Display device
The present invention provides a display device which allows reducing luminance unevenness around a non-display region even in a case where the non-display region is provided in a given position. A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel; a front polarizer and a back polarizer each having a polarizer opening; and a backlight unit having a unit opening. The backlight unit includes: a light guide plate; a light source provided on an end surface of the light guide plate; and edge parts respectively surrounding (i) an outer periphery of the backlight unit and (ii) the unit opening. A reflection member is provided on a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the edge part surrounding the unit opening which portion is on a side opposite to the light source, the reflection member reflecting scattered light which has been scattered by the edge part.
1. A display device comprising:
a display section including a non-display region; and
a backlight unit having an opening corresponding to the non-display region,
the backlight unit including:
a light guide plate;
a light source provided on an end surface of the light guide plate;
edge portions respectively surrounding (i) an outer periphery of the backlight unit and (ii) the opening; and
a reflection member being provided only on a first portion of an outer peripheral surface of the edge portion surrounding the opening, the first portion being on a side opposite to the light source, the reflection member reflecting scattered light which has been scattered by the edge portion surrounding the opening, wherein
the reflection member has a reflectance higher than that of a second portion of the outer peripheral surface of the edge portion surrounding the opening, the second portion being on a side toward the light source.
2. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a sub-reflection member is provided on an inner peripheral surface of the edge portion surrounding the outer periphery of the backlight unit, the sub-reflection member reflecting light from the light source.
3. The display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the sub-reflection member opposes the reflection member.
4. The display device as set forth in claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of sets, each of the plurality of sets including the sub-reflection member and the reflection member opposing the sub-reflection member.
5. The display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the sub-reflection member has a shape which is in conformity with an outer shape of the reflection member.
