  • Patent number: 10885875
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display device including a first display panel and a lens layer. The first display panel is provided with a first display area and a first frame located at a side of the first display area. The first display area includes a plurality of first pixels, and some of the first pixels form a first image adjustment area adjacent to the first frame. When the first image adjustment area receives a same first image source signal provided to the first display panel, brightness generated by the first pixels in the first image adjustment area is greater than that of the other first pixels in the first display area. The lens layer covers the first image adjustment area and the first frame and includes a plurality of lenses arranged side by side and respectively extending in an extending direction of the first frame.
