Description

  The present invention relates to a display device and a cover that covers the surface of a display panel of the display device.

  Conventionally, a liquid crystal display device has been proposed in which a translucent cover is disposed for each liquid crystal display panel disposed in parallel (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The translucent cover is disposed in parallel on the viewer side of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel has a display area and a frame area. Moreover, the lens part is provided in the edge part of the said translucent cover. The lens unit is disposed across the boundary between the display area and the frame area of the liquid crystal display panel.

  As described above, when the lens unit is arranged, the image of the display unit in the vicinity of the edge of the liquid crystal display panel is shifted to the front of the frame region by the action of the lens unit. The shifted image covers the frame area and makes it difficult to see the frame area. Therefore, according to the liquid crystal display device, it is possible to prevent the frame area which is seen as the seam of the image from being visually recognized from the outside when the liquid crystal display panel is tiled.

  In addition, a mobile display device is configured to move a first display panel having a first display screen and a second display panel having a second display screen to form a large display screen by the first display screen and the second display screen. It is proposed by the inventor (see, for example, Patent Document 2). When the translucent cover is provided on the first display panel and the second display panel of the mobile display device, when the large display screen is formed, the joints of the first display panel and the second display panel are formed. It is not necessary to display the frame area.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the plate-like portions 18 and 19 are respectively constituted by flat portions 180 and 190 and inclined surface portions 185 and 195. The flat portions 180 and 190 are substantially square plates. The flat portions 180 and 190 may have other shapes as long as they are flat.

  The inclined surface portions 185 and 195 are elongated members of a substantially triangular prism. The cross-sectional shape of the substantially triangular prism that constitutes the inclined surface portions 185 and 195 is a substantially right triangle that is partially composed of a curve. The length in the longitudinal direction of the inclined surface portions 185 and 195 is the same as the sides 180 a and 190 a of the flat portions 180 and 190. The flat portions 180 and 190 and the inclined surface portions 185 and 195 are connected at one side 180 a and 190 a respectively.

  The inclined surface portions 185 and 195 have cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192, respectively. The cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 are side surfaces corresponding to the oblique side of the cross section of the substantially right triangle among the side surfaces of the substantially triangular prisms constituting the inclined surface portions 185 and 195.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the cover sloped surfaces 182 and 192 configured as described above are each a plane starting from the outer edge 180b and 190b of the plane 180c and 190c on one side of the plane portion 180 and 190, respectively. It is an inclined surface which inclines in the thickness direction of the flat section 180, 190 and the side from the in-plane to the out-of-plane side of the flat section 180, 190 in the surface direction of the sections 180, 190.

  When viewed as the plate-like portions 18 and 19 as a whole, the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 are extended along the outer edges 181 and 191 of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 as shown in FIG. , The outer edge 181, 191 is formed in a predetermined region of the plate-like portions 18, 19 having a predetermined width D.

  In addition, the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 are formed by curved surfaces that are convex to the side away from the surface in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192. That is, the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 constitute a convex lens. On the other hand, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 opposite to the side on which the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 are formed are flat. Therefore, the inclined surface portions 185 and 195 constitute a plano-convex lens.

  Note that as shown in FIG. 1A, an inclined surface having a cover inclined surface may be provided on the sides 180d and 190d opposite to the sides 180a and 190a of the flat portions 180 and 190, respectively. Moreover, the aspect by which the inclined surface part which has a cover body inclined surface may be provided also in the other side of the plane part 180,190 may be sufficient. Furthermore, a sloped surface portion having a cover body sloped surface may be provided over the entire side of each of the flat portions 180 and 190, or a sloped surface portion having a cover body sloped surface may be provided on at least a part of the side.

<Placement of plate-like part>
Next, the arrangement of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 when the display panels 11 and 12 are arranged in parallel will be described with reference to FIG. In the following, the plate-like portions including the plate-like portions 18 and 19 and the surface of the display panel including the display panels 11 and 12 facing the viewer 900 are the surface of the plate-like portion and the display panel It defines and the opposite side is defined as a plate-like part and the back of a display panel. The surface of the display panel corresponds to the surface of the display screen.

<Arrangement of plate-like portion 18>
The plate-like portion 18 is disposed on the viewer 900 side of the display panel 11 as shown in FIG. 2 (a). The outer edge 181 of the plate-like portion 18 is disposed closer to the non-display portion 15 than the outer edge 131 of the display portion 13 of the display panel 11 as viewed in the direction perpendicular to the surface 11 a of the display panel 11.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the outer edge 181 of the plate-like portion 18 is disposed closer to the display panel 12 than the outer edge 151 of the non-display portion 15 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 11 a of the display panel 11. , Or may be disposed closer to the display panel 11 than the outer edge 151 of the non-display section 15.

