ranges of 610 nm to 650 nm, 510 nm to 590 nm, and 440 nm to 480 nm, respectively.

[0016] 1 and 2B, the layout of the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101B is a stripe-like layout, but is not limited to this example. The layout of the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101B may be, for example, a delta-like layout as shown in FIG. 4A or a square layout as shown in FIG. 4B. The shapes of the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101B are also not particularly limited.

[0017] In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish between the subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B, the term subpixel 101 is used. When there is no need to distinguish between the organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B, the term organic EL element 100 is used. Regarding the drawings, the example of FIG. 3 illustrates an extracted portion of one subpixel 101 and organic EL element 100. However, as shown in the examples of FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B, when there are multiple subpixels 101, for example, when there are multiple subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B, a similar configuration can be adopted for each of the multiple organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B corresponding to the multiple subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B.

[0018] The configuration of the organic EL element and the configuration of the pixel are the same in the second to fifth embodiments, their respective modifications, and examples of manufacturing methods, which will be described later. In the second to fifth embodiments, their respective modifications, and manufacturing methods, the display device 10 may also be configured such that one pixel is formed by a combination of multiple sub-pixels corresponding to multiple color types, or the color type may be one type, or the pixel may be formed without any sub-pixels.

[0019] (Drive board) The drive substrate 11 has various circuits provided on the substrate 11A for driving the plurality of organic EL elements 100. Examples of the various circuits include a drive circuit for controlling the driving of the organic EL elements 100 and a power supply circuit for supplying power to the plurality of organic EL elements 100 (neither of which are shown).

[0020] Substrate 11A may be made of, for example, glass or resin with low moisture and oxygen permeability, or may be made of a semiconductor that facilitates the formation of transistors and the like. Specifically, substrate 11A may be a glass substrate, a semiconductor substrate, a resin substrate, or the like. Examples of glass substrates include high strain point glass, soda glass, borosilicate glass, forsterite, lead glass, and quartz glass. Examples of semiconductor substrates include amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and single crystal silicon. Examples of resin substrates include at least one selected from the group consisting of polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl phenol, polyether sulfone, polyimide, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate.

[0021] On the first surface of the driving substrate 11, a plurality of contact plugs (not shown) are provided for connecting the organic EL element 100 to various circuits provided on the substrate 11A.

[0022] (resonator structure) The display device 10 has a resonator structure 102. The resonator structure 102 is a cavity structure that resonates light emitted from an organic EL layer 17, which will be described later. In the display device 10, the resonator structure 102 is formed in the organic EL element 100, and the reflector 13, the interlayer film 14, the first electrode 15, the organic EL layer 17, and the second electrode 18 form the resonator structure 102. Resonating light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 means resonating light of a specific wavelength included in the emitted light.

[0023] In the example of the display device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the organic EL layer 17 emits white light, and the resonator structure 102 resonates light of a specific wavelength contained in the white light. At this time, light of a specific wavelength is emphasized in the white light from the organic EL layer 17. Then, light with the specific wavelength emphasized is emitted to the outside from the second electrode 18 side of the organic EL element 100. The specific wavelength of light corresponds to a predetermined color, and indicates light corresponding to a color determined for each subpixel 101. In the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, the display device 10 has subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B, and organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B corresponding to the subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B. Resonator structures 102R, 102G, and 102B are formed in the organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B, respectively. In the resonator structure 102R, red light out of the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 resonates. Light is emitted to the outside from the second electrode 18 of the organic EL element 100R with the red light emphasized. In the resonator structures 102G and 102B, green light and blue light out of the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 resonate. Light is emitted to the outside from the second electrode 18 of the organic EL elements 100G and 100B with the green light and blue light emphasized. In this specification, when there is no need to particularly distinguish between the resonator structures 102R, 102G, and 102B, the term resonator structure 102 is used.

[0024] (optical path length setting) Resonance of light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 is achieved by reflection between the second electrode 18 and the reflector 13. The optical path length (sometimes referred to as optical distance) between the second electrode 18 and the reflector 13 is set according to a predetermined color of light. The predetermined color is the color desired to be emitted from the sub-pixel 101. For example, in the resonator structure 102R formed in the sub-pixel 101R, the optical path length between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 is set to cause resonance of red light. In the resonator structures 102G and 102B formed in the sub-pixels 101G and 101B, the optical path lengths between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 are set to cause resonance of green light and blue light, respectively.

[0025] (First and second areas) When viewed in a plan view of the display device 10, the region corresponding to the opening 120 described later is defined as a first region Sc, and the region corresponding to the first electrode 15 that is outside the first region Sc is defined as a second region Sp. In the resonator structure 102 of the display device 10, a structure that resonates the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 is formed in both the parts corresponding to the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0026] For ease of explanation, the portion of the resonator structure 102 corresponding to the first region Sc will be referred to as the first resonator structure E1 (indicated by the range indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG. 3). The portion of the resonator structure 102 corresponding to the second region Sp will be referred to as the second resonator structure E2 (indicated by the range indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG. 3). The first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2 are formed in the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101G, respectively. When the first resonator structures E1R, E1G, and E1B are not distinguished, they will be referred to as the first resonator structure E1, and when the second resonator structures E2R, E2G, and E2B are not distinguished, they will be referred to as the second resonator structure E2. Note that the "region corresponding to the first electrode 15 that is outside the first region Sc" indicating the second region Sp is a region that corresponds to the outer peripheral edge portion of the opening 120 in a planar view of the display device 10, and is a region where the insulating layer 12 and the first electrode 15 overlap.

[0027] The first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 can be formed by setting the optical path length (optical distance) between the second electrode 18 and the reflector 13 for each structure according to a predetermined color of light.

[0028] (resonance order) In the display device 10, a resonator structure 102 is formed in both a portion corresponding to the first region Sc and a portion corresponding to the second region Sp, and further, in the resonator structure 102, the resonance order in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is different from the resonance order in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp. That is, in the display device 10, the resonance order of the first resonator structure E1 is different from the resonance order of the second resonator structure E2. In the example shown in FIG. 3 , this can be realized by forming the resonator structure 102 such that the optical path length between the second electrode 18 and the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is a value corresponding to the resonance order of the first resonator structure E1, and the optical path length between the second electrode 18 and the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is a value corresponding to the resonance order of the second resonator structure E2.

