Patent number: 10802350Abstract: A liquid crystal panel includes two substrates, an outer light-shielding portion, an inner light-shielding portion, and spacers. The substrates are bonded to each other. The outer light-shielding portion is disposed outer than an outer periphery of area display area in which an image is displayed between the substrates. The inner light-shielding portion is disposed inner than an inner periphery of the display area between the substrates. The spacers are disposed between the substrates. The spacers include outer spacers and at least one inner spacer. The outer spacers are disposed to overlap the outer light-shielding portion. The at least one inner spacer is disposed to overlap the inner light-shielding portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshihiro Shioaku, Yuta Senokuchi

Patent number: 10651130Abstract: A display device includes a display section including a first substrate and a second substrate, the display section displaying an image according to an electric signal, a terminal pad electrically connecting a conductor to a signal source or a ground node, and an information code expressing optically-readable information. The second substrate has a substrate overlapping area overlapping the first substrate in a plan view and a substrate non-overlapping area not overlapping the first substrate. At least a part of the terminal pad serves as a light-transmitting portion. The terminal pad and the information code are disposed in the substrate non-overlapping area on one plate surface of the second substrate such that they overlap each other in a plan view, with the light-transmitting portion covering the information code from above.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuhiro Kuroe, Yoshihiro Shioaku, Noriyuki Ohashi
