  • Patent number: 11656699
    Abstract: The present invention provides a product with an operation display panel incorporated therein, which naturally harmonizes with the environment to not create visual noise for a user and allow the user to operate the operation display panel intuitively while feeling a natural material. A thin layer, made of a natural wood, natural fiber, natural leather, or natural stone, or a resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather or artificial stone created by imitating the appearance and touch of a natural material, is provided on the peripheral surface of a housing so that the thin layer covers at least the entire front surface of a display panel. A touch sensor incorporated comes in contact with the front surface of the panel. The thickness of the thin layer and the luminance of the panel are designed to allow the user to view the content displayed on the panel.

  • Patent number: 11275980
    Abstract: Provided are a display method and a display device with which the display performance of a two-dimensional code can be improved in a display panel that can be used without damaging the texture of a space. When a display fault occurs in a display panel in which a thin layer, comprising a naturally-derived wood, a natural fiber, a natural leather, or a natural stone, or comprising a synthetic fiber, a synthetic leather, or a synthetic stone that is a raw material produced by imitating a natural appearance and feel, is provided on the peripheral surface of a housing so as to be in contact with the panel front surface, a two-dimensional code is corrected by being moved or rotated and is displayed.
