Display device having stacked polarizers arranged with transmission axes that deviate from parallel nicol state and wherein extinction coefficients of absorption axes are the same

摘要

It is an object to provide a display device with the high contrast ratio by an easy method. In addition, it is an object to provide such a high performance display device at low cost. In a display device including a display element between a pair of light transmitting substrates, a layer including stacked polarizers is each provided on an outer side of the substrates. At that time, the stacked polarizers on a viewing side are arranged to deviate from a parallel nicol state. In addition, a retardation film may be provided between the stacked polarizers and the substrate.
