Patent number: 11845563Abstract: An information display device is attachable to a structure, and includes a display panel and a surface member. The display panel has a display surface and is configured to display information on the display surface. The surface member is disposed on a display surface side of the display panel and is configured such that only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel is visible through the surface member when the display panel is turned on. The surface member includes a first layer disposed on a front side, and a second layer disposed on the display panel side with respect to the first layer. The second layer is configured to compensate for a difference of transmittance depending on a position on the first layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Masaharu Matsumoto

Patent number: 11605362Abstract: The information display device includes a surface member, a display, a light measurement unit, and a controller. The surface member is at least partially transmissive for light. The display is disposed on a back side of the surface member and is capable of displaying a display image including an information area for displaying information and a non-information area for displaying no information. The light measurement unit measures the amount of ambient light around the information display device. The controller acquires the amount of light measured by the light measurement unit and changes a pixel value of a display image according to the amount of light so that the display is difficult to be seen through a surface of the surface member.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Masaharu Matsumoto, Yoshifumi Asao, Takeshi Hatakeyama, Tomonori Sugiyama, Hideaki Nakagawa
