     First Embodiment 
     A color filter and a display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  1    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 
       FIG.  2    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 2 -F 2  in  FIG.  1   .  FIG.  3    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 3 -F 3  in  FIG.  1   . 
     An organic EL display device  100  (display device) shown in  FIG.  1    displays a color image according to image signals. The application of the organic EL display device  100  is not specifically limited. For example, the organic EL display device  100  can be used as a display device for electronic devices such as smart glasses, head-mounted displays and electronic viewfinders. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates a configuration of a unit pixel P in plan view of the organic EL display device  100  of the first embodiment. The plan view herein refers to a view from a display screen of the organic EL display device  100  toward light emitting elements. The plan view also refers to a view in a thickness direction of a filter portion  3  (described later). 
     The unit pixel P is a minimum region that performs color display. For example, in the organic EL display device  100 , a large number of unit pixels P shown in  FIG.  1    are arranged side by side in the x direction from left to right and the y direction from bottom to top of the drawing. The z direction is a direction perpendicular to the x direction and the y direction and extends from the back to the front of the drawing. The z direction and the plan view direction are opposite directions. 
     The outer shape of the display screen formed of all the unit pixels P of the organic EL display device  100  is a rectangle having sides in the x and y directions. Each unit pixel P has a width Wx in the x direction and a width Wy in the y direction. Wx and Wy may be equal to or different from each other. 
     For simplicity of the description, the width in the x direction and the width of the y direction of a region, a member, or the like may be hereinafter referred to as an x width and a y width, respectively. 
     The unit pixel P includes a first sub-pixel region P 1 , a second sub-pixel region P 2  and a third sub-pixel region P 3 . The first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  are arranged in this order in the x direction. The first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  trisect the unit pixel P in the x direction. 
     Since all the unit pixels P in the organic EL display device  100  have the same configuration, the following description will be given of a single unit pixel P as an example. 
     The first sub-pixel region P 1  has a rectangular shape in plan view with an x width of Wx/3 and y width of Wy. The first sub-pixel region P 1  may display red, for example. 
     The second sub-pixel region P 2  has a rectangular shape in plan view with an x width of Wx/3 and y width of Wy. The second sub-pixel region P 2  may display green, for example. 
     The third sub-pixel region P 3  has a rectangular shape in plan view with an x width of Wx/3 and y width of Wy. The third sub-pixel region P 3  may display blue, for example. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , the organic EL display device  100  includes a main body  9  and a color filter  10 . 
     The main body  9  includes a substrate  6 , light emitting elements  5  and a planarization film  4 . 
     The shape of the substrate  6  in plan view is larger than the display screen of the organic EL display device  100 . The substrate  6  may be made of, for example, a silicon substrate. 
     The light emitting elements  5  emit white light. For example, an organic EL element may be used as the light emitting element  5 . When a DC voltage is applied across the anode and cathode of the organic EL element, electrons and holes are injected into a light-emitting layer and recombine to generate excitons. By using light emission caused by decay of the excitons, the organic EL element emits light. 
     The light emitting element  5  is provided in each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  1   , each light emitting element  5  has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  in which the light emitting element  5  is located. 
     In the example shown in  FIG.  1   , each light emitting element  5  has an x width slightly smaller than Wx/3 and a y width slightly smaller than Wy. 
     The light emitting element  5  is formed on a silicon substrate using, for example, a semiconductor manufacturing process. 
     The electrodes in each light emitting element  5  are connected to a drive circuit (not shown) through wiring formed on the substrate  6 . The drive circuit controls turning on and off of the light emitting elements  5  according to image signals. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , the planarization film  4  covers at least the substrate  6  and the light emitting elements  5  of each unit pixel P to form a flat surface  4   a  on their surfaces in the z direction. The flat surface  4   a  is a plane extending over the entire display region of the organic EL display device  100 . 
     The planarization film  4  covers the light emitting elements  5  to protect the light emitting elements  5 . For example, the planarization film  4  prevents moisture, oxygen, and the like from coming into contact with the light emitting elements  5  to thereby prevent deterioration of the light emitting elements  5 . 
     The planarization film  4  is made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. The material of the planarization film  4  preferably has high barrier properties against at least one of moisture and oxygen. 
     The film thickness of the planarization film  4  on the light emitting elements  5  may be, for example, 0.1 μm. 
     The color filter  10  includes the filter portion  3 , the planarization layer  2  and the lens  1  disposed in this order in the z direction. 
     The filter portion  3  is a layer-like portion with a constant thickness and has an upper surface  3   a  and a lower surface  3   b . The thickness of the filter portion  3  is not specifically limited. For example, the thickness of the filter portion  3  may be 1.2 μm. 
     The filter portion  3  covers the planarization film  4  with the lower surface  3   b  being in close contact with the flat surface  4   a.    
     The filter portion  3  regulates transmission wavelength of light incident thereon from the respective light emitting elements  5  via the planarization film  4 . 
     The filter portion  3  includes a first color layer  31  (sub-pixel, elongated pixel), a second color layer  32  (sub-pixel, elongated pixel) and a third color layer  33  (sub-pixel, elongated pixel). 
     The first color layer  31  overlaps with the first sub-pixel region P 1 . The first color layer  31  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of red. 
     The second color layer  32  is disposed adjacent to the first color layer  31  in the x direction. The second color layer  32  overlaps with the second sub-pixel region P 2 . The second color layer  32  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of green. 
     The third color layer  33  is disposed adjacent to the second color layer  32  in the x direction. The third color layer  33  overlaps with the third sub-pixel region P 3 . The third color layer  33  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of blue. 
     In the first embodiment, the shapes of the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  in plan view in the thickness direction are rectangles elongated in the y direction, and are the same as those of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 , respectively. Therefore, the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  constituting the three sub-pixels trisect the unit pixel P in the x direction. 
     The ratio of a length in the longitudinal direction to a length in the lateral direction of the rectangle is referred to as an aspect ratio. When the rectangle is a square, the aspect ratio is 1. 
     In the first embodiment, since each sub-pixel has a length of Wx/3 in the lateral direction and a length of Wy in the longitudinal direction, the aspect ratio of each sub-pixel is 3×Wy/Wx. In particular, when each unit pixel P is a square (Wx=Wy), the aspect ratio of each sub-pixel is 3. 
     When a sub-pixel having an aspect ratio greater than 1 is specifically referred to as an elongated pixel, the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  in the first embodiment are all correspond to elongated pixels. 
     The filter portion  3  is formed by solidifying a resin composition in which coloring materials corresponding to the respective transmission wavelength ranges are dispersed in a transparent resin. 
     The planarization layer  2  is a layer-like portion with a constant thickness laminated on the upper surface  3   a  of the filter portion  3 . An upper surface  2   a  of the planarization layer  2  is a plane parallel to the lower surface  3   b  of the filter portion  3 . 
     The planarization layer  2  is made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. 
     The lenses  1  are disposed facing the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  with the planarization layer  2  interposed therebetween in the thickness direction (z direction), and condense light that has passed through the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 . The condensed light is externally emitted from the color filter  10  around the optical axes of the lenses  1  extending in the z direction. 
     As shown in  FIG.  1   , in the first embodiment, three lenses  1  are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 . 
     In the first embodiment, some parts of the outer edges of each lens  1  in plan view have no gaps in the x direction and y direction. Accordingly, the lenses  1  are densely arranged in the longitudinal direction of each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 . Further, in the first embodiment, the lenses  1  are densely arranged also in the lateral direction of each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 . 
     However, as long as a required light extraction efficiency is obtained, a gap may be formed between the outer edges of the lenses  1 . In order to improve the light extraction efficiency, it is more preferred that the lenses  1  are densely arranged. For example, a preferred dense arrangement is one in which the minimum value of the gap becomes 20% or less of the size of the lens in the width direction of the gap. For example, when a gap is provided between the lenses  1  in the y direction, the width of the gap in the y direction is preferably 0.20×Dy or less, where Dy is the outer diameter of the lens in the y direction. 
     Each lens  1  in the first sub-pixel region P 1  has a width in the x direction which is the same as the lateral width of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , and a width in the y direction which is one-third of the longitudinal width of the first sub-pixel region P 1 . The shape of each lens  1  in plan view is a rectangle with four rounded corners, in which the length in the x direction is Wx/3 and the length in they direction is Wy/3. In particular, when Wx=Wy, the shape of each lens  1  in plan view may be a circle. 
     The shape of each lens  1  in plan view in the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  is the same as that in the first sub-pixel region P 1 . 
     In plan view, gaps are formed between the lenses  1  at diagonal positions. Through the gaps between the lenses  1  at diagonal positions, a flat portion F formed of the upper surface  2   a  of the planarization layer  2  is exposed. Each lens  1  covers the planarization layer  2  except for the flat portion F. 
     The lenses  1  are made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. The material of the lenses  1  may be the same or different from that of the planarization layer  2 . When the material of the lenses  1  is different from that of the planarization layer  2 , their refractive indices may be different from each other. 
     In the example shown in  FIGS.  2  and  3   , each lens  1  has a flat surface  1   b  and a convex lens surface  1   a  in this order in the z direction. The flat surface  1   b  is an interface with the planarization layer  2 . However, when the lens  1  and the planarization layer  2  are made of the same material, the flat surface  1   b  is a virtual plane since no interface is formed between the lens  1  and the planarization layer  2 . When the lens  1  and the planarization layer  2  have the same refractive index, the flat surface  1   b  does not function as a refracting surface or a reflecting surface even if the flat surface  1   b  is formed. 
     Unless otherwise specified, in the example described below, the lens  1  and the planarization layer  2  are made of the same material and have the same refractive index. 
     Each lens  1  is a convex lens in which the convex lens surface  1   a  has a positive refractive power. 
     The shape of the convex lens surface  1   a  is appropriately determined in consideration of the light condensing performance and light extraction efficiency of the lens  1 . For example, each convex lens surface  1   a  may have a hemispherical shape convex in the z direction. 
     The term “hemispherical shape” as used herein includes a hemispherical surface, a spherical segment surface of a spherical segment whose height is smaller than a radius, and an aspherical surface close to the hemispherical surface or the spherical segment surface. 
     Due to such a shape, each lens  1  can condense light emitted from the light emitting element  5 . Each lens  1  has an optical axis O extending in the z direction through the center of each lens  1 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , each optical axis O is located at the center of the width (lateral width) of the light emitting element  5  in the x direction. 
     The organic EL display device  100  can be manufactured by forming light emitting elements  5  on a substrate  6  using a semiconductor manufacturing process, laminating a planarization film  4  on the substrate  6  and the light emitting elements  5  to form a main body  9 , and forming a filter portion  3 , a planarization layer  2  and lenses  1  on the flat surface  4   a.    
     The filter portion  3  can be formed by, for example, preparing resin compositions in which each coloring material for forming the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  is dispersed in a photosensitive resin, and exposing and developing the resin compositions through a pattern mask by photolithography to form a cured layer of the resin compositions on the flat surface  4   a.    
     The lenses  1  can be formed by, for example, forming a resin layer for forming a planarization layer  2  and lenses  1  on the filter portion  3 , and then etching the surface of the resin layer into the shapes of a convex lens surface  1   a  of the lenses  1  and a flat portion F by an etch-back method. The planarization layer  2  is formed by a non-etched portion of the layer-like portion of the resin layer. 
     The following description will be given of the effects of the organic EL display device  100 , focusing on the effects of the color filter  10 . 
       FIGS.  4  and  5    are schematic views illustrating an effect of a color filter according to the first embodiment of the present invention.  FIG.  5    is a schematic view illustrating an effect of a color filter according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 
     In the organic EL display device  100 , the light emitting element  5  facing the first color layer  31  is controlled to emit light in response to an image signal of a red component (hereinafter, referred to as an R signal). Similarly, the light emitting element  5  facing the second color layer  32  and the light emitting element  5  facing the third color layer  33  are controlled to emit light in response to an image signal of a green component (hereinafter, referred to as a G signal) and an image signal of a blue component (hereinafter, referred to as a B signal), respectively. 
