Abstract

A flat display device includes a flat display panel, an upper polarizing plate disposed on a light exit plane of the flat display panel, and a lower polarizing plate disposed on a light entrance plane of the flat display panel. The upper polarizing plate includes a wide view film, and its absorption axis and a horizontal view direction of the flat display panel have an included angle of about 15 degrees. The absorption axis of the lower polarizing plate and the horizontal view direction of the flat display panel have an included angle of about 105 degrees.

Claims (20)

1. A flat display device, comprising:

a flat display panel;

an upper polarizing plate disposed on a light exit plane of the flat display panel, the upper polarizing plate comprising a wide view (WV) film, where an absorption axis of the upper polarizing plate and a horizontal view direction of the flat display panel has an included angle of 15 degrees; and

a lower polarizing plate disposed on a light entrance plane of the flat display panel, where an absorption axis of the lower polarizing plate and the horizontal view direction of the flat display panel has an included angle of 105 degrees;

wherein a left horizontal viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 30 degrees, a right horizontal viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 30 degrees, an upper vertical viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 40 degrees, and a lower vertical viewing angle of the flat display device is larger than 80 degrees.

2. The flat display device of claim 1 , wherein the wide view film is an excellent wide view (EWV) film or a super wide view (SWV) film.

3. The flat display device of claim 1 , wherein the upper polarizing plate and the lower polarizing plate individually comprise at least one triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film.

4. The flat display device of claim 3 , wherein the upper polarizing plate or the lower polarizing plate further comprises a brightness enhancement film (BEF) in an outer side of the TAC film.

5. The flat display device of claim 1 , wherein the wide view film of the upper polarizing plate is a WV TAC film.

6. The flat display device of claim 1 , wherein the upper polarizing plate or the lower polarizing plate comprises a surface undergoing anti-glare treatment, series anti-glare treatment (SAG) or hard-coating treatment.

7. A flat display device, comprising:

a flat display panel;

an upper polarizing plate disposed on a light exit plane of the flat display panel, where an absorption axis of the upper polarizing plate and a horizontal view direction of the flat display panel has an included angle of 75 degrees; and

a lower polarizing plate disposed on a light entrance plane of the flat display panel, the lower polarizing plate comprising a wide view (WV) film, where an absorption axis of the lower polarizing plate and the horizontal view direction of the flat display panel has an included angle of 165 degrees;

wherein a left horizontal viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 30 degrees, a right horizontal viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 30 degrees, an upper vertical viewing angle of the flat display device is smaller than 40 degrees, and a lower vertical viewing angle of the flat display device is larger than 80 degrees.

8. The flat display device of claim 7 , wherein the wide view film is an excellent wide view (EWV) film or a super wide view (SWV) film.

9. The flat display device of claim 7 , wherein the upper polarizing plate and the lower polarizing plate individually comprises at least one triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film.

10. The flat display device of claim 9 , wherein the upper polarizing plate or the lower polarizing plate further comprises a brightness enhancement film (BEF) in an outer side of the TAC film.

11. The flat display device of claim 7 , wherein the wide view film of the lower polarizing plate is a WV TAC film.

12. The flat display device of claim 7 , wherein the upper polarizing plate or the lower polarizing plate comprises a surface undergoing anti-glare treatment, series anti-glare treatment or hard-coating treatment.
