Abstract

Même si de la lumière entre de l'extérieur dans un substrat de corps à lumière fluorescente, avec les effets d'une couche d'absorption de lumière et d'une couche de réflexion de lumière qui sont formées dans une région de pixels (E), une grande partie de la lumière qui entre de l'extérieur est absorbée par la couche de réflexion de lumière et atténuée entre la couche de réflexion de lumière et une couche de corps de réflexion de lumière fluorescente. Par conséquent, la lumière qui entre de l'extérieur dans le substrat de corps à lumière fluorescente est réfléchie à l'intérieur du substrat de corps à lumière fluorescente, et il est possible de réduire considérablement la lumière de l'extérieur qui est réémise par le substrat de corps à lumière fluorescente.