     In the unit pixel P, light from the light emitting element  5  driven by the R signal, light from the light emitting element  5  driven by the G signal and light from the light emitting element  5  driven by the B signal are externally emitted through the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 , respectively, whereby colors faithful to the image signals are displayed. 
     Depending on the numerical aperture of the lenses  1 , for example, red light from the light emitting element  5  driven by the R signal may leak out from the second sub-pixel region P 2  or the third sub-pixel region P 3 . Since such red leakage light is condensed to the front side by the lenses  1 , it does not cause a change in color in the unit pixel P. 
     On the other hand, red light from the light emitting element  5  driven by the R signal may pass through the second color layer  32  and leak out from the second sub-pixel region P 2 . In this case, as the leakage light caused by the R signal passes through the second color layer  32 , green light component in the leakage light leaks to the outside. As a result, a color of the unit pixel P changes due to an increase in the green light component caused by the R signal. Although depending on the light condensing performance of the lenses  1 , leakage light also tends to be largely inclined relative to the optical axis O. Accordingly, there is a possibility that a change in color increases especially when the unit pixel P is viewed in an oblique direction. 
       FIG.  4    schematically illustrates a light flux in a cross-section perpendicular to the y direction. 
     When the light emitting elements  5  are turned on, light fluxes L 0 Ax (see solid line arrows) are emitted from the points A, which intersect the respective optical axes O of the lenses  1  that face the light emitting elements  5 , toward the convex lens surfaces  1   a  that face the light emitting elements  5  in the z direction while spreading radially around the optical axes O. 
     Since the planarization film  4 , the filter portion  3  and the planarization layer  2  do not have refractive power, the light fluxes L 0 Ax spread inside thereof and reach the convex lens surfaces  1   a  that face the light emitting elements  5  in the z direction. The light fluxes L 0 Ax are condensed according to the refractive power at the respective convex lens surfaces  1   a  and externally emitted from the lenses  1  as light fluxes L 1 Ax which are close to parallel light fluxes. 
     Similarly, when the light fluxes L 0 Bx (see dotted line arrows) emitted from points Bx at the ends of the light emitting elements  5  in the x direction reach the convex lens surfaces  1   a , the light fluxes L 0 Bx are condensed according to the refractive power of the respective convex lens surfaces  1   a  and externally emitted from the lenses  1  as light fluxes L 1 Bx which are close to parallel light fluxes. Depending on the light condensing performance of the convex lens surfaces  1   a , the light fluxes L 1 Bx are emitted in an oblique direction according to the distance from the point Bx to the optical axis O. Compared with the case where no convex lens surface  1   a  is provided, the light fluxes L 1 Bx are emitted in a direction toward the optical axis O according to the refractive power of the convex lens surface  1   a.    
     Although  FIG.  4    shows an example of light from the point Bx in the second color layer  32 , similar light fluxes (not shown) are emitted from the first color layer  31  and the third color layer  33 . 
     For example, light from the point Bx in the second color layer  32  is also emitted, as a light flux L 0 Dx indicated by the dot-dash line, in a direction toward the convex lens surface  1   a  that faces the third color layer  33  in the z direction. Most of the light flux L 0 Dx passes through the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 , and is different from green light. However, since the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  have different transmission wavelength ranges, the intensity of transmitted light is smaller than the light flux L 0 Bx. The light flux L 0 Dx reaching the convex lens surface  1   a  that faces the third color layer  33  in the z direction is emitted to the outside the lens  1  as a light flux L 1 Dx close to a parallel light flux in an oblique direction toward the x direction. 
     However, since the light fluxes L 0 Bx and L 0 Dx are emitted from the outer edges of the light emitting elements  5 , the light intensity itself is lower than that from the center part. Most of the light flux L 1 Dx passing through the third color layer  33  is bluish, but the influence of color mixing is small due to the low light intensity. 
     Although not shown for clarity of illustration, light flux from a point Cx at the end of the light emitting element  5  in the direction opposite to the x direction is emitted from the convex lens surface  1   a  as a light flux symmetrical to the light flux L 0 Bx, L 0 Dx, L 1 Bx or L 0 Dx about the optical axis O. 
     In a cross-section perpendicular to the y direction, a light flux from the lens  1  is emitted around the optical axis O of the convex lens surface  1   a  that faces the light emitting element  5  in the z direction, and has a divergence angle smaller than that of a light flux emitted from the light emitting element  5 . The color of light flux emitted from the respective convex lens surfaces  1   a  corresponds to the transmission wavelength range of the filter portion  3  that the convex lens surface  1   a  faces. 
     Therefore, most of the white light from the light emitting element  5  that faces the first color layer  31  passes through the first color layer  31  and is emitted from the lens  1  that faces the first color layer  31  to the front of the lens  1  (upper side in the drawing) as red light having a red wavelength component. 
     Similarly, most of the white light from the light emitting element  5  that faces the second color layer  32  passes through the second color layer  32  and is emitted from the lens  1  that faces the second color layer  32  to the front of the lens  1  as green light having a green wavelength component. 
     Similarly, most of the white light from the light emitting element  5  that faces the third color layer  33  passes through the third color layer  33  and is emitted from the lens  1  that faces the third color layer  33  to the front of the lens  1  as blue light having a blue wavelength component. 
       FIG.  5    schematically illustrates a light flux passing through the point A on the light emitting element  5  that faces the second color layer  32  in a cross-section perpendicular to the x direction. 
     For ease of comparison with  FIG.  4   , points A, By and Cy are indicated at positions similar to the points A, Bx and Cx in  FIG.  4   . The light fluxes L 0 Ay, L 1 Ay, L 0 By, L 1 By, L 0 Dy and L 1 Dy are the same as the light fluxes L 0 Ax, L 1 Ax, L 0 Bx, L 1 Bx, L 0 Dx and L 1 Dx in  FIG.  4    except that the light flux is emitted from the points A and By. 
     In a cross-section perpendicular to the x direction, a light flux from the lens  1  is emitted around the optical axis O of the convex lens surface  1   a  that faces the light emitting element  5  in the z direction, and has a divergence angle smaller than that of a light flux emitted from the light emitting element  5 . The color of light flux emitted from the respective convex lens surfaces  1   a  corresponds to the transmission wavelength range of the filter portion  3  that the light emitting element  5  faces. In the example of  FIG.  4   , it corresponds to the transmission wavelength range of the second color layer  32 . 
     In  FIG.  5   , for example, since the light fluxes L 0 Dy and L 1 Dy only passes through the second color layer  32 , they are emitted as green light without decreasing the light intensity. Therefore, the light flux L 1 Dy does not cause color mixing. 
     Thus, since a plurality of lenses  1  of the first embodiment are disposed above the sub-pixels elongated in the y direction, the lenses  1  have an effect of preventing light fluxes from being spread in the y direction as well as in the x direction. Therefore, the front luminance of the unit pixel P is improved. 
     This will be described in comparison with Conventional Example 1 shown in  FIGS.  6  and  7   . 
       FIG.  6    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device of Conventional Example 1.  FIG.  7    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 7 -F 7  in  FIG.  6   . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  6  and  7   , an organic EL display device  110  of Conventional Example 1 has the same configuration as that of the organic EL display device  100  except that it has lenses  111  instead of the lenses  1  of the organic EL display device  100 . The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. 
     As shown in  FIG.  7   , the lenses  111  are disposed facing the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  with the planarization layer  2  therebetween, and condense light that has passed through the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  6   , one lens  111  is disposed in the longitudinal direction of each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3 . 
     The lens  111  in the first sub-pixel region P 1  has a width in the x direction which is the same as the lateral width of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , and a width in the y direction which is the same as the longitudinal width of the first sub-pixel region P 1 . The shape of the lens  111  in plan view is a rectangle with four rounded corners. 
     The shape of each lens  111  in plan view in the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  is the same as that in the first sub-pixel region P 1 . 
     The shape of the lens  111  in a cross-section perpendicular to they direction is the same as the shape of the convex lens surface  1   a  in the same cross-section. 
     As shown in  FIG.  7   , the shape of the lens  111  in a cross-section perpendicular to the x direction has a flat surface  111   b  and a lens surface  111   a  in this order in the z direction. 
     The flat surface  111   b  is formed by an interface with the planarization layer  2 . 
     The lens surface  111   a  includes convex surfaces  111   a B formed on both ends in the longitudinal direction of the lens  111 , and a cylindrical surface  111   a A extending in the x direction between the convex surfaces  11   a B. 
     The cylindrical surface  111   a A has a shape in which a cross-sectional shape of the convex lens surface  1   a  in a direction perpendicular to the x direction is extended in the x direction. 
     The convex surface  111   a B has a quarter spherical shape smoothly connected to the cylindrical surface  111   a A. 
     The lens surface  111   a  has the same refractive power as that of the convex lens surface  1   a  in a cross-section perpendicular to the y direction, but has no refractive power except for the convex surface  111   a B in a cross-section perpendicular to the x direction. 
     Therefore, as indicated by the solid line and the dotted line in  FIG.  7   , the light flux emitted from the light emitting element  5  and passing through the cylindrical surface  111   a A is emitted from the lens  111  without being condensed in the x direction. 
     As a result, the viewing angle in a cross-section perpendicular to the y direction is widened due to the spread of the light flux compared with that in the first embodiment, but the luminance in each observation direction in the same cross-section is lower than that in the first embodiment. 
     That is, in the organic EL display device  110  of Conventional Example 1, the front luminance decreases, and the luminance according to the observation angle when viewed obliquely in the cross-section perpendicular to the y direction also decreases. As a result, the image becomes darker, reducing the visibility. 
     On the other hand, since the organic EL display device  100  of the first embodiment has the color filter  10  in which a plurality of lenses  1  are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the respective sub-pixels, the front luminance and visibility are improved. 
     Second Embodiment 
     A color filter and a display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  8    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 
       FIG.  9    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 9 -F 9  in  FIG.  8   . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  8  and  9   , an organic EL display device  100 A (display device) of the second embodiment includes a color filter  10 A of the second embodiment instead of the color filter  10  of the first embodiment. The color filter  10 A includes a filter portion  3 A instead of the filter portion  3 . 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. 
     The filter portion  3 A further includes light shielding walls  7 A that shield the visible light in the filter portion  3 . 
     The light shielding walls  7 A are respectively disposed between sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction of the unit pixels P adjacent in the x direction and between sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction within the unit pixel P. 
     The shape of the light shielding wall  7 A is not specifically limited as long as it can block at least part of light passing through the sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction. 
     For example, in the example shown in  FIGS.  8  and  9   , each light shielding wall  7 A has an x width of t and a length in they direction of Wy. The height of each light shielding wall  7 A in the z direction is equal to the thickness of each sub-pixel. An upper surface  7   a  of the light shielding wall  7 A is flush with the upper surface  3   a  of the filter portion  3 A. 
     The x width t of the light shielding wall  7 A is an appropriate size for obtaining required light shielding properties. However, smaller t is more preferred. For example, t may be 30% or more and 40% or less of Wx/3. 
     The material of the light shielding wall  7 A is not specifically limited as long as it can block visible light. For example, the light shielding wall  7 A may be made of a material having a visible light transmittance of 0% or more and 20% or less. The light shielding wall  7 A may be made of, for example, a resin material in which a black colorant such as carbon is dispersed. 
     The first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  in the second embodiment are the same as those of the sub-pixels in the first embodiment except that the x width is wx. Wx is (Wx/3−t). Therefore, the aspect ratio of each sub-pixel in the second embodiment is Wy/wx. 
