Patent ID: 7864268

Claim:
A display device comprising: a first light-transmissive substrate and a second light-transmissive substrate which are provided so as to face each other; a display element provided between the first light-transmissive substrate and the second light-transmissive substrate; a first layer including first stack of polarizers outside the first light-transmissive substrate; and a second layer including second stack of polarizers outside the second light-transmissive substrate, wherein: polarizers in each of the first stack of polarizers and the second stack of polarizers have different wavelength distributions of extinction coefficients of absorption axes, absorption axes of polarizers in the first stack of polarizers are in a parallel nicol state, absorption axes of polarizers in the second stack of polarizers are in a parallel nicol state, the absorption axes of a polarizers in the first stack of polarizers and those of a polarizers in the second stack of polarizers are deviated from a cross nicol state, and an absolute value of an angle of a deviation of the absorption axes of the polarizers in the first stack of polarizers from those of the polarizers in the second stack of polarizers is more than 0Â° and equal to or less than 3Â°.
