Patent number: 9551891Abstract: According to an aspect, a display module includes a display panel that displays an image on a display surface; an optical member; and a housing that supports the display panel and the optical member. The housing includes a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing that is arranged on a side of the second housing opposite to the first housing side. An end of the first housing on a display surface side of the display panel protrudes toward the center of the display surface to face an outer edge of the display surface. An end of the second housing on a side opposite to the display surface side of the display panel protrudes toward the center of the display surface to face an outer edge of a surface opposite to the display surface. The optical member is provided between the second housing and the third housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventor: Kazumoto Shinojima

Patent number: 7349620Abstract: A wiring circuit board is supported on the back surface of a light-guide plate and the wiring circuit board is inclined in a predetermined direction relative to the panel surface of a liquid crystal panel or to an arrangement position of a holding case. As a result, a substrate terminal is also arranged at an inclined position in the predetermined direction. A connector is mounted on a circuit board. Connector terminals of the connector are elastically deformable at least in a direction contacting the substrate terminal. These connector terminals are conductively connected to a plurality of mounting terminals, which are exposed and extended on the surface of the circuit board, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2003Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Kazumoto Shinojima