  Further, the plate-like portion 18 is disposed such that the cover body inclined surface 182 faces the observer 900 of the display panel 11. That is, the plate-like portion 18 is a side where the cover body inclined surface 182 is directed from the display panel 11 to the display panel 12 in the surface direction of the surface 11 a of the display panel 11 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 11 a of the display panel 11 The display panel 11 is disposed so as to be inclined from the front surface 11 a to the back surface 11 b in the direction perpendicular to the surface 11 a of the display panel 11. Thus, the plate-like portion 18 is disposed such that the convex lens portion of the plate-like portion 18 faces the observer 900.

  Further, in FIG. 2A, the cover body inclined surface 182 extends from the display unit 13 toward the non-display unit 15 so as to cross the outer edge 131 of the display unit 13 of the display panel 11. In addition, as shown to FIG. 2B, when the whole cover body inclined surface 182 is arrange | positioned rather than the outer edge 131 of the display part 13 of the display panel 11 by the non-display part 15 side, it is also included in the scope of this invention.

<Arrangement of Plate-like Portion 19>
The plate-like part 19 is arrange | positioned at the observer 900 side of the display panel 12, as shown to Fig.2 (a). The outer edge 191 of the plate-like portion 19 is disposed closer to the non-display portion 16 side than the outer edge 141 of the display portion 14 of the display panel 12 when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12 a of the display panel 12.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the outer edge 191 of the plate-like portion 19 is disposed closer to the display panel 11 than the outer edge 161 of the non-display portion 16 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 12a of the display panel 12. , And may be disposed closer to the display panel 12 than the outer edge 161 of the non-display section 16.

  The plate-like portion 19 is disposed such that the cover body inclined surface 192 faces the display panel 12. That is, the plate-like portion 19 is a side where the cover inclined surface 192 is directed from the display panel 12 to the display panel 11 in the surface direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 The display panel 12 is disposed so as to be inclined from the back surface 12b in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12a of the display panel 12 toward the surface 12a. Thus, the plate-like portion 19 is disposed such that the convex lens portion of the plate-like portion 19 faces the display panel 12.

  Further, in FIG. 2A, the cover sloped surface 192 extends from the display unit 14 toward the non-display unit 16 so as to cross the outer edge 141 of the display unit 14 of the display panel 12. In addition, as shown to FIG. 2B, when the whole cover body inclined surface 192 is arrange | positioned rather than the outer edge 141 of the display part 14 of the display panel 12 by the non-display part 16 side, it is also included in the scope of the present invention.

<Arrangement of plate-like parts 18 and 19>
As shown in FIG. 2A, when the plate-like parts 18 and 19 are disposed as described above with respect to the display panels 11 and 12, the image in the vicinity of the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display parts 13 and 14 is a convex lens. It is seen by the observer 900 as if it is shifted to the non-display portions 15 and 16 side (refer to the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2A) by the action of the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192. If the image in the vicinity of the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display units 13 and 14 is shifted so that the image perpendicular to the surface of the non-display units 15 and 16 is displayed, the non-display units 15 and 16 Since the image is covered by the image in the vicinity of the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display units 13 and 14, the non-display units 15 and 16 can be made difficult to see.

  Further, the flat surface 180c on one side of the flat surface portion 180 and the flat surface 190e on the other side of the flat surface portion 190 are disposed on the same plane. This is because the flat portions 180 and 190 have the same thickness. As a result, when viewed from the observer 900, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 appear to constitute the same plane.

  Moreover, the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 arrange | positioned as mentioned above mutually oppose. Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the plate-like portions 18 and 19 overlap with each other when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11a and 12a of the display panels 11 and 12, respectively. The area 100 in which the plate-like portions 18 and 19 overlap with each other when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surfaces 11a and 12a of the display panels 11 and 12 is referred to as an overlapping area 100, and this term will be used similarly in the following.

  In the overlapping region 100, a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 and a part of the cover body inclined surface 192 overlap. When all of the cover sloped surface 182 and all of the cover sloped surface 192 overlap in the overlapping region 100, the cover slopes when a portion of the cover sloped surface 182 and all of the cover sloped surface 192 overlap. The present invention also includes the case where all of the surface 182 overlaps with a part of the cover sloped surface 192.

