Patent 7531856 was granted and assigned to Sony on May, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A display apparatus that includes: a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed on a substrate with an accumulation of, in this or inverse order, a light transmissive electrode layer, a functional layer including a light-emitting layer, and an opposing electrode layer; and a color conversion layer that is provided on a side of the light transmissive electrode layer for any of the light-emitting devices, and applies color conversion to an emitted light generated by the light-emitting layer for the light-emitting device. In the display apparatus, the light-emitting devices each have a reflective surface on a position where the light-emitting layer is sandwiched with the light transmissive electrode layer, and an optical distance between the reflective surface and the light-emitting layer varies by the light-emitting devices depending on provision of the color conversion layer.
