Abstract
Provided is a display device including an array substrate, a pixel, a dimming element, and a counter substrate. The pixel is located over the array substrate and includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a liquid crystal layer over the first electrode and the second electrode. The dimming element is located over the array substrate and includes a third electrode, the liquid crystal layer over the third electrode, and a fourth electrode over the liquid crystal layer. The counter substrate is located over the fourth electrode.
Claims9
An imaging device comprising:
- two image sensors;
- two diming elements respectively above the image sensors, the dimming elements comprising an array substrate having lower electrodes, a counter substrate having upper electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the counter substrate,
- two pairs of waveplates sandwiching the array substrate, each pair of the two pairs of waveplates only overlapping one of the two image sensors, respectively, in a plan view;
- a pair of linear polarizing plates sandwiching the two pairs of waveplates;
- a plurality of pixels in a display region surrounding the two dimming elements;
- and
- color filters in the plurality of pixels,
- wherein the color filters are not placed in the dimming element.
