According to one embodiment, an illumination device includes a light guide including an upper surface, a lower surface and a light entering surface, a first light emitting portion, a second light emitting portion, and a third light emitting portion. A first surface, a second surface, a third surface and a fourth surface of the upper surface are arranged in this order in a first direction. A width of the first surface is less than a width of the second surface, and the width of the second surface is less than a width of the third surface. An angle between the light entering surface and the first surface is an acute angle. The first light emitting portion, the second light emitting portion and the third light emitting portion face the light entering surface.

Illumination device

A display device includes a display panel, a lighting device configured to illuminate the display panel, an optical element configured to collect light transmitted through the display panel to user's eyes, and a drive circuit configured to drive the display panel based on an image signal having information on an image. The lighting device comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements emitting light having colors different from each other, and the drive circuit generates a plurality of color resolved images obtained by resolving the image for each color of the light, based on the image signal, adjusts sizes of the color resolved images based on the colors of the light, and displays the color resolved images on the display panel.

Display device

According to one embodiment, an illumination includes a first light guide including a first main surface, a second main surface, and a first side surface, a first light source applying a first linearly polarized light toward the first side surface, and a first retardation film provided on the first side surface and providing a phase difference to light emitted from the first light source. The first side surface is an inclined surface including a first end portion and a second end portion, and a distance between the second end portion and the first light source is smaller than a distance between the first end portion and the first light source.

Illumination device and display device

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel, a holographic element which reflects light having a specific incident angle and transmits light having an incident angle different from the specific incident angle, a retardation film provided between the display panel and the holographic element, a transflective element which reflects, of the light which passed through the holographic element, first circularly polarized light, and transmits second circularly polarized light rotating in an opposite direction of the first circularly polarized light, and a lens element which has a lens effect of condensing the second circularly polarized light which passed through the transflective element.
