  • Publication number: 20220101810
    Abstract: A display device includes a stacked structure and an outer frame fixedly receiving the stacked structure therein. The stacked structure includes an intelligence light adjustment layer, a display module, and a light-transmitting reflective layer interposed between the display module and the intelligence light adjustment layer. The intelligence light adjustment layer is configured to present one of a first state or a second state, which are different from each other, based on whether electrical power is applied to the intelligence light adjustment layer. The display module projects display images through the intelligence light adjustment layer in the first state. When the intelligence light adjustment layer is in the second state, the color of the outer frame is the same as the color of the intelligence light adjustment layer.
