Display device

A display device comprises:

• a first substrate having light transmissivity;
• a second substrate opposing the first substrate and having light transmissivity;
• a light-modulating layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a light source unit which illuminates the light-modulating layer from an outer side of a position which opposes a display area which displays images, along a normal direction;
• first to third color filters of different colors of red, green and blue, respectively, arranged on the first substrate;
• a fourth color filter of a same color as that of one of the first to third color filters, arranged on the first substrate;
• a transparent member located between the third color filter and the fourth color filter and being larger in area than the third color filter;
• first to fourth electrodes which oppose the first to fourth color filters, respectively;
• and
• a fifth electrode that opposes the transparent member,
• the light-modulating layer being able to change light dispersibility of each of regions which oppose the first to fifth color filters according to the electric field produced by each respective one of the first to fifth electrodes.
