Display device and head-mounted display

A display device comprising:

• a display panel;
• a lighting device having a light emission surface through which light exits toward the display panel;
• a light source included in the lighting device;
• a center directive light refraction member included in the lighting device to face the display panel and configured to impart a refraction effect to at least light exiting through the light emission surface to be directed to a middle section of the display panel, so that a much light emission angle range in which an emission light quantity is relatively much and a less light emission angle range in which the emission light quantity is relatively less are generated in a luminance angle distribution indicating luminance of emission light at each angle with respect to the light emission surface;
• and
• an asymmetric light refraction member arranged to be overlapped with the display panel on a lighting device side or an opposite side from the lighting device side and configured to impart an asymmetric refraction effect to the emission light such that light rays in the less light emission angle range among emission light exiting the center directive light refraction member is directed toward the less light emission angle range, while at least a part of light rays in the much light emission angle range among the emission light exiting the center directive light refraction member is directed toward the less light emission angle range.
