According to an aspect, a display device includes: a display panel having a display area including pixels; a light source device configured to emit light from an emission area overlapping the display area toward the display panel; a dimming panel between the display panel and the light source device and configured to adjust brightness of emission light emitted from the emission area; and a drive circuit configured to drive the dimming panel. The emission area has a first emission area and a second emission area. The drive circuit is configured to, when gradation values of first pixels corresponding to the first emission area are equal to gradation values of second pixels corresponding to the second emission area, make transmittance of a second dimming area corresponding to the second pixels higher than that of a first dimming area corresponding to the first pixels in the dimming area.

Display device

A circuit substrate includes, on an insulating substrate, a plurality of devices, a plurality of conductive layers connected in one-to-one correspondence with the devices, and an insulating layer provided between the devices and the conductive layers. The insulating layer includes a first insulating layer covering the devices, a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer, and a plurality of contact holes each passing through the first and second insulating layers in a thickness direction thereof. Side surfaces of the first and second insulating layers contact each other in at least part of the inside of each contact hole. Each conductive layer extends along an upper surface of the second insulating layer, at least a part of a side surface of the contact hole in which the side surfaces of the first and second insulating layers contact each other, and a bottom surface of the contact hole.
