Abstract

A display device is provided. The display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a cover lens, a first optical film and a first polarized film. The liquid crystal display panel is vertical alignment mode. The cover lens is disposed on a light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The first optical film having a ¼ wavelength retardation effect is disposed between the liquid crystal display panel and the cover lens. A gap layer is formed between the first optical film and the liquid crystal display panel. The first polarized film is disposed between the first optical film and the cover lens.

Claims (30)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel, wherein the liquid crystal display panel is vertical alignment mode;

a cover lens disposed on a light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel;

a first optical film disposed between the liquid crystal display panel and the cover lens, wherein the first optical film has a ¼ wavelength retardation effect, the first optical film comprises a ¼ wavelength retardation film, and a gap layer is disposed between the first optical film and the liquid crystal display panel;

a first phase compensation film disposed between the first optical film and the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the gap layer is disposed between the first phase compensation film and the first optical film; and

a first polarized film disposed between the first optical film and the cover lens.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the gap layer is substantially smaller than a refractive index of the liquid crystal display panel.

3. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the gap layer comprises an air layer.

4. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a light axis of the first phase compensation film is perpendicular to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the gap layer is substantially smaller than a refractive index of the first phase compensation film.

6. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a second phase compensation film, a second ¼ wavelength retardation film and a second polarized film, disposed on the other surface of the liquid crystal display panel oppositely to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

7. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a first ½ wavelength retardation film disposed between the first optical film and the first polarized film.

8. The display panel of claim 7 , further comprising a second ½ wavelength retardation film disposed on the other surface of the liquid crystal display panel oppositely to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

9. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a touch panel disposed between the first polarized film and the cover lens.

10. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a touch panel disposed between the liquid crystal display panel and the gap layer.

11. The display panel of claim 10 , wherein components of the touch panel are disposed on the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

12. The display panel of claim 10 , wherein a refractive index of the gap layer is substantially smaller than a refractive index of the touch panel.

13. A display panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel, wherein the liquid crystal display panel is vertical alignment mode;

a cover lens disposed on a light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel;

a first optical film disposed between the liquid crystal display panel and the cover lens, wherein the first optical film has a ¼ wavelength retardation effect, the first optical film comprises a first biaxial optical film, a light axis of the first biaxial optical film is perpendicular to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and a gap layer is disposed between the first optical film and the liquid crystal display panel; and

a first polarized film disposed between the first optical film and the cover lens.

14. The display panel of claim 13 , further comprising a second biaxial optical film and a second polarized film disposed on the other surface of the liquid crystal display panel oppositely to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

15. The display panel of claim 14 , wherein an included angle between a slow light axis of the first biaxial optical film and a slow light axis of the second biaxial optical film is substantially 90°.

16. The display panel of claim 13 , further comprising a first ½ wavelength retardation film disposed between the first optical film and the first polarized film.

17. The display panel of claim 16 , further comprising a second ½ wavelength retardation film disposed on the other surface of the liquid crystal display panel oppositely to the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

18. The display panel of claim 13 , further comprising a touch panel disposed between the first polarized film and the cover lens.

19. The display panel of claim 13 , further comprising a touch panel disposed between the liquid crystal display panel and the gap layer.

20. The display panel of claim 19 , wherein components of the touch panel are disposed on the light exit surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

21. The display panel of claim 19 , wherein a refractive index of the gap layer is substantially smaller than a refractive index of the touch panel.