     For example, when Wy=Wx, the aspect ratio is greater than 3. In particular, when the width t of the light shielding wall  7 A is within the range described above, the aspect ratio is 4.2 or more and 5 or less. 
     The filter portion  3 A can be produced by preparing a resin composition for forming a light shielding wall  7 A, and patterning the resin composition by photolithography in the same manner as in the method for forming the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 . 
     Since the organic EL display device  100 A of the second embodiment has the color filter  10 A in which a plurality of lenses  1  are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the respective sub-pixels, the front luminance and visibility are improved as in the first embodiment. 
     In particular, since the filter portions  3 A in the color filter  10 A include the light shielding walls  7 A between the sub-pixels, light flux emitted from the lenses  1  via the boundaries between the sub-pixels can be blocked. 
     As an example,  FIG.  9    illustrates light beams R 1 , R 2  and R 3  that enter the first color layer  31  and are deviated toward the z direction as they travel in the x direction. 
     The light beams R 1  and R 2  emitted from an end portion of the light emitting element  5  on a side opposite to the x direction pass through the planarization layer  2  located on the upper side of the light shielding wall  7 A in the drawing, and are externally emitted from the lens  1  that faces the second color layer  32 . On the other hand, as illustrated as the light beam R 3 , light that enters the first color layer  31  at a position on the x direction side relative to the light beam R 2  is absorbed by the light shielding wall  7 A and thus not externally emitted. 
     Therefore, changes in color due to color mixing can be further suppressed than in the first embodiment. 
     First Modified Example 
     A color filter and a display device according to a first modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  10    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to a first modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention.  FIG.  11    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 11 -F 11  in  FIG.  10   . 
     As shown in  FIG.  10   , an organic EL display device  100 B (display device) of the first modified example includes a color filter  10 B of the second embodiment instead of the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment. 
     The color filter  10 B includes a filter portion  3 B instead of the filter portion  3 A. 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the second embodiment. 
     The filter portion  3 B includes light shielding walls  7 B instead of the light shielding walls  7 A of the filter portion  3 A. 
     Each light shielding wall  7 B is formed in a columnar shape extending in the z direction, and has an upper surface  7   a B (see  FIG.  11   ) in the extending direction located facing the flat portion F. 
     Thus, the light shielding walls  7 B, which are arranged in a lattice pattern at positions separated from each other in the x direction and the y direction, are disposed between sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction of the unit pixels P adjacent in the x direction and between sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction within the unit pixel P. 
     The shape of the light shielding wall  7 B is not specifically limited as long as it can block at least part of light emitted from the light emitting elements  5  toward the flat portions F. 
     For example, in the example shown in  FIGS.  10  and  11   , each light shielding wall  7 B has an x width of tx and a y width of ty. 
     The height of each light shielding wall  7 B in the z direction is equal to the thickness of each sub-pixel. An upper surface  7   a B of the light shielding wall  7 B is flush with the upper surface  3   a  of the filter portion  3 B. 
     The x width tx and the y width of ty of the light shielding wall  7 B are appropriate sizes for obtaining required light shielding properties. For example, tx and ty may be sizes that can cover 70% or more and 100% or less of the flat portion F in plan view. 
     The light shielding wall  7 B may be made of the same material as that of the light shielding wall  7 A. 
     The first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  in the second embodiment are the same as those of the sub-pixels in the first embodiment except that an x width wF of a portion sandwiched between the light shielding walls  7 B adjacent in the x direction is reduced to (Wx/3−tx). 
     As in the second embodiment, when the shape of the sub-pixels is different from a rectangle, the ratio of a maximum length in the longitudinal direction to a maximum length in the lateral direction of the sub-pixel is defined as the aspect ratio. Therefore, the aspect ratio of each sub-pixel in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment. 
     The color filter  10 B can be manufactured in the same manner as the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment except that the regions for forming the light shielding walls  7 B in plan view are different from those of the light shielding walls  7 A. 
     Since the organic EL display device  100 B of the second embodiment has the color filter  10 B in which a plurality of lenses  1  are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the respective sub-pixels, the front luminance and visibility are improved as in the first embodiment. 
     In particular, since the filter portions  3 B in the color filter  10 B include the light shielding walls  7 B between the sub-pixels, light flux emitted from the flat portions F via the boundaries between the sub-pixels can be blocked. 
     As an example,  FIG.  11    illustrates light beams R 4  and R 5  that enter the first color layer  31  and are deviated toward the z direction as they travel in the x direction. 
     The light beam R 4  emitted from an end portion of the light emitting element  5  on a side opposite to the x direction passes through the planarization layer  2  located on the upper side of the light shielding wall  7 B in the drawing, and is externally emitted from the flat portion F. 
     On the other hand, the light beam R 5  emitted from an end portion of the light emitting element  5  on the x direction side is absorbed by the light shielding wall  7 B and thus not externally emitted. 
     When leakage light from the flat portion F occurs, the light is not condensed by the lenses  1 , causing the leakage light to be emitted in a direction with a large inclination relative to the optical axis O. This causes changes in color when the unit pixel P is viewed obliquely. 
     Since the first modified example can reduce leakage light from the flat portions F, changes in color due to color mixing can be further suppressed than in the first embodiment. 
     Second Modified Example 
     A color filter and a display device according to a second modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  12    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to a second modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention. 
     As shown in  FIG.  12   , an organic EL display device  100 C (display device) of the second modified example includes a color filter  10 C of the second embodiment instead of the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment. 
     The color filter  10 C includes a filter portion  3 C instead of the filter portion  3 A. 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the second embodiment. 
     The filter portion  3 C includes light shielding walls  7 C instead of the light shielding walls  7 A of the filter portion  3 A. 
     The light shielding walls  7 C are the same as the light shielding walls  7 A of the second embodiment except that a height hC from the flat surface  4   a  to an upper surface  7   a C is smaller than the thickness of each sub-pixel. 
     The height hC can be appropriately sized according to the required light shielding range. For example, hC is preferably larger than half the thickness of each sub-pixel. 
     The color filter  10 C can be manufactured in the same manner as the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment except that the height of the light shielding walls  7 C is different from that of the light shielding walls  7 A. However, in the second modified example, the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  are formed after the light shielding walls  7 C are formed. 
     The organic EL display device  100 C of the second embodiment has the same effect as that of the second embodiment except that the light shielding range of the light shielding walls  7 C is smaller than that in the second embodiment. 
     According to the second modified example, as illustrated as a light beam R 6  in  FIG.  12   , light passing through the boundary between the first color layer  31  and the second color layer  32  at a position on the upper side of the light shielding wall  7 C in the drawing is not blocked by the light shielding wall  7 C. Therefore, the light beam R 6  passes through the planarization layer  2  and is externally emitted from the lens  1  that faces the second color layer  32 . 
     However, when the height hC of the light shielding wall  7 C is greater than or equal to half the thickness of the sub-pixel and inclination of the light beam R 6  relative to the optical axis O is 45° or less, for example, the length of the optical path of the light beam R 6  passing through the first color layer  32  is shorter than the optical path passing through the second color layer  31 . In this case, the light beam R 6  is reddish, so changes in color due to color mixing are small compared with the case where the light beam R 6  is converted into green light. 
     Third Modified Example 
     A color filter and a display device according to a third modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  13    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to a third modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention. 
     As shown in  FIG.  13   , an organic EL display device  100 D (display device) of the third modified example includes a color filter  10 D of the second embodiment instead of the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment. 
     The color filter  10 D includes a planarization layer  2 D and a filter portion  3 D instead of the planarization layer  2  and the filter portion  3 A. 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the second embodiment. 
     The third modified example is an example in which the light shielding walls  7 A of the second embodiment are extended to the inside of the planarization layer  2 . 
     The filter portion  3 D includes light shielding walls  7 D instead of the light shielding walls  7 A of the filter portion  3 A. 
     The light shielding walls  7 D are the same as the light shielding walls  7 A of the second embodiment except that a height hD from the flat surface  4   a  to an upper surface  7   a D is larger than the thickness of each sub-pixel and not more than the sum of the thickness of each sub-pixel and the thickness of the planarization layer  2 C. 
     The planarization layer  2 D is the same as the planarization layer  2  of the second embodiment except that the light shielding walls  7 D extend inside. 
     The color filter  10 D can be manufactured in the same manner as the filter portion  3 A of the second embodiment except that the height of the light shielding walls  7 D is different from that of the light shielding walls  7 A. 
     The organic EL display device  100 D of the second embodiment has the same effect as that of the second embodiment except that the light shielding range of the light shielding walls  7 C is larger than that in the second embodiment. 
     According to the third modified example, it is possible to block a light beam, such as the light beam R 3 , that passes through the boundary between the sub-pixels adjacent to each other, and at least part of light passing through the planarization layer  2 D and emitted from the lens  1  that faces the adjacent sub-pixel. 
     For example, when the height hD is appropriately sized so that a light beam R 7  shown in  FIG.  9   , which corresponds to the light beam R 1 , can also be blocked, it is possible to block all the light passing through the first color layer  31  and externally emitted from the convex lens surface  1   a  that faces the adjacent sub-pixel. 
     Fourth Modification 
     A color filter and a display device according to a fourth modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  14    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to a fourth modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention. 
     As shown in  FIG.  14   , an organic EL display device  100 E (display device) of the fourth modified example includes a color filter  10 E of the second embodiment instead of the color filter  10 A of the second embodiment. 
     The color filter  10 E includes a planarization layer  2 E and the filter portion  3  instead of the planarization layer  2  and the filter portion  3 A. The filter portion  3  is a layer-like portion which is the same as that in the first embodiment, and includes no light shielding wall. 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the second embodiment. 
     The planarization layer  2 E is the same as the planarization layer  2  of the second embodiment except that light shielding walls  7 E are formed inside. 
     The light shielding walls  7 E extend from the upper surface  3   a  at the boundary between the sub-pixels to the inside of the planarization layer  2 E. 
     The color filter  10 E can be manufactured by forming the filter portion  3  in the same manner as in the first embodiment, forming the light shielding walls  7 E on the upper surface  3   a  in the same manner as in the second embodiment, and forming the planarization layer  2 E and the lenses  1  on the upper surface  3   a  and the light shielding wall  7 E. 
     The organic EL display device  100 E of the second embodiment has the same effect as that of the second embodiment except that the light shielding walls  7 E block light passing through part of the planarization layer  2 E. 
     According to the fourth modified example, as illustrated as light beams R 8  and R 9 , light passing above the boundary between the sub-pixels and emitted from the convex lens surfaces  1   a  that face the sub-pixels adjacent in the x direction can be blocked. 
     According to the fourth modified example, since the light shielding walls  7 E are separately formed after the filter portion  3  is formed, the filter portion  3  can be easily manufactured compared with a case where the light shielding walls  7 E are formed together with the filter portion  3 . 
     Third Embodiment 
     A color filter and a display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  15    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.  FIG.  16    is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines F 15 -F 15  in  FIG.  15   .  FIG.  17    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 16 -F 16  in  FIG.  15   . 
     As shown in  FIG.  15   , an organic EL display device  100 F (display device) of the third embodiment includes unit pixels P 10  having a rectangular shape in plan view instead of the respective unit pixels P of the organic EL display device  100  of the first embodiment. The application of the organic EL display device  100 F is not specifically limited. For example, the organic EL display device  100 F can be used as a display device for electronic devices such as smart glasses, head-mounted displays and electronic viewfinders, as with the organic EL display device  100 . 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. 
     Each unit pixel P 10  has an x width of Wx and a y width of Wy. In particular, when Wx=Wy, the shape of the unit pixel P 10  in plan view is a square. 
