In a display device capable of switching between a display mode and a mirror mode, a novel configuration of the display device capable of enhancing display quality and being low-profile and light-weight is provided. In a display device (100), a reflective polarizer (110), a polarizer (120), a retarder (130), a liquid crystal panel (140), a polarizer (150), and a backlight (160) are disposed sequentially from the viewing side. When the liquid crystal panel (140) is set in a light blocking state or the backlight (160) is switched off, the reflection of an outside light "O" turns the display screen into the mirror state. When the backlight (160) is switched on to illuminate the liquid crystal panel (140), a transmitted light "T" allows the displayed screen image to be visually recognized. <IMAGE> |
