[0014] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in the following order. 1. First embodiment (an example of a display device) 2. Second embodiment (an example of a display device) 3. Modifications (Modifications of the display device) 4 Application examples (electronic devices)

[0015] <1 First Embodiment> [Display device configuration] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of a display device 100 according to a first embodiment. The display device 100 includes a drive substrate 101 and a plurality of pixels 102. The plurality of pixels 102 are two-dimensionally arranged on a first surface of the drive substrate 101 in a specified arrangement pattern such as a matrix. The display device 100 is, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) display. The display device 100 is an example of a light-emitting device.

[0016] In the following description, in each layer and member constituting the display device 10, the surface facing the display surface of the display device 10 is referred to as the first surface, and the surface opposite the display surface is referred to as the second surface. The first direction (horizontal direction) and second direction (vertical direction) that are orthogonal within the first surface of the drive substrate 101 are referred to as the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively, and the direction perpendicular to the first surface of the drive substrate 101 is referred to as the Z-axis direction.

[0017] (Drive substrate 101) The drive substrate 101 is a so-called backplane. The drive substrate 101 drives a plurality of pixels 102. As shown in FIG. 2B , a plurality of pads 51, a plurality of pads 52, and a plurality of pads 53 are provided on a first surface of the drive substrate 101. Although not shown, a plurality of drive circuits, a driver for video display, and the like are also provided on the first surface of the drive substrate 101.

[0018] The substrate body of the drive substrate 101 may be made of, for example, a semiconductor that allows for easy formation of transistors, etc., or glass or resin with low moisture and oxygen permeability. Specifically, the substrate body may be a semiconductor substrate, glass substrate, resin substrate, etc. Semiconductor substrates include, for example, amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, or single crystal silicon. Glass substrates include, for example, high strain point glass, soda glass, borosilicate glass, forsterite, lead glass, or quartz glass. Resin substrates include, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl phenol, polyether sulfone, polyimide, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate.

[0019] (Pixel 102) FIG. 2A is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of a pixel 102. FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the pixel 102 when viewed from the direction of arrow 102A in FIG. 2A. The pixel 102 has a rectangular shape in a plan view. In this specification, a rectangular shape also includes a square shape. In this specification, a plan view means viewing an object from the Z-axis direction (a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the drive substrate 101). Note that the shape of the pixel 102 may be a quadrilateral shape other than a square shape (for example, a rhombus or a parallelogram).

[0020] (First layer L1, second layer L2) The display device 100 sequentially includes a drive substrate 101, a first layer L1, and a second layer L2. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of the first layer L1. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of the second layer L2. As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3, the first layer L1 includes a plurality of first compound semiconductor light-emitting elements (hereinafter simply referred to as "first light-emitting elements") 10R, a plurality of wirings 13, and an insulating material 14. As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 4, the second layer L2 includes a plurality of second compound semiconductor light-emitting elements (hereinafter simply referred to as "second light-emitting elements") 20G, a plurality of third compound semiconductor light-emitting elements (hereinafter simply referred to as "third light-emitting elements") 30B, a plurality of wirings 23, a plurality of wirings 33, and an insulating material 24. The display device 100 further includes a plurality of connection members 52A and a plurality of connection members 53A provided across the first layer L1 and the second layer L2.

[0021] The first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B are arranged with a shift in the in-plane direction. This prevents the red light emitted from the first light-emitting element 10R from being blocked by the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B. The second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B are spaced apart in a planar view. The first light-emitting element 10R is disposed between the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B in a planar view. In this specification, the in-plane direction refers to a direction parallel to the first surface of the drive substrate 101. One pixel 102 is composed of one first light-emitting element 10R, one second light-emitting element 20G, and one third light-emitting element 30B.

[0022] (First light-emitting element 10R) The first light-emitting element 10R constitutes a first sub-pixel. The first light-emitting element 10R can emit red light. Red light is an example of first light having a first peak wavelength. The first light-emitting element 10R has a hexagonal shape in a planar view. The hexagonal shape has a pair of opposing, substantially right-angled corners. The first light-emitting element 10R is arranged in the pixel 102 so that a diagonal line connecting the pair of corners overlaps with a first diagonal line of the rectangular pixel 102. A plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R are provided in an insulating material 14. The plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R are arranged two-dimensionally in the in-plane direction in a specified arrangement pattern, such as a matrix.

[0023] The first light-emitting element 10R has a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region (first region) 10A1 and a light-emitting region (second region) 10A2 on its first surface. The non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 is provided on the periphery of the first light-emitting element 10R and is a region that is unable to emit red light or can only emit red light with a lower emission intensity than the light-emitting region 10A2. The non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 is a region of a specified width extending inward from the periphery of the first surface of the first light-emitting element 10R. The non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 has a closed loop shape.

[0024] Light-emitting region 10A2 is provided inside non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 and is a region capable of emitting red light. Light-emitting region 10A2 has, for example, a shape similar to that of first light-emitting element 10R in plan view.

[0025] 5A is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a first light-emitting element 10R. The first light-emitting element 10R is, for example, a red LED element. The first light-emitting element 10R includes a compound semiconductor stack 11R and an electrode 12. The compound semiconductor stack 11R has a first surface and a second surface. The compound semiconductor stack 11R includes, in order on the first surface of the electrode 12, a first compound semiconductor layer 111, a light-emitting layer (first light-emitting layer) 112, and a second compound semiconductor layer 113.

[0026] 6, the compound semiconductor stack 11R and the electrode 12 are separated between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R, thereby making it possible to suppress leakage of electrons and holes between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R.

