Display device

A display device, comprising:

• a polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel;
• a light source device that emits illumination light to an end surface of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel;
• a video signal control unit that corrects a video signal to generate a video control signal, the video signal being corrected so as to cancel a change in a color of the illumination light when the illumination light propagates through inside the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a display panel that modulates the illumination light that has propagated through the inside of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel and is scattered by the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel, based on the video control signal,
• wherein
• the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel includes a plurality of sub-illumination regions where switching between a scattering state in which the illumination light is scattered and a non-scattering state in which the illumination light is not scattered is independently controlled;
• a distance between each of the sub-illumination regions and the end surface is different from each other;
• the light source device includes a plurality of light sources each emitting light of one of colors different from each other;
• one of the light sources that emits light of a color with most variable amount of light, when the light propagates through the inside of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel, among the light sources, emits light more brightly when the sub-illumination region that is furthest away from the end surface is in the scattering state, than when the sub-illumination region that is closest to the end surface is in the scattering state;
• and
• a ratio between a light emission amount of the light source that emits the light of the color with the most variable amount of light, when the light propagates through the inside of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel, and a light emission amount of another light source differs according to a location of the sub-illumination region be in the scattering state.
