Display device with backlight

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind;
• a decorative member decorating the image, the decorative member being a real object placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a controller controlling the liquid crystal panel such that a first pixel region of the display surface behind which the decorative member is positioned is higher in light transmittance than a second pixel region of the display surface, wherein
• the backlight is defined as a first backlight,
• the display device further comprising a second backlight different from the first backlight, the second backlight being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the decorative member and emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind, wherein
• the decorative member includes a decorative plate subjected to transmitted illumination by the first backlight, and
• the second backlight has a light guide plate provided with a reflecting surface reflecting the light introduced into the second backlight toward the liquid crystal panel.

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel having a display surface displaying an image;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind;
• a real object being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the display surface;
• and
• a virtual image display unit generating a display light for displaying a virtual image, wherein
• the display surface includes a reflecting surface that visualizes the virtual image at a position overlapped with the display surface by reflecting the display light.

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind;
• a real object being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• an actuator moving the real object between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight;
• and
• a controller controlling the liquid crystal panel such that a first pixel region of the display surface behind which the real object is positioned is higher in light transmittance than a second pixel region of the display surface, wherein
• the actuator moves at least a part of the real object out of the display surface.

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from its back side that is an opposite side from the display surface;
• a back-side real member being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a display surface real member being visible on a front side of the display surface of the liquid crystal panel, wherein
• the back-side real member includes a back-side light guide member into which light is introduced,
• the display surface real member includes a display surface transmission member through which light transmits, and
• the back-side light guide member guides the light emitted by the backlight to the display surface transmission member through the liquid crystal panel.

A display device comprising:

• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from its back side that is an opposite side from the display surface;
• a back-side real member placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a magnifying lens unit positioned on a front side of the display surface of the liquid crystal panel, wherein
• the magnifying lens unit enlarges the back-side real member through the liquid crystal panel,
• the back-side real member includes a back-side light guide member into which light is introduced, and
• the back-side light guide member guides the light emitted by the backlight to the magnifying lens unit through the liquid crystal panel.

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind;
• a real object being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• an actuator moving the real object between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight;
• and
• a controller controlling the liquid crystal panel such that a first pixel region of the display surface behind which the real object is positioned is higher in light transmittance than a second pixel region of the display surface, wherein
• the real object includes multiple divided pieces combined with each other, and
• the actuator moves the multiple divided pieces between a state in which the multiple divided pieces are separated from each other and a state in which the multiple divided pieces are combined with each other.

A display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed;
• a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind;
• a real object being placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel;
• an actuator moving the real object between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight;
• and
• a controller controlling the liquid crystal panel such that a first pixel region of the display surface behind which the real object is positioned is higher in light transmittance than a second pixel region of the display surface, wherein
• the controller switches a display mode of the liquid crystal panel between a real object display mode and a real object hidden mode, the controller increases the light transmittance of the first pixel region to an extent of the real object being visible in the real object display mode, and the controller decreases the light transmittance of the first pixel region to an extent of the real object being invisible in the real object hidden mode,
• the actuator, in the real object hidden mode, moves the real object such that a part of the real object is out of an area facing the display surface while another part of the real object is within the area facing the display surface.
