Patent ID: 7671528

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a substrate; a plurality of pixels, arranged above the substrate, each pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels which emit light of different colors and each of which include a light-emitting diode including a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode arranged above the substrate in that order; and a circularly polarizing member disposed above the pixels, the transmittance of light of a selected one color of said different colors through the circularly polarizing member being higher than that of light of the other of said different colors therethrough, wherein the sub-pixels, emitting light of the selected color each have a first reflecting plane located at a position closer to the first electrode than the light-emitting layer and a second reflecting plane located at a position closer to the second electrode than the light-emitting layer and the optical distance between the first and second reflecting planes is set such that an external light component which is reflected by the first reflecting plane and which has a wavelength corresponding to the selected color interferes with an external light component which is reflected by the second reflecting plane and which has a wavelength corresponding to the selected color, thereby attenuating the external light components.
