  • Publication number: 20200409219
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a light source, a diffusion plate, a display panel, and a scattering member. The light source emits light. The diffusion plate diffuses the light emitted from the light source. The display panel has a display area. The diffusion plate and the display panel are spaced away. The scattering member is located between the display panel and the diffusion plate with the scattering member located nearer the diffusion plate than the display panel. The diffusion plate has a first incidence surface and a first exit surface. The first incidence surface allows the light emitted from the light source to be incident thereon. The first exit surface is smaller than the display area. The diffusion plate allows the light entered from the first incidence surface to exit from the first exit surface with the light diffused. The scattering member allows the light exited from the first exit surface to pass therethrough with the light passing therethrough scattered.

  • Patent number: 10712612
    Abstract: To provide a display device whereby luminance distribution uniformity within a display surface can be improved. A display device of the present invention is provided with: a rectangular display panel, one surface of which displays an image; a substrate, which is disposed to face the other surface of the display panel, said the other surface being on the reverse side of the one surface, and on which a plurality of light sources are mounted; a diffuser plate disposed between the display panel and the substrate; and a supporting member, which has an opening, which light emitted from the light sources passes through, and which supports the peripheral end of the diffuser plate. The display device is also provided with reflecting members, which are respectively provided at the peripheries of the light sources close to four corner portions of the display panel, and which reflect light diffused by the diffuser plate to the corner portions of the display panel.
