Why is $E$ open in $D$?

I am reading through the proof of the following in Aupetit's A Primer on Spectral Theory.




Let $f$ be an analytic function from a domain $D$ of $mathbbC$ into a Banach algebra $A$. Suppose that $textSp(f(lambda)) subset mathbbR$ for all $lambda in D$, then $textSp(f(lambda))$ is constant on $D$.

I was able to prove that $E$ is closed in $D$, but I fail to see why $E$ is open. Can anyone please help explain to me why this is true?

          That is exactly what is shown in the part of the proof that precedes the definition of $E$: for some positive $delta$, the $delta$-neighborhood of $lambda_0$ is in $E$, as $Sp f(lambda)$ is constant there.
