A display device is provided and including a backlight device including a plurality of light sources; a display panel disposed to oppose the backlight device and incline with respect to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the backlight device; a first diffusion plate between the display panel and the backlight device; and a second diffusion plate arranged at a predetermined angle with respect to the first diffusion plate.

Display device

According to one embodiment, an illumination device includes a light source module, and a reflector opposed to the light source module. The reflector includes a plurality of incidence openings on which light from the light source module is made incident, a plurality of emission openings opposed to the incidence openings, a plurality of reflective surfaces extending from the incidence openings to the emission openings, respectively, and reflective films formed on the reflective surfaces. The reflector includes a plurality of blocks, and the blocks are bonded to each other to form the reflector.

Illumination device for use in local dimming

According to one embodiment, an illuminating device includes a lightguide plate including a curved emitting surface, and an incidence surface including a side edge curved along the emitting surface, a printed circuit board facing the incidence surface, and light sources mounted on the printed circuit board. Each light source includes a light-emitting center, a pair of connection terminals, and a central axis extending through the connection terminals and the light-emitting center. The light sources are arranged along a curved mounting line extending along the curved side edge of the incidence surface on the printed circuit board. The light-emitting centers are located on the mounting line, and the central axes are parallel to each other.

Illuminating device

A display device includes a light source configured to emit light, a display panel capable of receiving the light from a first surface side and transmitting the light to a second surface side, and a cylindrical hood extending to the first surface side of the display panel from the light source and covering a periphery of an optical axis of the light. The hood is made of black resin.

A display device includes: a light source; a display panel capable of receiving the light from a first surface side and transmitting the light to a second surface side; and a light guiding member. The display panel is inclined with respect to an orthogonal plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the light. The light guiding member has an output surface framed by an output port of the light and inclined with respect to the orthogonal plane. An inclination direction of the display panel is identical to an inclination direction of the output surface. The light guiding member has such a shape that a distance between inner surfaces of the light guiding member and the optical axis increases toward the first surface side from the light source side, and the inner surfaces opposing each other at positions orthogonal to the optical axis are not uniform in curvature.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel, a backlight device including a plurality of light sources, to irradiate light to the display panel, and an optical element provided on an emission side of the display panel and inclined with respect to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the display panel.

Display device and head-up display device

According to one embodiment, an illumination device includes a light source module including a plurality of light sources, and a reflector opposed to the light source module. The reflector includes a plurality of incidence openings on which light from the light sources is made incident, a plurality of emission openings opposed to the incidence openings, and a plurality of reflective surfaces extending from the incidence openings to the emission openings, respectively. Each of the reflective surfaces is formed by combining a plurality of curved surfaces arranged in an optical axis direction of the light sources.

Illumination device

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a backlight device including a plurality of light sources, a display panel disposed to oppose the backlight device and incline with respect to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the backlight device and a diffusion plate provided between the display panel and the backlight device.