     The unit pixel P 10  includes a first sub-pixel region P 11 , a second sub-pixel region P 12  and a third sub-pixel region P 13 . The second sub-pixel region P 12  and the first sub-pixel region P 11  are arranged in this order in the y direction. The third sub-pixel region P 13  is disposed adjacent to both the first sub-pixel region P 11  and the second sub-pixel region P 12  in the x direction. 
     The first sub-pixel region P 11  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/2 and the y width of Wy/2. 
     The first sub-pixel region P 11  may display red, for example. 
     The second sub-pixel region P 12  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/2 and the y width of Wy/2. 
     The second sub-pixel region P 12  may display green, for example. 
     The third sub-pixel region P 13  has an elongated rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/2 and the y width of Wy. The third sub-pixel region P 13  may display blue, for example. 
     As shown in  FIG.  16   , the organic EL display device  100 F includes a main body  19  and a color filter  10 F. 
     The main body  19  includes light emitting elements  15  instead of the light emitting elements  5  in the main body  9  of the first embodiment. 
     The light emitting elements  15  are the same as the light emitting elements  5  in the first embodiment except that the shape in plan view is different. Each light emitting element  15  includes light emitting elements  15 A disposed in the first sub-pixel region P 11  and the second sub-pixel region P 12  and a light emitting element  15 B disposed in the third sub-pixel region P 13 . For example, an organic EL element may be used as the light emitting element  15 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  16   , each light emitting element  15 A has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of each of the first sub-pixel region P 11  and the second sub-pixel region P 12  in which the light emitting element  15 A is located. The light emitting element  15 B has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of the third sub-pixel region P 13  in which the light emitting element  15 B is located. 
     The color filter  10 F includes a filter portion  13  instead of the filter portion  3  in the color filter  10  of the first embodiment. 
     The filter portion  13  includes a first color layer  41  (sub-pixel, second sub-pixel), a second color layer  42  (sub-pixel, second sub-pixel) and a third color layer  43  (sub-pixel, elongated pixel, first sub-pixel) instead of the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33  in the filter portion  3 . 
     The first color layer  41  overlaps with the first sub-pixel region P 11 . The first color layer  41  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of red. 
     As shown in  FIG.  15   , the second color layer  42  is disposed adjacent to the first color layer  41  in the y direction. The second color layer  42  overlaps with the second sub-pixel region P 12 . The second color layer  42  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of green. 
     The first color layer  41  and the second color layer  42  have a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/2 and they width of Wy/2. 
     The third color layer  43  overlaps with the third sub-pixel region P 13 . The third color layer  43  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of blue. 
     The first color layer  41  and the second color layer  42  are adjacent to one side of the third color layer  43  in the longitudinal direction. The third color layer  43  has a rectangular shape elongated in the y direction in plan view having the x width of Wx/2 and the y width of Wy. Therefore, the aspect ratio of the third color layer  43  is 2×Wy/Wx, which is larger than 1. The third color layer  43  is an elongated pixel. For example, when each unit pixel P is a square (Wx=Wy), the aspect ratio of the third color layer  43  is 2. 
     On the other hand, each aspect ratio of the first color layer  41  and the second color layer  42  adjacent to the third color layer  43  is half the aspect ratio of the third color layer  43 , and smaller than the third color layer  43 . 
     Thus, among the three sub-pixels in the filter portion  13 , the first color layer  41  and the second color layer  42  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. The first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are rectangular sub-pixels having a first transmission wavelength range and a second transmission wavelength range, respectively, corresponding to two of red, green and blue. 
     The third color layer  43  forms the third sub-pixel. The third sub-pixel is an elongated pixel having an aspect ratio larger than each aspect ratio of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, and has a third wavelength range different from the first transmission wavelength range and the second wavelength range among red, green and blue. 
     The filter portion  13  is manufactured in the same manner as the filter portion  3  except that the shape and arrangement of the sub-pixels in plan view are different. 
     The lenses  1  in the third embodiment are the same as the lenses  1  in the first embodiment except that four lenses are disposed in the unit pixel P 10 . 
     In the third embodiment, one lens  1  is disposed in each of the first sub-pixel region P 11  and the second sub-pixel region P 12 , and two lenses  1  are disposed in the third sub-pixel region P 13 . 
     The lenses  1  are disposed facing the first color layer  41 , the second color layer  42  and the third color layer  43  with the planarization layer  2  therebetween. Specifically, two lenses  1  facing the third color layer  43  are arranged side by side in the y direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the third color layer  43 . 
     A gap may be formed between the adjacent lenses  1 . However, as with the first embodiment, the lenses  1  in the third embodiment are densely arranged with the outer edges thereof partially in contact with each other. 
     As with the first embodiment, the flat portions F are formed between the lenses  1  at diagonal positions. 
     The color filter  10 F of the third embodiment is an example in which two lenses are disposed facing the elongated pixel. 
     Since the organic EL display device  100 F of the third embodiment has the color filter  10 F in which a plurality of lenses  1  are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the third color layer  43 , the front luminance and visibility are improved as in the first embodiment. 
     In the examples described in the above embodiments and modified examples, the aspect ratio of the elongated pixel is equal to or close to 3 or 2. However, the aspect ratio of the elongated pixel is not specifically limited as long as it is greater than 1. 
     The number of lenses facing the elongated pixel is not specifically limited as long as the lenses can be densely arranged in the longitudinal direction of the elongated pixel. However, when the aspect ratio of the elongated pixel is 1.5 or more, the number of lenses is preferably the number obtained by rounding the aspect ratio to the nearest whole number. 
     In this case, since the ratio of the length in the major axis direction to the length in the minor axis direction of the lens in plan view can be set to a value close to 1, anisotropy of the light condensing performance can be easily reduced. 
     In the examples described in the above embodiments and modified examples, the light emitting elements are organic EL elements. However, the type of the light emitting elements is not limited to the organic EL element. For example, the light emitting elements may be inorganic LED elements, or the like. 
     In the examples described in the above embodiments and modified examples, the red, green and blue sub-pixels are disposed in the first sub-pixel region, the second sub-pixel region and the third sub-pixel region, respectively. However, the colors and arrangement positions of the sub-pixels are not limited to the above as long as the unit pixels can perform color display. 
     Fourth Embodiment 
     A color filter and a display device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  18    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. 
       FIG.  19    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 202 -F 202  in  FIG.  18   . 
     An organic EL display device  200  (display device) shown in  FIG.  18    displays a color image according to image signals. The application of the organic EL display device  200  is not specifically limited. For example, the organic EL display device  200  can be used as a display device for electronic devices such as smart glasses, head-mounted displays and electronic viewfinders. 
       FIG.  18    illustrates a configuration of a unit pixel P in plan view of the organic EL display device  200  of the fourth embodiment. The plan view herein refers to a view from a display screen of the organic EL display device  200  toward light emitting elements. The plan view also refers to a view in a thickness direction of a filter portion  203  (described later). 
     The unit pixel P is a minimum region that performs color display. For example, in the organic EL display device  200 , a large number of unit pixels P shown in  FIG.  18    are arranged side by side in the x direction from left to right and they direction from bottom to top of the drawing. The z direction is a direction perpendicular to the x direction and the y direction and extends from the back to the front of the drawing. The z direction and the plan view direction are opposite directions. 
     The outer shape of the display screen formed of all the unit pixels P of the organic EL display device  200  is a rectangle having sides in the x and y directions. Each unit pixel P has a width Wx in the x direction and a width Wy in the y direction. Wx and Wy may be equal to or different from each other. 
     For example, in the examples shown in  FIG.  18   , Wx is 1.5 times Wy. 
     For simplicity of the description, the width in the x direction and the width of the y direction of a region, a member, or the like may be hereinafter referred to as an x width and a y width, respectively. 
     The unit pixel P includes a first sub-pixel region P 201 , a second sub-pixel region P 202  and a third sub-pixel region P 203 . The first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203  are arranged in this order in the x direction. The first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203  trisect the unit pixel P in the x direction. 
     Since all the unit pixels P in the organic EL display device  200  have the same configuration, the following description will be given of a single unit pixel P as an example. 
     The first sub-pixel region P 201  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/3 and the y width of Wy. The first sub-pixel region P 201  may display red, for example. 
     The second sub-pixel region P 202  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/3 and the y width of Wy. The second sub-pixel region P 202  may display green, for example. 
     The third sub-pixel region P 203  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of Wx/3 and the y width of Wy. The third sub-pixel region P 203  may display blue, for example. 
     As shown in  FIG.  19   , the organic EL display device  200  includes a main body  209  and a color filter  210 . 
     The main body  209  includes a substrate  206 , light emitting elements  205  and a planarization film  204 . 
     The shape of the substrate  206  in plan view is larger than the display screen of the organic EL display device  200 . The substrate  206  may be made of, for example, a silicon substrate. 
     The light emitting elements  205  emit white light. For example, an organic EL element may be used as the light emitting element  205 . When a DC voltage is applied across the anode and cathode of the organic EL element, electrons and holes are injected into a light-emitting layer and recombine to generate excitons. By using light emission caused by decay of the excitons, the organic EL element emits light. 
     The light emitting element  205  is provided in each of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  18   , each light emitting element  205  has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of each of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203  in which the light emitting element  205  is located. 
     In the example shown in  FIG.  18   , each light emitting element  205  has an x width slightly smaller than Wx/3 and a y width slightly smaller than Wy. 
     The light emitting element  205  is formed on a silicon substrate using, for example, a semiconductor manufacturing process. 
     The electrodes in each light emitting element  205  are connected to a drive circuit (not shown) through wiring formed on the substrate  206 . The drive circuit controls turning on and off of the light emitting elements  205  according to image signals. 
     As shown in  FIG.  19   , the planarization film  204  covers at least the substrate  206  and the light emitting elements  205  of each unit pixel P to form a flat surface  204   a  on their surfaces in the z direction. The flat surface  204   a  is a plane extending over the entire display region of the organic EL display device  200 . 
     The planarization film  204  covers the light emitting elements  205  to protect the light emitting elements  205 . For example, the planarization film  204  prevents moisture, oxygen, and the like from coming into contact with the light emitting elements  205  to thereby prevent deterioration of the light emitting elements  205 . 
     The planarization film  204  is made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. The material of the planarization film  204  preferably has high barrier properties against at least one of moisture and oxygen. 
     The film thickness of the planarization film  204  on the light emitting elements  205  may be, for example, 0.1 μm. 
     The color filter  210  includes the filter portion  203 , the planarization layer  202  and the lens  201  disposed in this order in the z direction. 
     The filter portion  203  is a layer-like portion with a thickness t1 and has an upper surface  203   a  and a lower surface  203   b . Conditions that t1 satisfies will be described later. 
     The filter portion  203  covers the planarization film  204  with the lower surface  203   b  being in close contact with the flat surface  204   a.    
     The filter portion  203  regulates transmission wavelength of light incident thereon from the respective light emitting elements  205  via the planarization film  204 . 
     The filter portion  203  includes a first color layer  231  (sub-pixel), a second color layer  232  (sub-pixel) and a third color layer  233  (sub-pixel). 
     The first color layer  231  overlaps with the first sub-pixel region P 201 . The first color layer  231  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of red. 
     The second color layer  232  is disposed adjacent to the first color layer  231  in the x direction. The second color layer  232  overlaps with the second sub-pixel region P 202 . The second color layer  232  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of green. 
     The third color layer  233  is disposed adjacent to the second color layer  232  in the x direction. The third color layer  233  overlaps with the third sub-pixel region P 203 . The third color layer  233  may constitute, for example, a sub-pixel having a transmission wavelength range of blue. 
     In the fourth embodiment, the shapes of the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  in plan view in the thickness direction are rectangles elongated in the y direction, and are the same as those of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203 , respectively. Therefore, the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  constituting the three sub-pixels trisect the unit pixel P in the x direction. 
