According to an aspect, a display device comprising: a display unit; a plurality of electrodes arranged side by side in a first direction along a display surface of the display unit; a detecting unit that detects one of an electric resistance of the electrodes, a voltage, and a current; and a specifying unit that specifies temperature distribution of the display surface based on the one of the electric resistance of the electrodes, the voltage, and the current. The electrodes are tapered in a second direction along the display surface and orthogonal to the first direction, and the electrodes include a first electrode tapered toward one side in the second direction and a second electrode tapered toward the other side opposite to the one side. The first and second electrodes are alternately arranged side by side in the first direction.