  Moreover, as shown to Fig.2 (a), it is preferable that the plate-like parts 18 and 19 are arrange | positioned so that the cover body inclined surface 182 and the cover body inclined surface 192 may not contact in the overlap area | region 100. FIG. That is, it is preferable that the plate-like portions 18 and 19 be disposed so as to have a gap in the surface direction and thickness direction of the plate-like portions 18 and 19. When the plate-like portions 18 and 19 are brought into contact with each other, the cover body inclined surface 182 and the cover body inclined surface 192 may be damaged.

  Further, it is preferable that the tips forming the outer edges 181 and 191 of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 be formed to be rounded. That is, it is preferable that the tips of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 be formed by curved surfaces. In the overlapping region 100, when the point (outer edge 191) of the plate-like portion 19 disposed on the side of the observer 900 is rounded, the observer 900 may get injured even if the observer 900 touches the joint portion of the plate-like portions 18 and 19. The risk of doing so is low. On the other hand, even if the observer 900 tries to touch the projecting end (outer edge 181) of the plate-like portion 18 disposed on the display panel 11, 12 side in the overlapping region 100, the projecting end of the plate-like portion 19 can not touch it. For this reason, the tip (outer edge 181) of the plate-like portion 18 may or may not be rounded.

  The above is applicable not only to the present embodiment but also to the other embodiments described below. That is, also in the other embodiment, in the overlapping region, it is preferable that the tip or corner of the plate-like portion disposed on the viewer 900 side is not sharp but rounded (formed with a curved surface). This is because the risk of injury is reduced even if the observer 900 touches the joint between the plate-like portions.

  The curved shape of the cover inclined surfaces 182 and 192 is a display in which the image of the joint portion of the display panels 11 and 12 is deformed strangely when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surfaces 11a and 12a. It is preferable that the That is, the shape of the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 as a lens is formed such that the images of the joint portions of the display panels 11 and 12 are seamlessly connected.

  If the overlapping area 100 is provided, no gap is formed between the plate-like portions 18 and 19 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the display panels 11 and 12. Thus, it is possible to realize the display device 1 in which no gap is formed at the joint of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the display panels 11 and 12. Furthermore, since the cover body inclined surface having a lens function is disposed at the joint portion of the plate-like portions 18 and 19, the non-display portions 15 and 16 of the display panels 11 and 12 can not be seen easily by the observer 900. The images near the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display portions 13 and 14 of the display panels 11 and 12 can be connected seamlessly and displayed to the observer 900.

Second Embodiment
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device in the second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device and the display device 1 in the second embodiment of the present invention is a plate-like portion. The plate-shaped part 20 in the 2nd Embodiment of this invention which is a difference below is demonstrated.

<Shape of plate-like part>
First, the plate-like portion 20 will be described with reference to FIG. Although the plate-like part 20 is the structure substantially the same as the plate-like parts 18 and 19, the difference between both is the aspect of a cover body inclined surface. Hereinafter, the shape of the cover body inclined surface which is the difference between the plate-like portion 20 and the plate-like portions 18 and 19 will be described.

  The plate-like part 20 is comprised by the plane part 200 and the inclined surface part 202, as shown to Fig.3 (a). The flat portion 200 is a substantially rectangular plate. In addition, as long as the plane part 200 is formed in planar shape, it may be another shape.

  The inclined surface portion 202 is an elongated member of a substantially triangular prism. The cross-sectional shape of the triangular prism that constitutes the inclined surface portion 202 is a substantially isosceles triangle in which a part is formed by a curve and the tip 202a of the apex portion is rounded. Further, the length in the length direction of the inclined surface portion 202 is the same as the side 200 a of the flat portion 200. The flat portion 200 and the inclined surface portion 202 are respectively coupled at the side 200 a.

  And the inclined surface part 202 has the cover body inclined surface 203,204. The cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 are two side surfaces corresponding to the equilateral side of the cross section of the substantially isosceles triangle among the three side surfaces of the substantially triangular prism which constitutes the inclined surface portion 202.

  The cover body inclined surface 203 configured as described above starts from the outer edge 200 b of the flat surface 20 a on one side of the flat portion 200 as a starting point from the in-plane surface direction of the flat portion 200 to the outer surface, and the flat portion 200. The inclined surface is inclined toward the inner side in the thickness direction (the side from the flat surface 20a in the thickness direction of the flat portion 200 toward the central surface C1). The cover inclined surface 204 is a side from the in-plane direction of the flat portion 200 toward the outside of the flat portion 200 from the outer edge 200 c of the flat surface 20 b on the other side of the flat portion 200 and the thickness direction inner side of the flat portion 200 (flat portion It becomes an inclined surface which inclines from the flat surface 20b of 200 thickness directions to the central surface C1 side).

