  • Patent number: 8031314
    Abstract: A color liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate having data lines and scan lines arranged in a matrix, a second substrate having four-color filter segments to provide four sub-pixels forming a pixel, a frame-shaped sealing material through which the first and second substrates are bonded together, and a liquid crystal sealed in a gap surrounded by the first and second substrates and the sealing material. The data lines and the scan lines are drawn out of the sealing material and arranged as inspection data lines having a predetermined length. Among the inspection data lines LR, LG, LB, LC corresponding to the four-color filter segments, at least one pair of the inspection lines for two colors sandwich one inspection data line for one color and have identical lengths.

  • Patent number: 7515213
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image display unit comprising a liquid crystal parallax barrier provided on the surface of an image display unit such as a transmitting liquid crystal display unit across a transparent plate, wherein a shielding member such as a black mask for shielding the outgoing light of a light incident from the side surface of the transparent plate is provided in the vicinity of the boundary of the effective display area of the parallax barrier. The shielding member may be provided inside or outside the parallax barrier. Such a construction can prevent blur forming in the vicinity of the boundary of the effective display area or a deterioration in display quality such as insufficient black displaying at a part that should be black-displayed, thereby providing a three-dimensional image display unit giving a good display quality in the vicinity of the boundary of the effective display area even if it is enlarged in size.

  • Patent number: 7477338
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal panel having a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate provided with a terminal part protruding beyond the first glass substrate; a backlight provided with a light source, a light guide plate and an optical sheet; a case for housing the liquid crystal panel and the backlight; and a double-sided tape for bonding the second glass substrate side of the liquid crystal panel and the case. The double-sided tape is provided at a frame part in the outer circumference of the effective display section of the liquid crystal panel which is closer to the effective display section than the terminal part and where the first and second glass substrates overlap. The double-sided tape is narrower than the width of the frame part where the first and second glass substrates overlap. Consequently, there can be obtained a liquid crystal display having such a structure that the liquid crystal panel is insusceptible to damage when dropped.

  • Patent number: 7365809
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display device 30 comprising a backlight 32, a liquid crystal display panel 36, a liquid crystal parallax barrier 44, and a spacer member 40 arranged between the liquid crystal display panel 36 and the liquid crystal parallax barrier 44, in which the spacer member 40 is made of a glass material different from that of the glass substrates 36a, 36b constituting the liquid crystal display panel 36, and the spacer member 40 is a glass substrate having a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the glass substrates 36a, 36b constituting the liquid crystal display panel 36. More specifically, it is preferable that the spacer member 40 consist of a soda glass substrate and that the liquid crystal display panel 36 for display be formed of non-alkali glass.
