Abstract: A plurality of main seal patterns and dummy seal patterns are formed by a sealant on one of substrates. The plurality of main seal patterns individually enclose each of a plurality of display areas. The dummy seal patterns individually enclose the plurality of main seal patterns, and sides of the dummy seal patterns facing sides of the one substrate are all interconnected. These formations enable constant vacuum levels to be maintained the inside and the outside of the main seal patterns when the inside of a chamber of an assembling device is recovered to atmospheric pressure. Therefore, distortion of substrates is impeded in the vicinity of the main seal patterns, and degradation of display quality can be prevented.

Further, phase lagging axis of the upper and lower ?/4 phase difference plate is set substantially equal to the orientation axis direction of the optical film having negative uniaxial double refractive index ellipsoids.

Abstract: Alignment of an imaging area of a display with a user's eye provides optimum image quality for the user. Typically, a display is formed of a display panel encased within a carrier. The carrier is used to mechanically align the display panel within a device housing. However, the display panel must first be aligned within the carrier and the carrier and display combination aligned within a device housing. By utilizing the display panel without the carrier, one alignment step is removed from the installation process. Placing the display panel within a housing having an alignment device ensures proper alignment of an imaging area of the display panel with an opening of the housing.