[0029] (resonance condition) In the resonator structure 102, it is preferable that the configuration in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 are different satisfies the resonance conditions, which means that the following formulas 1 and 2 are satisfied, and also the combination of the following formulas 3 and 4, or the combination of the following formulas 5 and 6 is satisfied.

[0030] 2L1 / λ+φ / 2π=m1...(Formula 1)

[0031] 2L2 / λ+φ / 2π=m2...(Formula 2)

[0032] m1≧2 (Equation 3)

[0033] m2=m1±1...(Formula 4)

[0034] m1=1 (Equation 5)

[0035] m2=2...(Formula 6)

[0036] In each of the above formulas 1 to 6, L1 is the optical distance [nm] between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc, L2 is the optical distance [nm] between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp, λ is the peak wavelength [nm] of the spectrum of light corresponding to a predetermined color species, φ is the magnitude [rad] (radian) of the phase shift caused by the reflection of light at the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18, m1 is an integer that is the resonance order in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc, and m2 is an integer that is the resonance order in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp. The light corresponding to the predetermined color species corresponds to the light that is desired to be extracted to the outside.

[0037] The optical distance L1 indicates the sum of the products of the thicknesses and refractive indices of the layers that form the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and are formed between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18. For example, if the thicknesses [nm] of the layers that form the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and are formed between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 (for example, the portion of the interlayer film 14 that is interposed between the reflector 13 and the first electrode 15, the first electrode 15, and the layers that form the organic EL layer 17) are d11, d12, d13, and d1k1 (k1 is the number (an integer) of layers that form the portion corresponding to the first region Sc) and the refractive indices corresponding to the respective layers are n11, n12, n13, and n1k1, then L1 is a value calculated by d11×n11+d12×n12+d13×n13++d1k1×n1k1. The optical length L1 corresponds to the optical length of the first resonant structure E1.

[0038] The optical distance L2 indicates the sum of the products of the thicknesses and refractive indices of layers that form a portion corresponding to the second region Sp and are formed between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18. For example, if the thicknesses [nm] of each layer that forms a portion corresponding to the second region Sp and is formed between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 (for example, a portion of the interlayer film 14 that is interposed between the reflector 13 and the first electrode 15, the first electrode 15, and a layer that forms the organic EL layer 17) are d21, d22, d23, . . . , and d2k2 (k2 is the number (an integer) of layers that form the portion corresponding to the second region Sp) and the refractive indices corresponding to the respective layers are n21, n22, n23, . . . , and n2k2, L2 is a value calculated as d21 × n21 + d22 × n22 + d23 × n23 + . . . + d2k2 × n2k2. The optical length L2 corresponds to the optical length of the second resonant structure E2.

[0039] The phase shift φ is a value calculated by Δφ1+Δφ2, where Δφ1 is the phase shift caused by reflection of light at the reflector 13 and Δφ2 is the magnitude of the phase shift caused by reflection of light at the second electrode 18.

[0040] Δφ1 can be determined using the refractive index of the reflector 13, the absorption coefficient of the reflector 13, the refractive index of the interlayer film 14 in contact with the reflector 13, etc. Δφ2 can be determined using the refractive index of the reflector 13, the absorption coefficient of the reflector 13, the refractive index of the interlayer film 14 in contact with the reflector 13, etc. For a method of determining the phase shift, reference can be made to, for example, "Principles of Opics," Max Born and Emil Wolf, 1974 (PERGAMON PRESS), etc.

[0041] (Configuration in which the resonance order of the first resonance structure is different from the resonance order of the second resonance structure) In the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the configuration for differentiating the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 (the configuration for unequalizing the resonance orders) can be realized, for example, by setting the thickness (Wr1) of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc and the thickness (Wr2) of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp to different values ​​according to the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2, as shown in the example of Fig. 3. In this case, the distance between the first electrode 15 and the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is determined based on the optical distance corresponding to the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1. The distance between the first electrode 15 and the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is determined based on the optical distance corresponding to the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2. 1 to 3, a configuration is adopted in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 are individually made different for each of the resonator structures 102R, 102G, and 102B. However, a configuration in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 are made different for some of the resonator structures 102R, 102G, and 102B may also be adopted.

[0042] The examples of Figures 1 to 3 also show that the configuration in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 are different is achieved by setting the film thickness of the interlayer film 14 to values ​​corresponding to the resonance order of the part corresponding to the first region and the part corresponding to the second region, respectively. 3, if the thickness of the interlayer film 14 from the first surface of the reflector 13 to the first surface of the interlayer film 14 (the first surface of the interlayer film 14B) in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is A1, and the thickness of the interlayer film 14 from the first surface of the reflector 13 to the first surface of the interlayer film 14 (the first surface of the interlayer film 14B) in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is A2, then the distance from the first electrode 15 to the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc corresponds to A1, and the distance from the first electrode 15 to the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp corresponds to A2. Therefore, A1 and A2 are distances determined based on the optical distance corresponding to the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the optical distance corresponding to the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2, respectively. 1 and 3, A1 and A2, which correspond to the distance between the first electrode 15 and the reflector 13, are different values. 1、 As for A2, as shown in FIG. 1, the thicknesses (A1R, A2R, A1G, A2G, A1B, A2B) are determined for the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101B.

[0043] The resonator structure 102 shown in the example of the display device 10 in FIG. 3 illustrates a case where the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is greater than the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1. An example of such a case is when the resonance order m1 of the first resonant structure E1 is 1 and the resonance order m2 of the second resonant structure E2 is 2. In this case, the optical distances L1 and L2 corresponding to the resonance orders of the first and second resonant structures E1 and E2 can be determined based on the values ​​of φ and λ from the resonance conditions in Equations 1 and 2. Furthermore, in this case, the optical distance L2 is longer than the optical distance L1. The shape of the reflector 13 can be determined to satisfy the determined L1 and L2. In the display device 10 illustrated in the example of FIG. 3, the reflector 13 has a step (thickness difference) formed on the first surface side. That is, the thickness Wr1 of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc is smaller than the thickness Wr2 of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp. Accordingly, the position of the first surface of the reflector 13 is such that the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is farther from the second electrode 18 than the portion corresponding to the first region Sc so that the optical distances L1 and L2 are satisfied.

