Abstract
A display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other, a reflecting layer, which reflects light incident on the reflecting layer, on the first substrate, a polarizing layer which is disposed on the second substrate and includes a polarizing portion that polarizes light incident on the polarizing portion and a reflecting portion that reflects light incident on the reflecting portion, a liquid crystal layer between the reflecting layer and the polarizing layer, and a retardation layer between the liquid crystal layer and the polarizing layer.
Claims26
A display device comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other;
- a reflecting layer on the first substrate, the reflecting layer reflects light incident on the reflecting layer;
- a polarizing layer which is disposed on the second substrate and comprises:
- a polarizing portion which polarizes light incident on the polarizing portion;
- and
- a reflecting portion which reflects light incident on the reflecting portion;
- a liquid crystal layer between the reflecting layer and the polarizing layer;
- and
- a retardation layer between the liquid crystal layer and the polarizing layer,
- wherein the polarizing portion is connected to the reflecting portion.
A display device comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other;
- a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- a backlight unit which is disposed on the first substrate opposite to the second substrate and provides light to the first substrate;
- an upper polarizing layer which is disposed on the second substrate and comprises:
- a polarizing portion which polarizes light incident on the polarizing portion;
- and
- a reflecting portion which reflects light incident on the reflecting portion;
- and
- a lower polarizing layer between the first substrate and the backlight unit,
- wherein the upper polarizing layer further comprises:
- a plurality of color filters disposed on the polarizing portion, and
- a thin color filter corresponding to the reflecting portion, wherein the thickness of the thin color filter is less than that of the plurality of color filters.
