A
display device (100) includes a plurality of display panels having a display region (31a, 31b) and a frame region (30a, 30b). The plurality of display panels include first and second display panels adjoining each other (10a, 10b); the frame region (30a) of the first display panel is overlapped by a side face (18b) of the second display panel so that an angle θ defined by viewer-side surfaces (17a, 17b) is more than 0° but less than 180°; first and second
light guide elements (20a, 20b) are disposed on the viewer's side of
peripheral display regions (32a, 32b); the
light guide elements have an incident face, an outgoing face, and a plurality of light guiding portions; the distance between the incident face and the outgoing face increases away from the
peripheral display region and toward the frame region; the volume of the
first light guide element is larger than the volume of the second
light guide element; and the outgoing faces of the first and second light guide elements are covered by a functional film. According to the present invention, there is provided a direct-viewing type
display device which is easier to produce or incurs lower cost than conventionally, and in which the frame regions of the display panels, or a joint in the case of tiling, are obscured.
