Abstract
A display module includes a backlight module, a liquid crystal layer disposed on the backlight module, and a first light-expanding layer disposed on the liquid crystal layer. The backlight module provides a surface light source. The surface light source forms an image light through the liquid crystal layer, and the first light-expanding layer increases the viewing angle range of the image light along a first direction. The first light-expanding layer substantially extends along a virtual plane, the first direction is perpendicular to the normal of the virtual plane, and a second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the normal of the virtual plane. The light intensity at the 60-degree viewing angle of the surface light source along the first direction is lower than the light intensity at the 60-degree viewing angle of the surface light source along the second direction.
