Publication number: 20240280810Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel that includes a display area that displays an image on a front surface and a peripheral area located outside the display area, and that projects light incident on a back surface from the display area as display light that represents the image; a heat sink disposed to face the back surface of the display panel; a light-transmitting member held between the display panel and the heat sink; and a temperature sensor disposed in the peripheral area of the display panel to detect a temperature of the display panel. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the front surface of the display panel, the temperature sensor does not overlap with at least one of the heat sink or the light-transmitting member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka KUMANO, Daiki KAWAI, Takuma SHIMURA, Kouzou YUUKI

Publication number: 20230393391Abstract: A display device according to the present disclosure includes a display member, a light transmission member, a light diffusion member, and a plurality of protrusions. The display member has a display surface. The light transmission member is disposed on the display surface side of the display member, has a first surface on a side opposite to the display member and a second surface on the display member side, and has light transparency. The light diffusion member is disposed on a side opposite to the display surface of the display member, and has light diffusion. The plurality of protrusions is provided between the light transmission member and the display member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicants: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd., Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka KUMANO, Kouzou YUUKI, Yuji TAKASE, Keiji SUGIYAMA

Publication number: 20220132082Abstract: A display system includes a display and a light-transmitting member. The light-transmitting member has light-transmitting properties and is disposed to face a display screen of the display to dissipate heat generated by the display to outside of the display. The light-transmitting member has a higher thermal conductivity than quartz.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouzou YUUKI, Yutaka KUMANO, Yuji FUWA

Patent number: 11054640Abstract: The displaying system includes a display unit, a projection unit, and a light-transmissive member. The display unit is configured to display an image. The projection unit is configured to reflect rays of light constituting the image toward a reflective member to project the image onto the reflective member to form a virtual image in a target space. The light-transmissive member has a plate shape. The light-transmissive member is located between the reflective member and the projection unit. The light-transmissive member intersects with an optical axis of light traveling from the projection unit toward the reflective member without forming right angles. The light-transmissive member has in-plane retardation and thickness direction retardation larger than the in-plane retardation.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuji Takase, Kouzou Yuuki

Patent number: 10473966Abstract: A display device includes a light source, an optical system, a liquid crystal panel, and a first heat sink. The optical system converts light emitted from the light source into irradiation light that is to be an irradiation area having a predetermined width. The liquid crystal panel receives the irradiation light. The first heat sink includes an opening through which the irradiation light passes, and supports the liquid crystal panel. The first heat sink is in contact with the liquid crystal panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kouzou Yuuki, Junichi Nonaka, Kosuke Kubota
