Abstract: The liquid crystal display device includes an edge backlight including a transparent light guide plate and light-emitting elements of multiple colors that are disposed such that the light-emitting elements of multiple colors are adjacent to each other, a dimming liquid crystal layer that is disposed such that the dimming liquid crystal layer overlaps at least an end portion of the transparent light guide plate that faces the light-emitting elements of multiple colors in a plan view and that has a degree of haze that increases or decreases by applying a voltage, and a transmissive liquid crystal display panel that includes pixels. With the backlight on, the dimming liquid crystal layer is in a diffusion state, and the liquid crystal display panel performs the color display. With the backlight off, the dimming liquid crystal layer is in a transmission state, and the liquid crystal display panel performs the transparent display.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device including an antenna coil is provided. The device includes a liquid crystal panel; a backlight; and a bezel. The bezel includes a front bezel and a rear bezel, and houses the liquid crystal panel and the backlight using the front bezel and the rear bezel in combination. The front bezel is disposed on a liquid crystal panel side and provided with an opening superposed on a display region of the liquid crystal panel. The rear bezel is disposed on a backlight side and includes an antenna coil formed form a conductive material and an outer edge positioned outside the antenna coil in a plan view. The antenna coil is electrically insulated from the front bezel and the outer edge of the rear bezel.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel configured to display an image, a proximity sensor extending along an outer periphery of the display panel and configured to generate capacitance with a conductor to detect presence of the conductor near the proximity sensor, and a connector electrically connected to the proximity sensor and a component of the display device other than the proximity sensor.

Abstract: A display device includes a display element having a display area, a light source, and a light guide element. The light guide element includes a light incident surface that receives incoming light from the light source, an opposite end face opposite to the light incident surface, a light exit surface that emits the light toward the display element, and an opposite plate surface opposite to the light exit surface. The light guide element has a through-hole penetrating the light guide element from the light exit surface to the opposite plate surface, the through-hole corresponding in location to the display area. In an adjacent area adjacent to the opposite end face, a light reflection portion having a reflection surface is disposed, the reflection surface being serrated in a plan view and reflecting light guided by the light guide element to the opposite end face, toward the through-hole.
