Patent ID: 8743298

Claim:
A display device comprising: a light source section; first to third polarization plates disposed in this order from a side of the light source section; a liquid crystal display section provided in one of first and second regions, the first region lying between the first polarization plate and the second polarization plate and the second region lying between the second polarization plate and the third polarization plate; a liquid crystal barrier section provided in the other of the first and second regions and including a plurality of opening-closing sections to transmit or block light, wherein an absorption axis of the third polarization plate is horizontally directed; further comprising a fourth polarization plate provided between the liquid crystal display section and the liquid crystal barrier section, and having an absorption axis directed to an orientation same as that of an absorption axis of the second polarization plate, wherein the absorption axis of the second polarization plate and the absorption axis of the fourth polarization plate are vertically directed.
