A display device includes a display module that includes a plurality of light emitting areas and a non-light emitting area that surrounds the light emitting areas, a first polarizer disposed on the display module, a second polarizer disposed on the first polarizer, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer. A plurality of openings are defined in the first polarizer or the second polarizer, and the openings overlap the light emitting areas. The display device is switchable between public and private viewing modes via an external input, in which a viewing angle of the display device in the private viewing mode is narrower than in the public viewing mode.