[0027] The light-emitting layer 112 can emit red light. The first compound semiconductor layer 111, the light-emitting layer 112, and the second compound semiconductor layer 113 each include, for example, an AlGaInP-based compound semiconductor or an AlGaInAs-based compound semiconductor. In the light-emitting layer 112 including an AlGaInP-based compound semiconductor or an AlGaInAs-based compound semiconductor, a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 and a light-emitting region 10A2 are generated on the first surface of the first light-emitting element 10R. However, the compound semiconductors that generate such regions on the first surface of the first light-emitting element 10R are not limited to the above materials. The first compound semiconductor layer 111 has a first conductivity type, and the second compound semiconductor layer 113 has a second conductivity type that is opposite to the first conductivity type. The first conductivity type may be n-type and the second conductivity type may be p-type, or the first conductivity type may be p-type and the second conductivity type may be n-type. That is, the first light emitting element 10R may be connected in a common anode manner or in a common cathode manner.

[0028] When the light-emitting layer 112 contains an AlGaInP-based material or an AlGaInAs-based material, the phenomenon of no red light emission or low red light emission in the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 becomes more pronounced. Therefore, when the light-emitting layer 112 contains an AlGaInP-based material or an AlGaInAs-based material, the area S R is the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G. B and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B It is particularly effective to set it larger than

[0029] The electrode 12 is provided on the second surface of the compound semiconductor stack 11R. The electrode 12 is connected to the pad 51 of the drive substrate 101 via a bump 51A serving as a connecting member. The compound semiconductor stack 11R may be directly bonded to the first surface of the drive substrate 101 by wafer bonding or the like. In this case, the electrode 12, the bump 51A, and the pad 51 may not be provided.

[0030] Electrode 12 contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of gold (Au), silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), and indium (In). Electrode 12 may contain at least one of the above metals as a constituent element of an alloy.

[0031] The electrode 12 has, for example, a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. Examples of multilayer structures include Ti / Au, Ti / Al, Ti / Pt / Au, Ti / Al / Au, Ni / Au, AuGe / Ni / Au, Ni / Au / Pt, Ni / Pt, Pd / Pt, and Ag / Pd. When the electrode 12 has a multilayer structure, the layer before the " / " in the multilayer structure is located closer to the active layer.

[0032] (Second light-emitting element 20G) The second light-emitting element 20G constitutes a second sub-pixel. The second light-emitting element 20G can emit green light. The green light is an example of a second light having a second peak wavelength different from the first peak wavelength. The second light-emitting element 20G has a quadrangular shape, such as a square, in a plan view.

[0033] A plurality of second light-emitting elements 20G are provided in an insulating material 24. The plurality of second light-emitting elements 20G are two-dimensionally arranged in a predetermined arrangement pattern, such as a matrix, in the in-plane direction. The second light-emitting elements 20G are arranged offset from the first light-emitting elements 10R in the in-plane direction. The second light-emitting elements 20G are arranged on a second diagonal line of the rectangular pixel 102.

[0034] The second light-emitting element 20G overlaps a part of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This allows the pixels 102 to be miniaturized, thereby enabling the display device 100 to have a high definition. In addition, the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of suppressing the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R, it is preferable that the second light-emitting element 20G be located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view.

[0035] The second light-emitting element 20G is preferably located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view and overlaps a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. Specifically, it is preferable that a first portion of the second light-emitting element 20G overlaps the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view, and a second portion of the second light-emitting element 20G overlaps an outer region of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This makes it possible to miniaturize the pixel 102 while suppressing the effect of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0036] The second light-emitting element 20G has a light-emitting region on substantially the entire first surface (including the entire first surface). In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which the second light-emitting element 20G has a light-emitting region on substantially the entire first surface of the second light-emitting element 20G, but the second light-emitting element 20G may have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region on the first surface of the second light-emitting element 20G that is narrower than the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. The second light-emitting element 20G is mounted on the first layer L1 by, for example, a mass transfer process.

[0037] 5B is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a second light-emitting element 20G. The second light-emitting element 20G is, for example, a green LED element. The second light-emitting element 20G includes a compound semiconductor stack 21G and an electrode 22. The compound semiconductor stack 21G has a first surface and a second surface. The compound semiconductor stack 21G includes, sequentially on the first surface of the electrode 22, a first compound semiconductor layer 121, a light-emitting layer (second light-emitting layer) 122, and a second compound semiconductor layer 123.

[0038] The light-emitting layer 122 can emit green light. The first compound semiconductor layer 121, the light-emitting layer 122, and the second compound semiconductor layer 123 may each include, for example, an AlGaInN-based compound semiconductor. In the light-emitting layer 122 including an AlGaInN-based compound semiconductor, substantially the entire first surface of the second light-emitting element 20G serves as a light-emitting region. However, the compound semiconductors that form substantially the entire first surface of the second light-emitting element 20G as a light-emitting region are not limited to the above materials. The first compound semiconductor layer 121 has a first conductivity type, and the second compound semiconductor layer 123 has a second conductivity type that is the opposite conductivity type to the first conductivity type. The first conductivity type may be n-type and the second conductivity type may be p-type, or the first conductivity type may be p-type and the second conductivity type may be n-type. That is, the second light-emitting element 20G may be connected with a common anode or a common cathode.

[0039] The electrode 22 is provided on the second surface of the compound semiconductor stack 21G. The electrode 22 is connected to a pad 52 of the drive substrate 101 by a connection member 52A. The connection member 52A is preferably located outside the first light-emitting element 10R in a plan view. This makes it possible to suppress a reduction in the light-emitting area 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R. The connection member 52A is, for example, a via. The electrode 22 has a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The electrode 22 may contain the same material as the electrode 12.

[0040] (Third light-emitting element 30B) The third light-emitting element 30B constitutes a third sub-pixel. The third light-emitting element 30B can emit blue light. The blue light is an example of third light having a third peak wavelength different from the first peak wavelength and the second peak wavelength. The third light-emitting element 30B has a quadrangular shape, such as a square, in a plan view.

