Patent ID: 8451537

Claim:
A video viewing facility comprising: a self-luminous display; and a circularly polarized light source provided outside the self-luminous display, wherein the self-luminous display includes in order from the circularly polarized light source: a first wave plate having a function of converting circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light; a polarizing film; a second wave plate having a function of converting circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light; a circularly polarized light separating film having a function of separating a display light emitted from a self-luminous panel into right circularly polarized light and left circularly polarized light, reflecting one of the right circularly polarized light and the left circularly polarized light and transmitting the other of the right circularly polarized light and the left circularly polarized light therethrough; and the self-luminous panel, wherein the first wave plate is arranged such that circularly polarized light emitted from the circularly polarized light source is converted into linearly polarized light by the first wave plate and then the linearly polarized light is absorbed in the polarizing film, and wherein the second wave plate is arranged such that circularly polarized light passed through the circularly polarized light separating film is converted into linearly polarized light by the second wave plate and then the linearly polarized light passes through the polarizing film.
