Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a first light guide element and a light-emitting element. The liquid crystal layer contains stringy polymers and liquid crystal molecules. The first light guide element includes a third transparent substrate including a side surface and a main surface, and a transparent layer disposed on the main surface and having a refractive index lower than that of the third transparent substrate. The light-emitting element opposes the side surface, and the third transparent substrate is adhered to the second transparent substrate while interposing the transparent layer therebetween. The light-emitting element is disposed on the second transparent substrate.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel and a light-emitting module. The light-emitting module includes a first light source having a first light-emitting point, a second light source having a second light-emitting point, a first light guide and a second light guide forming a contact portion in contact with the first light guide. The first light guide and the second light guide are arranged in a first direction, and a distance between the contact portion and the first light-emitting point along the first direction is equal to a distance between the contact portion and the second light-emitting point along the first direction.
