  • Publication number: 20250151512
    Abstract: A high-resolution display device is provided. The display device includes a plurality of light-emitting units emitting light of different colors. The light-emitting unit has a microcavity structure and intensifies light with a specific wavelength. In the light-emitting units emitting light of different colors, reflective layers with different thicknesses are formed, an insulating layer is formed to cover the reflective layers, and then a top surface of the insulating layer is subjected to planarization treatment, whereby an insulating layer with different thicknesses is formed. After that, light-emitting elements emitting white light are formed over the planarized top surface of the insulating layer to overlap with the respective reflective layers, whereby the light-emitting units that intensify different colors due to different optical path lengths are separately formed.

  • Publication number: 20250130433
    Abstract: An electronic device that can easily increase the viewing angle and has a reduced screen-door effect is provided. In the electronic device, images displayed on a display panel with a low pixel density and a display panel with a high pixel density are synthesized to be seen. The electronic device includes a first display panel that has a relatively large screen size and a low pixel density, and a second display panel and a third display panel each of which has a relatively small screen size and a high pixel density. The electronic device is configured such that visual information enters the central field of view from the second display panel or the third display panel and visual information enters the peripheral field of view from the first display panel. Such a configuration can easily increase the viewing angle and reduce the screen-door effect.

  • Publication number: 20240393611
    Abstract: An optical device with less influence of stray light is provided. The optical device is thin and includes a half mirror, a first lens, a retardation plate, a reflective polarizing plate, and a second lens. In the optical device, a geometric phase lens which has negative and positive refractive power is used as the first lens, whereby images can be focused after magnified optically. Thus, the optical device can have a wide viewing angle. In the case where stray light occurs due to birefringence of an optical material, negative refractive power of the first lens can prevent the stray light from being focused on the eye direction. Accordingly, image degradation recognized due to stray light can be prevented.
