1. A display panel comprising:
- an array of emissive LEDs;
a black matrix layer over the array of emissive LEDs, the black matrix layer including a corresponding array of openings over the array of emissive LEDs, wherein each opening is over a corresponding emissive LED; and
an elliptical polarizer directly over the black matrix layer, wherein the elliptical polarizer is characterized by a parallel transmission of at least 5% and a perpendicular transmission of at least 90%, and the elliptical polarizer includes;
a quarter wave retarder layer over the black matrix layer; and
a non-linear polarizer film over the quarter wave retarder layer.

Abstract
Display panel configurations are described in which a pixel-level integrated black matrix layer is combined with an elliptical polarizer. The elliptical polarizer may allow for increased transmission of emissive LEDs in the display panel, while the black matrix layer may mitigate internal reflection of ambient light.
