  • Publication number: 20160037608
    Abstract: A display device that can display an image along a curved surface is provided. In the display device, a first display panel and a second display panel overlap each other with a light-transmitting layer provided therebetween. The light-transmitting layer is positioned on a display surface side of the first display panel, and on a side opposite to the display surface of the second display panel. The light-transmitting layer has an average transmittance of 80% or more with respect to light in the wavelength range of 450 nm to 700 nm and a refractive index higher than that of air. A display region of the first display panel overlaps a region transmitting visible light of the second display panel with the light-transmitting layer provided therebetween. It is preferred that the display region of the first display panel not overlap with a region blocking visible light of the second display panel.

  • Publication number: 20160019019
    Abstract: To provide a display device that is suitable for increasing in size. To provide a display device in which display unevenness is suppressed. In a display device, a plurality of display panels are arranged to partly overlap one another. In two of the overlapping display panels, a display panel positioned on the display surface side includes a region transmitting visible light that is adjacent to a display portion, and the region transmitting visible light overlaps with a pixel of a display panel positioned on the lower side. Furthermore, in at least a display portion of the display panel placed on the lower side, an aperture ratio of the pixel overlapping with the region transmitting visible light of the display panel on the upper side is higher than an aperture ratio of another pixel.