[0041] The plurality of third light-emitting elements 30B are provided in an insulating material 24. The plurality of third light-emitting elements 30B are two-dimensionally arranged in a predetermined arrangement pattern such as a matrix in the in-plane direction. The third light-emitting elements 30B are arranged so as to be shifted from the first light-emitting elements 10R in the in-plane direction. The third light-emitting element 30B is disposed on the second diagonal of the rectangular pixel 102. The direction of displacement of the third light-emitting element 30B relative to the first light-emitting element 10R is opposite to the direction of displacement of the second light-emitting element 20G relative to the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0042] The third light-emitting element 30B overlaps a part of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This allows the pixels 102 to be miniaturized, thereby enabling the display device 100 to have a high definition. In addition, the influence of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of suppressing the influence of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R, it is preferable that the third light-emitting element 30B be located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view.

[0043] The third light-emitting element 30B is preferably located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view and overlaps a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. Specifically, it is preferable that a first portion of the third light-emitting element 30B overlaps the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view, and a second portion of the third light-emitting element 30B overlaps an outer region of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This makes it possible to miniaturize the pixel 102 while suppressing the effect of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0044] The third light-emitting element 30B has a light-emitting region on substantially the entire first surface (including the entire first surface). In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which the third light-emitting element 30B has a light-emitting region on substantially the entire first surface of the third light-emitting element 30B. However, the third light-emitting element 30B may have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region on the first surface of the third light-emitting element 30B that is narrower than the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. The third light-emitting element 30B is mounted on the first layer L1 by, for example, a mass transfer process.

[0045] 5C is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a third light-emitting element 30B. The third light-emitting element 30B is, for example, a blue LED element. The third light-emitting element 30B includes a compound semiconductor stack 31B and an electrode 32. The compound semiconductor stack 31B has a first surface and a second surface. The compound semiconductor stack 31B includes, in order on the second surface of the electrode 32, a first compound semiconductor layer 131, a light-emitting layer (third light-emitting layer) 132, and a second compound semiconductor layer 133.

[0046] The light-emitting layer 132 can emit blue light. The first compound semiconductor layer 131, the light-emitting layer 132, and the second compound semiconductor layer 133 may each include, for example, an AlGaInN-based compound semiconductor. When the light-emitting layer 132 includes an AlGaInN-based compound semiconductor, substantially the entire first surface of the third light-emitting element 30B becomes a light-emitting region. However, the compound semiconductors that make substantially the entire first surface of the third light-emitting element 30B a light-emitting region are not limited to the above materials. The first compound semiconductor layer 131 has a first conductivity type, and the second compound semiconductor layer 133 has a second conductivity type that is the opposite conductivity type to the first conductivity type. The first conductivity type may be n-type and the second conductivity type may be p-type, or the first conductivity type may be p-type and the second conductivity type may be n-type. That is, the third light-emitting element 30B may be connected with a common anode or a common cathode.

[0047] The electrode 32 is provided on the second surface of the compound semiconductor stack 31B. The electrode 32 is connected to a pad 53 of the drive substrate 101 by a connection member 53A. The connection member 53A is preferably located outside the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This makes it possible to suppress a reduction in the light-emitting area 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R. The connection member 53A is, for example, a via. The electrode 32 has a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The electrode 32 may contain the same material as the electrode 12.

[0048] (Sizes of the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B) In the first light-emitting element (e.g., red LED element) 10R capable of emitting red light, the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 as described above occurs. On the other hand, in the second light-emitting element (e.g., green LED element) 20G capable of emitting green light and the third light-emitting element (e.g., blue LED element) 30B capable of emitting blue light, the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region seen in the first light-emitting element 10R does not occur, or even if a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region occurs, the area of ​​the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region is extremely small compared to the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0049] Therefore, when the first light-emitting element 10R is miniaturized, the ratio of the area of ​​the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 to the area of ​​the light-emitting region 10A2 increases, and there is a risk of the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element 10R decreasing. On the other hand, even when the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B are miniaturized, there is little risk of the light-emitting efficiency decreasing as in the case of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0050] In the first embodiment, in order to suppress a decrease in the light emitting efficiency of the first light emitting element 10R, the area S R is the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G. B and the area S of the first light-emitting element 10R is R is the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B. B In this specification, the area S of the first light-emitting element 10R is R , the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G B and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B Each of these means the area in a plan view (i.e., the area of ​​the first surface).

[0051] The area of ​​the first light-emitting element 10R is preferably larger than ⅓ of the area of ​​one pixel 102. This makes it possible to suppress a decrease in the luminance of the first light-emitting element 10R even if the first light-emitting element 10R has the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1.

[0052] The area S of the first light-emitting element 10R R and the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B The sum of S RGB (=S R +S G +S B ) is the area S of one pixel 102 P and the area S of one pixel 102 is larger than PIX It is preferable that the area is smaller than three times the area S R , S G , S B The sum of S RGBand the area S of one pixel 102 PIX But, S RGB >S PIX , S RGB PIX It is preferable to satisfy the relationship of ×3.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 7, the area S of the first light emitting element 10R R and the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B The sum of S RGB , and the area S of one pixel 102 PIX In the example shown in FIG. 7, the area S R , the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G , the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B , area S R , S G , S B The sum of S RGB , and the area S of one pixel 102 PIX is as follows: The area S of the first light-emitting element 10R R :4.0μm×4.0μm=16.0μm 2 The area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G :2.3μm×2.3μm=5.3μm 2 The area S of the third light emitting element 30B B :2.3μm×2.3μm=5.3μm 2 Area S R , area S G and area S B The sum of S RGB (=S R +S G +S B ): 26.6 μm 2 The area S of one pixel 102 PIX :5.0μm×5.0μm=25.0μm 2

[0054] As mentioned above, S RGB =26.6μm​2 , S PIX =25.0μm 2 Therefore, S RGB >S PIX The area S of one pixel 102 satisfies the following relationship. PIX 3 times (S PIX ×3) is 25.0 μm 2 ×3=75.0μm 2 Therefore, S RGB PIX Satisfies the ×3 relationship.

