1. A display apparatus comprising:
- an excitation light source that outputs excitation light;
a light-emitting device including a photoluminescent layer that receives the excitation light andemits light including first light having a wavelength λ
a in air, and a light-transmissive layer located on or near the photoluminescent layer;
an optical shutter on an optical path of the light emitted from the photoluminescent layer;
a color filter array on an incident side of the optical shutter on which the light from the photoluminescent layer is incident or on an output side of the optical shutter from which the light is output, the color filter array including color filters having different transparent wavelength bands; and
a drive circuit that drives the optical shutter in response to an image signal,wherein a surface structure is defined on at least one of the photoluminescent layer and the light-transmissive layer, andthe surface structure has projections or recesses or both and limits a directional angle of the first light having the wavelength λ
a in air.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes an excitation light source that outputs excitation light; a light-emitting device including a photoluminescent layer that receives the excitation light and emits light including first light having a wavelength λa in air, and a light-transmissive layer located on or near the photoluminescent layer; and an optical shutter on an optical path of the light emitted from the photoluminescent layer. A surface structure is defined on at least one of the photoluminescent layer and the light-transmissive layer, and the surface structure has projections or recesses or both and limits a directional angle of the first light having the wavelength λa in air.
