Patent ID: 7012367

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a substrate; a plurality of luminescent elements formed on the substrate, each of the luminescent elements comprising a pixel electrode, a functional layer facing the pixel electrode, and a counter electrode; and bank sections and light blocking layers respectively allocated to the luminescent elements for separating the luminescent elements from each other, wherein each of the bank sections comprises a first bank layer located on the substrate side, and a second bank layer formed on the first bank layer, each of the light blocking layers is provided between the first and second bank layers, the first bank layer, the second bank layer, and the light blocking layer respectively define a first bank layer opening, a second bank layer opening, and a light blocking layer opening, in which the functional layer is formed, the first bank layer is superimposed on the pixel electrode, and the second bank layer opening and the light blocking layer opening are wider than the first bank layer opening.
