Description

  The present invention relates to a display device for displaying necessary information.

  As a display device constituting a display unit of a television (TV) receiver that receives a broadcast signal and displays it, a CRT (CRT) has generally been used for a long time. This CRT display device is used not only for the display of a television receiver but also for a personal computer, other monitor displays, and the like.

  On the other hand, recently, a display device having a display unit represented by liquid crystal has been used as an alternative to CRT. In this case, the display portion is flat and the whole is a flat panel shape. Therefore, it is thinner than the CRT, and the overall size can be greatly reduced. For this reason, it is lighter and has a much smaller installation area than the CRT, and has come to be widely used. In addition, power consumption has been greatly reduced, and it is very friendly to the environment, and has become the mainstream of display devices. As the flat panel-shaped display section, not only liquid crystal but also a plasma display panel has been put into practical use, and an organic EL panel has been put into practical use.

  A display device having a flat panel-shaped display unit is generally placed on a placement surface such as a placement table or a floor via a pedestal.

  The pedestal generally has a structure in which the display unit is supported (held) by a support (supporting member) erected on the pedestal. Therefore, from the user (user) side who visually recognizes the display unit, the display device mounted on the mounting table or the mounting surface on the floor visually checks the state where the display unit is supported by the support column together with the display screen. become. At the same time, if the display device is a TV, a power cord, a broadcast signal lead wire (code), a connection lead wire (code) for recording and playback such as a DVD, a game machine, and other accessories Various cords for connection are connected and visually observed at the same time. Note that not only the TV but also a display device used as a display monitor for a personal computer has a connection with a personal computer body, a power cord, other connection cords, etc., and these are visually observed together.

  The display device including the flat panel display unit as described above is more advantageous in terms of power consumption than the display device including the CRT display unit, but the price is higher. However, recently, mass production has been carried out, and the price has been lowered and the spread has been spurred.

  Moreover, as a display device provided with a flat panel-shaped display unit, it is arranged as a part of room decorations (accessories) and interior items as well as the original function of visually recognizing the projected information (video). It has become like this. Therefore, an excellent shape and form are desired from the viewpoint of design. For example, a display device having a very clean appearance and an excellent design has been provided by devising a pedestal that supports a display unit having a flat panel shape and a column supporting the display unit.

  However, apart from the display device main body, as described above, it was visually recognized that various codes exist in a complicated manner, so that it was ruined to be placed as a room decoration or interior product. There is a case. In addition, if a variety of codes that are intricately appear in the eyes while viewing the video on the large screen, it will be distracted and the large screen image will not be enjoyed.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-279562), in a flat panel display device, various connection cords including a power cord are visually observed. Has been proposed. This is because a support plate (panel), which is a support for supporting a display unit (planar display panel), is made of a transparent plate on a pedestal for mounting the display device on a floor or a mounting table, and a transparent electrode is formed on the support plate. A plurality of are formed. Each end of each transparent electrode is connected to various cords including a power cord at a base portion via a connector or the like. Then, the flat display panel portion and each other end side of each transparent electrode are electrically connected.

  With the above configuration, the various connection cords including the power cord are connected to the display unit of the flat panel via the transparent support plate, so that the cords and the like are not visually recognized. For this reason, the flat display panel is supported on the pedestal via the transparent support plate. As a result, Patent Document 1 describes that a flat panel portion can appear to float without visually recognizing the presence of a lead wire or the like.

  For reference, Patent Document 2 also describes that the display screen (screen) looks like a floating state. This forms a transparent portion around the display surface where the back surface can be visually recognized. As a result, it is described that the surface screen is visible without being supported, and thus appears to float in the air.

JP 2004-279562 A JP 2007-233402 A

  According to the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, the transparent member is used to make the display screen (screen) or flat panel (planar display unit) appear to float.

  Therefore, in addition to visually recognizing the video (information) displayed on the display screen, an effect is taken such that the screen is viewed in a floating state.

  However, since the back side of the display unit, that is, the back side of the display device is seen through the support member or the like, if another article is placed in that region, the placed object jumps into the eyes. Or a wall etc. are visually observed as it is. If the wall is dirty, the dirt can be seen directly, and the production of the corner may be spoiled.

