Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a polarization conversion panel disposed on the display panel. The polarization conversion panel has two or more display area regions that are independently drivable in order to implement either a reflection mode or transmissive mode in each of those regions and thus enabling pattern implementation. The polarization conversion panel includes: a reflective polarizer disposed on the display panel; an absorptive polarizer facing and spaced apart from the reflective polarizer; a lower electrode(s) layer disposed on the reflective polarizer; an upper electrode(s) layer disposed on the absorptive polarizer; and liquid crystals disposed between the upper and lower electrode layers. At least one of the upper and lower electrode layers includes a respective plurality of independently drivable sub-electrodes.
