Publication number: 20210181520Abstract: Provided is an optical unit and a display device capable of suppressing the occurrence of stray light by suppressing the incidence of light onto a peripheral region of a panel. In the optical unit, a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel are arranged to face a dichroic prism. A first light-emitting element is provided in a display region of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel, and metal wiring is provided in a peripheral region. Here, a light shielding layer is provided between the dichroic prism and the peripheral region of each of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel. Thus, even when a part of color light that should be reflected passes through a dichroic mirror, the leaked light is absorbed by the light shielding layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2021Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Takeshi KOSHIHARA