  In addition, when the entire room is used as a clean decoration or as an interior item, it is impossible to hide unnecessary articles or the like that are not desired to be displayed on the back surface of the display device so that only the display device is visible.

  In other words, the display device tends to be large, but there are various articles on the back of the display device, which cannot be hidden even if it is hidden. If it is going to hide it, in patent document 1, the transparent support plate will be comprised with the non-transmissive material which does not permeate | transmit light for blinding. If the support plate is made of such an impermeable material, it is impossible to produce an effect that the display device appears to float. That is, the effect of floating the display unit described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is spoiled and the purpose cannot be achieved.

  The display devices described in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2 have no concept and idea such as blindfolding for the effect of making them appear to be floating, and cannot be adopted. In other words, the purpose is achieved by the technical idea of being able to see through. Accordingly, if there are articles, dirt on the wall, or the like on the rear surface to be seen through, the production effect and purpose cannot be achieved, and the installation location is limited. That is, there is a placement restriction that the display device cannot be placed at a position where the display device is desired to be placed. For example, when an outlet, a TV antenna terminal, a communication terminal, or the like is provided on a wall, the display device cannot be placed so as to hide it.

  Moreover, lead wires are wired from the outlet, the TV antenna terminal, the communication terminal, and the other communication terminals, respectively, but all of them cannot be hidden by the display device as described above.

  Furthermore, if the display surface of the display device becomes a large screen, the display device naturally becomes large, and in order to achieve the above-described effects, the installation location is limited, and a part of the wall surface is hidden by the display device including the support portion. If you want, you can't install them to hide them.

  As described above, if the display part described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is not performed for floating, the transparent part may be made of a non-transparent member for the purpose of hiding the back side. Several such proposals have also been made. In addition, when the screen is enlarged, the entire display device is enlarged including the support plate and the like other than the display unit other than the display unit. As a result, a feeling of weight and a feeling of pressure increase, and it is transmitted to the user as it is.

  Therefore, it is better if the room where the large screen display device is installed is large, but if the large screen display device is installed in a small room, most of the space will be occupied by the display device, and the feeling of weight and pressure will be further enhanced. I can't expect to see the big screen. In addition, the user feels that the display device is overturned due to the feeling of pressure, and the screen cannot be viewed with a sufficient margin.

  The first object of the present invention is to provide a display device that solves the above problems.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a display device that can visually recognize a screen with a feeling of opening without feeling as heavy as a difference even when the screen is enlarged.

  Moreover, the objective of this invention is providing the display apparatus which can hide the back side of a display apparatus.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a neat display device that does not give a feeling of pressure as well as a feeling of weight.

  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device that is inferior even if the display device is arranged in a room as one of ornaments and interiors.

  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device that enables a visual effect as if the display device body is floating in the air even if the back surface of the display device is blindfolded.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides a display device that hides the necessary and unnecessary items placed on the back side of the display device and enhances the effect of the decoration and the interior effect. It is.

  The display device of the present invention described below is configured so that the display device main body can be seen as if it is floating on the floor or the mounting table, and the back surface of the display device can be hidden. . In addition, the present invention is configured such that the display device is placed so that the entire room can be sensed and the screen can be viewed with a feeling of opening.

  According to the present invention, an extending portion that extends to a placement surface on which the display device is placed is provided below the display portion that displays information constituting the display device.

  This extending portion is configured so that the front surface, that is, the back surface cannot be viewed from the display screen side. Therefore, it is the structure which blindfolds the back side.

  The extending portion has a structure having a member that reflects light.

  By having the member to be reflected, the extending portion is configured to project a mounting surface such as a floor or a mounting table located on the front surface. Therefore, it can be visually recognized as if the floor or the mounting table further spreads out on the back side of the display device. In addition, since the back surface is hidden by the extended portion, the support for supporting the display device is also hidden. For this reason, since the presence of a column or the like cannot be confirmed, the display device is visually observed while floating in the air.

  This is achieved by the extended portion serving as a reflecting member.

  Further, the extended portion may be configured so as not to be seen through the back side of the display device, and the member constituting the extended portion is not particularly limited. As a member for reflecting, a reflecting member is provided on at least the front surface side or the back surface side of the extended portion. The reflection member can be formed by coating, evaporating, or the like a coating, a metal film, or the like on the extended portion.

