Abstract
An interface () between adjacent ones of light guide sections () is inclined with respect to an incident surface () and an emission surface () of the light guide element (A) so that an incident surface () of at least a part of the light guide sections () overlaps a part of a display region () in a liquid crystal panel (A) and an emission surface () of said at least a part of the light guide sections () overlaps at least a part of a frame region () above which an image on the display region () is to be displayed. Furthermore, a relation 5°<θ<85° is met, where θ indicates an angle between a direction of a borderline between adjacent light guide sections () on a plan view and a direction in which pixels () adjacent to the frame region () are aligned.
