  • Publication number: 20230375869
    Abstract: A display device includes: a mirror body; a display component; and a mirror component disposed between the mirror body and the display component and switchable between a transmitting state in which external light and picture light are transmitted and a reflecting state in which the external light passing through the mirror body is reflected. The mirror body includes: a substrate transparent to light; an absorptive polarizer covering a first region not including the mirror component or the display component and a second region including the mirror component and the display component in plan view; and a reflective polarizer disposed on a rear face of the substrate and including an opening in the second region. The mirror component includes: a liquid crystal layer capable of changing a polarization direction of the external light; and a reflective polarizer disposed on a side of the liquid crystal layer adjacent to the display component.

  • Patent number: 11086156
    Abstract: An image display device includes: an image display unit which includes a display panel switchable between an image display mode in which an image is displayed and a transmissive mode in which the display panel is in a transmissive state where an object behind the image display unit is visible in a front view of the display panel; a controller which controls an operation of the display panel; and a lower shelf board which is a holding member. The lower shelf board is disposed projecting rearward from a rear surface of the image display unit and holds the controller in a housed state.

  • Patent number: 10959545
    Abstract: An image display device includes an image display unit including a display panel, a shelf board, and an illumination unit. The display panel is switchable between an image display mode in which an image is displayed and a transmissive mode in which the display panel is in a transmissive state where objects behind image display unit is visible in a front view of the display panel. The shelf board is disposed projecting rearward from the rear surface of image display unit, and extends in the lateral direction. The illumination unit is disposed above the shelf board and emits light downward.

  • Patent number: 6592420
    Abstract: A glass substrate manufacturing method and a color cathode ray tube manufacturing method manufactures a front substrate on which a phosphor layer is formed. In an application process a phosphor slurry of one color is applied onto an inner surface of a glass substrate on which a phosphor pattern in at least one color has already been formed. Then, in a spreading process, the glass substrate is rotated about an axis located at the approximate center of the inner surface to make the phosphor slurry spread out over its inner surface. Following this, in a draining process the glass substrate is tilted to a first tilt angle of more than 90° to drain excess slurry off the inner surface of the glass substrate, a tilt angle being formed between a vertical axis and an axis orthogonal to an outer surface of the glass substrate. In a spinning process the glass substrate is returned to a second tilt angle smaller than the first tilt angle, and rotated.