[0044] Specific values ​​of the optical distance L1 and the optical distance L2 can be determined depending on conditions such as the thickness ((d11, d12, . . . d1k1), (d21, d22, . . . d2k2)), refractive index ((n11, n12, . . . , n1k1), (n21, n22, . . . , n2k2)), φ, and λ of each layer forming the organic EL element 100. Each layer is configured as follows:

[0045] (first electrode) A plurality of first electrodes 15 are provided on the first surface side of the drive substrate 11. The plurality of first electrodes 15 are arranged two-dimensionally in accordance with the layout of the sub-pixels 101. The plurality of first electrodes 15 are formed on the first surface of an interlayer film 14, which will be described later.

[0046] In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3, the first electrode 15 serves as an anode. When a voltage is applied between the first electrode 15 and the second electrode 18, holes are injected from the first electrode 15 into the organic EL layer 17. From the viewpoint of improving the luminous efficiency of the organic EL element 100, the first electrode 15 is preferably formed of a material having a high work function and high transmittance. The first electrode 15 is preferably a transparent electrode. The transparent electrode is not particularly limited and includes, for example, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Examples of transparent conductive oxides include indium-based transparent conductive oxides, tin-based transparent conductive oxides, and zinc-based transparent conductive oxides. The transparent electrode may contain multiple types of these various transparent conductive oxides.

[0047] The indium-based transparent conductive oxide refers to a transparent conductive oxide containing indium, and examples thereof include compounds such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and indium gallium oxide (IFO). The tin-based transparent conductive oxide refers to a transparent conductive oxide containing tin, and examples thereof include compounds such as tin oxide, antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO), and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO). The zinc-based transparent conductive oxide refers to a transparent conductive oxide containing zinc, and examples thereof include compounds such as zinc oxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), and boron-doped zinc oxide. From the perspective of reducing the driving voltage of the display device 10, it is preferable that the first electrode 15 be an electrode formed of ITO as a transparent electrode.

[0048] (insulating layer) An insulating layer 12 having an opening 120 is formed between adjacent first electrodes 15. The insulating layer 12 is formed on the surface of an interlayer film 14 (described later) and on the first surface of each first electrode 15. The opening 120 in the insulating layer 12 is formed at the position where the first electrode 15 is formed in a plan view of the display device 10. The openings 120 are formed in a pattern corresponding to the arrangement pattern of the subpixels 101, and one section of the opening 120 defines a unit section of the subpixel 101. As shown in the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3 , the openings 120 are provided on the first surface of each first electrode 15. The openings 120 formed on the first surface of each first electrode 15 mean that the insulating layer 12 is formed to cover the side end surfaces and the outer edge of the top surface (first surface) of each first electrode 15 and to extend over the top surface of the first electrode 15. Note that the plan view of the display device 10 refers to the vertical direction being the line of sight. Furthermore, the insulating layer 12 is a layer that electrically separates adjacent first electrodes 15. The insulating layer 12 is not particularly limited, and may be formed of an organic insulating film such as a polyimide resin, or an inorganic insulating film such as silicon nitride.

[0049] (Organic EL layer) In the display device 10, the organic EL layer 17 is disposed between the first electrode 15 and a second electrode 18, which will be described later, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The organic EL layer 17 covers the first electrode 15 and the insulating layer 12. In the example of the display device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the organic EL layer 17 is an organic EL layer common to all pixels and all sub-pixels.

[0050] The organic EL layer 17 includes at least a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer is made of an organic light-emitting material. In the light-emitting layer, holes and electrons injected from the first electrode 15 and the second electrode 18 combine to generate light. This generated light becomes the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17.

[0051] The organic EL layer 17 may have a structure in which a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer are laminated in this order from the first electrode 15 toward the second electrode 18 (from bottom to top). When the organic EL layer 17 has such a structure, the light-emitting efficiency can be further improved. Furthermore, the organic EL layer 17 may have a structure in which a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer, and an electron transport layer are laminated in this order from the first electrode 15 toward the second electrode 18.

[0052] In the examples of Figures 1 to 3, the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 is preferably white light in that it contains light of various wavelengths as components, but this does not particularly restrict the color of the light emitted from the organic EL layer 17.

[0053] 1 to 3, the organic EL layer 17 is a layer common to all the subpixels 101, but the display device 10 is not limited to this. In the display device 10, the organic EL layer 17 may be formed for each subpixel 101, or for each color type of the subpixel 101. For example, if organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B are formed for each of the subpixels 101R, 101G, and 101B, the organic EL layer 17 may be formed such that an organic EL layer emitting red light, an organic EL layer emitting green light, and an organic EL layer emitting blue light are separated from one another, corresponding to the organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B, respectively. However, even in this case, the insulating layer 12 and the opening 120 are formed.

[0054] (Second electrode) In the display device 10, the second electrode 18 is disposed on the first surface side of the first electrode 15. In the examples of the display device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the second electrode 18 is a layer common to all of the subpixels 101, but the display device 10 is not limited to this. In the display device 10, the second electrode 18 may be formed for each subpixel 101, similar to the organic EL layer 17, or the second electrode 18 may be formed for each color type of the subpixel 101.

[0055] In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3 , the second electrode 18 serves as a cathode. When a voltage is applied between the first electrode 15 and the second electrode 18, electrons are injected from the second electrode 18 into the organic EL layer 17. The second electrode 18 is preferably capable of reflecting light emitted from the organic EL layer 17 and transmitting light resonated in the resonator structure 102. From this perspective, the second electrode 18 is preferably a semi-transparent electrode. A semi-transparent electrode refers to an electrode that has both the properties of reflecting and transmitting light. From the perspective of improving the luminous efficiency of the organic EL element 100, the second electrode 18 is preferably formed of a layer with a low work function.

