Abstract

A display device includes an electronic part, a support part including a through hole overlapping the electronic part, a display part disposed above the support part and including a first area overlapping the through hole, and a second area non-overlapping the through hole, the second area being adjacent to the first area, a polarizing plate disposed above the display part and having a transmission axis parallel to a direction, and a pattern optical layer disposed on the polarizing plate and including first phase retardation parts having a first optical axis, and second phase retardation parts having a second optical axis orthogonal to the first optical axis.

Claims (49)

1. A display device comprising:

an electronic part;

a support part including a through hole overlapping the electronic part;

a display part disposed above the support part and including:

a first area overlapping the through hole; and

a second area non-overlapping the through hole, the second area being adjacent to the first area;

a polarizing plate disposed above the display part and having a transmission axis parallel to a direction; and

a pattern optical layer disposed on the polarizing plate and including:

first phase retardation parts having a first optical axis; and

second phase retardation parts having a second optical axis orthogonal to the first optical axis, wherein the pattern optical layer does not overlap the second area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first optical axis has an intervening angle of about 45±5° in a positive direction with respect to the transmission axis, and

the second optical axis has an intervening angle of about 45±5° in a negative direction with respect to the transmission axis.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern optical layer is a λ/4 phase retarder.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern optical layer overlaps the first area.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts are alternately arranged.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein a total area of the first phase retardation parts and a total area of the second phase retardation parts are the same.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein each of the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts is arranged in a stripe shape.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein each of the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts is arranged to be parallel to or orthogonal to the direction.

9. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

each of the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts has a square shape in a plan view, and

the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts are arranged in a mosaic shape.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the polarizing plate comprises:

a linear polarizing layer;

a first phase retardation layer disposed under the linear polarizing layer; and

a second phase retardation layer disposed between the first phase retardation layer and the linear polarizing layer, and

the first phase retardation layer is a λ/4 phase retarder, and the second phase retardation layer is a λ/2 phase retarder.

11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a window including:

a cover layer; and

a protective layer disposed on the cover layer and having a phase retardation of about 5000 nm or more.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a shock absorbing layer disposed on an upper side of the pattern optical layer and having a phase retardation of about 5000 nm or more.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate is directly disposed on the display part.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern optical layer is directly disposed on the polarizing plate.

15. A display device comprising:

a display part;

a camera disposed below the display part and capturing an image in a front direction of the display part;

a polarizing plate disposed above the display part and including a linear polarizing layer having a transmission axis in a direction; and

a pattern optical layer overlapping the camera and disposed above the polarizing plate, the pattern optical layer including:

first phase retardation parts having a first optical axis; and

second phase retardation parts having a second optical axis orthogonal to the first optical axis, wherein

the display part includes a first area overlapping the camera, and a second area adjacent too the first area, and

the pattern optical layer does not overlap the second area.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein

the first optical axis has an intervening angle of about 45±5 degrees in a positive direction with respect to the transmission axis, and

the second optical axis has an intervening angle of about 45±5 degrees in a negative direction with respect to the transmission axis.

17. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the pattern optical layer is a λ/4 phase retarder.

18. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the first phase retardation parts and the second phase retardation parts are alternately arranged.

19. The display device of claim 15 , wherein a total area of the first phase retardation parts and a total area of the second phase retardation parts are the same.
