Abstract

The display device includes the first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, a first color filter through which light from the first light-emitting element passes, and a second color filter through which the light from the second light-emitting element passes. The relative positional relationship between the center of the first light-emitting element and the center of the first color filter is different from the relative positional relationship between the center of the second light-emitting element and the center of the second color filter.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element that are arranged along a first direction in plan view;
a first color filter on which light emitted from the first light-emitting element is incident, and through which the light emitted from the first light-emitting element passes; and
a second color filter on which light emitted from the second light-emitting element is incident, and through which the light emitted from the second light-emitting element passes, wherein
in a cross-sectional view along the first direction,
a first center is a center of the first color filter in the first direction,
a second center is a center of the first light-emitting element in the first direction,
a third center is a center of the second color filter in the first direction,
a fourth center is a center of the second light-emitting element in the first direction,
the first color filter is offset, along the first direction, with respect to the first light-emitting element so that a direction from the second center to the first center is a second direction,
the second color filter is offset, along the first direction, with respect to the second light-emitting element so that a direction from the fourth center to the third center is a third direction, and

the second direction and the third direction are inclined toward opposite sides of a line extending in a direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the first direction is along a direction from a center of the display region toward an outside of the display region in the plan view.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a lens; and
a light guiding member provided on an opposite side of the lens from the first color filter.