[0055] The area S of the first light-emitting element 10R R and the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B The sum of S RGB (=S R +S G +S B ) is the area S of one pixel 102 PIX When the distance is greater than 1 time, the size of the pixel 102 can be made smaller than that of a pixel in which the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B are densely arranged in the same plane.

[0056] The area S of the first light-emitting element 10R R and the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B The sum of S RGB (=S R +S G +S B ) is the area S of one pixel 102 PIX When the distance is smaller than three times, it is possible to prevent the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B from overlapping excessively. For example, when the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B have the same shape and size, it is possible to prevent the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B from completely overlapping.

[0057] (carrier diffusion wavelength) ​The carrier diffusion length of the light emitting layer 112 of the first light emitting element 10R is longer than the carrier diffusion length of the light emitting layer 122 of the second light emitting element 20G. When the light emitting layers 112 and 122 have such a relationship in carrier diffusion length, the light emitting layers 112 and 122 have the light emitting characteristics shown in (1) or (2) below. (1) The first light-emitting element 10R has a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface of the first light-emitting element 10R, whereas the second light-emitting element 20G does not substantially have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface of the second light-emitting element 20G. (2) Both the first light-emitting element 10R and the second light-emitting element 20G have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface, but the width of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the second light-emitting element 20G is narrower than the width of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0058] The carrier diffusion length of the light-emitting layer 112 of the first light-emitting element 10R is longer than the carrier diffusion length of the light-emitting layer 132 of the third light-emitting element 30B. When the light-emitting layers 112 and 132 have such a relationship in carrier diffusion length, the light-emitting layers 112 and 122 have the light-emitting characteristics shown in (3) or (4) below. (3) The first light-emitting element 10R has a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface of the first light-emitting element 10R, whereas the third light-emitting element 30B does not substantially have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface of the third light-emitting element 30B. (4) Both the first light-emitting element 10R and the third light-emitting element 30B have a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 on the first surface, but the width of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the third light-emitting element 30B is narrower than the width of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0059] (Wire 13, Wire 23, Wire 33) The wiring 13 electrically connects the plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R arranged in a row in the X-axis direction. The wiring 13 is provided on an insulating material 14. Each of the plurality of wirings 13 extends in the X-axis direction. Adjacent wirings 13 in the Y-axis direction are separated by a specified distance. The wiring 13 is connected to the first surface of the compound semiconductor stack 11R of each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R arranged in a row in the X-axis direction. The wiring 13 includes a transparent wiring 13A and a plurality of metal wirings 13B. The plurality of metal wirings 13B are each provided at specified intervals on the first surface of the transparent wiring 13A. The metal wirings 13B are auxiliary members for reducing the resistance of the wiring 13.

[0060] The transparent wiring 13A is transparent to visible light. The transparent wiring 13A includes, for example, a transparent conductive material. The transparent conductive material preferably includes a transparent conductive oxide. Examples of the transparent conductive oxide include indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO, including Sn-doped In2O3, crystalline ITO, and amorphous ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium gallium oxide (IGO), indium-doped gallium zinc oxide (IGZO, In-GaZnO4), IFO (F-doped In2O3), tin oxide (SnO2), ATO (Sb-doped SnO2), FTO (F-doped SnO2), zinc oxide (including ZnO, Al-doped ZnO, B-doped ZnO, and Ga-doped ZnO), antimony oxide, a spinel-type oxide, or an oxide having a YbFe2O4 structure. The transparent wiring 13A may be a transparent conductive layer having a base layer of gallium oxide, titanium oxide, niobium oxide, nickel oxide, or the like.

[0061] The metal wiring 13B contains at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of chromium (Cr), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), tungsten (W), and silver (Ag). The metal wiring 13B may contain at least one of the above metal elements as a constituent element of an alloy.

[0062] The wiring 23 electrically connects the plurality of second light-emitting elements 20G arranged in a line in the Y-axis direction. The wiring 33 electrically connects the plurality of third light-emitting elements 30B arranged in a line in the Y-axis direction. The wiring 23 and the wiring 33 are provided on an insulating material 24. Each of the plurality of wirings 23 extends in the Y-axis direction. Similarly, each of the plurality of wirings 33 also extends in the Y-axis direction. The wirings 23 and the wiring 33 are provided alternately in the X-axis direction. Adjacent wirings 23 and 33 in the X-axis direction are separated by a specified distance. The wiring 23 is connected to the first surfaces of the compound semiconductor stacks 21G of the plurality of second light-emitting elements 20G arranged in a line in the Y-axis direction. The wiring 33 is connected to the first surfaces of the compound semiconductor stacks 31B of the plurality of third light-emitting elements 30B arranged in a line in the Y-axis direction.

[0063] The wiring 23 includes a transparent wiring 23A and a plurality of metal wirings 23B. The plurality of metal wirings 23B are each provided on the first surface of the transparent wiring 23A at a specified interval in the longitudinal direction of the wiring 23. The metal wirings 23B are auxiliary members for reducing the resistance of the wiring 23. The wiring 33 includes a transparent wiring 33A and a plurality of metal wirings 33B. The plurality of metal wirings 33B are each provided on the first surface of the transparent wiring 33A at a specified interval in the longitudinal direction of the wiring 23.

