Patent number: 8514350Abstract: There is provided is a display device capable of suppressing deterioration of the color conversion layer which converts one color light into another color light, and realizing favorable handling and a display device using the color conversion layer, and a color conversion sheet. A phosphor sheet 10 is, for example, arranged immediately above a light source such as a blue light emitting diode, and obtained by sealing a phosphor layer 11, which converts a part of blue light into another color light, by sealing sheets 12A and 12B.
