Abstract

It is an object to propose a display device in which reflection of external light on a reflective polarizing plate is prevented and also extraction efficiency of light from a light-emitting layer is improved. If the display device has a light-emitting layer provided over a reflective electrode, a transparent electrode provided over the light-emitting layer, a transparent substrate provided over the transparent electrode, a reflective polarizing plate provided over the transparent substrate, a quarter wave plate provided over the reflective polarizing plate, and a polarizing plate provided over the quarter wave plate, reflection of an outside image can be suppressed, and light emitted in the light-emitting layer can be extracted efficiently.

Claims (24)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first electrode over a substrate;

a light-emitting layer over the first electrode;

a second electrode over the light-emitting layer;

a layer adjacent to the substrate, wherein particles each having a different size are dispersed in the layer;

a reflective polarizing plate over and in contact with the layer;

a quarter wave plate over and in contact with the reflective polarizing plate; and

a polarizing plate over and in contact with the quarter wave plate.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the second electrode is a reflective electrode.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the layer is a scattering layer.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is located between the first electrode and the layer.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic apparatus is one selected from the group consisting of a television, an information terminal device, a camera, and a telephone set.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first electrode over a glass substrate;

a light-emitting layer over the first electrode;

a second electrode over the light-emitting layer;

a layer adjacent to the glass substrate, wherein particles each having a different size are dispersed in the layer;

a reflective polarizing plate over and in contact with the layer;

a quarter wave plate over and in contact with the reflective polarizing plate; and

a polarizing plate over and in contact with the quarter wave plate.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the second electrode is a reflective electrode.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the layer is a scattering layer.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the glass substrate is located between the first electrode and the layer.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic apparatus is one selected from the group consisting of a television, an information terminal device, a camera, and a telephone set.
