Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A display device comprising: a first light-emitting element that emits first light; a second light-emitting element that emits second light; a first color filter through which the first light passes; and a second color filter through which the second light passes, wherein: a first distance between a center of the first light-emitting element and a center of the first color filter is longer than a second distance between a center of the second light-emitting element and a center of the second color filter in plan view, and a first area of the first color filter overlapping with the first light-emitting element is smaller than a second area of the second color filter overlapping with the second light-emitting element in plan view. 2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting element includes a third area overlapping with the first color filter and a fourth area not overlapping with the first color filter in plan view. 3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein a third area is larger than a fourth area in plan view. 4 . The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising: the second light-emitting element entirely overlaps with the first color filter in plan view. 5 . The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising: a lens; and a light guiding member provided on an opposite side of the lens from the first color filter. 6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an optical axis of the first light-emitting element is more inclined from a normal line of the display device than an optical axis of the second light-emitting element is inclined from the normal line.
