DISPLAY DEVICE AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

摘要

A display device includes a reflective display panel and an illumination device (a front light). In the illumination device, a side surface on an opposite side of a light guide plate to a light source is a curved section, and an end surface of the curved section is a tapered surface. With respect to the light guide plate, a light absorption layer, which overlaps with an end section on the opposite side to the light source, is provided on a side of the display panel. Therefore, it is difficult for a circumstance in which light that is reflected toward the display panel in the end section is reflected by the display panel, and emitted from a second surface of the light guide plate, to occur.

1. A display device comprising:
a display panel; and an illumination device, which is provided with a light guide plate that is disposed facing the display panel, and a light source that faces a side surface of the light guide plate, which emits illumination light onto the display panel from one surface in a thickness direction of the light guide plate, and which emits image light that is modulated by the display panel from the other surface in the thickness direction of the light guide plate, wherein at least an end section of the side surface that is on an opposite side to the light source is a tapered surface, and wherein at least a light absorption layer, which overlaps with the end section on the opposite side, is provided on a side of the display panel with respect to the light guide plate.
