  • Publication number: 20240048838
    Abstract: An image catching, from the vicinity of a front surface, an eye gaze of a user closely looking at a display area is displayed with less sense of strangeness. [Solving Means] Provided is a display apparatus that includes a first display section including a first display area having transparency, a second display section including a second display area disposed in such a manner as to be visible through the first display area, and an image taking section disposed between the first display section and the second display section to enable an image of a user facing the first display area to be taken via the first display area.

  • Patent number: 7535543
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device constrains the injection of air bubbles in a cooling fluid into a display panel. In the display device, the cooling fluid is supplied to a receiving space of a receiving unit placed and opposed to a surface of a liquid crystal panel to which the light is emitted from a light source to thereby cool the liquid crystal panel. Namely, by a cooling fluid pump, the cooling fluid received in the receiving unit is drained from a drain port and the cooling fluid is supplied from a feed port to the receiving unit and received in the receiving space. In the above case, a part of a flow path of the cooling fluid supplied from the feed port is blocked by a flow path block unit placed and opposed to the feed port to thereby disperse the flow thereof around the flow path block unit.
