The display device includes: a display panel; and a surface light source section. A transmittance of light transmitted from a front surface of a prism sheet of the surface light source section is lowest when an incident angle thereof is a determined angle. An angle distribution conversion sheet of the surface light source section has a conversion region that causes light incident on a front surface thereof at the determined incident angle to be emitted from a back surface thereof at an emission angle of not larger than 40° or not smaller than 60°, in a cross-sectional view in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of prisms. When light is applied to the front surface of the angle distribution conversion sheet at the determined incident angle and in the direction in a front view, 20% or more of the light passes through the conversion region.
