Display device

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate opposing the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and containing stringy polymers and liquid crystal molecules;
• a display area including a plurality of pixels;
• a first light source that irradiates light onto a first side surface of the first substrate or the second substrate;
• and
• a second light source that irradiates light onto a second side surface of the first substrate or the second substrate, which is opposite to the first side surface,
• wherein
• the plurality of pixels include a first pixel, a second pixel closer to the first side surface than the first pixel and a third pixel closer to the second side surface than the first pixel, and
• in a spatial frequency spectrum obtained by performing a two-dimensional Fourier transformation on a pattern of the stringy polymers which overlap the pixels in planer view with respect to a first frequency component and a second frequency component, when an outline in a plane defined by the first frequency component and the second frequency component in an area having a value of 75% or more of the maximum value in the spectrum is defined as an evaluation circle, and a value obtained by dividing a length of a major axis of the evaluation circle by a length of a minor axis of the evaluation circle is defined as an evaluation value, the evaluation value of the stringy polymers overlapping the first pixel is greater than the evaluation values of the stringy polymers overlapping the second pixel and the third pixel.
