Claims7
A display device for displaying an image to a user, the display device comprising:
- a display panel including a plurality of pixels for forming the image and a non-pixel area between neighboring pixel areas among a plurality of pixel areas, the display panel being configured to display the image in an upward direction from an upper surface that faces the user;
- and
- a reflective panel on the upper surface of the display panel, the reflective panel configured to selectively transmit or reflect light with respect to an area corresponding to the image, the reflective panel including:
- a first transparent electrode corresponding to a pixel area;
- a neighboring electrode that neighbors the first transparent electrode and corresponds to a non-pixel area;
- a second transparent electrode corresponding to the pixel area, the second transparent electrode being arranged opposite to the first transparent electrode;
- a space interposed between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode;
- and
- charged particles in the space, the charged particles reflecting light,
- wherein when an electric field is a lied to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, the charged particles are located in a second transparent electrode side corresponding to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode and light incident to the reflective panel passes through a portion of the reflective panel and is received by the non-pixel area of the display panel.