The transparent wiring 23A and the transparent wiring 33A may contain the same material as the transparent wiring 13A. The metal wirings 23B and the metal wiring 33B may contain the same material as the metal wiring 13B.

[0064] In a plan view, the wiring 23 is preferably located outside the light-emitting regions 10A2 of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a line in the Y-axis direction. This makes it possible to suppress the influence of the wiring 23 on the light extraction of the first light-emitting elements 10R. In a plan view, the wiring 33 is preferably located outside the light-emitting regions 10A2 of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a line in the Y-axis direction. This makes it possible to suppress the influence of the wiring 33 on the light extraction of the first light-emitting elements 10R.

[0065] In plan view, the wiring 23 is preferably located outside the light-emitting regions 10A2 of the first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a row in the Y-axis direction and overlaps with a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting regions 10A1 of the first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a row in the Y-axis direction. In this case, the influence of the wiring 23 on the light extraction of the first light-emitting elements 10R can be suppressed, and the distance between the wiring 23 and the wiring 33 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction can be made narrower.

[0066] In a plan view, the wiring 33 is preferably located outside the light-emitting regions 10A2 of the first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a line in the Y-axis direction and overlaps with a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting regions 10A1 of the first light-emitting elements 10R aligned in a line in the Y-axis direction. In this case, the influence of the wiring 33 on the light extraction of the first light-emitting elements 10R can be suppressed, and the distance between the wiring 23 and the wiring 33 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction can be made narrower.

[0067] (Insulating materials 14, 24) The insulating material 14 and the insulating material 24 may be an organic insulating material, an inorganic insulating material, or a laminate thereof. The organic insulating material includes at least one selected from the group consisting of, for example, polyimide resin, acrylic resin, and novolac resin. The inorganic insulating material includes, for example, silicon oxide (SiO x ), silicon nitride (SiN x ) and silicon oxynitride (SiO x N y ) and the like.

[0068] [Action and effect] Conventional display devices include three-color (red, green, and blue) light-emitting elements (compound semiconductor light-emitting elements) in a single layer on the first surface of a drive substrate. Therefore, as pixel sizes become smaller, the sizes of the light-emitting elements of each color become smaller accordingly. Among the three-color light-emitting elements, the red light-emitting element (e.g., a red LED element) has a non-emitting / low-emitting region on its periphery. Therefore, as the size of the red light-emitting element becomes smaller, the ratio of the area of ​​the non-emitting / low-emitting region to the light-emitting region of the light-emitting element increases. Therefore, the luminous efficiency of the red compound semiconductor light-emitting element decreases.

[0069] On the other hand, the display device 100 according to the first embodiment includes a first layer L1 and a second layer L2 sequentially arranged on a first surface of a drive substrate 101. The second layer L2 includes two-color compound semiconductor light-emitting elements, the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B, while the first layer L1 includes a single-color compound semiconductor light-emitting element, the first light-emitting element 10R. This allows the size of the first light-emitting element 10R to be set independently of the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B. Therefore, even if the size of the pixel 102 is miniaturized, the size of the first light-emitting element 10R can be prevented from being reduced accordingly. This prevents an increase in the ratio of the area of ​​the non-light-emitting / low-light-emitting region 10A1 to the area of ​​the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R, thereby preventing a decrease in the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0070] In the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B are arranged with a shift in the in-plane direction, which makes it possible to suppress a decrease in brightness compared to a conventional display device (see Patent Document 1) in which light-emitting elements (compound semiconductor light-emitting elements) of three colors (red, green, and blue) are stacked. In the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the first light-emitting element 10R included in the first layer L1 is offset from the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B included in the second layer L2. This prevents the red light emitted from the first light-emitting element 10R from being blocked by the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B. This prevents a decrease in the brightness of the red light.

[0071] In the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the first layer L1 includes light-emitting elements of one color (first light-emitting element 10R), and the second layer L2 includes light-emitting elements of two colors (second light-emitting element 20G and third light-emitting element 30B). In contrast, in the conventional display device described above, a single layer includes light-emitting elements of three colors. Therefore, in the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the distance between the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B can be made wider than the distance between the three-color light-emitting elements in the conventional display device described above. Therefore, the mounting precision of the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B in the display device 100 according to the first embodiment can be relaxed compared to the mounting precision of the three-color light-emitting elements in the conventional display device. Furthermore, in the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the mounting precision of the first light emitting element 10R can be relaxed compared to the mounting precision of light emitting elements of three colors in a conventional display device.

[0072] In the display device 100 according to the first embodiment, the second light-emitting element 20G is located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view and overlaps with a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. The third light-emitting element 30B is located outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view and overlaps with a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 of the first light-emitting element 10R. This allows the pixel 102 to be miniaturized while suppressing the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction from the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0073] The wiring 23 is provided in a region outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. The wiring 33 is provided in a region outside the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. This makes it possible to suppress the influence of the wiring 23 and the wiring 33 on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0074] <2. Second embodiment> [Display device configuration] Fig. 8 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of a display device 200 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 9A is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of a pixel 202. Fig. 9B is a perspective view of the pixel 202 when viewed from the direction of arrow 202A in Fig. 9A. The display device 200 differs from the display device 100 according to the first embodiment in that it further includes a third layer L3 and includes a driving substrate 201 instead of the driving substrate 101.

[0075] (Drive substrate 201) The drive substrate 201 drives a plurality of pixels 202. On a first surface of the drive substrate 201, a plurality of pads 51, a plurality of pads 52, a plurality of pads 53, and a plurality of pads 54 are provided.

[0076] (Third layer L3) The third layer L3 is provided between the drive substrate 201 and the first layer L1. The third layer L3 includes a plurality of fourth compound semiconductor light-emitting elements (hereinafter simply referred to as "fourth light-emitting elements") 40R, a plurality of wirings 43, and an insulating material 44. One pixel 402 is composed of one first light-emitting element 10R, one second light-emitting element 20G, one third light-emitting element 30B, and one-quarter of the fourth light-emitting elements 40R.

[0077] (Fourth light-emitting element 40R) The fourth light-emitting element 40R constitutes a fourth sub-pixel. The fourth light-emitting element 40R can emit light of the same color as the first light-emitting element 10R, i.e., red light. Red light is an example of fourth light having a fourth peak wavelength. The fourth light-emitting element 40R has a hexagonal shape in plan view. The fourth light-emitting element 40R is arranged so that the center of the fourth light-emitting element 40R is located at a corner of the rectangular pixel 402 in plan view. Multiple fourth light-emitting elements 40R are provided in an insulating material 44. The multiple fourth light-emitting elements 40R are two-dimensionally arranged in the in-plane direction in a specified arrangement pattern, such as a matrix. The first light-emitting element 10R and the fourth light-emitting element 40R are spaced apart in plan view. The fourth light-emitting element 40R is provided between the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B in plan view.

[0078] The fourth light-emitting element 40R has a non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region (third region) 40A1 and a light-emitting region (fourth region) 40A2 on its first surface. The non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1 and light-emitting region 40A2 are similar to the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 and light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R.

[0079] 10 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a fourth light-emitting element 40R. The fourth light-emitting element 40R is, for example, a red LED element. The fourth light-emitting element 40R includes a compound semiconductor stack 41R and an electrode 42. The compound semiconductor stack 41R has a first surface and a second surface. The compound semiconductor stack 41R includes a first compound semiconductor layer 141, a light-emitting layer (fourth light-emitting layer) 142, and a second compound semiconductor layer 143, which are sequentially disposed on the first surface of the electrode 42. The first compound semiconductor layer 141, the light-emitting layer 142, and the second compound semiconductor layer 143 may be similar to the first compound semiconductor layer 111, the light-emitting layer 112, and the second compound semiconductor layer 113 of the first light-emitting element 10R, respectively.

[0080] The compound semiconductor stack 41R and the electrode 42 are separated between adjacent fourth light emitting elements 40R, thereby making it possible to suppress leakage of electrons and holes between the fourth light emitting elements 40R.

[0081] The electrode 42 is provided on the second surface of the compound semiconductor stack 41R. The electrode 42 is connected to the pad 54 of the drive substrate 201 via a bump 54A serving as a connecting member. The compound semiconductor stack 41R may be directly bonded to the first surface of the drive substrate 201 by wafer bonding or the like. In this case, the electrode 42, the bump 54A, and the pad 54 may not be provided. The electrode 42 has a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The electrode 42 may contain the same material as the electrode 12.

[0082] (First light-emitting element 10R) In the second embodiment, a third layer L3 is provided between the driving substrate 201 and the first layer L1. Therefore, the electrode 12 of the first light-emitting element 10R is connected to the pad 51 of the driving substrate 201 through a connecting member 51B such as a via instead of the bump 51A.

[0083] (Second light-emitting element 20G) The second light-emitting element 20G overlaps a part of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view. This allows the pixels 202 to be miniaturized, thereby enabling the display device 200 to have a high definition. In addition, the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of suppressing the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R, it is preferable that the second light-emitting element 20G be located outside the light-emitting region 40A2 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view.

[0084] The second light-emitting element 20G is preferably located outside the light-emitting region 40A2 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view and overlaps a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R. Specifically, it is preferable that a first portion of the second light-emitting element 20G overlaps the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view, and a second portion of the second light-emitting element 20G overlaps a region outside the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view. This makes it possible to miniaturize the pixel 202 while suppressing the effect of the second light-emitting element 20G on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R.

[0085] (Third light-emitting element 30B) The third light-emitting element 30B overlaps a part of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view. This allows the pixels 202 to be miniaturized, thereby enabling the display device 200 to have a high definition. In addition, the influence of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of suppressing the influence of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R, it is preferable that the third light-emitting element 30B be located outside the light-emitting region 40A2 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view.

[0086] The third light-emitting element 30B is preferably located outside the light-emitting region 40A2 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view and overlaps a portion of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R. Specifically, it is preferable that a first portion of the third light-emitting element 30B overlaps the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1 of the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view, and a second portion of the third light-emitting element 30B overlaps a region outside the fourth light-emitting element 40R in a planar view. This makes it possible to miniaturize the pixel 202 while suppressing the effect of the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the fourth light-emitting element 40R.

[0087] (Wiring 43) The wiring 43 electrically connects the plurality of fourth light-emitting elements 40R arranged in a row in the X-axis direction. The wiring 43 is provided on an insulating material 44. Each of the plurality of wirings 43 extends in the X-axis direction. Adjacent wirings 43 in the Y-axis direction are separated by a specified distance. The wiring 43 is connected to the first surface of the compound semiconductor stack 41R of each of the plurality of fourth light-emitting elements 40R arranged in a row in the X-axis direction. The wiring 43 may have a configuration similar to that of the wiring 13.

[0088] (Insulating Materials 44) Insulating material 44 may include materials similar to insulating material 14 and insulating material 24 .

[0089] [Action and effect] The display device 200 according to the second embodiment further includes a plurality of fourth light-emitting elements 40R capable of emitting red light between the drive substrate 11 and the first layer L1. This allows the number of red light-emitting elements per pixel 202 to be increased compared to the display device 100 according to the first embodiment. This allows the first light-emitting elements 10R to be miniaturized, thereby suppressing a decrease in the brightness of red light even when the ratio of the area of ​​the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1 to the area of ​​the light-emitting region 10A2 of the first light-emitting element 10R increases.

