The present invention includes a primary display region (15a) capable of being directly viewed by a primary viewer of a first liquid crystal display element (2); and a secondary display region (15b) incapable of being directly viewed by the viewer; a backlight device (3) provided so as to face only a portion of a back surface (2b) of the first liquid crystal display element (2) which portion corresponds to the secondary display region (15b); and a reflecting section (4, 5, 6, 7) configured to cause light emitted from the secondary display region (15b) in a forward direction to be emitted from the back surface (2b) of the primary display region (15a) in the forward direction again. This arrangement enables production of a liquid crystal display unit (1) which can carry out, with a simple arrangement, a display that provides viewers with perception of depth.
