Optical display

An optical display having a display region and a non-display region, the optical display comprising:

• an optical display element comprising a second substrate, a first substrate facing the second substrate, a dummy region on the first substrate, and a metal interconnection layer on the first substrate;
• and
• a first polarizing plate on an upper surface of the optical display element, the first polarizing plate having a light shielding layer therein to conceal at least a portion of the metal interconnection layer,
• wherein:
• the light shielding layer comprises a plurality of printed patterns separated from each other and each printed pattern of the plurality of printed patterns comprises a first printed layer,
• the first printed layer of a first printed pattern of the plurality of printed patterns comprises a first point at an interface between the display region and the non-display region,
• the first printed layer of the first printed pattern comprises a second point at a vertex of the first printed layer that is closest to the first point,
• the first printed layer of a second printed pattern of the plurality of printed patterns adjacent to the first printed layer of the first printed pattern comprises a third point at the interface,
• the first printed layer of the second printed pattern comprises a fourth point at a vertex of the first printed layer of the second printed pattern that is closest to the third point, and
• the first printed layer of the first printed pattern and the first printed pattern of the second printed pattern satisfy Equation 1:
• H≤P/2, Equation 1
• wherein H is a minimum value among a distance from the interface between the display region and the non-display region to the second point and a distance from the interface between the display region and the non-display region to the fourth point, and P is a width of the dummy region.
