Abstract:
A direct-viewing type display device 100a includes a display panel 100 having a display region 120 including pixels arrayed in a row direction and a column direction and a frame region 130 provided outside the display region, such that a first border line B1 and a second border line B2 exist between the display region and the frame region; and a light-transmitting cover 200 disposed on the viewer's side. The display region includes a peripheral display region 125 and a central display region 124; a third border line B3 and a fourth border line B4 exist between the peripheral display region and the central display region; the peripheral display region includes a first peripheral display section 121; the light-transmitting cover includes a lens portion disposed over the peripheral display region and the frame region; and the lens portion refracts light going out from a pixel 171 within the first peripheral display section in a direction X1 from a point where the third border line and the fourth border line intersect toward the pixel 171. According to the present invention, a display device is provided whose entire frame region including the corner portions can be obscured, such that joints can be obscured in the case of tiling.
