A light diffusing member includes a base having light transmissivity, a light diffuser formed with a predetermined height on a surface of the base facing a display body, and a light blocking layer formed in a region other than the light diffuser on the surface of the base facing the display body. The light blocking layer has a thickness smaller than the height of the light diffuser. The light diffuser has a light exit end surface that is in contact with the base, and a light entrance end surface that is opposite the light exit end surface and that has an area larger than the area of the light exit end surface. The light entrance end surface is adhered to the adhesive layer, and the thickness of the adhesive layer is smaller than the height of a space formed between the light diffuser and the light blocking layer, the height extending from the light blocking layer to the light entrance end surface.
