There is provided a display unit that is able to provide an indoor environment comfortable to a user. This display unit includes a frame member and a flexible display. The frame member is disposed, in a structure including a daylighting section that lets light through, around the daylighting section and includes a winder including a rotary shaft. The flexible display includes a dimming layer and a display device layer including a light-emitting layer disposed on the dimming layer, and is windable with rotation of the rotary shaft provided in the winder of the frame member and drawable from the winder.

Light-emitting unit, display unit, and lighting unit

A display includes a display section including a flexible base and an image display layer that is supported by the flexible base and displays an image by utilizing an organic light-emitting phenomenon, in which the display section has a display surface on which the image is to be displayed, a back surface located opposite to the display surface, and a side surface located between the display surface and the back surface and coupled to each of the display surface and the back surface, and a protector provided along at least a portion of the side surface of the display section. The protector includes a metal layer and covers a region extending from a portion of the display surface through the side surface to a portion of the back surface.

Flexible display with protector along side surface

There is provided a display device that is able to display a favorable image. This display device includes: a display section including a display surface that emits image light; a light guide member in which a plurality of optical fibers each including a core part and a cladding part are bundled and integrated, in which the core part guides the image light from an incident surface facing the display surface to an emission surface positioned opposite to the incident surface, and the cladding part surrounds the core part; and a first optical member provided on side opposite to the display section as viewed from the light guide member, in which the first optical member converts light distribution of the image light emitted from the emission surface.