[0056] The second electrode 18 may be formed, for example, as a single layer or a multilayer of either a metal layer or a metal oxide layer, or as a laminated film of a metal layer and a metal oxide layer. When the second electrode 18 is formed as a laminated film of a metal layer and a metal oxide layer, it is preferable that the metal layer faces the organic EL layer 17, from the viewpoint of facing the layer with a low work function to the organic EL layer. The metal layer preferably contains at least one metal element selected from the group of metals consisting of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), calcium (Ca), and sodium (Na). The metal layer may also be an alloy containing a metal element selected from the above group of metals as a constituent element. Examples of metal oxides include ITO, IZO, and ZnO.

[0057] (reflector) The reflector 13 is provided to face the second surface side of the first electrode 15. The reflector 13 is provided for each first electrode 15, that is, for each sub-pixel 101. The reflector 13 also faces the organic EL layer 17 across the first electrode 15. The reflector 13 reflects light emitted from the organic EL layer 17.

[0058] The reflector 13 is not particularly limited as long as it can form a light-reflective surface, but from the viewpoint of enhancing light reflectivity, it is preferable that it is formed of a layer (reflective layer) containing a metal. Examples of metals include silver (Ag), silver alloy, aluminum (Al), aluminum alloy (Al), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), chromium (Cr), and tungsten (W).

[0059] The reflector 13 may be formed of a reflective layer, or may have a laminated structure in which a reflective layer is formed on an underlayer. In this case, the surface of the reflector 13 on which the reflective layer is formed serves as the first surface. The underlayer is preferably formed of a layer containing titanium (Ti) or a titanium-based compound. Examples of titanium-based compounds include titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium oxide. When the reflector 13 has a laminated structure in which a reflective layer is formed on such an underlayer, the crystal orientation of the reflective layer can be improved, and the reflectance can be improved.

[0060] In the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the thickness Wr1 of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc is different from the thickness Wr2 of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp. The thicknesses (Wr1, Wr2) of the reflector 13 are determined according to the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 in the resonator structure 102. The shape of the reflector 13 can be determined according to the thicknesses (Wr1, Wr2) of the reflector 13.

[0061] 1 to 3 show an example of a display device 10 in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is smaller than the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 (for example, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is 1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is 2). Based on the above-described formulas 1 and 2, which show the resonance conditions, under conditions in which light of the same color is resonated in the first region Sc and the second region Sp, the larger the resonance order, the longer the optical distance required to satisfy the resonance condition. From this perspective, in the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3, the thickness and shape of the reflector 13 are determined so that the position of the first surface side of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is farther from the second surface of the first electrode 15 than the position of the first surface side of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc.

[0062] (Interlayer film) The interlayer film 14 is disposed on the second surface side of the first electrode 15 and covers the first surface side of the reflector 13. In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3, the reflector 13 is embedded in the interlayer film 14. More specifically, the interlayer film 14 is composed of two layers (interlayer film 14A and interlayer film 14B). The reflector 13 is disposed on the interlayer film 14A, and the interlayer film 14B is formed to cover the reflector 13. The interlayer film 14 covers the first surface of the drive substrate 11. The interlayer film 14 functions as an optical adjustment layer that adjusts the optical distance between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18. The optical distance between the reflector 13 and the second electrode 18 can be adjusted by determining the distance between the first surface of the interlayer film 14 and the first surface of the reflector 13.

[0063] 1, for example, in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc of the organic EL element 100R, the distance (thickness A1R) between the first surface of the interlayer film 14 and the first surface of the reflector 13 (the region of the first surface corresponding to the first region Sc) is determined so that the resonator structure 102R has an optical distance L1R at which red light resonates in the first resonant structure E1. Furthermore, in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp of the organic EL element 100R, the distance (thickness A2R) between the first surface of the interlayer film 14 and the first surface of the reflector 13 (the region of the first surface corresponding to the second region Sp) is determined so that the resonator structure 102R has an optical distance L2R at which red light resonates in the second resonant structure E2. For each of the organic EL elements 100G and 100B, the distance (thicknesses A1G and A1B) between the first surface of the interlayer film 14 and the first surface of the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc, and the distance (thicknesses A2G and A2B) between the first surface of the interlayer film 14 and the first surface of the reflector 13 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp are determined.

[0064] In the display device 10 of the example of FIG. 1, the shape (thickness) of the reflector 13 is determined so as to satisfy the distance conditions (thicknesses A1R, A1G, A1B, A2R, A2G, and A2B) corresponding to the organic EL elements 100R, 100G, and 100B, and the position of the reflector 13 in the interlayer film 14 is determined so as to satisfy these distance conditions. In FIG. 1, the first surface of the interlayer film 14A of the interlayer film 14 is flat, and the depth from the first surface of the interlayer film 14B to the position of the reflector 13 satisfies the distance conditions described above. Note that this is just one example, and the first surface of the interlayer film 14B may be flat, and the first surface of the interlayer film 14A may be uneven, so that the depth from the first surface of the interlayer film 14B to the position of the reflector 13 satisfies the distance conditions described above.

[0065] (protective layer) A protective layer 19 is formed on the second electrode 18. The protective layer 19 is made of an insulating material. For example, a thermosetting resin can be used as the insulating material. Other insulating materials include SiO, SiON, AlO, and TiO. In this case, examples of the protective layer 19 include a CVD film containing SiO, SiON, and the like, and an ALD film containing AlO, TiO, SiO, and the like.

[0066] (color filter layer) A color filter layer 103 may be provided on the protective layer 19. The color filter layer 103 may be provided in accordance with the sub-pixels 101. For example, when the color filter layer 103 is provided in the display device 10 shown in FIG. 1, color filter layers 103R, 103G, and 103B corresponding to the sub-pixels 101R, 101G, and 101B are provided. Providing the color filter layer 103 in the display device 10 can further improve color purity.