     The first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  each have the x width of wx (=Wx/3) and the y width of Wy. 
     The filter portion  203  is formed by solidifying a resin composition in which coloring materials corresponding to the respective transmission wavelength ranges are dispersed in a transparent resin. 
     The planarization layer  202  is a layer-like portion with a thickness t2 laminated on the upper surface  203   a  of the filter portion  203 . Conditions that t2 satisfies will be described later. 
     An upper surface  202   a  of the planarization layer  202  is a plane parallel to the lower surface  203   b  of the filter portion  203 . 
     The planarization layer  202  is made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. 
     The lenses  201  are disposed facing the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  with the planarization layer  202  interposed therebetween in the thickness direction (z direction), and condense light that has passed through the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233 . The condensed light is externally emitted from the color filter  210  around the optical axes of the lenses  201  extending in the z direction. 
     As shown in  FIG.  18   , in the fourth embodiment, two lenses  201  are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction (y direction) of each of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203 . However, the number of the lenses  201  in the longitudinal direction of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203  may be appropriately modified depending on the length in the longitudinal direction. 
     They width of each lens  201  is Ly. The distance between the lenses  201  adjacent to each other in the y direction is dy. From the viewpoint of improving light extraction efficiency, smaller dy is more preferred. For example, dy may be 0. 
     In the example shown in  FIG.  18   , they width Ly of each lens is (Wy/2−dy). 
     The x width of each lens  201  is Lx. The distance between the lenses  201  adjacent to each other in the x direction is dx. Conditions that Lx and dx satisfy will be described later. 
     For example, the shape of each lens  201  in plan view is a rectangle with four rounded corners having the x width of Lx and the y width of Ly. In particular, when Lx=Ly, the shape of each lens  201  in plan view may be a circle. 
     In the fourth embodiment, gaps are formed at least in the x direction and between the lenses  201  at diagonal positions, and the upper surface  202   a  of the planarization layer  202  is exposed therethrough. 
     The lenses  201  are made of a transparent resin material having good transmittance to visible light. The material of the lenses  201  may be the same or different from that of the planarization layer  202 . When the material of the lenses  201  is different from that of the planarization layer  202 , their refractive indices may be different from each other. 
     In the example shown in  FIG.  19   , each lens  201  has a flat surface  201   b  and a convex lens surface  201   a  in this order in the z direction. The flat surface  201   b  is an interface with the planarization layer  202 . However, when the lens  201  and the planarization layer  202  are made of the same material, the flat surface  201   b  is a virtual plane since no interface is formed between the lens  201  and the planarization layer  202 . When the lens  201  and the planarization layer  202  have the same refractive index, the flat surface  201   b  does not function as a refracting surface and a reflecting surface even if the flat surface  201   b  is formed. 
     Unless otherwise specified, in the example described below, the lens  201  and the planarization layer  202  are made of the same material and have the same refractive index. 
     Each lens  201  is a convex lens in which the convex lens surface  201   a  has a positive refractive power. 
     The shape of the convex lens surface  201   a  is appropriately determined in consideration of the light condensing performance and light extraction efficiency of the lens  201 . For example, each convex lens surface  201   a  may have a hemispherical shape convex in the z direction. 
     The term “hemispherical shape” as used herein includes a hemispherical surface, a spherical segment surface of a spherical segment whose height is smaller than a radius, and an aspherical surface close to the hemispherical surface or the spherical segment surface. 
     Due to such a shape, each lens  201  can condense light emitted from the light emitting element  205 . Each lens  201  has an optical axis O extending in the z direction through the center of each lens  201 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  19   , each optical axis O is located at the center of the width (lateral width) of the light emitting element  205  in the x direction. 
     In the color filter  210  of the fourth embodiment, when a specific sub-pixel having a first transmission wavelength range is referred to as a first sub-pixel, a sub-pixel adjacent to the first sub-pixel and having a second transmission wavelength range different from the first transmission wavelength range is referred to as a second sub-pixel, and the lenses  201  facing the first sub-pixel and second sub-pixel are referred to as a first lens and a second lens, respectively, they are formed in the shapes satisfying the following formulas (1) to (5) 
       &lt;Math. 2&gt; 
         T=t 1 +t 2  (1)
 
         w&gt;T   (2)
 
         d= 2×( w−T )  (3)
 
       0.8 ×w≤L&lt;w   (4)
 
         L=w−d   (5)
 
     In the above formulas, t1 is the thickness of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, t2 is the thickness of the planarization layer  202 , w is the width of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in the adjacent direction, L is the width of each of the first lens and the second lens in the adjacent direction, and d is the distance between the first lens and the second lens in the adjacent direction. 
     As indicated by formula (1), T represents the total thickness of the filter portion  203  and the planarization layer  202 . In the filter portion  203  and the planarization layer  202 , light emitted from the light emitting element  205  is refracted according to the refractive index difference between the filter portion  203  and the second lens, and travels substantially straight when the refractive index difference is small. 
     According to the condition of formula (2), the total thickness T of the filter portion  203  and the planarization layer  202  is less than the width w of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel. When T is greater than or equal to w, the light condensing range of the first lens and the second lens for light emitted from the light emitting elements  205  is narrowed, resulting in a decrease in front luminance. 
     On the other hand, when light having a large emission angle is easily condensed, leakage light which is emitted from an end portion of the first sub-pixel and passes through the adjacent second sub-pixel becomes more likely to be emitted from the second lens toward the front. In this case, as the leakage light passes through the second sub-pixel, it has a tint different from the first transmission wavelength range of the first sub-pixel. When leakage light having a tint different from the first transmission wavelength range is mixed and observed, color reproducibility may be reduced depending on the intensity of leakage light. 
     In the fourth embodiment, in order to prevent leakage light from being emitted toward the front, a gap is formed between the lenses by providing a distance between the first lens and the second lens in the adjacent direction. 
     Formula (3) defines an appropriate gap size d. Formula (5) represents the width L of each of the first lens and the second lens when the distance between the lenses is d. 
     Formula (4) defines a range of the width L of each of the first lens and the second lens in which the front luminance is easily optimized. 
     When the first lens and the second lens have the width of w, a distance between the lenses becomes 0, forming no gap in the adjacent direction. 
     When the first lens and the second lens have the width less than 0.8×w, leakage light is less likely to be emitted toward the front, but the numerical apertures of the first lens and the second lens become too small. This results in a decrease in light extraction efficiency for display light having an appropriate transmission wavelength range and a decrease in front luminance. 
     In the fourth embodiment, the first color layer  231  and the second color layer and  232  adjacent to each other in the x direction within the unit pixel P, and the second color layer  232  and the third color layers  233  adjacent to each other in the x direction within the unit pixel P constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     Since the first color layer  231  of the unit pixel P is adjacent to the third color layer  233  of another unit pixel P adjacent on a side opposite to the x direction, the first color layer  231  and the third color layer  233  adjacent thereto in another unit pixel P constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     Since the third color layer  233  of the unit pixel P is adjacent to the first color layer  231  of another unit pixel P adjacent on the x direction side, the third color layer  233  and the first color layer  231  adjacent thereto constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     In the fourth embodiment, the relationships of w=wx, d=dx, and L=Lx are satisfied in formulas (1) to (5) for any of the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels described above. 
     On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, the sub-pixels having different transmission wavelength ranges are not adjacent to each other on the y direction side or a side opposite to the y direction within the unit pixel P or between adjacent unit pixels P. Therefore, there are no sub-pixels corresponding to the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel that should satisfy formulas (1) to (5) on the y direction side or the side opposite to the y direction. For example, dy is more preferably a value closer to 0 in the y direction and the direction opposite to the y direction. 
     The organic EL display device  200  can be manufactured by forming light emitting elements  205  on a substrate  206  using a semiconductor manufacturing process, laminating a planarization film  204  on the substrate  206  and the light emitting elements  205  to form a main body  209 , and forming a filter portion  203 , a planarization layer  202  and lenses  201  on the flat surface  204   a.    
     The filter portion  203  can be formed by, for example, preparing resin compositions in which each coloring material for forming the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  is dispersed in a photosensitive resin, and exposing and developing the resin compositions through a pattern mask by photolithography to form a cured layer of the resin compositions on the flat surface  204   a.    
     The lenses  201  can be formed by, for example, forming a resin layer for forming a planarization layer  202  and lenses  201  on the filter portion  203 , and then etching the surface of the resin layer into the shapes of a convex lens surface  201   a  of the lenses  201  and a flat portion F by an etch-back method. The planarization layer  202  is formed by a non-etched portion of the layer-like portion of the resin layer. 
     The following description will be given of the effects of the organic EL display device  200 , focusing on the effects of the color filter  210 . 
       FIG.  20    is a schematic ray diagram illustrating an effect of a color filter according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. 
     In the organic EL display device  200 , the light emitting element  205  facing the first color layer  231  is controlled to emit light in response to an image signal of a red component (hereinafter, referred to as an R signal). Similarly, the light emitting element  205  facing the second color layer  232  and the light emitting element  205  facing the third color layer  233  are controlled to emit light in response to an image signal of a green component (hereinafter, referred to as a G signal) and an image signal of a blue component (hereinafter, referred to as a B signal), respectively. 
     In the unit pixel P, light from the light emitting element  205  driven by the R signal, light from the light emitting element  205  driven by the G signal and light from the light emitting element  205  driven by the B signal are externally emitted through the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233 , respectively, whereby colors faithful to the image signals are displayed. 
       FIG.  20    illustrates light beams that enter the lower surface  203   b  of the first color layer  231  at points A, B and C. The points A, B and C are points facing an end portion on a side opposite to the x direction, a center part in the x direction, and an end portion on the x direction side of the light emitting element  205  that faces the first color layer  231 , respectively, in the z direction. 
     For example, the light beam R 1  traveling in the z direction from the point B passes through, in sequence, the first color layer  231 , the planarization layer  202 , and the convex lens surface  201   a   1  that faces the first color layer  231 , and is then emitted in the z direction. 
     For example, the light beam R 2  enters the first color layer  231  at the point B and is deviated toward the x direction as it travels in the z direction. The angle of the light beam R 2  relative to the z direction may be, for example, up to approximately 45° for obtaining appropriate light extraction efficiency. 
     In this case, since the color filter  210  in the fourth embodiment satisfies formulas (1) to (5), the light beam R 2  passes through, in sequence, the first color layer  231 , the planarization layer  202 , and the convex lens surface  201   a   2  that faces the second color layer  232 , and is then emitted in the z direction. It should be noted that the light beam R 2  may be emitted in a direction inclined relative to the z direction depending on the light condensing performance of the convex lens surface  201   a   2 . However, even when the light beam R 2  deviates from the z direction, the deviation from the z direction does not become significantly large since the light beam R 2  is refracted at the convex lens surface  201   a   2 . In  FIG.  20   , the light beam R 2  is schematically illustrated as traveling in the z direction. The same applies to other light beams emitted from the convex lens surface  201   a.    
     In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the term “light beam travels in the z direction” includes the cases where the light beam travels strictly in the z direction, and substantially in the z direction. 
     The light beams R 1  and R 2  that enter the first color layer  231  at the point B, pass through the first color layer  231  and subsequently through the planarization layer  202 , and are then emitted from the convex lens surface  201   a   1  that faces the first color layer  231  and the convex lens surface  201   a   2  adjacent thereto in the x direction, respectively, are both red light. 
     The light beam R 3  emitted from the point A and traveling parallel with the light beam R 2  passes through the first color layer  231  and subsequently through the planarization layer  202 , and is then emitted from the convex lens surface  201   a   2  in the z direction without passing through the second color layer  232 . Therefore, the light beam R 3  is red light. 
     The light beams R 1  and R 2  form red light according to the R signal. 
