Abstract

There is provided a display device which quenches ambient light by using only an optical interference effect without additionally using an optical filter such as a color filter, and can provide good visibility out of doors in the daylight. The display device includes a plurality of organic EL elements each having a light extraction electrode, a reflective electrode, and a plurality of organic compound layers disposed between the electrodes, wherein the plurality of organic EL elements include at least organic EL elements which emit a red light, a green light, and a blue light, respectively; a layer comprised of a material having anomalous dispersion is disposed at a location which is on a light extraction side with respect to the reflective electrode in each of the plurality of organic EL elements; and an ambient light reflectance of the display device shows a minimal in a region of 535 nm or more and 575 nm or less.