[0067] (Filled resin layer) Furthermore, a filled resin layer 104 may be formed on the color filter layer 103. The filled resin layer 104 can have the function of protecting the color filter layer 103 and can also planarize the first surface side of the color filter layer 103. The filled resin layer 104 can also function as an adhesive layer that bonds the protective layer 19 to an opposing substrate 105 (described later). Examples of the filled resin layer 104 include an ultraviolet-curable resin and a thermosetting resin.

[0068] (opposing substrate) The counter substrate 105 is provided on the filled resin layer 104 in a state facing the drive substrate 11. The counter substrate 105 seals the organic EL element 100 together with the filled resin layer 104. The counter substrate 105 is preferably made of a material such as glass.

[0069] [1-2 Action and Effects] In a display device having an organic EL layer, if the first surface of the first electrode has an area exposed through an opening in the insulating layer and an area covered with the insulating layer, and the organic EL layer is formed to cover these areas, carriers (holes, etc.) may leak laterally from the opening in the insulating layer to the area covered with the insulating layer. In this case, the organic EL layer may emit light not only in the opening but also in the area around the opening in the insulating layer.

[0070] For display devices having such an organic EL layer, a technology has been proposed to improve light extraction efficiency by providing a resonator structure that resonates light emitted from the organic EL layer. When a resonator structure is formed in a display device, the emitted light may resonate not only in the portion corresponding to the first region corresponding to the opening, but also in the portion corresponding to the second region outside the first region. In the display device, an insulating layer is formed on the first electrode in the portion corresponding to the second region, unlike the portion corresponding to the first region. In this case, a difference occurs between the optical distance between the reflector and the second electrode in the portion corresponding to the first region and the optical distance between the reflector and the second electrode in the portion corresponding to the second region, which can result in different colors being emitted from the first region and the second region (color shift). Therefore, there is a demand for display devices having an organic EL layer that suppress color shift between the first region and the second region, even when a resonator structure is provided and the first and second regions are formed.

[0071] In the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the resonator structure 102 has a portion corresponding to the first region Sc with a different resonance order from a portion corresponding to the second region Sp. In this case, in the resonator structure 102, light of the same color resonates in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp with different resonance orders. Therefore, the display device 10 can suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0072] Furthermore, in the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the resonance orders of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp are different from each other, so that a processing margin can be secured for the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp. For example, when the resonator structure 102B is provided in the display device 10 including the blue subpixel 101B, achieving a design in which the resonance orders of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp are aligned may require a design in which the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp is positioned closer to the first electrode 15. However, such a design is difficult due to the short distance between the first electrode 15 and the reflector 13. In this regard, in the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the resonance orders are different between the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp, so that the portion corresponding to the second region Sp can be designed so that a sufficient distance is secured between the first electrode 15 and the reflector 13, and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp can be designed with excellent ease of realization.

[0073] [1-3 Modified example of display device] 1 to 3, the display device 10 has an example in which the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is greater than the resonance order of the first resonant structure. In the display device 10, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 may be greater than the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2, as shown in Fig. 5. For example, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 may be 2, and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be 1.

[0074] In this case, in the display device 10, under the conditions for resonating light of the same color, the first resonant structure E1, which has a larger resonance order, has a longer optical distance for satisfying the resonance condition than the second resonant structure E2, based on the above-described formulas 1 and 2, which show the resonance conditions. In consideration of this, in the display device 10, as shown in Fig. 5, it is preferable that the reflector 13 is formed so that the position on the first surface side of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is farther from the first electrode 15 than the position on the first surface side of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp. Therefore, in the example shown in Fig. 5, the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp is greater than the thickness of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc.

[0075] According to the display device 10 of this modified example, in the resonator structure 102, light of the same color resonates with different resonance orders between the part corresponding to the first region Sc and the part corresponding to the second region Sp, thereby suppressing color mismatch between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0076] [2 Second embodiment] [2-1 Display Device Configuration] A display device 10 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Similar to the first embodiment, the display device 10 according to the second embodiment includes a resonator structure 102, which is configured to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2. In the second embodiment, the configuration to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 is achieved by setting the thickness We1 of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the first region Sc and the thickness We2 of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp to different values ​​depending on the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2, as shown in FIG. 6 . Other than the configuration to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2, the display device 10 according to the second embodiment is similar to the display device 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0077] In the display device 10 according to the second embodiment, the configuration for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be used in combination with the configuration shown in the first embodiment for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2.

[0078] 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the display device 10 according to the second embodiment, in which the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1 (for example, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is 1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is 2). In the example of FIG. 6, the first electrode 15 is formed so that the thickness We2 of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is thicker than the thickness We1 of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc (We2 is larger than We1). The first electrode 15 is formed so that the portion corresponding to the second region Sp bulges out toward the first surface more than the portion corresponding to the first region Sc.

[0079] When the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1, the optical distance that satisfies the resonance condition in the second resonant structure E2 is longer than the optical distance that satisfies the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1.

[0080] The thickness of the portion of the insulating layer 12 corresponding to the second region Sp is defined as U. In the display device 10 shown in the example of FIG. 6, U is smaller and We2 is larger than when the thicknesses of the portions of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the first region and the second region are the same (U is relatively smaller and We2 is relatively larger). When the refractive index of the first electrode 15 is larger than the refractive index of the insulating layer 12, U is smaller and We2 is larger, thereby making it possible to lengthen the optical distance of the portion corresponding to the second region.

[0081] 6, when the refractive index of the first electrode 15 is larger than the refractive index of the insulating layer 12, U is small and We2 is large so that the optical distance in the second resonant structure E2 satisfies the resonance condition. That is, the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp is formed in a shape that bulges out toward the first surface more than the portion corresponding to the first region Sc so that the optical distance in the second resonant structure E2 satisfies the resonance condition.

