US Patent 11099423 Wide viewing angle display device

A display device includes a backlight module, a liquid crystal display panel and an optical module. The liquid crystal display panel is disposed on the backlight module. The liquid crystal display panel includes an array substrate, an opposite substrate, a display medium layer, an upper polarizing pattern, and a lower polarizing pattern. The upper polarizing pattern is disposed on the opposite substrate. The lower polarizing pattern is disposed on the array substrate and has a first transmission axis. The optical module is disposed between the backlight module and the liquid crystal display panel. The optical module includes a dual brightness enhancement film. The dual brightness enhancement film has a second transmission axis. The polarization direction of the light after passing through the optical module is different from the polarization direction of the light after passing through the lower polarizing pattern.
