  • Patent number: 10473830
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display device including a display panel and a haze layer. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels and a color determining surface. The orthogonal projection of each of the plurality of pixels onto the color determining surface forms a plurality of adjacent pixel ranges. The haze layer is disposed on a side of the color determining surface and has a haze surface facing away from the color determining surface. The haze layer has a scattering coefficient ranging from ?1.4 to 0. The haze surface includes a first location corresponding to the center of the first pixel range, and a second location corresponding to a location away from the first edge towards the second pixel range wherein the distance therebetween ranges from 87 ?m to 174 ?m.