  When the plate-like portion 20 is viewed as a whole, the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 are the outer edge of the plate-like portion 20 in the same manner as the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 shown in FIG. It is formed in a predetermined area of the plate-like portion 20 which extends along the line 201 and has a predetermined width E from the outer edge 201.

  Further, the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 are formed by curved surfaces which are convex to the side away from the surface in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204. That is, the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 respectively constitute a convex lens. Therefore, the inclined surface 202 constitutes a biconvex lens.

<Placement of plate-like part>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 3B and 3C, the arrangement of the plate-like portions 18 and 20 when the display panels 11 and 12 are arranged in parallel will be described. In addition, since the arrangement | positioning with respect to the display panel 11 of the plate-shaped part 18 is the same as the arrangement | positioning demonstrated above, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The plate-like portion 20 is disposed on the surface 12 a of the display panel 12. The outer edge 201 of the plate-like portion 20 is disposed closer to the non-display portion 16 side than the outer edge 141 of the display portion 14 of the display panel 12 when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12 a of the display panel 12. The outer edge 201 of the plate-like portion 20 may be disposed closer to the display panel 11 than the outer edge 161 of the non-display portion 16 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12. It may be disposed closer to the display panel 12 than the outer edge 161 of the.

  In addition, the plate-like portion 20 is disposed so that the cover body inclined surface 203 faces the viewer 900 of the display panel 12 and the cover body inclined surface 204 faces the display panel 12. That is, the plate-like portion 20 is a side where the cover inclined surface 203 is directed from the display panel 12 to the display panel 11 in the surface direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 The display panel 12 is disposed so as to be inclined from the front surface 12 a to the back surface 12 b in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12 a of the display panel 12.

  At this time, as viewed from the viewer 900 side in the surface perpendicular direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12, the cover body inclined surface 204 is a side facing the display panel 11 from the display panel 12 in the surface direction of the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 And, the display panel 12 is disposed so as to be inclined from the back surface 12 b in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12 a of the display panel 12 toward the surface 12 a. Thus, the plate-like portion 20 is arranged such that one convex lens portion of the plate-like portion 20 faces the viewer 900 and the other convex lens portion faces the display panel 12.

  Further, in FIG. 3B, the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 extend from the display unit 14 toward the non-display unit 16 so as to cross the outer edge 141 of the display unit 14 of the display panel 12. The case where the entire cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 are disposed closer to the non-display portion 16 than the outer edge 141 of the display portion 14 of the display panel 11 is included in the scope of the present invention.

  If the plate-like parts 18 and 20 are arranged as described above with respect to the display panels 11 and 12, the image near the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display parts 13 and 14 becomes non-display parts 15 and 16 by the action of the lens. It appears to the observer 900 as shifted to the side. If the image in the vicinity of the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display units 13 and 14 is shifted so that the image perpendicular to the surface of the non-display units 15 and 16 is displayed, the non-display units 15 and 16 Since the image is covered by the image in the vicinity of the outer edges 131 and 141 of the display units 13 and 14, the non-display units 15 and 16 can be made difficult to see.

  Further, the flat surface 20a on one side of the flat surface portion 200 and the flat surface 180c on one side of the flat surface portion 180 are disposed on the same plane. This is because the flat portions 180 and 200 have the same thickness. As a result, when viewed from the observer 900, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 20 appear to constitute the same plane.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the plate-like portions 18 and 20 overlap as viewed from the viewer 900 in the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11a and 12a of the display panels 11 and 12, respectively. Therefore, the plate-like portions 18 and 20 have overlapping regions 205. In the overlapping region 205, a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 and a part of the cover body inclined surface 203 overlap.

