Abstract
An electronic mirror device includes: a liquid crystal panel that displays an image; a linearly reflective polarizing layer that transmits a polarization component of incident light in a first direction and reflects a polarization component of the incident light in a second direction different from the first direction; a glass that transmits the incident light; and a PET film bonded to the glass. The linearly reflective polarizing layer is disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the PET film. The PET film contains polyethylene terephthalate and has a retardation value in a range of 2000 nm or more and 4000 nm or less. An angle between a slow axis of the PET film and a polarization reflection axis of the linearly reflective polarizing layer is 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less.
Claims14
A display device comprising:
- a display panel that displays an image;
- a reflective polarizing layer that transmits a polarization component of incident light in a first direction and reflects a polarization component of the incident light in a second direction different from the first direction;
- a transparent plate that transmits the incident light;
- and
- a retardation film bonded to the transparent plate, wherein
- the reflective polarizing layer is disposed between the display panel and the retardation film,
- the retardation film contains polyethylene terephthalate and has a retardation value in a range of 2000 nm or more and 4000 nm or less,
- an angle between a slow axis of the retardation film and a polarization reflection axis of the reflective polarizing layer is 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less,
- a slow axis at a first point in the retardation film is more inclined toward a third direction than a slow axis at a second point in the retardation film, and
- the first point is closer to an end of the retardation film in a fourth direction, perpendicular to the third direction, than the second point.
