Patent number: 11187935Abstract: A display panel includes an array substrate in which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, and the counter substrate. A non-display area of the array substrate is provided with the transfer electrode for supplying a potential to the counter substrate. The counter substrate includes: a first film; a counter electrode placed closer to the array substrate in relation to the first film, and supplied with the potential from the transfer electrode; and an alignment film stacked on the counter electrode. The counter substrate includes first grooves provided between a display area and a transfer overlapping area overlapping with the transfer electrode, the first grooves penetrating the counter electrode and at least a portion of the first film. The first grooves extend in a first longitudinal direction, and are formed in broken line in the first longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Noriyuki Ohashi, Yasuhiro Kuroe

Publication number: 20200292874Abstract: Display pixel includes colored pixels of n colors. In a case where a colored pixel being one of the colored pixels including the curved line portion and being located at an outermost end side in an array direction is defined as a display end pixel, the array direction being a direction in which the colored pixels are repeatedly arrayed with the colored pixels of the n colors being a unit, a first light blocking portion is provided in line with a shape of the curved line portion in the display end pixel, and a second light blocking portion having a shape and a size substantially the same as a shape and a size of the first light blocking portion is provided in each of the colored pixels of (n?1) colors consecutively arrayed next to the display end pixel toward the display region in the array direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Noriyuki OHASHI, Yasuhiro KUROE

Patent number: 10651130Abstract: A display device includes a display section including a first substrate and a second substrate, the display section displaying an image according to an electric signal, a terminal pad electrically connecting a conductor to a signal source or a ground node, and an information code expressing optically-readable information. The second substrate has a substrate overlapping area overlapping the first substrate in a plan view and a substrate non-overlapping area not overlapping the first substrate. At least a part of the terminal pad serves as a light-transmitting portion. The terminal pad and the information code are disposed in the substrate non-overlapping area on one plate surface of the second substrate such that they overlap each other in a plan view, with the light-transmitting portion covering the information code from above.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuhiro Kuroe, Yoshihiro Shioaku, Noriyuki Ohashi

Publication number: 20200110302Abstract: A display panel includes display pixels, a display area in which an image is displayed, and a non-display area in which no image is displayed. A boundary between the display area and the non-display area has a shape including a curve portion. The display pixels include center section display pixels and peripheral section display pixels. The center section display pixels are disposed in a center section of the display area. The peripheral section display pixels are disposed in sections of the display panel including the boundary between the display area and the non-display area. The peripheral section display pixels are formed as if by dividing the center section display pixels.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Yasuhiro KUROE, Noriyuki OHASHI