[0082] [2-2 Action and Effects] According to the display device 10 of the second embodiment, similarly to the display device of the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0083] Furthermore, by making the thickness We2 of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp thicker than the thickness We1 of the portion corresponding to the first region, it becomes possible to control the electric field of the organic EL element 100 (the electric field formed between the first electrode 15 and the second electrode 18) so as to reduce leakage of carriers (holes, etc.). Therefore, according to the display device 10 of the second embodiment, it is possible to reduce light emission in the second region Sp and suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0084] [2-3 Modified examples of display devices] (Variation 1) The example of the display device 10 in FIG. 6 described above in detail illustrates an example in which the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is greater than that of the first resonant structure E1. In the display device 10 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 may be greater than that of the second resonant structure E2 (Modification 1). That is, the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be smaller than that of the first resonant structure E1. For example, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 may be 2, and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be 1. The display device 10 according to Modification 1 of the second embodiment can suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0085] In this case, in the display device 10, the first electrode 15 is preferably formed such that the thickness We1 of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc is thinner than the thickness We2 of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp, as shown in Fig. 7. The first electrode 15 shown in Fig. 7 has a shape in which the portion corresponding to the second region Sp is recessed more toward the first surface than the portion corresponding to the first region Sc, forming a step at the boundary between the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the portion corresponding to the first region Sc.

[0086] When the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is smaller than that of the first resonant structure E1, the optical distance L2 that satisfies the resonance condition in the second resonant structure E2 is shorter than the optical distance L1 that satisfies the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1.

[0087] When the refractive index of the first electrode 15 is greater than the refractive index of the insulating layer 12, U becomes relatively large and We2 becomes relatively small in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp, thereby shortening the optical distance of the portion corresponding to the second region. Note that "relatively large" and "relatively small" for U and We2 refer to a comparison of the magnitudes when the thickness of the first electrode 15 is uniform in the portions corresponding to the first region and the second region, and in this first modification.

[0088] 7, when the refractive index of the first electrode 15 is greater than that of the insulating layer 12, U is relatively large and We2 is relatively small so that the optical distance in the second resonant structure E2 satisfies the resonance condition. That is, the thickness We2 of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp is smaller than the thickness We1 of the portion corresponding to the first region Sc so that the optical distance in the second resonant structure E2 and the first resonant structure E1 satisfies the resonance condition. In this case, the thickness U of the insulating layer 12 is relatively large.

[0089] (Variation 2) Variation 1 of the display device 10 according to the second embodiment illustrates an example in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is greater than the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2. In this example, the first electrode 15 has a shape in which a portion corresponding to the second region Sp is recessed toward the second surface side more than a portion corresponding to the first region Sc, forming a step at the boundary between the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the portion corresponding to the first region Sc. The display device 10 according to Variation 1 of the second embodiment is not limited to this. That is, as shown in FIG. 8 , the first electrode 15 may have a portion corresponding to the second region Sp recessed toward the second surface side more than a portion corresponding to the first region Sc (Variation 2). In the example shown in FIG. 8 , the first electrode 15 has a shape in which a step is formed at the boundary between the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the portion corresponding to the first region Sc. Furthermore, a part of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the first region Sc is located below the first surface of the interlayer film 14. In FIG. 8, the symbol P indicates a portion of the first electrode 15 located below the first surface of the interlayer film 14.

[0090] When the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is larger than that of the second resonant structure E2, the optical distance L1 that satisfies the resonance condition in the first resonant structure E1 is longer than the optical distance L2 that satisfies the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2. When the refractive index of the first electrode 15 is larger than that of the interlayer film 14, the larger the portion P of the first electrode 15, the longer the optical distance can be. Therefore, the portion P is formed in the first electrode 15 so as to satisfy the optical distance L1 that satisfies the resonance condition in the first resonant structure E1 and the optical distance L2 that satisfies the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2.

[0091] [3 Third embodiment] [3-1 Display Device Configuration] A display device 10 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Similar to the first and second embodiments, the display device 10 according to the third embodiment includes a resonator structure 102, which is configured to differentiate the resonance orders of the first and second resonant structures E1 and E2. In the third embodiment, the configuration in which the resonance orders of the first and second resonant structures E1 and E2 are differentiated is achieved by adjusting the thickness of the insulating layer 12 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp to a value corresponding to the resonance orders in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the resonance orders in the first region Sc. The third embodiment is similar to the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, except for the configuration in which the resonance orders of the first and second resonant structures E1 and E2 are differentiated.

[0092] In the display device 10 according to the third embodiment, the configuration for differentiating the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 may be used in combination with one or both of the configurations for differentiating the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 shown in the first and second embodiments. In the third embodiment, the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc and the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp may be the same as shown in Fig. 9, or the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc and the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp may be different as shown in Fig. 1 or 3. Furthermore, the thickness of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the first region Sc and the thickness of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp may be different as shown in Fig. 5.

[0093] A method for determining the thickness of the insulating layer 12 in the display device 10 according to the third embodiment will be described. Taking the case where the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1 as an example, the thickness of the insulating layer 12 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp can be determined as follows. Note that an example where the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1 is when the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 is 1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is 2.

[0094] From Equation 1 and Equation 2 of the resonance conditions described in the first embodiment, the optical distance L1 in the first resonant structure E1 and the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 are determined according to the conditions of φ and λ in the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2 and the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2. When the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1, the optical distance L2 is longer than the optical distance L1. For example, when the refractive index and thickness of each layer of the insulating layer 12 are the same in the portion corresponding to the first region Sc and the portion corresponding to the second region Sp, the thickness of each layer forming the resonator structure 102 is determined based on the values ​​of L1 and L2 and the refractive index of each layer forming the resonator structure 102. This determines the thickness of each layer required to achieve the optical distance L1 in the first resonant structure E1, and also determines the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12. That is, the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12 required to achieve the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is specified. Based on this value, the thickness of the insulating layer 12 is determined in accordance with the refractive index of the insulating layer 12. In this way, by setting the thickness of the insulating layer 12 to a predetermined value in the resonator structure 102, it is possible to achieve a state in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure and the resonance order of the second resonant structure are different while satisfying the resonance condition.