  When all of the cover body inclined surface 182 and all of at least one of the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 overlap in the overlapping region 205, a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 and at least one of the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 When the whole of the cover body inclined surface 182 overlaps with a part of at least one of the cover body inclined surfaces 203 and 204 when the whole of the cover body overlaps with the whole of the present invention is also included in the present invention.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the cover inclined surface 182 is constituted by the overlapping surface 182a and the non-overlapping surface 182b. The overlapping surface 182a is a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 disposed in the overlapping region 205, and is a surface overlapping with the plate-like portion 20 when viewed from the surface perpendicular direction of the surfaces 11a and 12a of the display panels 11 and 12. The non-overlapping surface 182 b is a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 not disposed in the overlapping region 205.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the recess 208 is formed by the non-overlapping surface 182 b and the cover body inclined surface 203. The recess 208 is formed at the joint of the plate-like portions 18 and 20. When the depth of the concave portion 208 is too deep when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the display panels 11 and 12, the joint between the plate-like portions 18 and 20 is noticeable. For this reason, it is preferable to make the inclination of the non-overlapping surface 182b and the cover body inclined surface 203 gentle so that the depth of the recess 208 is as shallow as possible. The depth of the recess 208 is, for example, preferably 1/3 or less of the thickness of the flat portion 200, and particularly preferably 1/4 or 1/5 or less of the thickness of the flat portion 200. The same applies to the other embodiments.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the plate-like portions 18 and 20 are preferably disposed so that the cover body inclined surface 182 and the outer edge 201 do not contact in the overlapping region 205. That is, it is preferable that the plate-like portions 18 and 20 be disposed to have a gap in the surface direction and thickness direction of the plate-like portions 18 and 20. When the plate-like portions 18 and 20 are brought into contact with each other, the cover body inclined surface 182 and the cover body inclined surface 203 may be damaged.

  Note that the cover body inclined surface 182 and the outer edge 201 of the plate-like portion 20 may be disposed in contact with each other in the overlapping region 205. In this case, it is preferable that the plate-like portions 18 and 20 be fixed so that the plate-like portions 18 and 20 do not move by an external force, or the inclined surface portions 185 and 202 are formed of a material that is not easily damaged. Moreover, arranging so that the plate-like parts arranged in parallel abut each other is not limited to the present embodiment, and can be appropriately applied to the other embodiments described in the present specification.

  When the overlapping region 205 is provided, it is viewed that no gap is generated between the plate-like portions 18 and 20 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the display panels 11 and 12. This makes it possible to realize a display device in which no gap is formed at the joint between the plate-like portions 18 and 20 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the display panels 11 and 12.

Third Embodiment
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device in the third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device and the display device 1 in the third embodiment of the present invention is a plate-like portion. The plate-like parts 21 and 22 in the 3rd Embodiment of this invention which is a difference below are demonstrated.

<Shape of plate-like part>
The plate-like parts 21 and 22 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the plate-like portions 21 and 22 have flat portions 210 and 220 and inclined surface portions 212 and 222, respectively. The flat portions 210 and 220 are substantially square plates. The flat portions 210 and 220 may have other shapes as long as they are formed in a flat shape.

  The inclined surface portions 212 and 222 are elongated members of a substantially triangular prism. The triangles of the cross section of the inclined surface portions 212 and 222 are substantially equilateral triangles. In addition, the inclined surface portions 212 and 222 have the same length as the sides 210 a and 220 a of the plane portions 210 and 220. The flat portions 210 and 220 and the inclined surface portions 212 and 222 are integrally formed at the sides 210a and 220a, respectively.

  And the inclined surface part 212 has the cover body inclined surface 213,214. The cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214 are two side surfaces among three side surfaces of the substantially triangular prism which constitutes the inclined surface portion 212. Further, the outer edge 211 of the plate-like portion 21 which is a portion where the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214 are in contact with each other is deviated from the thickness direction center C2 of the plate-like portion 21 by a predetermined distance H1 toward the plane 21a on one side of the flat portion 210. It is formed in the new position.

  The cover body inclined surface 213 configured as described above is an inclined surface that is inclined to the outer edge 211 of the plate-like portion 21 starting from the outer edge 210 b of the flat surface 21 a on one side of the flat portion 210. In addition, the inclination direction is the same as that of the cover body inclined surface 203 of the plate-like part 20.

  The cover body inclined surface 214 is an inclined surface which is inclined from the outer edge 210 c of the flat surface 21 b on the other side of the flat surface portion 210 to the outer edge 211 of the plate-like portion 21. In addition, the inclination direction is the same as that of the cover body inclined surface 204 of the plate-like portion 20. For this reason, the cover body inclined surface 213 is more gently inclined than the cover body inclined surface 214.

  Moreover, the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214 are formed of a curved surface which is convex to the side away from the surface in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214. That is, the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214 respectively constitute a convex lens. Therefore, the inclined surface portion 212 has a biconvex lens near the outer edge 211 of itself.

