  • Publication number: 20240027810
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, and a protector provided on a display surface of the display panel. The protector includes a first glass substrate positioned on a user side, a second glass substrate positioned between the first glass substrate and display surface, and a first adhesive layer that adheres the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate to each other. A thickness of the first glass substrate is 0.5 mm or less, and a pummel value of the first adhesive layer is from 7 to 10.

  • Publication number: 20230415665
    Abstract: A display device includes a display having a display surface, and a holder that is provided on a surface of a side opposite the display surface of the display and that fixes the display to the fixing target. In a state in which the display device is fixed to the fixing target, when an impactor impacts the display surface on a center line that passes through a center of a display region of the display and that is perpendicular to the display region, a rigidity to impact of the display device is asymmetrical.

  • Patent number: 11841564
    Abstract: A display device includes a liquid crystal display including a first liquid crystal display panel that displays a character or an image; a decorative member; and a controller that controls the display of the liquid crystal display. The decorative member is disposed on a display surface side of the liquid crystal display, and includes a display region in which the display of the liquid crystal display is transparently displayed, and a non-display region adjacent to the display region. The controller controls a luminance through the decorative member of a black display of the liquid crystal display to a luminance invisible to a user, and controls the luminance through the decorative member of a low-gradation region, except for the black display, of the liquid crystal display to a luminance visible to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230205018
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate curved in a first direction, a second substrate curved in the first direction and facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a seal that adheres the first substrate and the second substrate to each other, and that seals the liquid crystal. When cross-sectionally viewing on a cross-section including the first direction and a display direction, a curved surface conforming to first main surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate includes at least one inflection point in a region surrounded by the seal, and tangent planes of the curved surface at each inner peripheral end of the seal are parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 10234709
    Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus or the like based on a housing-in technique capable of improving display quality and yield. A display apparatus comprises an upper-lower substrate 100, a display module 103 including a housing 102 with an opening, a resin member 105 formed on the upper-lower substrate 100 along an entire periphery of an opening of the housing 102, and a front panel 106 opposed to the display module 103 across the resin member 105. The housing 102 is so placed as to be interposed between the upper-lower substrate 100 and the front panel 106. A worked surface 500 is located at a part of a ridge line of a boundary part of the housing 102. The resin member 105 is in contact with the entire periphery of the boundary part of the housing 102 and hangs over the inner edge of the upper surface of the housing 102.
