A display apparatus may include a backlight assembly configured to generate an emitted light and a display panel configured to receive the emitted light to display images. The display panel may include a display substrate, an opposite substrate facing the display substrate, a wire grid polarizer, and a reflection reducing layer. The wire grid polarizer may be disposed on at least one of the display substrate and the opposite substrate to polarize the emitted light. The reflection reducing layer may have a grid shape and may be disposed on the wire grid polarizer. The reflection reducing layer may reduce an amount of a light reflected by the wire grid polarizer.

Display apparatus

A display device includes a light providing assembly to provide light, and a display panel to display an image using the light. The display panel includes a first substrate (FS), a second substrate (SS), a liquid crystal layer (LCL), a polarizing plate (PP), a first optical element (FOE), and a second optical element (SOE). The FS includes a pixel region (PR) and a non-PR (NPR) adjacent to the PR. The SS faces the FS. The LCL is disposed between the FS and SS. The PP is disposed between the FS and LCL, and includes grid polarizing layers. The FOE is disposed between the FS and PP, and is configured to redirect a fraction of the light propagating toward the NPR in a first direction. The SOE is disposed between the FOE and PP, and is configured to redirect the fraction of light propagating in the first direction toward the PR.