  Further, the cover body inclined surfaces 223 and 224 of the plate-like portion 22 correspond to the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214 of the plate-like portion 21, respectively, and can be described similarly to the cover body inclined surfaces 213 and 214.

<Placement of plate-like part>
Next, with reference to FIG. 4C, the arrangement of the plate-like portions 21 and 22 when the display panels 11 and 12 are arranged in parallel will be described. The arrangement of the plate-like parts 21 and 22 with respect to the display panels 11 and 12 is the same as in the case of the plate-like parts 20 and has already been described, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  In order to form the overlapping region 207 by the plate-like portions 21 and 22, as shown in FIG. 4C, it is formed between the cover body inclined surface 214 of the plate-like portion 21 and the surface 11a of the display panel 11. In the overlapping region K, at least a part of the cover body inclined surfaces 223 and 224 of the plate-like portion 22 may be inserted. In other words, the cover inclined surfaces 213 and 214 of the plate 21 and the cover inclined surfaces 223 and 224 of the plate 22 are formed such that the outer edge 221 of the plate 22 can be disposed in the region K. There is a need.

  Further, the flat surface 21 a on one side of the flat surface portion 210 and the flat surface 22 a on one side of the flat surface portion 220 are disposed on the same plane. This is because the flat portions 210 and 220 have the same thickness. As a result, when viewed from the observer, the surfaces of the plate-like parts 21 and 22 appear to constitute the same plane.

Fourth Embodiment
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device in the fourth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device and the display device 1 in the fourth embodiment of the present invention is a plate-like portion. The plate-shaped part 23 in the 4th Embodiment of this invention which is a difference below is demonstrated.

<Shape and Arrangement of Plate-like Portion>
Next, the plate-like portion 23 will be described with reference to FIG. The plate-like portion 23 has a flat portion 230 and an inclined surface portion 232. The flat portion 230 is a substantially rectangular plate. The flat portion 230 may have any other shape as long as it is formed in a flat shape.

  The inclined surface portion 232 is an elongated member of a substantially square pillar whose cross section includes a curved line. The flat surface portion 230 and the inclined surface portion 232 are in an aspect in which they are joined at a predetermined side, similarly to the plate-like portions 18 to 22.

  And the inclined surface part 232 has the cover body inclined surface 233,234. The cover body inclined surfaces 233 and 234 are two side surfaces of a pillar which constitutes the inclined surface portion 232.

  The cover inclined surface 233 configured as described above starts from the outer edge 230 b of the flat surface 230 a on one side of the flat surface 230, and the flat surface 230 is a side from the in-plane surface direction of the flat surface 230. The inclined surface is inclined from the flat surface 230a on one side of the flat surface portion 230 in the thickness direction toward the flat surface 230c on the other side.

  Further, the cover inclined surface 234 is a flat surface in the thickness direction of the flat portion 230 from the in-plane direction of the flat portion 230 with the outer edge 230 d of the flat surface 230 c on the other side of the flat portion 230 as a starting point. It becomes an inclined surface which inclines from the plane 230c on the other side of the portion 230 toward the plane 230a on one side.

  The positions of the outer edge 230 b of the flat surface 230 a and the outer edge 230 d of the flat surface 230 c do not coincide with each other when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the flat surfaces 230 a and 230 c. In the display device according to the second and third embodiments of the present invention, the outer edges of the plane of the plane portion which is the starting point of the cover inclined surface coincide with each other when viewed from the plane perpendicular direction of the plane of the plane portion. It is different. Such cases are also included in the present invention. That is, as in the case of the sloped surface portion 232, a polygon whose cross section of the sloped surface portion is not triangular is also included in the present invention.

  The arrangement of the plate-like portion 23 may be arranged in accordance with the arrangement described for the plate-like portions 20 to 22. In this case, the overlapping portion 236 is formed by the plate-like portion 18 and the plate-like portion 23. Further, the flat surface 230a on one side of the flat surface portion 230 and the flat surface 180c on one side of the flat surface portion 180 are disposed on the same plane. This is because the flat portions 180 and 230 have the same thickness. As a result, when viewed from the observer, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 23 appear to constitute the same plane.

Fifth to Seventh Embodiments
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device in the fifth to seventh embodiments of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device and the display device 1 in the fifth to seventh embodiments of the present invention is a plate-like portion. The plate-like-part in 5th-7th embodiment of this invention which is a difference below is demonstrated.