     According to the fourth embodiment, the light beams R 2  and R 3  emitted obliquely from the light emitting element  205  are also emitted in the z direction via the convex lens surface  201   a   2  adjacent in the x direction. Therefore, the front luminance of the red light can be improved compared with the case where the light beams R 2  and R 3  travel substantially straight in an oblique direction. 
     The light beam R 4  emitted from the point C and traveling parallel with the light beam R 2  passes through the first color layer  231  and subsequently through the second color layer  232  and the planarization layer  202 , and is then emitted from the upper surface  202   a.    
     The color of the light beam R 4  is close to green since the length passing through the second color layer  232  is longer than the length passing through the first color layer  231 . Since the light beam R 4  is close to green and emitted according to the R signal, it causes an error in green components in the unit pixel P when observed as mixed with the display light. 
     In the fourth embodiment, the light beam R 4  is emitted from the upper surface  202   a  having no refractive power. Although the light beam R 4  is refracted at the upper surface  202   a  according to Snell&#39;s law, it travels substantially straight compared with the case of passing through the convex lens surface  201   a . Therefore, the light beam R 4  travels in a direction inclined by substantially 45° relative to the z direction. 
     Since the light beam R 4  travels in a direction inclined relative to the front by substantially 45° in the x direction, the light beam R 4  is not mixed with the display light of the unit pixel P when observed mainly from the front, which reduces color mixing in an observation direction mainly from the front and improves color reproducibility. 
     The following description will be given of the effects of the fourth embodiment in comparison with conventional examples. 
       FIG.  21    is a schematic ray diagram illustrating an effect of a color filter of Conventional Example 2.  FIG.  22    is a schematic ray diagram illustrating an effect of a color filter of Conventional Example 3.  FIG.  23    is a schematic ray diagram illustrating an effect of a color filter of Conventional Example 4. 
     As shown in  FIG.  21   , an organic EL display device  200 A of Conventional Example 2 has the same configuration as that of the organic EL display device  200  except that it has a planarization layer  202 A instead of the planarization layer  202  of the organic EL display device  200 . 
     The planarization layer  202 A is the same as the planarization layer  202  except that a thickness t2 of the planarization layer  202 A is smaller than t2 of the planarization layer  202 . 
     Therefore, Conventional Example 2 is an example in which TA=t1+t2 is smaller than T in the fourth embodiment. Conventional Example 2 is an example that does not satisfy the relationship of formula (3) due to the planarization layer  202 A having a small thickness. 
     In Conventional Example 2, although the height of each of the convex lens surface  201   a  and the upper surface  202   a  measured from the upper surface  203   a  is reduced, the light beam R 1  is emitted in the same manner as in the fourth embodiment. Although the light beams R 2  and R 3  are emitted from the convex lens surface  201   a  at positions different from those in the fourth embodiment, they are emitted in the same direction as in the embodiment. 
     On the other hand, since the light beam R 4  in Conventional Example 2 is emitted through the convex lens surface  201   a   2  due to the reduced height of the convex lens surface  201   a   2 , the light beam R 4  is emitted in the z direction similarly to the light beam R 2 . 
     Therefore, in observation from the front, the greenish light beam R 4  is mixed with the display light, causing color mixing. This reduces color reproducibility. 
     As shown in  FIG.  22   , an organic EL display device  200 B of Conventional Example 3 has the same configuration as that of the organic EL display device  200  except that it has lenses  201 B instead of the lenses  201  of the organic EL display device  200 . 
     The lenses  201 B have a convex lens surface  201   a B instead of the convex lens surface  201   a  of the lenses  201 . The lenses  201 B are the same as the lenses  201  except that the width in the x direction is LxB, which is equal to wx. 
     Therefore, Conventional Example 3 is an example in which a distance between the lenses  201 B is 0 since L equal to w, when w is greater than T. Conventional Example 3 is an example that does not satisfy the relationships of formulas (3) and (4) due to the lenses  201 B in the adjacent direction having a width that is too large. 
     In Conventional Example 3, at least in a cross-section in the adjacent direction (perpendicular to the y direction), convex lens surfaces  201   a   1 B and  201   a   2 B adjacent to each other, among the convex lens surfaces  201   a B, are in contact with each other. Accordingly, the upper surface  202   a  is not exposed between the lenses  201 B. 
     In Conventional Example 3, in addition to the light beams R 1 , R 2  and R 3  being emitted in the z direction, the light beam R 4  is emitted in the z direction from the convex lens surface  201   a   2 B similarly to the light beam R 2 . 
     Therefore, in observation from the front, the greenish light beam R 4  is mixed with the display light, causing color mixing. This reduces color reproducibility. 
     As shown in  FIG.  23   , an organic EL display device  200 C of Conventional Example 4 has the same configuration as that of the organic EL display device  200  except that it has a planarization layer  202 A and lenses  201 B instead of the planarization layer  202  and the lenses  201  of the organic EL display device  200 . Conventional example 4 is a combination of Conventional Example 2 and Conventional Example 3. 
     Accordingly, Conventional Example 4 is an example that does not satisfy the relationships of formula (3) and (4) similarly to Conventional Examples 2 and 3. 
     In Conventional Example 4, in addition to the light beams R 1 , R 2  and R 3  being emitted in the z direction as in Conventional Example 3, the light beam R 4  is emitted in the z direction from the convex lens surface  201   a   2 B similarly to the light beam R 2 . 
     Therefore, in observation from the front, the greenish light beam R 4  is mixed with the display light, causing color mixing. This reduces color reproducibility. 
     The above description is given using an example in which an oblique light beam is deviated toward the x direction as it travels in the z direction. For the description of an example in which an oblique light beam is deviated toward the direction opposite to the x direction as it travels in the z direction, the x direction in the above description should be replaced with the direction opposite to the x direction. 
     Although the above description is given using an example in which the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are the first color layer  231  and the second color layer  232 , respectively, other combinations may be applied to the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel. 
     As described above, according to the organic EL display device  200  of the fourth embodiment, in which the color filter  210  is provided which satisfies formulas (1) to (5) for the first sub-pixel and second sub-pixel and the first lens and second lens both adjacent to each other in the x direction, the front luminance and color reproducibility are improved. 
     For reducing color mixing, it is possible to provide light shielding walls between adjacent sub-pixels or adjacent lenses. However, providing such light shielding walls with high accuracy may cause an increase in the manufacturing cost. Further, light that reaches the light shielding walls is absorbed even if it does not cause color mixing, and this may cause a decrease in light extraction efficiency and front luminance. 
     On the other hand, according to the fourth embodiment, in which no light shielding wall is provided, the configuration of the color filter  210  is simplified. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed and the front luminance is likely to be improved. 
     Fifth Embodiment 
     A color filter and a display device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
       FIG.  24    is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of a display device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. 
       FIG.  25    is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines F 208 -F 208  in  FIG.  24   .  FIG.  26    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 209 -F 209  in  FIG.  24   .  FIG.  27    is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F 210 -F 210  in  FIG.  24   . 
     As shown in  FIG.  24   , an organic EL display device  200 D (display device) of the fifth embodiment includes unit pixels P 210  having a rectangular shape in plan view instead of the respective unit pixels P of the organic EL display device  200  of the fourth embodiment. The application of the organic EL display device  200 D is not specifically limited. For example, the organic EL display device  200 D can be used as a display device for electronic devices such as smart glasses, head-mounted displays and electronic viewfinders, as with the organic EL display device  200 . 
     The following description will be given focusing on the differences from the fourth embodiment. 
     Each unit pixel P 210  has an x width of 2×wx and a y width of Wy. In particular, when 2×wx=Wy, the shape of the unit pixel P 210  in plan view is a square. 
     The unit pixel P 210  includes a first sub-pixel region P 211 , a second sub-pixel region P 212  and a third sub-pixel region P 213 . The second sub-pixel region P 212  and the first sub-pixel region P 211  are arranged in this order in the y direction. The third sub-pixel region P 213  is disposed adjacent to both the first sub-pixel region P 211  and the second sub-pixel region P 212  in the x direction. 
     The first sub-pixel region P 211  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of wx and they width of Wy/2. The first sub-pixel region P 211  may display red, for example. 
     The second sub-pixel region P 212  has a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of wx and the y width of Wy/2. The second sub-pixel region P 212  may display green, for example. 
     The third sub-pixel region P 213  has an elongated rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of wx and the y width of Wy. The third sub-pixel region P 213  may display blue, for example. 
     As shown in  FIG.  25   , the organic EL display device  200 D includes a main body  219  and a color filter  211 . 
     The main body  219  includes light emitting elements  215  instead of the light emitting elements  205  in the main body  209  of the fourth embodiment. 
     The light emitting elements  215  are the same as the light emitting elements  205  in the fourth embodiment except that the shape in plan view is different. Each light emitting element  215  includes light emitting elements  215 A disposed in the first sub-pixel region P 211  and the second sub-pixel region P 212  and a light emitting element  215 B disposed in the third sub-pixel region P 213 . For example, an organic EL element may be used as the light emitting element  215 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  24   , each light emitting element  215 A has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of each of the first sub-pixel region P 211  and the second sub-pixel region P 212  in which the light emitting element  215 A is located. 
     The light emitting element  215 B has a rectangular shape in plan view slightly smaller than the outer shape of the third sub-pixel region P 213  in which the light emitting element  215 B is located. 
     The color filter  211  includes a filter portion  213  instead of the filter portion  203  in the color filter  210  of the fourth embodiment. 
     The filter portion  213  includes a first color layer  241  (sub-pixel) and a second color layer  242  (sub-pixel) instead of the first color layer  231  and the second color layer  232  of the filter portion  203 . 
     The first color layer  241  overlaps with the first sub-pixel region P 211 . The first color layer  241  may have, for example, a transmission wavelength range of red. 
     As shown in  FIG.  26   , the second color layer  242  is disposed adjacent to the first color layer  241  in the y direction. The second color layer  242  overlaps with the second sub-pixel region P 212 . The second color layer  242  may have, for example, a transmission wavelength range of green. 
     The first color layer  241  and the second color layer  242  have a rectangular shape in plan view with the x width of wx and the y width of wy (=Wy/2). 
     As shown in  FIGS.  25  and  26   , the third color layer  233  in the fifth embodiment is the same as that in the fourth embodiment except that it overlaps with the third sub-pixel region P 213 . The third color layer  233  has a rectangular shape elongated in the y direction in plan view having the x width of wx and the y width of 2×wy. 
     The filter portion  213  is manufactured in the same manner as the filter portion  203  except that the shape and arrangement of the sub-pixels in plan view are different. 
     The lenses  201  in the fifth embodiment are the same as the lenses  201  in the fourth embodiment except that four lenses are disposed in the unit pixel P 210 . 
     In the fifth embodiment, one lens  201  is disposed in each of the first sub-pixel region P 211  and the second sub-pixel region P 212 , and two lenses  201  are disposed in the third sub-pixel region P 213 . 
     The lenses  201  are disposed facing the first color layer  241 , the second color layer  242  and the third color layer  233  with the planarization layer  202  therebetween. Specifically, two lenses  201  facing the third color layer  233  are arranged side by side in the y direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the third color layer  233 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  25   , a gap dx is formed between the lenses  201  adjacent to each other in the x direction as in the fourth embodiment. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  26  and  27   , a gap dy is formed between the lenses  201  adjacent to each other in the y direction as in the fourth embodiment. 
