1. A display device comprising:
- a first light-transmitting substrate and a second light-transmitting substrate which are disposed to face each other;
a display element sandwiched between the first light-transmitting substrate and the second light-transmitting substrate; and
a layer including a first polarizer, a second polarizer, a third polarizer provided between a viewer and the first light-transmitting substrate,wherein the first polarizer and the second polarizer are arranged so that their absorption axes are in a parallel Nicols state,wherein the third polarizer is arranged so that an absorption axis of the third polarizer is deviated from the parallel Nicols state,wherein the second polarizer and the third polarizer are not arranged so that their absorption axes are in a cross Nicols state,wherein the first polarizer, the second polarizer, and the third polarizer are sequentially stacked from the first light-transmitting substrate,wherein the second polarizer is in direct contact with the third polarizer.

Abstract
To provide a display device having a high contrast ratio by a simple and easy method and to manufacture a high-performance display device at low cost, in a display device having a display element between a pair of light-transmitting substrates, layers each including a polarizer having different wavelength distribution of extinction coefficient from each other with respect to the absorption axes are stacked and provided on an outer side of the light-transmitting substrates. Further, a retardation plate may be provided between the stacked polarizers.
