Abstract:
An optical device and a display apparatus of the present invention are constructed so as to improve display characteristics of output light intensity, display contrast, and reduction of scattered light due to external light, and also to provide a large-screen. The optical device has a first stacked body and a plurality of second stacked bodies. The first stacked body includes a light guide(230), a first electrode(231), and an optical control layer(232). The second stacked body includes a plurality of second electrodes(234), the reflection film(233) and a substrate (235). A plurality of third electrodes(237) are provided through the substrate(235). Each of the third electrode has a first end part connecting to the second electrode and a second end part exposed to the other side of the substrate. A further light absorption film(236) may be disposed between the reflection film and the second electrode.
