Abstract:
1. A polarization structure for a display device comprising: a retardation layer configured to produce a phase difference between at least two polarization components of a light incident on and provided by the display device; a polarizing layer, having an adsorption axis along a first direction, formed over the retardation layer, wherein the polarizing layer includes a first region and a second region; and a polarizing pattern formed only in the second region, wherein the polarizing pattern has an adsorption axis along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first and second regions correspond to display and peripheral regions of the display device, respectively, wherein the peripheral region surrounds at least one side of the display region, and wherein the phase differenced light produced by the retardation layer is substantially blocked in the second region by the combination of the polarizing layer and the polarizing pattern.
