  • Patent number: 10168468
    Abstract: Provided are an illumination device and a display device capable of even illumination. A positioning recess provided in a light guide plate and a peripheral portion of the recess are covered by a cover from one surface side of the light guide plate. As a result, the cover suppresses the emission of light emitted from the vicinity of the recess on the one surface of the light guide plate onto the outside of a backlight unit that functions as an illumination device. Thus, even if light is scattered at the recess of the light guide plate and the brightness of the vicinity of the recess is greater than the brightness of other portions, the leaking of excessively bright light onto the outside of the backlight unit (in this case, onto the display panel side) is suppressed. That is, brightness unevenness caused by the recess of the light guide plate is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10065573
    Abstract: A monitor stowage device for stowing a monitor into a stowage component, the monitor capable of being opened and closed. The monitor stowage device comprises a motor and an opening-closing mechanism. The motor supplies drive force to the opening-closing mechanism to open and close the monitor. The drive force from the motor is transmitted to the opening-closing mechanism, and the opening-closing mechanism changes the state of the monitor from a closed state to an open state, the closed state in which the monitor is stowed in a stowage space of the stowage component such that the long-side direction of the monitor is aligned with a direction substantially perpendicular to the width direction of the stowage section, and the open state being a state in which the monitor is deployed in such a manner that the long-side direction of the monitor is aligned with the lateral direction.
