Patent ID: 7738055

Claim:
A display device comprising: a first light-transmitting substrate and a second light-transmitting substrate which are disposed to face each other; a display element sandwiched between the first light-transmitting substrate and the second light-transmitting substrate; and a layer including stacked polarizers on an outer side of the first light-transmitting substrate or the second light-transmitting substrate, wherein: the stacked polarizers are arranged so that their absorption axes are deviated from a parallel Nicols state, a distribution of a degree to which a first one of the stacked polarizers absorbs light across a band of wavelengths differs from a distribution of a degree to which a second one of the stacked polarizers absorbs light across the band of wavelengths, and the stacked polarizers are provided between a pair of protective layers arranged such that no protective layer is located between the stacked polarizers.
