Abstract: Display devices and electronic devices that reduce color mixture while reducing a decrease in brightness and a decrease in a protective function of light emitting elements are disclosed. In one example, a display device includes light emitting elements that include first electrodes, an organic layer, a second electrode, a protective layer, and color filters. Subpixels corresponding to the respective light emitting elements are formed. A ring-shaped lens including a convex surface portion that is convex in a direction away from a substrate is provided in a peripheral edge portion of each of the subpixels. A refractive index of the lens is higher than a refractive index of an outer portion of the lens in contact with the convex surface portion.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical element which can suppress a production cost, has good heat resistance, uniformly maintains the fixed orientation of a liquid crystal polymer in a wide temperature range, shows a low haze with reliability, and can maintain desired birefringence property with reliability. The present invention relates to an optical element formed by forming, on an upper surface of a base material having light transmittance, at least a birefringence layer having a structure obtained by fixing liquid crystal monomers each having a polymerizable group at a terminal thereof in a state where the monomers are homeotropically oriented, and by removing an additive layer formed on the upper surface of the birefringence layer.

Abstract: The invention intends to provide a liquid crystal display device that, even when a liquid crystal is fixed without completely maintaining a homeotropically aligned state, may effectively inhibit light from leaking.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing an optical element the haze of which is efficiently reduced and an apparatus for producing the optical element.

Abstract: A display board with a retardation control function has a retardation control layer containing liquid crystalline polymers with a fixed orientation, and a liquid crystal layer. The display board has a voltage holding ratio of 90% or higher after a forced impurity extraction is performed on the display board with the retardation control layer in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and application of a voltage to the liquid crystal layer. The display board is capable of providing a high quality display while preventing a drop in the voltage holding ratio attributed to impurities mixed into the liquid crystal layer, and thus preventing the occurrence of display defects, such as flickering.

Abstract: An optical element has a base material with an optically transparent base plate, and a refractive functional layer capable of refracting light that is laminated to the base material. The refractive functional layer has liquid crystal molecules fixed in homeotropic alignment, and the optical element has a haze of 0.1 or less. The optical element can be economically produced, and enables the production of LCD devices with improved contrast and reduced unevenness of colors.