  Moreover, it does not reflect like a mirror, but the resin film which is a highly reflective member using resin etc. can be affixed on an extended part, or the extended part itself can be comprised with a highly reflective resin member.

  The display unit constituting the display device is not limited to a flat panel shape but may be a display unit using a CRT or the like.

  Furthermore, the display unit is not limited to receiving a broadcast signal and displaying it, but may be a display device such as a personal computer, and may be a monitor that displays various information.

  According to the display device described above, the display device is visually observed in a state of floating on a floor or a mounting surface such as a mounting table without support. Therefore, even if the screen of the display device is enlarged, the feeling of weight can be greatly reduced and suppressed. At the same time, the feeling of pressure can be reduced or suppressed.

  On the other hand, you can feel the spaciousness, depth, etc. of the room on the back side of the display device, and you can immerse yourself in an open feeling.

  Further, since the display device can be seen floating on the floor or mounting table even if no information is displayed on the screen, it can be expected not only as a display function but also as a decoration effect and an interior effect. Therefore, the role as a decorative product and the role as an interior product can be expected, and the utility value is increased.

  In addition, you can expect the effect of blindfolding, you can see the whole room clearly, even if unnecessary and necessary things are not placed on the back of the display device, you can also feel a sense of openness further Become.

  According to the display device of the present invention, when used as a display function, it is possible to immerse yourself in the display on the screen and visually recognize it without making any unnecessary objects visible. Therefore, you can enjoy viewing the large screen.

The perspective view seen from the front side which shows an example of the display device concerning the present invention. The perspective view seen from the back side which shows an example of the display device concerning the present invention. The side view of the display apparatus concerning this invention. The front view for demonstrating the Example of this invention. It is a figure for demonstrating the contrast by the example (A) by the display apparatus concerning this invention, and the comparative example (B) unrelated to the display apparatus of this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  An example of the display device of the present invention is shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view viewed from the front side of the display device (in the direction of viewing the display), and FIG. 2 is a perspective view viewed from the back side of the display device. FIG. 3 is a side view of the display device of the present invention viewed from the side.

  The display device of the present invention uses a flat FPD (Flat Panel Display) as shown in the drawings, and a liquid crystal display panel will be described as an example. The present invention is not limited to such a display panel using FPD, and various forms can be applied. For example, a display device using a CRT method may be used. Needless to say, the FPD is not limited to the liquid crystal display panel, but can be similarly applied to a display panel such as a plasma display or an organic EL display.

  First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a display device, and the display device 1 is shown in a state of being placed on a floor or a placing table 2. The main body of the display device 1 is not limited to be placed on the placement table 2 and may be directly installed on the floor of the room.

  As shown in the drawing, in order to mount the display device 1 main body on the mounting table 2, a pedestal 3 is provided at the lower portion of the display device 1. The pedestal 3 includes, for example, a front part 3A having a front side formed in a semicircular shape, and a rear part connected to the front part 3A formed in a relatively large rectangular shape for the purpose of preventing overturning as apparent from FIG. It is integrally formed with 3B. For example, the circular portion (semicircular shape) of the front surface portion 3A is relatively compact, that is, formed small. On the other hand, the rear portion 3B corresponding to the back side of the display device 1 of the pedestal 3 is formed in a relatively large rectangular shape to prevent the overturn as described above. Thereby, the support of the display apparatus 1 can be stabilized and the effect of preventing a fall can be improved.

  A rectangular parallelepiped column (support member) 5 for supporting and supporting the display panel 4 which is an FPD for displaying as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. Is erected. The display panel 4 is fixedly held at one end of the column 5. Thereby, the display device 1 main body is placed on the floor of the room or on the placement table 2 via the pedestal 3.

  The display panel 4 has a conventionally well-known structure and is not directly related to the present invention, but the structure will be briefly described. The display panel 4 encloses a liquid crystal and has a panel main body for displaying in a resin-formed external cabinet (exterior cabinet) 6. In the external cabinet 6, various circuit boards including a drive control board for displaying information on the liquid crystal display panel 4 are provided. In addition, a power supply cord, a TV signal input terminal, and an output terminal are provided. These are connected to a large number of connection terminals such as video input / output terminals and other connection terminals 7 so as to be exposed to the outside. These terminals and the power cord are electrically connected to the circuit board.

