The driving unit allows a diffusion intensity ratio of the light emitted from the illumination unit in a dual-view mode to be higher than the diffusion intensity ratio in a normal mode by switching the magnitude of the voltage applied to the electrode. The diffusion intensity ratio is defined as dividing the wide-angle diffusion intensity by the front diffusion intensity.
