Abstract
A blended display device is provided. The display device includes a display panel having a first substrate located at a back side and a second substrate located at a display side, and a directional nanowire grid polarizer (NWGP) layer disposed on the second substrate. The display panel is switchable between first and second operational modes. The directional NWGP layer has a NWGP direction. The directional NWGP layer includes at least one colored coating disposed on at least one pattern region. In the first operational mode, the directional NWGP layer functions as a polarizer for the display panel, and the display panel is used to display an image. In the second operational mode, the display panel does not display an image, and an ambient light incident toward the display panel is at least partially reflected by the pattern region of the directional NWGP layer to show a predesigned color pattern.