  The external cabinet 6 has an opening on the front side corresponding to the rectangular area (display screen) 4a of the panel body. The panel body is positioned and attached to the external cabinet 6 so that the display screen of the panel body is exposed at the opening. For example, the front side of the external cabinet 6 is lacking, and a transparent member such as glass is fitted into the lacking part to protect the display screen 4a of the panel body.

  Therefore, in the display panel 4 main body, the display screen 4a is protected by the glass surface by covering the front side of the external cabinet 6 with a glass surface such as transparent glass.

  A frame 8 according to the present invention is fixed to the display screen side of the display panel 4. As an example, the frame body 8 is formed so as to penetrate the area corresponding to the display screen 4a and is provided so as to cover the periphery of the display screen 4a. Alternatively, the frame 8 may be formed of a member that is entirely formed of a single body and a portion corresponding to the display screen 4a can transmit light.

  The frame 8 can be made of a glass plate or the like, but may be made of a plastic resin such as acrylic or polycarbonate. The frame 8 is configured to cover the periphery of the display screen 4a of the display panel 4 body. And the extension part 9 is extended in the form integrally formed by the frame 8 so that the lower part side of the display panel 4 may extend to the floor or the mounting base 2 side.

  Usually, according to the conventional display device, the extending portion 9 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 does not exist. Therefore, the lower part of the display panel 4 is in a state in which the support columns 5, the lead wires 7 and the like are visible.

  The extending portion 9 in the present invention is configured to have a shielding structure for blinding at least the area below the display panel 4. Therefore, the frame body 8 other than the extending portion 9 may be transparent or opaque. From the viewpoint of appearance and manufacturing, if the frame body 8 is integrally formed with the same member as the extending portion 9, the manufacturing cost and the like are reduced, and the assembly and the like are facilitated.

  Further, the extending portion 9 at the lower portion of the frame body 8 has a lower end extending to the vicinity of the pedestal 3, and is extended to a state of approaching the floor or the mounting table 2 surface. Furthermore, the extension part 9 has a resin film that reflects light that cannot be visually observed on the back side attached as a reflective material. The reflecting material that reflects the light is provided in the extending portion 9 so that the portion has a mirror structure. With this configuration, the surface of the mounting table 2 on the front side or the floor surface is reflected in the extended portion 9. In addition, a semicircular portion that is the front surface portion 3A of the pedestal 3 is reflected and appears as if it is a circular or elliptical pedestal. Therefore, the large rectangular portion of the rear portion 3B of the pedestal 3 is hidden by the extending portion 9, and the pedestal 3 for support can be seen in a circular (or elliptical) state.

  In addition, since the support column 5 that supports the display panel 4 is hidden by the extending portion 9, the presence of the support column 5 portion cannot be visually recognized, and the entire display device 1 seems to be supported in a state of floating on the pedestal 3. Looks like. Accordingly, the display device 1 main body is not recognized as being supported by the support column 5 that directly supports the display panel 4, and seems to be floating on the mounting surface, for example, the floor or the mounting table 2. And appears to float on a circular (or oval) pedestal 3.

  Further, when the viewing direction is changed, the shape of the pedestal 3 changes, and the display device 1 is visually recognized while floating on the pedestal 3 in the changing scene. Therefore, even if the display device 1 has a large screen and the entire display device including the extending portion 9 becomes large, the feeling of pressure can be relieved and the effect of greatly reducing the feeling of pressure can be expected. In addition, since the floor or the mounting table 2 is reflected on the extending portion 9, it seems that there is a further space on the back side of the display device 1, and the feeling of spaciousness can be felt.

  Therefore, the entire room may feel wide. Moreover, even if the display device 1 having a large screen is placed at an arbitrary position in the room, the screen can be visually observed without any sense of incongruity. Moreover, even if the screen is not displayed, the display device 1 can be clearly seen, and by viewing the floating state, it can be enjoyed as a room decoration, and a decoration effect and an interior effect can be expected. For this reason, not only the utility value as a display function but also other functions and functions as interior and decoration of the room are obtained.

