Abstract

A display includes: a light emitting layer; a reflective section reflecting light, that enters through the light emitting layer, to a display surface; an absorption-type polarizing plate provided on the display surface; a retardation film provided between the light emitting layer and the absorption-type polarizing plate; a reflection-type polarizing plate provided between the retardation film and the absorption-type polarizing plate, and reflecting, among light transmitted by the retardation film, light in a predetermined light-axis direction; and an outside-light reflection suppression layer provided between the light emitting layer and the reflection-type polarizing plate, and absorbing part of outside light.

Claims (31)

1. A display, comprising:

a light emitting layer;

a reflective section reflecting light, that enters through the light emitting layer, to a display surface;

an absorption-type polarizing plate provided on the display surface;

a retardation film provided between the light emitting layer and the absorption-type polarizing plate, wherein the retardation film comprises a triacetylcellulose (TAC) layer and a wave plate;

a reflection-type polarizing plate provided between the retardation film and the absorption-type polarizing plate, and reflecting, among light transmitted by the retardation film, light in a predetermined light-axis direction; and

an outside-light reflection suppression layer provided within the retardation film and between the light emitting layer and the reflection-type polarizing plate, and absorbing part of outside light, wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer serves as an overcoat layer provided on a surface of the wave plate facing the light emitting layer, and wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer includes TAC and a dye.

2. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the wave plate is provided between the light emitting layer and the triacetylcellulose (TAC) layer.

3. The display according to claim 1 , further comprising a counter substrate, wherein the counter substrate is provided between light emitting layer and the outside-light reflection suppression layer.

4. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a light transmittance of the outside-light reflection suppression layer is within a range of 71% to 95% both inclusive.

5. The display according to claim 4 , wherein the light transmittance of the outside-light reflection suppression layer is more than 75%.

6. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective section serves as an electrode that applies an electric field to the light emitting layer.

7. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer includes a resin and a dye.

8. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer is configured of an organic layer.

9. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the retardation film is a quarter retardation film.

10. An electronic system with a display, the display comprising:

a light emitting layer;

a reflective section reflecting light, that enters through the light emitting layer, to a display surface;

an absorption-type polarizing plate provided on the display surface;

a retardation film provided between the light emitting layer and the absorption-type polarizing plate;

a reflection-type polarizing plate provided between the retardation film and the absorption-type polarizing plate, and reflecting, among light transmitted by the retardation film, light in a predetermined light-axis direction; and

an outside-light reflection suppression layer provided between the light emitting layer and the reflection-type polarizing plate, and absorbing part of outside light, and wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer includes TAC and a dye.

11. The electronic system with a display according to claim 10 , further comprising a color filter layer provided between the retardation film and the light emitting layer, wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer serves as an overcoat layer provided on a surface that faces the light emitting layer of the color filter layer.

12. The electronic system with a display according to claim 11 , wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer is provided in part of the color filter layer.

13. A display, comprising:

a light emitting layer;

a reflective section reflecting light, that enters through the light emitting layer, to a display surface;

an outside-light reflection suppression layer provided on the display surface, wherein the outside-light reflection suppression layer includes triacetylcellulose (TAC) and a dye;

a retardation film provided between the light emitting layer and the outside-light reflection suppression layer;

a reflection-type polarizing plate provided between the retardation film and the outside-light reflection suppression layer, and reflecting, among light transmitted by the retardation film, light in a predetermined light-axis direction; and

an absorption-type polarizing plate between the outside-light reflection suppression layer and the reflection-type polarizing plate, and absorbing part of outside light.
