The invention relates to the technical field of display, and discloses a display device. According to the display device, a control panel is arranged on the side, emitting light, of a backlight module, the control module comprises a plurality of control units, the control units correspond to the positions of pixel units of the display panel one to one, and each control unit has a light-transmitting work state and a light-proof work state. When the pixel units are set to be in a dark state, the corresponding control units are in the light-proof state. When the pixel units are in the bright state, the corresponding control units are in the light-transmitting state. The phenomenon that light is leaked in the dark state of the pixel units or the image brightness is not low enough in the dark state can be effectively reduced, the pixel units can be dark enough in the dark state, the image contrast ratio is improved, and image display quality is guaranteed.
