Patent ID: 7687988

Claim:
A display device comprising: a first light-transmissive substrate and a second light-transmissive substrate opposed to each other; a display element disposed between the first and second light-transmissive substrates; first stacked polarizing plates adjacent to the first light-transmissive substrate wherein the first light-transmissive substrate is located between the display element and the first stacked polarizing plates; second stacked polarizing plates adjacent to the second light-transmissive substrate wherein the second light-transmissive substrate is located between the display element and the second stacked polarizing plates, wherein absorption axes of the first stacked polarizing plates are arranged in a parallel nicol state, wherein absorption axes of the second stacked polarizing plates are arranged in a parallel nicol state, and wherein the absorption axes of the first stacked polarizing plates are arranged relative to the absorption axes of the second stacked polarizing plates in a cross nicol state.