[0090] <3 Variations> (Variation 1) In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which the first light, the second light, and the third light are red light, green light, and blue light, respectively. However, the first light, the second light, and the third light are not limited to these colors. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the first light, the second light, and the third light may be light of a color other than red light, green light, and blue light. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the first light, the second light, and the third light may be light other than visible light. For example, the first light may be infrared light. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the second light and the third light may be ultraviolet light.

[0091] The compound semiconductor stack 11R of the first light-emitting element 10R capable of emitting infrared light can be made of the same material system as the compound semiconductor stack 11R of the first light-emitting element 10R capable of emitting red light. Therefore, the first light-emitting element 10R capable of emitting infrared light has a non-emitting / low-emitting region (first region) 10R1 and a light-emitting region (second region) 10R2. Therefore, even when the display device 100 includes the first light-emitting element 10R capable of emitting infrared light, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

[0092] The compound semiconductor stack 21G of the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting ultraviolet light can be made of the same material system as the compound semiconductor stack 21G of the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting green light. The compound semiconductor stack 31B of the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting ultraviolet light can be made of the same material system as the compound semiconductor stack 31B of the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting blue light. Therefore, in the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting ultraviolet light and the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting ultraviolet light, no non-emission / low-emission region occurs, or even if it does occur, the area of ​​the non-emission / low-emission region is extremely small. Therefore, even when the display device 100 includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting ultraviolet light and the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting ultraviolet light, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0093] In the second embodiment, the first light, the second light, the third light, and the fourth light are red light, green light, blue light, and red light, respectively. However, the first light, the second light, the third light, and the fourth light are not limited to these colors. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the first light, the second light, the third light, and the fourth light may be light of a color other than red light, green light, and blue light. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the first light, the second light, the third light, and the fourth light may be light other than visible light. For example, at least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the first light-emitting element 10R and the fourth light-emitting element 40R may be infrared light. At least one type of light selected from the group consisting of the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B may be ultraviolet light.

[0094] (Variation 2) In the first and second embodiments, an example has been described in which the second layer L2 includes two types of light-emitting elements, the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting green light and the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting blue light, but the configuration of the second layer L2 is not limited to this. For example, the second layer L2 may include either one type of light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element 20G capable of emitting green light or the third light-emitting element 30B capable of emitting blue light.

[0095] When the second layer L2 includes only the second light-emitting element 20G, the second light-emitting element 20G may be provided in place of the third light-emitting element 30B at the arrangement position of the third light-emitting element 30B in the first and second embodiments. When the second layer L2 includes only the third light-emitting element 30B, the third light-emitting element 30B may be provided in place of the second light-emitting element 20G at the arrangement position of the second light-emitting element 20G in the first and second embodiments.

[0096] (Variation 3) In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which the compound semiconductor stack 11R and the electrode 12 are separated between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R as shown in FIG. 6, but the configuration of the first layer L1 is not limited to this.

[0097] For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, the second compound semiconductor layer 113 may be connected between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R and shared among multiple first light-emitting elements 10R, while the light-emitting layer 112, the first compound semiconductor layer 111, and the electrode 12 may be separated between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R.

[0098] For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the compound semiconductor stack 11R may be connected between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R and shared among multiple first light-emitting elements 10R, while the electrode 12 may be separated between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R.

[0099] When the compound semiconductor stack 11R is connected without being separated between adjacent first light-emitting elements 10R, i.e., adjacent pixels 102, the first light-emitting element 10R may have a plurality of holes 52B and a plurality of holes 53B, as shown in FIG. 12. One hole 52B and one hole 53B are provided for each pixel 102. The holes 52B and 53B penetrate between the first surface and the second surface of the compound semiconductor stack 11R. The holes 52B are for passing the connecting member 52A through. The holes 53B are for passing the connecting member 53A through.

[0100] As shown in Fig. 13, the compound semiconductor stack 11R may be divided into blocks each consisting of a plurality of pixels 102. That is, a block each consisting of a plurality of pixels 102 may share one compound semiconductor stack 11R. Fig. 13 shows an example in which the compound semiconductor stack 11R is divided into blocks each consisting of four pixels 102. The compound semiconductor stack 11R may be connected to all the pixels 102 in the display area without being separated. That is, all the pixels 102 in the display area may share one compound semiconductor stack 11R.

[0101] In the second embodiment, the fourth light-emitting element 40R (compound semiconductor stack 41R and electrode 42) may have a configuration similar to that of the first light-emitting element 10R (compound semiconductor stack 11R and electrode 12).

[0102] (Variation 4) In the first embodiment, an example was described in which the first light-emitting element 10R has a hexagonal shape and the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B have a rectangular shape. However, the shapes of the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B are not particularly limited and can be any shape. For example, the first light-emitting element 10R may have a polygonal shape other than a hexagonal shape, and the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B may have a polygonal shape other than a rectangular shape. The first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B may have the same shape.

[0103] Specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 14, the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B may have a hexagonal shape. The first light-emitting element 10R and the second light-emitting element 20G may be configured to have almost no overlap in a planar view, or may not overlap in a planar view. The first light-emitting element 10R and the third light-emitting element 30B may be configured to have almost no overlap in a planar view, or may not overlap in a planar view.

[0104] Similarly, in the second embodiment, the shapes of the first light emitting element 10R, the second light emitting element 20G, the third light emitting element 30B, and the fourth light emitting element 40R are not particularly limited and may be any shape. For example, the fourth light emitting element 40R may have a polygonal shape other than a hexagonal shape.

