Abstract
The present invention provides a display device that is excellent in designability and allows a reflection color in the non-display state to be less likely to appear differently at different viewing positions. The display device includes, in the following order: a display panel capable of switching between a display mode of emitting display light and a non-display mode of not emitting display light; a λ/4 retardation layer; a circularly polarized light ray reflection layer; and a light scattering layer capable of switching between a light scattering mode of scattering incident light and a light transmitting mode of transmitting incident light. The circularly polarized light ray reflection layer preferably contains a cholesteric liquid crystal.
