DISPLAY DEVICE
An edge of the dummy opening includes an edge formed of a part of an edge of the stationary opening assumed to be arranged in the peripheral area with regularity of the stationary openings. The shutter in the display area makes the driven opening and the stationary opening be communicated with each other to transmit light at the first position, and is disposed so that the driven opening and the stationary opening are shifted from each other to block the light at the second position. In the case in which the shutters are located in the second position, the distance between the driven opening and the edge in the peripheral area and the distance between the driven opening and a part of an edge of the stationary opening in the display area have a correlative relationship with each other.
1 . A display device comprising:
a first substrate having a light transmissive property;
a light-blocking film provided to the first substrate;
a second substrate having a light transmissive property, disposed so as to be opposed to the first substrate with a space;
a plurality of shutters provided to the second substrate; and
a plurality of drive sections provided to the second substrate, and adapted to move the respective shutters between a first position and a second position,
wherein an area where the first substrate and the second substrate overlap each other includes a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area,
the plurality of shutters are arranged in the display area and the peripheral area,
each of the shutters has at least one driven opening moving in conjunction with a movement of the shutter,
a whole of the plurality of shutters has a plurality of the driven openings,
the light-blocking film is formed in the display area and the peripheral area,
the light-blocking film has a plurality of stationary openings in the display area so as to correspond to the driven openings in the display area,
each of the shutters in the display area makes the driven opening and the stationary opening be communicated with each other to transmit light at the first position, and is disposed so that the driven opening and the stationary opening are shifted from each other to block the light at the second position, and
the light-blocking film has, in the peripheral area, a dummy opening adapted to partially expose at least one of the shutters arranged in the peripheral area.
2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of driven openings are arranged with regularity in the entire display area and peripheral area,

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the edge of the dummy opening includes an edge formed of a part of an edge of the stationary opening, which is assumed to be arranged in the peripheral area with the regularity of the plurality of stationary openings.
4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
in a case in which the plurality of shutters are located at the second position, a distance between the driven opening and an edge of the dummy opening in the peripheral area and a distance between the driven opening and a part of an edge of the stationary opening in the display area are equal to each other.
5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
an edge of the dummy opening is a part of the stationary opening.
6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the driven openings are each formed so as to extend in a direction intersecting with a direction between the first position and the second position, and
in a case in which the shutter in the display area is located at the second position, the stationary opening in the display area is located at a position shifted from the driven opening in a direction between the first position and the second position.
7 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
in a case in which the shutter in the peripheral area is located at the second position, an edge of the dummy opening is located at a position shifted from an edge of the driven opening in the direction between the first position and the second position.
8 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
in the case in which the shutter in the peripheral area is located at the second position, an edge of the dummy opening is located at a position shifted from an edge of the driven opening in a direction in which the driven opening extends.
9 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
an edge of the dummy opening includes a first edge and a second edge,
in a case in which the shutter in the peripheral area is located at the second position, the first edge is located at a position shifted from an edge of the driven opening in the direction between the first position and the second position, and
