Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device includes: a display panel that includes a first light-transmitting substrate, a second light-transmitting substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second light-transmitting substrates, and has an active region capable of displaying images and peripheral regions outside the active region; a glass base member bonded to the display panel; and a light source disposed so that light enters a side surface of the first light-transmitting substrate, a side surface of the second light-transmitting substrate, or a side surface of the glass base member. The light source includes a light guide and light emitters. At least one of the light emitters is disposed in each of first regions that overlap regions obtained by extending the peripheral regions located on opposite sides of the active region.
