Abstract: In the present display device, LEDs are controlled to be lit up in an alternating manner where BG-LEDs (34) and BR-LEDs (35) are controlled to be lit up alternatingly every half of one frame period, such that only G display elements are used for display in a first subframe where the BG-LEDs (34) are lit up, and only B and R display elements are used for display in a second subframe where the BR-LEDs (35) are lit up. As a result, even in the case where crosstalk occurs (with respect to color filters of a certain color), display elements of colors for which such crosstalk can be inhibited or eliminated are simply used for display so that a reduction in color reproducibility can be inhibited or eliminated.

Abstract: A liquid crystal panel (2) is equipped with a first transparent substrate (21) on which a TFT is formed, a second transparent substrate (22), and a liquid crystal layer (23) interposed therebetween. An illumination device is disposed on the first transparent substrate side of the liquid crystal panel. When viewed along the normal direction of the primary surfaces of the first and second transparent substrates, a portion of the first transparent substrate protrudes beyond the second transparent substrate and a portion of the second transparent substrate protrudes beyond the first transparent substrate. The portion of the second transparent substrate which protrudes beyond the first transparent substrate is supported by a support part (41). Thus, it is possible to reduce display anomalies generated when pressure is applied to the display screen by a finger or the like.
