  • Patent number: 9285625
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel, a protective plate provided in a front surface of the display panel to protect the display panel; and a light shielding film. The protective plate is fixed to the display panel by a transparent adhesive applied to an area between the display panel and the protective plate. The light shielding film is formed so as to surround a display area of the display panel, including a first light shielding film formed in a frame shape, and a second light shielding film deposited on the first light shielding film. The second light shielding film has a cut-out area where the second light shielding is not formed in at least one or more corner portions of the protective plate. A concave portion is formed in the corner portion of the light shielding film from an inner peripheral edge to an outer peripheral edge.

  • Publication number: 20120176325
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a touch panel constructed from a single substrate plate and disposed over a liquid crystal display panel. A color filter is disposed over a TFT substrate, and the touch panel is bonded onto the color filter substrate by way of a first adhesion layer. An upper polarizing plate is bonded over the touch panel, and a front window is bonded over the upper polarizing plate via a second adhesion layer. The front window covers a terminal portion which is a portion where only the TFT substrate exists so as to physically protect the portion. Since the upper polarizing plate is disposed over the touch panel, the connection portion of the flexible wiring substrate for the touch panel does not contact with the front window. Thus, the touch panel can be prevented from being strained.

  • Patent number: 7751016
    Abstract: The present invention can perform, at the time of mounting flexible printed circuit boards on a display substrate, the accurate alignment without wrong mounting. A first alignment mark and a second alignment mark for performing the alignment of a flexible printed circuit board with a display substrate are attached to left and right sides of a group of lines which are formed on the flexible printed circuit board. Further, when at least one of the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark is equally divided into four areas, a shape of the alignment mark in at least one area is a shape obtained by folding back the shape of the alignment mark in other areas.
