Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a backlight unit, and a capturing unit. The display panel includes a polarizing plate having a first polarizing axis parallel to a first direction, an isotropic diffuser including an anisotropic region having a transmission axis parallel to the first direction and a diffusing axis parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the polarizing plate and the anisotropic diffuser. The backlight unit is disposed at a rear side of the anisotropic diffuser and generates a first light linearly polarized in the second direction. The capturing unit is disposed at a rear side of the anisotropic region and captures an image of a subject at a front side of the display panel.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel including a first polarizing plate having a first polarizing axis substantially parallel to a first direction, a backlight unit which generates a light, a diffusion plate interposed between the first polarizing plate and the backlight unit, the diffusion plate includes an anisotropic area having a transmission axis substantially parallel to the first direction and a diffusion axis substantially perpendicular to a second direction, where the second direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and a photographic unit interposed between the anisotropic area and the backlight unit, where the photographic unit captures an image of an object transmitted to the photographic unit through the display panel.

Abstract: A display device includes a backlight assembly generating a light and a display panel receiving the light to display an image. The backlight assembly includes a light emitting unit, a light guide plate, a prism plate, and a reflective polarizing plate. The light guide plate guides the light emitted from the light emitting unit to the display panel. The prism plate is disposed between the light guide plate and the display panel and includes reverse prisms to refract the light. The reflective polarizing plate is disposed between the prism plate and the display panel.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a first display panel. The first display panel includes a first display area and a first non-display area. The first display area includes a first pixel part and a second pixel part. The second pixel part is configured to display a first image. The display apparatus further includes a second display panel. The second display panel includes a second display area and a second non-display area. The second display area including a third pixel part and a fourth pixel part. The fourth pixel part is configured to display a second image. The display apparatus further includes an optical member. The optical member includes a first set of optical units and a second set of optical units. The first set of optical units is connected to the second set of optical units. The first set of optical units is connected to the second pixel part for displaying a third image, the third image corresponding to the first image.

Abstract: A multi-panel display apparatus includes at least two display panels and an optical member. Each display panel includes a display area and a connection non-display area. The optical member displays light emitted from peripheral regions of the display areas of the display panels. The optical member includes an adhesive layer between laminated sheets. Each sheet includes a base film made of a transparent material having a first refractive index and a reflection layer at a surface of the base film made of metal. The adhesive layer is made of a material having a second refractive index less than the first refractive index.
