Abstract
According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel including a display area and a non-display, a frame that surrounds a peripheral portion of the display panel and exposes a part of the non-display area and the display area, and a light emitting element overlapping the frame. The display panel includes a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate including a side surface facing the light emitting element, and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate and containing a polymer and a liquid crystal molecule. The part of the non-display area is located between the frame and the display area in planar view.

A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a display area and a non-display area that surrounds the display area and has optical transparency;
- a frame that surrounds a peripheral portion of the display panel and exposes a part of the non-display area and the display area;
- and
- a light emitting element overlapping the frame, wherein
- the display panel comprises:
- a first transparent substrate;
- a second transparent substrate comprising a side surface facing the light emitting element;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer provided between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate and containing a polymer and a liquid crystal molecule, and
- the part of the non-display area is located between the frame and the display area in planar view.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate, and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate and containing a polymer and a liquid crystal molecule;
- a first cover member located on a side of the first transparent substrate opposite to the liquid crystal layer;
- a second cover member located on a side of the second transparent substrate opposite to the liquid crystal layer;
- a first spacer provided between the first cover member and the first transparent substrate;
- and
- a second spacer provided between the second cover member and the second transparent substrate, wherein
- in cross-sectional view, air layers are each located between the first cover member and the first transparent substrate and between the second cover member and the second transparent substrate.