[0095] [3-2 Action and Effects] According to the display device 10 of the third embodiment, similarly to the display device of the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0096] [4 Fourth embodiment] [4-1 Display Device Configuration] A display device 10 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Similar to the first to third embodiments, the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment includes a resonator structure 102, which is configured to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2. In the fourth embodiment, the configuration in which the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2 are differentiated is achieved by setting the refractive index of the insulating layer 12 in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp to a value corresponding to the resonance orders of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the first region Sc. The fourth embodiment is similar to the display device 10 according to the first embodiment, except for the configuration in which the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2 are differentiated.

[0097] In the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment, the configuration for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be used in combination with one or more of the configurations for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 shown in the first to third embodiments. In the fourth embodiment, the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc may be the same as the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp, as shown in Fig. 9, or the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc may be different from the thickness of the portion of the reflector 13 corresponding to the second region Sp, as shown in Fig. 1 or 3. Furthermore, the thickness of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the first region Sc may be different from the thickness of the portion of the first electrode 15 corresponding to the second region Sp, as shown in Fig. 5.

[0098] A method for determining the refractive index of the insulating layer 12 for the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment will be described. As described in the third embodiment, the optical distance L1 in the first resonant structure E1 and the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 are determined based on the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2, respectively, from Equations 1 and 2 of the resonance conditions described in the first embodiment. The thicknesses of the layers forming the resonant structure 102 are determined based on the values ​​of L1 and L2 and the refractive indexes of the layers forming the resonant structure 102, and the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12 required to achieve the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is determined. If the thickness of the insulating layer 12 is not specified, the combination of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12 is determined based on the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12. The combination of the refractive index and thickness of the insulating layer 12 corresponds to the resonance orders in the portion corresponding to the second region Sp and the portion corresponding to the first region Sc. That is, depending on the combination of the refractive index of the insulating layer 12 and the thickness of the insulating layer 12, the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 can be made different.

[0099] Furthermore, when the thickness of the insulating layer 12 is specified, the refractive index of the insulating layer 12 is determined according to the thickness of the insulating layer 12. In this way, by setting the refractive index of the insulating layer 12 to a predetermined value in the resonator structure 102, it is possible to achieve a state in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure and the resonance order of the second resonant structure are different from each other while satisfying the above-described resonance conditions of Equation 1 and Equation 2.

[0100] In the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment, when the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1 (first case) (for example, when the resonance order of the first resonant structure is 1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure is 2), the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is defined as L2Q. In the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment, when the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is smaller than that of the first resonant structure E1 (second case) (for example, when the resonance order of the first resonant structure is 2 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure is 1), the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure is defined as L2R. When the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 in the first case is larger than that of the second resonant structure E2 in the second case, L2Q is larger than L2R. Therefore, the insulating layer 12 in the first case can be formed by forming a layer having a refractive index higher than that of the insulating layer 12 in the second case. The insulating layer 12 in the second case can be formed by forming a layer having a refractive index lower than that of the insulating layer 12 in the first case. In this way, for the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment, the insulating layer 12 can be formed so as to realize a state in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 are different in both the first and second cases.

[0101] [4-2 Action and Effects] According to the display device 10 of the fourth embodiment, similarly to the display device of the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0102] [5 Fifth embodiment] [5-1 Display Device Configuration] A display device 10 according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Similar to the first embodiment, the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment includes a resonator structure 102, which is configured to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2. In the fifth embodiment, the configuration to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2 is achieved by, as shown in FIG. 10 , setting different refractive indices for a portion (first film portion 140A) of the interlayer film 14 corresponding to the first region Sc and a portion (second film portion 140B) corresponding to the second region Sp according to the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2. Other than the configuration to differentiate the resonance orders of the first resonator structure E1 and the second resonator structure E2, the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment is the same as the display device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a configuration of the display device 10 according to the second embodiment.

[0103] In the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment, the configuration for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 may be used in combination with any one or more of the configurations shown in the first to fourth embodiments for differentiating the resonance order of the first resonant structure E1 from the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2.

[0104] A method for determining the refractive index of the first film portion 140A and the refractive index of the second film portion 140B for the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment will be described. As described in the third and fourth embodiments, the optical distance L1 in the first resonant structure E1 and the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 are determined based on the resonance orders of the first resonant structure E1 and the second resonant structure E2, respectively, from Equation 1 and Equation 2, which are the resonance conditions described in the first embodiment. The thicknesses of the layers forming the resonant structure 102 are determined based on the values ​​of L1 and L2 and the refractive indices of the layers forming the resonant structure 102. At this time, the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the first film portion 140A required to achieve the optical distance L1 in the first resonant structure E1 is determined. Furthermore, the value of the product of the refractive index and thickness of the second film portion 140B required to achieve the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is determined. Based on these values, the refractive index of the first film portion 140A is determined according to the thickness of the first film portion 140A, and the refractive index of the second film portion 140B is determined according to the thickness of the second film portion 140B. In this way, in the resonator structure 102, by setting the refractive indexes of the first film portion 140A and the second film portion 140B to predetermined values, it is possible to realize a state in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure and the resonance order of the second resonant structure are made different from each other while satisfying the above-mentioned resonance conditions of Equation 1 and Equation 2.

[0105] In the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment, when the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is larger than that of the first resonant structure E1 (first case) (for example, when the resonance order of the first resonant structure is 1 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure is 2), the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is defined as L2Q. In the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment, when the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 is smaller than that of the first resonant structure E1 (second case) (for example, when the resonance order of the first resonant structure is 2 and the resonance order of the second resonant structure is 1), the optical distance L2 in the second resonant structure E2 is defined as L2R. When the resonance order of the second resonant structure E2 in the first case is larger than that of the second resonant structure E2 in the second case, L2Q is larger than L2R. Therefore, the second film portion 140B in the first case can be formed by forming a layer (high refractive index layer) having a higher refractive index than the second film portion 140B in the second case as the second film portion 140B in the first case.The second film portion 140B in the second case can be formed by forming a layer (low refractive index layer) having a lower refractive index than the second film portion 140B in the first case as the second film portion 140B.The first film portion 140A forms a layer (low refractive index layer) having a lower refractive index than the first film portion 140A in the second case in the first case, and forms a layer (high refractive index layer) having a higher refractive index than the first film portion 140A in the first case in the second case. Thus, in the display device 10 according to the fourth embodiment, in both the first and second cases, the interlayer film 14 can be provided with a first film portion 140A and a second film portion 140B so as to realize a state in which the resonance order of the first resonant structure and the resonance order of the second resonant structure are different.

