Abstract
In a luminous display element, a retro-reflector is provided on the back side of an organic EL layer which includes an emission layer whose state changes between an emission state and a non-emission state. The retro-reflector includes a corner cube array, and reflects incident light in the same direction as an incident direction. A unit structure of the corner cube array is a form of a triangular pyramid which is made up of rectangular equilateral triangles having three faces, and a light shielding process is performed on the periphery of a base angle of the rectangular equilateral triangle. Thus, it is possible to prevent an image from being reflected, so that it is possible to provide the luminous display element whose contrast ratio and the utilization efficiency of emission are high.

13. A luminous display element comprising:
-
an emission layer whose state changes between a first state which is an emission state and a second state which is a non-emission state; and
a reflecting member which reflects a light emitted from the emission layer, wherein, when the emission layer is in the second state, said reflecting member is adapted to reflect an image of a black part of an observer'"'"'s eye so as to realize a black state as the observer recognizes the image of the black part of his/her eye.
