  • Patent number: 9855845
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display device includes a software switch region in which a first transparent resin layer, a symbol and design printed layer, a smoke printed layer, a first touch sensor sheet, and a diffusion sheet are layered in order from the front side toward the back side, and a liquid crystal touch panel region in which a second transparent resin layer, a second touch sensor sheet, and a liquid crystal sheet are layered in order from the front side toward the back side. Since the software switch region includes the diffusion sheet, not only is it possible to ensure the visibility when sunlight shines, but it is also possible to prevent the internal structure from being seen when the light source is turned off, thus enhancing the quality of the external appearance.
