The invention discloses a
display device capable of being switched between transmission and reflection. The
display device comprises an
OLED display panel and a
liquid crystal display panel arranged on the light emitting side of the
OLED display panel. The
liquid crystal display panel comprises a second substrate, a
liquid crystal layer and a first substrate which are sequentially arranged, a linear
polarizer and a quarter-wave plate are arranged on the first substrate, the quarter-wave plate is located on the side, facing the liquid
crystal layer, of the linear
polarizer, and the light-transmitting axis of the linear
polarizer and the fast and slow axis of the quarter-wave plate form an angle of 45 degrees. In the transmission mode, liquid
crystal molecules in the whole liquid
crystal layer are controlled to be in a standing posture, the
OLED display panel is opened and displays a picture, light rays emitted by the OLED display panel can penetrate through the
liquid crystal display panel, ambient light reflected by the OLED display panel can be absorbed by the linear polaroid, and therefore the situation that the
contrast ratio of transmission display is reduced by the ambient light reflected by the OLED display panel is avoided; and in the reflection mode, the OLED display panel is closed, so that the
liquid crystal display panel can display pictures by using the ambient light reflected by the OLED display panel.