[0106] In the display device 10 according to the fifth embodiment, examples of methods for making the first film portion 140A and the second film portion 140B low-refractive index layers and high-refractive index layers include a method of adjusting the composition or density of the first film portion 140A and the second film portion 140B in the interlayer film 14, or a method of adjusting the physical structure. Examples of methods for adjusting the physical structure include a method of forming a crystalline structure or an amorphous structure in the first film portion 140A or the second film portion 140B. The method of forming a crystalline structure or an amorphous structure in the first film portion 140A or the second film portion 140B can be achieved by adjusting the state of the first surface of the reflector 13.

[0107] [5-2 Action and Effects] According to the display device 10 of the fifth embodiment, similarly to the display device of the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress color misalignment between the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0108] Next, an example of an embodiment of a method for manufacturing the display device 10 according to an embodiment (first embodiment) of the present disclosure will be described.

[0109] [6. Display device manufacturing method] [6-1 First embodiment of manufacturing method] In the first embodiment of the manufacturing method, an interlayer film 14A is formed on a first surface of a drive substrate 11 having a drive circuit formed on a substrate 11A.

[0110] As shown in FIG. 11A, a coating 30 made of a material for forming the reflector 13 is formed on the interlayer film 14A. Aluminum or the like is preferably used as the material for the coating 30 from the viewpoints of ease of handling and high reflectivity. The coating 30 can be formed by etching or the like. A resist 31 is formed on the coating 30 in an area corresponding to the first region Sc of the reflector 13 (FIG. 11B), and dry etching is performed (first dry etching). In the first dry etching, the thickness of the exposed portion (non-resist portion) of the coating 30 is set to the thickness of the portion corresponding to the second region Sp of the reflector 13 (FIG. 11C). This thickness is determined according to the optical distance L2 that satisfies the resonance condition required for the portion of the resonator structure 102 corresponding to the second region Sp.

[0111] Next, the resist 31 is removed (FIG. 11D), and then a resist 32 is formed in an area corresponding to the portion where the reflector 13 is to be formed (FIG. 11E), followed by dry etching (second dry etching) (FIG. 11F). The resist 32 is then removed. As a result, the reflector 13 is formed on the interlayer film 14A (FIG. 11G). The process after the reflector 13 is formed can be carried out, for example, as follows.

[0112] The interlayer film 14B is formed so as to cover the reflector 13. This forms the interlayer film 14. Examples of methods for forming the interlayer films 14A and 14B include coating methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, and die coating.

[0113] A first electrode 15 is formed on the interlayer film 14, and an insulating layer 12 is further laminated thereon. A plurality of first electrodes 15 are formed according to the arrangement of the sub-pixels 101, and openings 120 are formed in the insulating layer 12 according to the pattern of the sub-pixels 101. The first electrodes 15 and the insulating layer 12 can be formed by, for example, sputtering, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), or ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition).

[0114] An organic EL layer 17 is formed on the first electrode 15 and the insulating layer 12. For example, when the organic EL layer 17 has a laminated structure in which a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer are laminated in this order, layers forming the electron transport layer, the light emitting layer, and the hole transport layer are laminated in this order. Examples of methods for forming these layers include coating methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, and die coating.

[0115] A second electrode 18 and a protective layer 19 are formed on the organic EL layer 17. The second electrode 18 and the protective layer 19 can be formed by appropriately using a conventionally known method or the like.

[0116] A color filter layer 103 may be formed on the protective layer 19. A filled resin layer 104 may be formed on the protective layer 19. An opposing substrate 105 may be disposed on the filled resin layer 104. The color filter layer 103 and the filled resin layer 104 and the opposing substrate 105 may be formed by appropriately using a conventionally known method, etc. In this manner, the display device 10 is formed.

[0117] The method for manufacturing the display device 10 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be the following method (second embodiment of the manufacturing method).

[0118] [6-2 Second embodiment of manufacturing method] In the same manner as in the first embodiment of the manufacturing method, an interlayer film 14A is formed on the first surface of the drive substrate 11 having the drive circuit formed on the substrate 11A.

[0119] A coating 30 made of a material for forming the reflector 13 is formed on the interlayer film 14A. As with the first embodiment of the manufacturing method, aluminum or the like is preferably used as the material. Resist 31 is formed on the coating 30 in an area corresponding to the first region Sc of the reflector 13, and dry etching is performed (first dry etching) ( FIG. 12A ). In this first dry etching, the portion of the coating 30 outside the area corresponding to the first region Sc of the reflector 13 is removed, leaving the portion corresponding to the first region Sc of the reflector 13. Next, the resist 31 is removed, and a coating (additional coating 33) made of a material for forming the reflector 13 is formed on the coating 30 and the interlayer film 14A ( FIG. 12B ). The material for forming the additional coating 33 can be the same as the material for forming the coating 30. However, this does not mean that the material for forming the additional coating 33 is limited to the same as the material for forming the coating 30; the material for forming the additional coating 33 may be different from the material for forming the coating 30. For example, the coating 30 may be made of aluminum (Al) and the additional coating 33 may be made of silver (Ag).

[0120] A resist 34 is formed on the additional coating 33 in an area corresponding to the portion where the reflector 13 is to be formed (FIG. 12C), and dry etching is performed (second dry etching) (FIG. 12D). The resist 34 is then removed. As a result, the reflector 13 is formed on the interlayer film 14A (FIG. 12E). The thicknesses of the coating 30 and the additional coating 33 are determined depending on the thicknesses of the portions of the reflector 13 corresponding to the first region Sc and the second region Sp.

[0121] The steps after the reflector 13 is formed may be carried out in the same manner as the steps after the reflector 13 is formed as described in the first embodiment of the manufacturing method above. In this way, the display device 10 can be manufactured.