  As mentioned above, about the area | region of the extension part 9, a back surface cannot be visually recognized from the part, but it becomes a shielded form. Therefore, even if the frame 8 including the extending portion 9 is formed of a transparent member, the extending portion 9 can also function as a shielding member by providing a reflective material on the extending portion 9 as described above. It will also bear.

  Further, since the back side of the display device 1 cannot be seen, even if the power cord connected to the display device 1 main body, various lead wires 7 and the like are complicated, the state cannot be visually recognized at all, and it is not felt. Moreover, even if the wall surface of the back room is dirty, it can be hidden by the display device 1.

  In addition, the display screen 4a of the display panel 4 shows the situation of the aquarium, underwater, forest, waterfall, etc., so that the wall on the back is hidden. You can create the feeling of migrating, enjoy a spacious space, and enjoy a sense of freedom.

  Here, the extended portion 9 which is the lower shielding area which is the frame body 8 is configured to be at least a reflective surface state, but the upper and lower portions and both sides of the display panel 4 are also similarly reflected. You may make it comprise in a surface state.

(Pedestal shape)
According to the embodiment described above, the front part (display screen side) 3A is semicircular and the rear part (rear face of the display screen) for the pedestal 3 for mounting the display device 1 on the floor or the mounting table 2 Side) Although 3B is made into the rectangular shape, it is not restricted to this. In other words, the shape of the front surface portion 3A may be any shape, and the portion located in front of the extending portion 9 may be one or more, and those shapes may be formed into any shape in consideration of design and the like. That's fine.

  If a plurality of front surface portions 3A of the pedestal 3 positioned in front of the extending portion 9 are formed, the entire surface of the display device 1 is floated on the plurality of pedestals 3 by being projected on the extending portion 9. It will also be seen, giving a different feeling. Therefore, by devising the shape and the like, the values used as decorations and interiors can be changed.

  Further, the size of the rear portion 3B of the pedestal 3 is determined according to the size of the screen for the purpose of supporting the display device 1 stably. If possible, the size of the display device 1 may be within a width of the display device 1 in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction). Further, the shape may be not only a rectangle but also an ellipse, a semicircle, a circle, or other shapes.

  Further, the external cabinet 6 of the display panel 4 may be directly attached to the pedestal 3 or the like without the support (support member) 5 for supporting the display panel 4 main body provided on the pedestal 3. In such a case, it is only necessary to hide the portion where the external cabinet 6 is directly attached to the pedestal 3 with the extending portion 9.

  As described above, by forming the pedestal 3 in an arbitrary shape or a plurality of shapes, the floating state of the display device 1 can be enjoyed with any shape and number of pedestals, and an arbitrary effect can be achieved.

  In addition, in this invention, the front surface part 3A of the base 3 demonstrated the form located in the front side rather than the extension part 9. FIG. Not limited to this, it is needless to say that the entire base 3 may be formed so as to be located behind the extending portion 9.

  That is, the column 5 including the base 3 is also hidden by the extending portion 9. If comprised in this way, presence of the base 3 cannot also be visually observed but the floor or the mounting surface of the mounting base 2 will reflect directly in the extended part 9. FIG. As a result, the main body of the display device 1 is viewed in a floating state on the floor or the mounting table 2 without the structure to be supported being viewed. Therefore, an illusionary production in which the main body of the display device 1 is floating can be expected, and the utility value as a decorative item or an interior item is also increased.

  Furthermore, as described above, the placement surface such as the floor is projected, so that the spread of the floor surface and the like from the display device 1 to the back side can be recognized, the entire room and the space can be expanded, and a sense of openness can be produced. It will also give.

(Structure of the extension)
The extending portion 9 is formed at the lower portion of the display portion (display panel) 4 so that the lower end edge thereof extends to the floor or the mounting table 2 surface side. In particular, when a part of the pedestal 3 protrudes to the front side from the extending part, the lower end edge of the extending part 9 is extended so as to be close to the surface of the pedestal 3. In addition, when the pedestal 3 is located entirely behind the extending portion 9, the end edge (end surface) of the extending portion 9 extends so as to be close to the floor or the mounting table 2 surface.

  Here, although it has been described that the extending portion 9 is configured to be provided with a reflective material so that the rear side cannot be seen through, the extending portion 9 itself may be configured with a reflective material. As the reflecting material, a mirror itself may be used, and it is provided at the lower portion of the display panel 4 as the extended portion 9.

