Abstract: A transparent display comprising first and second transparent substrates first and second transparent electrodes, a polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer, and first and second light sources, is provided. The first and second transparent electrodes are mounted on the inside surfaces of the first and second transparent substrates. The inside surfaces of the first and second transparent substrates face each other. The polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer fills the gap between the first and second transparent electrodes. The polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer comprises a polymer material and a liquid crystal. The first and second light sources emit first and second light in predetermined directions, respectively. The predetermined directions are decided so that the first and second light are reflected at an outside surface.

Abstract: A luminescent display device is provided in a viewfinder device having a viewfinder window for observing an object. The luminescent display device has a substrate a first electrode, an organic layer arranged in sequence on or above the substrate. A sealing member is disposed above the substrate. The organic layer and the first and second electrodes are disposed in a sealed space between the sealing member and the substrate. An absorbent is disposed separately from the substrate within the sealed space, so that the organic layer is interposed between the substrate and the absorbent member.
