Display apparatus and imaging apparatus
In a display apparatus body ( 10 A), a first polarization plate ( 31 ), a first wave plate ( 32 ), a reflection layer ( 33 ), a second wave plate ( 35 ), and a second polarization plate ( 36 ) are arranged between a display element (De) and a lens (S) and are lined up in this order from the display element (De) toward the lens (S). Further, the reflection layer ( 33 ) includes reflection regions (E 1 ) that correspond to positions of non-light emission regions (R 2 ) of the display element (De) and that reflect light and includes light transmission regions (E 2 ) that correspond to positions of a plurality of light emission regions (R 1 ) and that transmit light. This can obtain a display apparatus that can improve the use efficiency of light emitted from a display element.
