A display panel includes a light-emitting layer, a protective layer, a
reflective layer, and a reflective surface. The protective layer is
deposited on an emitting side of the light-emitting layer and forms an
interface with an external medium. The protective layer has a thickness
that allows the light emitted from the light-emitting layer to undergo
total reflection at least once at the interface in an area of the
light-emitting layer. The reflective layer is deposited on an opposite
side of the protective layer with respect to the light-emitting layer.
The reflective surface is at a periphery of the light-emitting layer and
changes the direction of the light propagating inside the protective
layer emitted from the light-emitting layer.