<Shape and Arrangement of Plate-like Portion>
First, with reference to FIG. 6A, the plate-like portions 24 and 25 of the display device in the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The plate-like portions 24 and 25 are obtained by forming the cover body inclined surfaces 182 and 192 of the plate-like portions 18 and 19 into flat surfaces instead of curved surfaces. In this case, the inclined surface portions 245 and 255 constitute a prism.

  The angle α at the tip of the inclined surface 245 and the angle β at the tip of the inclined surface 255 are preferably in the range of 30 to 50 degrees, and more preferably in the range of 37 to 45 degrees. The present invention also includes such an inclined surface portion constituting a prism.

  Next, display devices according to the sixth and seventh embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c). Like the display device in the sixth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 (b), the display panels 11 and 12 having the plate-like parts 19 and 20 disposed therein are also included in the present invention. Further, the display apparatus according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6C, in which the plate-like parts 19 and 26 are disposed on the display panels 11 and 12, is also included in the present invention. The plate-like portion 26 is obtained by reversing the plate-like portion 23.

  Further, in the fifth to seventh embodiments of the present invention, since all flat portions have the same thickness, the surfaces of the adjacent flat portions viewed from the viewer 900 constitute the same plane. appear.

  Among the display devices in the first to seventh embodiments of the present invention described above, the display devices in the first, fifth, and seventh embodiments of the present invention are, for example, second, third, fourth, and sixth of the present invention. Since the height difference in the surface of the plate-like portion at the joint portion between the plate-like portions is small as compared with the display device in the embodiment, the seam portion of the plate-like portion is not noticeable when viewed from the observer 900.

  In addition, the cover body and display apparatus which consist of another plate-like part which combined each element in the cover body inclined surface of the plate-like parts 18-26 are also contained in this invention.

  In addition, as in the display devices according to the eighth and ninth embodiments of the present invention described below, any of the plate-like portions 18 to 26 and a plate-like portion including only a flat portion having no inclined surface portion Cover bodies arranged in parallel are also included in the present invention. Further, a display device in which the cover body is disposed on the display panels 11 and 12 is also included in the present invention. However, the plate-like parts need to be arranged in parallel so as to have overlapping regions in any combination.

Eighth Embodiment
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device in the eighth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device and the display device 1 in the eighth embodiment of the present invention is a plate-like portion. The plate-like portion 27 according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention, which is a difference in the following, will be described.

<Shape of plate-like part>
First, the plate-like portion 27 of the display device according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7 (a). The plate-like portion 27 is configured of an upper flat portion 271 and a lower flat portion 272. The upper flat surface portion 271 and the lower flat surface portion 272 are substantially rectangular plates having different sizes. The upper flat surface portion 271 and the lower flat surface portion 272 are stacked in a state in which the respective thickness directions face the same direction, and both are integrally formed. The upper flat portion 271 has a projecting portion 271a. The protrusion 271 a is a part of the upper flat portion 271 which protrudes in the surface direction of the lower flat portion 272 with respect to the outer edge 274 of the lower flat portion 272. As a result, the plate-like portion 27 is formed to have the step 275 at the outer edge.

<Placement of plate-like part>
Next, the arrangement of the plate-like portions 19 and 27 when the display panels 11 and 12 are arranged in parallel will be described with reference to FIG. 7A. The arrangement of the plate-like portion 18 with respect to the display panel 12 has already been described, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  When the plate-like portion 27 is disposed on the display panel 11, the plate-like portion 27 may be disposed so as to form an overlapping region 276 together with the plate-like portion 19 as shown in FIG. 7A. . In this case, at least a part of the cover body inclined surface 182 of the plate-like portion 18 is disposed in the region L formed by the flat surface 271 b on the lower flat surface 272 side of the protrusion 271 a and the surface 11 a of the display panel 11 .

  Further, the flat surface 271 c on one side of the flat portion 271 and the flat surface 180 c on one side of the flat portion 180 are disposed on the same plane. This is because the flat portion 180 and the plate-like portion 27 have the same thickness. As a result, when viewed from the observer 900, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 27 appear to constitute the same plane.

The ninth embodiment
<Display panel layout>
First, the arrangement of the display panels 11 and 12 according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7 (b). In the present embodiment, the arrangement of the display panels 11 and 12 is different from that of the display panel 1. In the present embodiment, the display panels 11 and 12 are not arranged such that the surfaces 11a and 12a are on the same plane. That is, in the present embodiment, the display panels 11 and 12 are disposed in parallel with being shifted in the thickness direction of the display panel.