[0105] (Variation 5) In the first and second embodiments, an example has been described in which the second light-emitting element 20G (compound semiconductor stack 21G) and the third light-emitting element 30B (compound semiconductor stack 31B) are separated and configured as separate chips, but as shown in Fig. 15, the second light-emitting element 20G (compound semiconductor stack 21G) and the third light-emitting element 30B (compound semiconductor stack 31B) may be integrated into a chip. The second light-emitting element 20G (compound semiconductor stack 21G) and the third light-emitting element 30B (compound semiconductor stack 31B) can be configured from the same material (for example, AlGaInN-based compound semiconductors with different compositions), and therefore, they can easily be integrated into a chip.

[0106] (Variation 6) In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16B, the area S G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B are the areas S of each pixel 102. P The second light emitting element 20G and the third light emitting element 30B may have a shape that allows two or more elements to be fabricated from a wafer region 103 corresponding to one pixel 102 (a shape that allows two or more elements to be fabricated from a wafer region 103 corresponding to one pixel 102). Similarly, in the second embodiment, the area S of the second light emitting element 20G is G and the area S of the third light-emitting element 30B B are the areas S of each pixel 202. Pand the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B may have a shape that allows two or more elements to be fabricated from an area 103 of the wafer that corresponds to one pixel 202 (a shape that allows two or more elements to be fabricated from an area 103 of the wafer that corresponds to one pixel 202).

[0107] FIG. 16A shows the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G. G is the area S of one pixel 102 P 10B is a diagram showing an example of a shape in which the area S of the second light emitting element 20G is smaller than 1 / 2, but two or more elements cannot be fabricated from an area 103 of the wafer corresponding to one pixel 102. In this example, the area S of the second light emitting element 20G is G is S G =π×(1.9μm) 2 =11.34μm 2 and the area S of one pixel 102 P is S P = 5.0 μm × 5.0 μm = 25.0 μm 2 Therefore, the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G is G (=11.34μm 2 ) is the area S of one pixel 102 P (=25.0μm 2 However, the shape of the second light-emitting element 20G is circular, which means that only one second light-emitting element 20G can be fabricated from the wafer region 103 corresponding to one pixel 102.

[0108] FIG. 16B shows the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G. G 1 is a diagram showing an example in which the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G is smaller than half of one pixel 102 and the second light-emitting element 20G has a shape that makes it impossible to fabricate two or more elements from the area 103 of the wafer corresponding to one pixel 102. In this example, the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G is G is S G =2.4μm×4.8μm=11.52μm 2 and the area S of one pixel 102 P is S P = 5.0 μm × 5.0 μm = 25.0 μm 2Therefore, the area S of the second light-emitting element 20G is G (=11.52μm 2 ) is the area S of one pixel 102 P (=25.0μm 2 ) is smaller than 1 / 2. The shape of the second light emitting element 20G is rectangular, which allows two second light emitting elements 20G to be fabricated from an area 103 of the wafer corresponding to one pixel 102.

[0109] (Variation 7) In the first and second embodiments, an example has been described in which a portion of the second light-emitting element 20G overlaps the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. However, the entire second light-emitting element 20G may overlap the outer region of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. Similarly, the entire third light-emitting element 30B may overlap the outer region of the first light-emitting element 10R in a planar view. In this case, the influence of the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the first light-emitting element 10R can be suppressed.

[0110] In the second embodiment, the entire second light emitting element 20G may overlap the outer region of the fourth light emitting element 40R in a planar view. Similarly, the entire third light emitting element 30B may overlap the outer region of the fourth light emitting element 40R in a planar view. In this case, the influence of the second light emitting element 20G and the third light emitting element 30B on the light extraction of the fourth light emitting element 40R can be suppressed.

[0111] (Variation 8) In the first embodiment, the display device 100 may further include a plurality of first lenses, a plurality of second lenses, and a plurality of third lenses. The first lenses, the second lenses, and the third lenses are provided above the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B, respectively. In this case, the front brightness of the display device 100 can be improved.

[0112] In the second embodiment, the display device 200 may further include a plurality of first lenses, a plurality of second lenses, a plurality of third lenses, and a plurality of fourth lenses. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are provided above the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, the third light-emitting element 30B, and the fourth light-emitting element 40R, respectively. In this case, the front brightness of the display device 200 can be improved.

[0113] (Variation 9) In the first embodiment, the first light-emitting element 10R included in the first layer L1 may have a current confinement structure. This current confinement structure may form a current injection region and a non-current injection region in the first light-emitting element 10R. The non-current injection region may correspond to the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1, and the current injection region may correspond to the light-emitting region 10A2.

[0114] The first light-emitting element 10R has a current confinement structure, which allows for active control of the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 10A1. This improves the degree of freedom in arranging the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B included in the second layer L2. When the display device 100 includes a second lens and a third lens above the second light-emitting element 20G and the third light-emitting element 30B, respectively, light control by the second lens and the third lens becomes easier.

[0115] In the second embodiment, the fourth light-emitting element 40R included in the third layer L3 may have a current confinement structure. This current confinement structure may form a current injection region and a non-current injection region in the fourth light-emitting element 40R. The non-current injection region may correspond to the non-light-emitting / low light-emitting region 40A1, and the current injection region may correspond to the light-emitting region 40A2.

[0116] (Variation 10) In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B are LED elements, but the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, and the third light-emitting element 30B may be LD (Laser Diode) elements or SLD (Super Luminescent Diode) elements. Similarly, in the second embodiment, the first light-emitting element 10R, the second light-emitting element 20G, the third light-emitting element 30B, and the fourth light-emitting element 40R may be LD elements or SLD elements.

In particular, they are preferably provided in devices that require high resolution and are used in close proximity to the eyes for magnification, such as electronic viewfinders for video cameras and single-lens reflex cameras, or head-mounted displays.
