According to an aspect, a display device includes: a first polarization member configured to absorb light linearly polarized in a second polarization direction orthogonal to a first polarization direction; an optical sheet configured to reflect light linearly polarized in the second polarization direction and transmit light linearly polarized in the first polarization direction; a front panel disposed between the first polarization member and the optical sheet and capable of changing a polarization direction of incident light into another polarization direction in accordance with a voltage applied to the front panel; and a display panel overlapping with the front panel with a second polarization member interposed therebetween, the second polarization member configured to transmit light linearly polarized in the second polarization direction to the optical sheet.
