Abstract: A plurality of light emitting diode elements of a display panel (display apparatus) include: a first light emitting diode element, a second light emitting diode element and a third light emitting diode element. In the X direction, a plurality of the first light emitting diode elements, single or a plurality of the second light emitting diode elements and single or a plurality of the third light emitting diode elements are repeatedly arranged. The total number of the first light emitting diode elements is larger than the total number of the second light emitting diode elements. Light flux of the light of the first color emitted from the first light emitting diode elements is lower than light flux of the light of the second color emitted from the second light emitting diode elements.

Abstract: A performance of an apparatus is improved. A display apparatus includes: a light guide panel; a light source unit including a plurality of light emitting diode elements arranged in an X direction at a position facing a side surface of the light guide panel; and a plurality of lenses arranged in the X direction between the light guide panel and the light source unit and adhered to each other while sandwiching an adhesive layer allowing visible light to penetrate therethrough. Each of the plurality of lenses includes a surface facing the light source unit, a surface opposite to this surface, and a side surface (lens side surface) crossing these surfaces and being adhered to the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is arranged between the sides surfaces facing each other.
