Display device
Provided is a display device in which generation of a ghost can be restrained. A polarizing plate is disposed adjacently to a display section. A ¼ wavelength plate is disposed adjacently to the polarizing plate. A polarizing plate is disposed adjacently to a lens. A ¼ wavelength plate is disposed adjacently to the polarizing plate. A beam splitter is disposed between the ¼ wavelength plate and the ¼ wavelength plate. The beam splitter is disposed at such a position that the air-equivalent optical path length of light that is reflected by the polarizing plate and is thereafter reflected by the beam splitter from emission of the light from the display section to transmission of the light through the lens and the air-equivalent optical path length of light that is reflected by the beam splitter and is thereafter reflected by the polarizing plate from emission of the light from the display section to transmission of the light through the lens are equal.
1. A display device comprising:
a display section that displays a video;
a lens;
a first polarizing plate disposed adjacently to the display section;
a first ¼ wavelength plate disposed adjacently to the first polarizing plate;
a second polarizing plate disposed adjacently to the lens;
a second ¼ wavelength plate disposed adjacently to the second polarizing plate; and
a beam splitter disposed between the first ¼ wavelength plate and the second ¼ wavelength plate,
wherein the beam splitter is disposed at such a position that an air-equivalent optical path length of first light that is reflected by the second polarizing plate and is thereafter reflected by the beam splitter from emission of the first light from the display section to transmission of the first light through the lens and an air-equivalent optical path length of second light that is reflected by the beam splitter and is thereafter reflected by the first polarizing plate from emission of the second light from the display section to transmission of the second light through the lens are equal.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the beam splitter is disposed at such a position that an air-equivalent optical path length from a surface on the lens side of the first ¼ wavelength plate to a mirror surface of the beam splitter and an air-equivalent optical path length from a surface on the display section side of the second ¼ wavelength plate to the mirror surface of the beam splitter are equal.
3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first polarizing plate is in contact with the first ¼ wavelength plate, and
the second polarizing plate is in contact with the second ¼ wavelength plate.