<Shape and Arrangement of Plate-like Portion>
Next, the plate-like portion 28 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7 (b). The plate-like portion 28 of the present embodiment does not have an inclined surface portion, and the whole is formed of only a flat portion. That is, the plate-like portion 28 of the present embodiment is a substantially square plate.

  Next, the arrangement of the plate-like portions 18 and 28 when the display panels 11 and 12 are arranged as described above will be described. When the plate-like portion 28 is disposed on the surface 11 a of the display panel 11, the protruding portion 28 a is formed. The protrusion 28 a is a part of the plate-like portion 28 which protrudes from the outer edge of the display panel 11 in the surface direction of the surface 11 a of the display panel 11. As a result, a step is formed at the outer edge of the display panel 11 and the plate-like portion 28.

  In addition, when the plate-like portion 18 is disposed on the surface 12 a of the display panel 12, at least a portion of the cover body inclined surface 182 of the plate-like portion 18 is a flat surface on one side (the display panel 11 side) of the projecting portion 28 a. 28 c and the surface 12 a of the display panel 12. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7B, the overlapping portions 286 are formed by the plate-like portions 18 and 28.

  At this time, the flat surface 28 b on the other side (observer side) of the plate-like portion 28 and the flat surface 180 c on one side of the flat portion 180 are disposed on the same plane. As a result, when viewed from the observer 900, the surfaces of the plate-like portions 18 and 28 appear to constitute the same plane.

Tenth Embodiment
<Overall configuration>
The overall configuration of the display device 2 in the tenth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the display device 1. The difference between the display device 2 and the display device 1 in the tenth embodiment of the present invention is a display body. The display 30 which is the difference will be described below.

<Display body>
The display body 30 of the display device 2 according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The display apparatus 2 is provided with the display body 30 and the cover body 17 as shown to Fig.8 (a).

For example, a frame (bezel) is disposed in the non-display units 35 and 36.

  Further, the display units 33 and 34 have flat portions 332 and 342 and inclined surface portions 333 and 343, respectively. The flat portions 332 and 342 and the inclined surface portions 333 and 343 are coupled at one side 33 b and 34 b of the flat portions 332 and 342.

  The inclined surface portions 333 and 343 have display portion inclined surfaces 37 and 38, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. The display unit inclined surfaces 37 and 38 are respectively directed from the in-plane to the out-of-plane direction of the plane portions 332 and 342 (hereinafter referred to as the plane direction outer side) and the plane in the thickness direction of the plane portions 332 and 342 It inclines in the direction (Hereafter, it calls the thickness direction back side.) Which goes to the back sides 332c and 342c side from the surface 332a and 342a side of the parts 332 and 342. Hereinafter, the outer side in the surface direction of the flat portions 332 and 342 and the rear side in the thickness direction of the flat portions 332 and 342 will be referred to as the display portion inclining direction.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the display unit inclined surface 37 is inclined in the display unit inclined direction from the outer edge 332b of the flat surface 332 on the surface 332a side to the outer edge 332d of the flat surface 332 on the back surface 332c. The display unit inclined surface 38 is inclined in the display unit inclined direction from the outer edge 342 b of the flat surface 342 on the surface 342 a side to the outer edge 342 d of the flat surface 342 on the back surface 342 c side.

    As for inclination | tilt angle (theta) 1 of the outer edge 332d vicinity of the display part inclined surface 37 with respect to the surface 332a of the plane part 332, about 100 to 120 degree is preferable. Similarly, the inclination angle θ2 in the vicinity of the outer edge 342d of the display portion inclined surface 38 with respect to the surface 342a of the flat portion 342 is preferably approximately 100 to 120 degrees.

It is formed in a predetermined area of the display units 33 and 34 having a predetermined width F from 331 and 341.

  The display parts 33 and 34 as described above can be formed of, for example, an organic electroluminescence panel or a liquid crystal panel.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the non-display portions 35 and 36 are extended from the display portion inclined surfaces 37 and 38 to the rear side in the thickness direction of the flat portions 332 and 342. At this time, the non-display portions 35 and 36 may extend slightly outward in the plane direction from the outer edges 332 d and 342 d of the display portions 33 and 34. The slightly extended portions are non-display portion extending portions 35a and 36a shown in FIG. The present invention also includes the case where the non-display portion extending portions 35a and 36a are not provided.

<Placement of plate-like part>
