    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a display panel, including: a reflector; a phase retarder configured to change a polarization direction of a light beam passing through the phase retarder; a light-absorbing black matrix configured to absorb the light beam; and a polarization scattering film. After passing through the polarization scattering film, a polarized light beam from a projector is transmitted along an original light path, then the polarized light beam is transmitted through the phase retarder, reflected by the reflector and directed again to the polarization scattering film so as to be scattered. After passing through the polarization scattering film, a light beam with a polarization direction different from the polarized light beam from the projector is scattered by the polarization scattering film and then absorbed by the light-absorbing black matrix.
