A display unit has R, G, and B light-emitting pixels arranged in a predetermined
sequence. The R pixels and the B pixels each have a G-light-absorbing filter at
the image display side (light output side or external-light incident side) thereof.
The G pixels have no filters. The R and B light-emitting pixels each have a composite
structure including a reflective layer, an organic EL layer, and a translucent
reflective layer. The translucent reflective layer and the reflective layer constitute
an optical resonator that causes multiple interference of light. The transmittance
of the G-light-absorbing filter is minimized at the G wavelength, at which the
sensitivity of the naked eye is high, and maximized at the R and B wavelengths.
Furthermore, the external light reflectance of each pixel is minimized at the G
wavelength. This display unit significantly suppresses a decrease in contrast caused
by external light without a decrease in luminance of an image.
