Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a light transmission layer disposed on the display panel. The display panel has an active area having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side and outputting a main image, and an auxiliary area located outside of and distributed along the first side and outputting an auxiliary image. The light transmission layer has a bottom surface facing the active area and receiving the main image. A light entrance surface and a reflective surface are located at sides of the bottom surface corresponding to the first side for receiving the auxiliary image and to the second side while inclining outward away from the bottom surface, respectively. After entering the light entrance surface, the auxiliary image is transmitted to the reflective surface and reflected outside one side of the main image corresponding to the second side via the reflective surface.