     In the fifth embodiment, the first color layer  241  and the third color layer  233  adjacent to each other in the x direction within the unit pixel P 210 , and the second color layer  242  and the third color layer  233  adjacent to each other in the x direction within the unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     Since the first color layer  241  of the unit pixel P 210  is adjacent to the third color layer  233  of another unit pixel P 210  adjacent on a side opposite to the x direction, the first color layer  241  and the third color layer  233  adjacent thereto in another unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. Similarly, the second color layer  242  and the third color layer  233  adjacent thereto in another unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     Similarly, the third color layer  233  of the unit pixel P 210  and the first color layer  241  or the second color layer  242  of another unit pixel P 210  adjacent on the x direction side constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     In the fifth embodiment, the relationships of w=wx, d=dx, and L=Lx are satisfied in formulas (1) to (5) for any of the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels described above adjacent to each other in the x direction. 
     In the fifth embodiment, the first color layer  241  and the second color layer  242  adjacent to each other in the y direction within the unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     Since the first color layer  241  of the unit pixel P 210  is adjacent to the second color layer  242  of another unit pixel P 210  adjacent on the y direction side, the first color layer  241  and the second color layer  242  adjacent thereto in another unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. Similarly, the second color layer  242  and the first color layer  241  adjacent thereto in another unit pixel P 210  constitute a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively. 
     In the fifth embodiment, the relationships of w=wy, d=dy, and L=Ly are satisfied in formulas (1) to (5) for any of the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels described above adjacent to each other in the y direction. 
     The organic EL display device  200 D of the fifth embodiment has the same configuration as that of the organic EL display device  200  except that the shape and arrangement of the sub-pixels in the color filter  211  are different. 
     According to the organic EL display device  200 D, in which the color filter  211  is provided which satisfies formulas (1) to (5) for the first sub-pixel and second sub-pixel and the first lens and second lens both adjacent to each other in the x direction and the y direction, the front luminance and color reproducibility are improved as in the fourth embodiment. 
     In the examples described in the above embodiments, the light emitting elements are organic EL elements. However, the type of the light emitting elements is not limited to the organic EL element. For example, the light emitting elements may be inorganic LED elements, or the like. 
     In the examples described in the above embodiments, the red, green and blue sub-pixels are disposed in the first sub-pixel region, the second sub-pixel region and the third sub-pixel region, respectively. However, the colors and arrangement positions of the sub-pixels are not limited to the above as long as the unit pixels can perform color display.

     Example 1 
     Example 1 is an example corresponding to the first embodiment. 
     The unit pixel P in Example 1 had a size of Wx=Wy=9 (μm), and each of the first sub-pixel region P 1 , the second sub-pixel region P 2  and the third sub-pixel region P 3  had the x width×y width of 3 μm×9 μm. 
     As shown in Table 1, each of the first color layer  31  (sub-pixel R in Table 1), the second color layer  32  (sub-pixel G in Table 1) and the third color layer  33  (sub-pixel B in Table 1) had the x width×y width of 3 μm×9 μm. 
     Three lenses  1  were provided facing each sub-pixel. Each lens  1  had the x width×y width of 3 μm×3 μm. 
     For manufacturing an organic EL display device  100  of Example 1, a TFT layer was formed on a silicon substrate using a known method such as sputtering or etching. Further, a white organic EL element was formed on the TFT layer using a known method such as vapor deposition, and then silicon nitride was applied thereon by a CVD method. Thus, an organic EL element substrate was formed. 
     The silicon substrate and the white organic EL element correspond to the substrate  6  and the light emitting element  5 , respectively. 
     For manufacturing a filter portion  3 , red, green and blue photosensitive resin compositions of RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1 having the compositions shown in Table 2 below were prepared. The photosensitive resin compositions can also be referred to as photosensitive coloring compositions.

     The lenses  1  and the planarization layer  2  can be formed using a transparent material prepared by removing coloring materials from the photosensitive resin compositions RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1. For example, instead of the coloring materials, inorganic components such as silica, titanium oxide or zirconium oxide dispersion can be added as a refractive index modifier to modify the refractive index. By adjusting the type and content of the refractive index modifier, a refractive index in the range of 1.5 to 1.65, for example, can be obtained. 
     In Example 1, as the materials for the lenses  1  and the planarization layer  2 , titanium oxide for modifying the refractive index to 1.6 was added to a transparent material containing no coloring materials for the photosensitive resin compositions RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1. 
     The organic EL display device  100  of Example 1 was manufactured as follows. 
     A transparent resin composition for forming a planarization film  4  was applied to the organic EL element substrate at a cured film thickness of 0.1 μm using a spinner. Then, the transparent resin composition was cured by heating at 100° C. for 10 minutes in a heating oven to form a planarization film  4 . Thus, a main body  9  was formed. 
     A green photosensitive resin composition GR-1 was applied to the main body  9  at a cured film thickness of 1.2 μm using a spinner. Then, through steps of UV light exposure via a pattern mask, alkali development, washing with water, and drying, a second color layer  32  as a green sub-pixel was preliminary formed in the respective second sub-pixel regions P 2 . Each second color layer  32  had an x width×y width of 3 μm×9 μm. Then, the second color layer  32  preliminary formed was heated at 80° C. for 10 minutes using a heating oven. 
     Subsequently, a first color layer  31  was formed in the first sub-pixel regions P 1  in the same manner as the second color layer  32  except that a red photosensitive resin composition RR-1 was used. 
     Further, a third color layer  33  was formed in the third sub-pixel regions P 3  in the same manner as the second color layer  32  except that a blue photosensitive resin composition BR-1 was used. 
     Thus, a filter portion  3  was formed on the main body  9  of Example 1. 
     After the filter portion  3  was formed, a material for forming lenses  1  and a planarization layer  2  was applied to the filter portion  3  at a cured film thickness of 3 μm using a spinner. Then, the entire coating film was exposed to UV light, followed by heating at 80° C. for 10 minutes in a heating oven for curing the coating film to form a transparent resin layer. 
     Then, the surface of the transparent resin layer was etched by an etch-back method to form convex lenses  1  having a height of 1.5 μm and the x and y widths of 3 μm. Three lenses  1  were formed above each of the first color layer  31 , the second color layer  32  and the third color layer  33 . 
     Subsequently, a cover glass was bonded to a surface of the lenses  1  using Struct Bond (registered trademark) XMF-T107 (trade name; manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) as a sealant. Thus, an organic EL display device  100  of Example 1 was manufactured. 
     Example 2 
     Example 2 is an example corresponding to the third embodiment. 
     The unit pixel P 10  of Example 2 had the same size as that of the unit pixel P. Each of the first sub-pixel region P 11  and the second sub-pixel region P 12  had the x width×y width of 4.5 μm×4.5 μm. The third sub-pixel region P 13  had the x width×y width of 4.5 μm×9 μm. 
     As shown in Table 1, each of the first color layer  41  (sub-pixel R in Table 1) and the second color layer  42  (sub-pixel Gin Table 1) had the x width×y width of 4.5 μm×4.5 μm. 
     The third color layer  43  (sub-pixel B in Table 1) had the x width×y width of 4.5 μm×9 μm. 
     One lens  1  was provided facing for each of the first color layer  41  and the second color layer  42 . Two lenses  1  were provided facing the third color layer  43 . Each lens  1  had the x width×y width of 4.5 μm×4.5 μm. 
     The organic EL display device  100 F of Example 2 was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the size and arrangement of the sub-pixels and the lenses  1  were different. 
     Comparative Example 1 
     Comparative example 1 is an example of the organic EL display device  110  shown in  FIGS.  6  and  7   . 
     As shown in Table 1, the organic EL display device  110  of Comparative Example 1 was the same as the organic EL display device in Example 1 except that the lens  111  in plan view had the x width×y width of 3 μm×9 μm. 
     Comparative Example 2 
     As shown in Table 1, the organic EL display device of Comparative Example 2 was the same as the organic EL display device in Example 2 except that one lens having the x width×y width of 3 μm×9 μm was provided facing the third color layer  43 . 
     &lt;Evaluation&gt; 
     The visibility evaluation for Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was performed. 
     In this evaluation, the organic EL display devices of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were lit in white, observed from the front (z direction) and at oblique angles, and the visibility evaluation was performed based on the brightness by visual inspection. 
     The visibility from the front was determined by whether the screen was bright and easy to see. 
     When the screen was easy to see, it was rated as good (represented by A in Table 1), and when the screen was dark and difficult to see, it was rated as poor (represented by B in Table 1). 
     The visibility at oblique angles was determined based on changes in brightness when the observation angle was changed from 0° to 45° in a plane perpendicular to the x direction, in which the front was taken as 0°. 
     When the changes in brightness were in an acceptable range, it was rated as good (represented by A in Table 1), and when the changes in brightness were unacceptable, it was rated as poor (represented by B in Table 1). 
     &lt;Evaluation Results&gt; 
     As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 and 2, both the visibility from the front and the visibility at oblique angles were good. Therefore, the organic EL display devices of Examples 1 and 2 had good visibility. 
     In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, both the visibility from the front and the visibility at oblique angles were poor. 
     Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had low front luminance and were difficult to see compared with Examples 1 and 2. 
     Further, when observed at oblique angles, changes in brightness depending on the observation angle were large compared with Examples 1 and 2. 
     The reason for this seems to be that the light condensing performance in the y direction is reduced due to elongated lenses being arranged in the y direction in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. 
     Next, Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 of the color filter and the display device according to the fourth embodiment will be described below. Table 3 below shows the configurations and evaluation results of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4.

     Example 3 
     Example 3 is an example corresponding to the fourth embodiment. 
     The unit pixel P in the organic EL display device  200  of Example 3 had a size of Wx=Wy=7.2 (μm), and each of the first sub-pixel region P 201 , the second sub-pixel region P 202  and the third sub-pixel region P 203  had the x width×y width of 2.4 μm×7.2 μm. 
     Each of the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233  (hereinafter, referred to as a sub-pixel) had the x width×y width of 2.4 μm×7.2 μm. 
     A shown in Table 3, each width w in the adjacent direction was 2.4 μm. Each sub-pixel had a thickness t1 of 1.0 μm. The planarization layer  202  had a thickness t2 of 1.2 μm. 
     Three lenses  201  were provided facing each sub-pixel. Each lens  201  had the x width×y width of 2.0 μm×2.0 μm. 
     The lenses  201  were arranged with a gap of 0.4 μm in the x direction, and the optical axes thereof coincided with the centers of the respective sub-pixels in the x direction. The lenses  201  were arranged with a gap of 0.4 μm in the y direction. 
     Therefore, as shown in Table 3, the width L of each lens  201  in the x direction, which is the adjacent direction, was 2.0 μm, and the distance d between the lenses  201  was 0.4 μm. 
     The color filter  210  of Example 3 satisfied all the formulas (1) to (5) in the x direction. 
     For manufacturing an organic EL display device  200  of Example 3, a TFT layer was formed on a silicon substrate using a known method such as sputtering or etching. Further, a white organic EL element was formed on the TFT layer using a known method such as vapor deposition, and then silicon nitride was applied thereon by a CVD method. Thus, an organic EL element substrate was formed. 
     The silicon substrate and the white organic EL element correspond to the substrate  206  and the light emitting element  205 , respectively. 
     For manufacturing a filter portion  203 , red, green and blue photosensitive resin compositions of RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1 having the compositions shown in the above Table 2 were prepared. 
     The lenses  201  and the planarization layer  202  can be formed using a transparent material prepared by removing coloring materials from the photosensitive resin compositions RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1. For example, instead of the coloring materials, inorganic components such as silica, titanium oxide or zirconium oxide dispersion can be added as a refractive index modifier to modify the refractive index. By adjusting the type and content of the refractive index modifier, a refractive index in the range of 1.5 to 1.65, for example, can be obtained. 
     In Example 3, as the materials for the lenses  201  and the planarization layer  202 , titanium oxide for modifying the refractive index to 1.6 was added to a transparent material containing no coloring materials for the photosensitive resin compositions RR-1, GR-1 and BR-1. 
     The organic EL display device  200  of Example 3 was manufactured as follows. 
