Abstract:
A display device includes an exterior surface; a main emission region comprising a side edge when viewed in a viewing direction perpendicular to the exterior surface; and an auxiliary emission region next to the side edge when viewed in the viewing direction. The device further includes a light-guide plate disposed in the auxiliary emission region when viewed in the viewing direction; and a first light source disposed adjacent to the light-guide plate and configured to emit light in a first direction to supply the light to the light-guide plate. An imaginary straight line extending from the first light source in the first direction is tilted with respect to the side edge while not crossing the side edge.
