Abstract
A viewing angle between a wide viewing angle and a narrow viewing angle is switched, and the viewing angle is suppressed from becoming excessively narrow when the viewing angle is switched to the narrow viewing angle. The ultraviolet light guide plate is superimposed on the display panel. A first main surface of the ultraviolet light guide plate is on a side where the pixels are disposed. The film is disposed on the first main surface of the ultraviolet light guide plate. Openings of the film are disposed on an optical path that passes through the pixels and travels in a first direction. Non-opening portions of the film are disposed on an optical path that passes through the pixels and travels in a second direction. The film is made of a photochromic photosensitive material. The ultraviolet light source irradiates an end surface of the ultraviolet light guide plate with ultraviolet light.
