Display device

Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device includes: a display panel that comprises a first light-transmitting substrate, a second light-transmitting substrate facing the first light-transmitting substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the first light-transmitting substrate and the second light-transmitting substrate, and has an active region capable of displaying an image as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the first light-transmitting substrate and a peripheral region outside the active region; a light-transmitting first base member bonded to the display panel; and a light source disposed so that light enters at least one of a side surface of the first light-transmitting substrate, a side surface of the second light-transmitting substrate, and a side surface of the first base member. The first base member is sized so as to overlap the active region and not to overlap the peripheral region.
