Abstract

Provided is a display device including a first display, the first display includes a first substrate, a first electrode on the first substrate, a second electrode on the first electrode, a second substrate on the second electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the liquid crystal layer includes a liquid crystal and a black dye, and the black dye includes at least one of a first black dye, a second black dye, and a third black dye. The first black dye is a compound in which three naphthalene rings are connected via two azo groups, the second black dye is a compound in which two naphthalene rings and one aromatic group are connected via two azo groups, and the third black dye is a compound in which three naphthalene rings and one aromatic group are connected via three azo groups.

Claims (69)

1. A display device comprising a first display, wherein the first display includes:
