    Abstract: A display device includes a touch panel, an optical adhesive layer, and a front light module that includes a light source and a light guide plate (LGP) including multiple microstructures recessed into the LGP from a first surface of the LGP to form voids. The optical adhesive layer is adhered between the touch panel and a first surface of the LGP. A surface of the optical adhesive layer facing the LGP is in contact with the first surface of the LGP in multiple first regions, and a surface of the optical adhesive layer facing the LGP and the plurality of microstructures being overlapped in multiple second regions. A maximum vertical distance between each void and the first surface is a first depth. A vertical distance between the first regions and the second regions is 0 to 0.7 times the first depth.
