  • Publication number: 20230393391
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230292476
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel that includes, in a front surface, a display area in which an image is displayed, and projects, from the display area, light that has entered from a back surface as display light showing the image; a thermal conductive sheet that is disposed contacting the display panel, and has an opening positionally corresponding with the display area; and a light transmissive material that sandwiches the thermal conductive sheet together with the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20220132082
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11054640
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10473966
    Abstract: 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.
