Abstract
A field lens and a display device are provided. The field lens includes a lens body and an optical structure. The lens body includes at least two layers of gratings. Along a direction perpendicular to a plane where the lens body is located, the lens body includes a first side and a second side. The optical structure is located on a side of at least one grating layer close to the second side. The optical structure is used to block at least part of the visible light from being incident on one side of the lens body and/or to block at least part of the visible light from being emitted toward the second side of the lens body after being reflected by the gratings.
