A display device comprising:
- a lens module comprising a lens and a reflective module comprising a plurality of reflective mirrors in the lens;
- and
- a display module on at least one side surface of the lens, the display module being configured to display an image and comprising a light emitting element, the lens comprising:
- a side surface facing the display module and configured to receive the image;
- and
- an exiting surface configured to emit the image reflected by the reflective module,
- wherein the side surface comprises one or more inclination surfaces,
- wherein the side surface comprises:
- a reference surface;
- and
- a first inclination surface inclined at a first angle with respect to the reference surface,
- wherein a shape of the display module follows a contour of the reference surface and the first inclination surface,
- the display module comprises a first display area corresponding to the reference surface and a second display area corresponding to the first inclination surface,
- the plurality of reflective mirrors comprise:
- a first reflective mirror configured to reflect a first image output from the first display area and incident thereto through the reference surface to the exiting surface;
- and
- a second reflective mirror configured to reflect a second image output from the second display area and incident thereto through the first inclination surface to the exiting surface, wherein the first reflective mirror is configured to reflect the first image to the exiting surface without the first image being internally reflected by the lens before being incident on the first reflective mirror, and the second reflective mirror is configured to reflect the second image to the exiting surface with the second image being internally reflected by the lens before being incident on the second reflective mirror,
- the first reflective mirror and the second reflective mirror are inclined at different angles from each other with respect to a facing surface facing the exiting surface,
- an angle of the second reflective mirror is set depending on the first angle.