  Further, a metal film or the like may be formed on the surface (display screen side) or back surface (back side of the display screen) of the extended portion 9 by vapor deposition or plating. When a metal film is formed on the surface side of the extended portion 9, the extended portion 9 itself may be formed of a transparent member or a non-transparent member. However, when a metal film is formed on the back side of the extended portion 9, the extended portion 9 is made of a transparent member. That is, in the case where the reflective material is provided on the front surface side or the back surface (back surface) side of the extended portion 9, the member constituting the extended portion 9 may be selected as described above.

  Moreover, you may affix a highly reflective member, for example, a highly reflective resin film, as a reflecting material on the surface or back surface of the extension part 9. FIG. As this highly reflective resin film, it is possible to use, for example, Picasasu (trade name) sold by Toray Industries, Inc. as a metallic glossy and easily molded film. Moreover, not only this but a highly reflective resin film can also be affixed.

  In addition, when the thing with thickness is utilized as the extension part 9, when the metal film which is a reflecting material is vapor-deposited, plated, painted, etc. on the back, the shadow of a thickness direction may be reflected. In such a case, a reflective material such as a metal film is provided on the front surface (surface) of the extending portion 9. Thereby, the influence by the thickness direction can be eliminated. This also applies to the case where the above-described highly reflective resin film is pasted.

  Note that the extension portion 9 itself can be made of metal and the surface thereof can be mirror-finished in the same manner.

  According to the previous embodiment, the extending portion 9 has been described as a structure formed integrally with the frame body 8. However, as a matter of course, it may be configured not to be integrated with the frame body 8 but to extend only the extending portion 9 directly under the display panel 4.

  Further, the lower part on the display screen 4a side of the external cabinet 6 constituting the display panel 4 is configured to extend to the pedestal 3 side. It can be similarly implemented by providing a reflective material in the extended portion of the external cabinet 6. In this way, it is not necessary to provide the frame body 8.

(Another embodiment according to the present invention)
As described above, by providing the extending portion 9 according to the present invention, the display device 1 placed on the placing table 2 is floated on the pedestal 3 or the placing table 2 without the support state being visually recognized. It is visually observed.

  In view of this, there has been described a configuration in which nothing exists on the back side of the extended portion 9 except for the support column 5 and the lead wire 7. A member related to the display device 1 can be provided on the back side of the extended portion 9.

  When the display device 1 is a TV receiver, an audio output means, for example, a speaker can be provided in the extending portion 9. Even when it is used as a display of a game machine or a personal computer instead of the receiver, means for outputting sound can be provided in the extending portion. By attaching this speaker to the back surface (back surface) of the extended portion 9, it cannot be viewed from the front surface (display surface side), and its presence cannot be confirmed and visually confirmed by the user.

  For this reason, the user cannot visually recognize the presence of the speaker, and is very interested in the sense that sound is heard from a non-existent part (an area where the placement surface is projected). It also becomes.

  Further, since it is not necessary to provide the speaker itself on the display panel 4 side of the display device 1, the original speaker arrangement space on the display panel 4 side can be utilized for other purposes. It is also possible to create a factor that can make the display device 1 more compact or thinner by deleting the space. In this way, not only the speaker as the sound output means but also a driving circuit (including an amplifier) for driving the speaker can be provided in the extending portion 9.

  Furthermore, in the case of using not only the speaker but also a TV or a game machine, a receiving device for remote control can be provided in the extending portion 9.

Embodiments of the display device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the display device 1 described in FIG. 1 is directly placed on the floor 10. A liquid crystal panel was used as the FPD constituting the display device 1. The main body of the display device 1 has a width (horizontal width) of 1123.5 mm, a height of 708.8 mm including the extending portion 9, a size of the display screen 4a, a width of 1030.0 mm, and a height of 576.0 mm. Further, the display device 1 in which the diameter of the semicircular portion of the front surface portion 3A of the base 3 was 285.0 mm was manufactured.

  On the extended portion 9, a resin film of PIKASUSU (trade name) sold by Toray Industries, Inc. as a metallic glossy / easy-molding film was attached to the surface side.

  FIG. 4 shows a state where the display device 1 configured as described above is placed on the floor 10.