     A transparent resin composition for forming a planarization film  204  was applied to the organic EL element substrate at a cured film thickness of 0.1 μm using a spinner. Then, the transparent resin composition was cured by heating at 100° C. for 10 minutes in a heating oven to form a planarization film  204 . Thus, a main body  209  was formed. 
     A green photosensitive resin composition GR-1 was applied to the main body  209  at a cured film thickness of 1.2 μm using a spinner. Then, through steps of UV light exposure via a pattern mask, alkali development, washing with water, and drying, a second color layer  232  as a green sub-pixel was preliminary formed in the respective second sub-pixel regions P 202 . Each second color layer  232  had an x width×y width of 2.4 μm×7.2 μm. Then, the second color layer  232  preliminary formed was heated at 80° C. for 10 minutes using a heating oven. 
     Subsequently, a first color layer  231  was formed in the first sub-pixel regions P 201  in the same manner as the second color layer  232  except that a red photosensitive resin composition RR-1 was used. 
     Further, a third color layer  233  was formed in the third sub-pixel regions P 203  in the same manner as the second color layer  232  except that a blue photosensitive resin composition BR-1 was used. 
     Thus, a filter portion  203  was formed on the main body  209  of Example 3. 
     After the filter portion  203  was formed, a material for forming lenses  201  and a planarization layer  202  was applied to the filter portion  203  at a cured film thickness of 2.4 μm using a spinner. Then, the entire coating film was exposed to UV light, followed by heating at 80° C. for 10 minutes in a heating oven for curing the coating film to form a transparent resin layer. 
     Then, the surface of the transparent resin layer was etched by an etch-back method to form convex lenses  201  having a height of 1.2 μm and the x and y widths of 2.0 μm. Three lenses  201  were formed above each of the first color layer  231 , the second color layer  232  and the third color layer  233 . 
     Subsequently, a cover glass was bonded to a surface of the lenses  201  using Struct Bond (registered trademark) XMF-T107 (trade name; manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) as a sealant. Thus, an organic EL display device  200  of Example 3 was manufactured. 
     Example 4 
     Example 4 was the same as Example 3 except that the sub-pixel had a thickness t1 of 1.2 μm and the planarization layer had a thickness t2 of 1.0 μm. 
     The color filter  210  of Example 4 satisfied all the formulas (1) to (5) in the x direction. 
     Comparative Example 3 
     Comparative Example 3 had the same configuration as that of Example 3 except that the sub-pixel had a thickness t1 of 1.2 μm and the lens had the x width×y width of 2.4 μm×2.4 μm. Accordingly, in Comparative Example 3, T=t1+t2=2.4 (μm), w=2.4 (μm), L=2.4 (μm) and d=0 (μm). 
     Comparative Example 3 did not satisfy formulas (2) and (4). 
     Comparative Example 4 
     Comparative Example 4 had the same configuration as that of Example 3 except that the sub-pixel had a thickness t1 of 1.2 μm and the planarization layer had the thickness t2 of 1.4 μm. Accordingly, in Comparative Example 4, T=t1+t2=2.6 (μm), w=2.4 (μm), L=2.4 (μm) and d=0 (μm). 
     Comparative Example 4 did not satisfy formula (2). 
     &lt;Evaluation&gt; 
     The color reproducibility evaluation for Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 was performed. 
     In this evaluation, the organic EL display devices of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were lit in monochromatic red, green and blue, and the display color was observed from the front (z direction). 
     Further, in the organic EL display devices of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4, three types of monochromatic organic EL display devices (hereinafter, referred to as monochromatic devices) in which all the sub-pixels are red, green or blue were manufactured, and the display of each color was observed from the front. The monochromatic devices, in which all the light emitted from the light emitting elements passes through the sub-pixels of the same color, do not cause color mixing. 
     Then, the colors of monochromatic display in the organic EL display devices of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were compared with the display of the same color in the monochromatic devices. 
     When the color of monochromatic display appeared the same as the display color of the monochromatic device for the same color, it was determined that the color reproducibility was good (represented by A in Table 3). 
     When the color of monochromatic display appeared different from the display color of the monochromatic device for the same color, it was determined that the color reproducibility was poor (represented by B in Table 3). 
     &lt;Evaluation Results&gt; 
     As shown in Table 3, the color reproducibility was good in Examples 3 and 4. The reason for this seems to be that, in Examples 3 and 4, in which the color filter  210  satisfied all the formulas (1) to (5), most of light passing through the adjacent sub-pixel was externally emitted through the upper surface  202   a , reducing the intensity of light directed to the front. 
     On the other hand, the color reproducibility was poor in Comparative Examples 3 and 4. The reason for this seems to be that, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, in which some of formulas (1) to (5) were not satisfied, the intensity of light directed to the front increases since the light passing through the adjacent sub-pixel is directed to the front due to the light condensing effect of the lens that faces the adjacent sub-pixel. 
     Some preferred embodiments and modified examples of the present invention have been described with the examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, modified examples and examples. Additions, omissions, substitutions, or any other changes in configurations may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. 
     Further, the present invention is not limited by the foregoing description, but is limited only by the accompanying claims. 
     For example, the light shielding wall in the second embodiment and the modified examples thereof may be provided in the color filter of the third embodiment. 
     The present application addresses the following. The conventional techniques described in the background section have problems as described below. 
     The lenses in PTLs 1 and 2 are provided in order to improve the front luminance of light from the light emitting elements. 
     In PTL 1, the front luminance is improved by condensing light that has been emitted from square organic EL elements and passed through the color filters. In PTL 1, three organic EL elements having a light emitting region of the same shape are arranged in a triangular pattern in each pixel region, and the color filters are also arranged in the same pattern. In addition, the lenses have a circular shape in plan view. Accordingly, in each pixel, gaps between the sub-pixels that form display light having the wavelength components of R, G and B increase in size. In this configuration, increasing the resolution makes the sub-pixels too small, and this makes it difficult to manufacture color filters and may hinder achievement of high resolution. 
     Further, in PTL 1, microlenses are disposed on the color filters composed of sub-pixels respectively producing display light having the wavelength components of red, green and blue, the color filters being provided on the unit pixel with a size of 12 μm×12 μm. Large gaps are provided between the sub-pixels to prevent color mixing from occurring. This decreases the aperture ratio of the color filters and hinders improvement in resolution. 
     In PTL 2, light emitted from a concave-shaped organic layer is condensed by an internal lens, transmitted through a color filter, and externally emitted through an on-chip microlens located at the outermost position. 
     In this configuration, increasing the resolution does not make the color filters too small, but makes the organic layers too small, which may hinder achievement of high luminance. 
     Further, a black matrix formed between the color filters also prevents light from the light emitting elements from being emitted from adjacent color filters. 
     In this case, although the front luminance can be improved and color mixing can be suppressed, manufacturing steps of forming the organic layer into a concave shape and forming a black matrix are required, which results in an increase in the manufacturing cost. 
     For example, one pixel region may be divided in one direction into three sub-pixels. For example, the organic EL elements, the color filters and the lenses may be respectively arranged in rectangular shapes that divide a pixel into three equal parts in one direction. In this case, the sub-pixels in plan view have an elongated rectangular shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is three times the width in the lateral direction. 
     Such a configuration is suitable for achieving high resolution since the sub-pixels can be arranged in the pixel region without a gap. 
     However, lenses elongated in one direction increase the anisotropy in refractive power required in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, and therefore microlenses having high light extraction efficiency cannot be produced. For example, since the radius of curvature in the longitudinal direction becomes too large compared with the radius of curvature in the lateral direction, the lens performance becomes similar to that of a cylindrical lens, resulting in a decrease in light condensing performance in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the front luminance is reduced and the visibility when viewed obliquely in the longitudinal direction tends to be reduced. 
     The present invention has an aspect to provide a color filter and a display device having improved front luminance and visibility even when the sub-pixels in the unit pixel region have a shape elongated in one direction, and having improved front luminance and color reproducibility even with a simple configuration. 
     A color filter according to a first aspect of the present invention includes: a plurality of sub-pixels having transmission wavelength ranges different from each other in a region constituting a unit pixel for color display; and a plurality of lenses facing respective ones of the plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of lenses being configured to condense light passing through the plurality of sub-pixels, wherein at least one of the plurality of sub-pixels is an elongated pixel whose ratio of a length in a longitudinal direction to a length in a lateral direction is larger than 1 when viewed in a thickness direction in which the light passes through the sub-pixels, and at least two lenses configured to condense the light passing through the elongated pixel, among the plurality of lenses, are arranged in the longitudinal direction. 
     In the above color filter, the ratio may be 1.5 or more, and the number of the lenses facing the elongated pixel may be equal to the ratio rounded to a nearest whole number. 
     In the above color filter, the plurality of lenses may be densely arranged in the longitudinal direction. 
     In the above color filter, the plurality of sub-pixels may include three sub-pixels having different transmission wavelength ranges of red, green and blue, and all the three sub-pixels may be the elongated pixels, the three sub-pixels being arranged in parallel in the lateral direction and having the same length in the longitudinal direction. 
     In the above color filter, the plurality of sub-pixels may include: a first sub-pixel having a rectangular shape and having a first transmission wavelength range of one of red, green and blue; a second sub-pixel having a rectangular shape and having a second transmission wavelength range different from the first transmission wavelength range among the red, the green and the blue; and a third sub-pixel which is the elongated pixel having the ratio larger than a ratio of a length in a longitudinal direction to a length in a lateral direction of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel having a third transmission wavelength range different from each of the first transmission wavelength range and the second transmission wavelength range among the red, the green and the blue, wherein the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel may be both adjacent to the third sub-pixel in the lateral direction of the third sub-pixel, and may be arranged adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the third sub-pixel. 
     The above color filter may further include a light shielding wall disposed at least one of between adjacent sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels and on a boundary between the adjacent sub-pixels. 
     A display device according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: the above color filter; and a plurality of light emitting elements facing respective ones of the plurality of sub-pixels. 
     In the above display device, the light emitting element may be an organic EL element. 
     In order to solve the above problems, a color filter according to a third aspect of the present invention includes: a first sub-pixel included in a plurality of sub-pixels constituting a first unit pixel in a color display, the first sub-pixel having a first transmission wavelength range; a first lens facing the first sub-pixel in a thickness direction of the first sub-pixel; a second sub-pixel included in a plurality of sub-pixels constituting the first unit pixel or a second unit pixel adjacent to the first unit pixel, the second sub-pixel having a thickness which is the same as that of the first sub-pixel and a second transmission wavelength range different from the first transmission wavelength range, and being disposed adjacent to the first sub-pixel; a second lens facing the second sub-pixel in a thickness direction of the second sub-pixel, the second lens being disposed adjacent to the first lens in an adjacent direction in which the second sub-pixel is adjacent to the first sub-pixel; and a planarization layer disposed between the first and second sub-pixels and the first and second lenses, wherein the following formulas (1) to (5) are satisfied: 
       &lt;Math. 1&gt; 
         T=t 1+ t 2  (1)
 
         w&gt;T   (2)

       0.8× w≤L&lt;w   (4)
 
         L=w−d   (5)
 
     where t1 is a thickness of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, t2 is a thickness of the planarization layer, w is a width of each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in the adjacent direction, L is a width of each of the first lens and the second lens in the adjacent direction, and d is a distance between the first lens and the second lens in the adjacent direction. 
     In the above color filter, the first unit pixel and the second unit pixel may respectively have transmission wavelength ranges of red, green and blue, which are different from each other, and may include three sub-pixels arranged in the same adjacent direction, the three sub-pixels may have the same length in a direction perpendicular to the adjacent direction, and, among the three sub-pixels, at least one set of the sub-pixels adjacent to each other may satisfy the formulas (1) to (5).
