The problem arises that the image becomes unsightly as it shines white. or,
As shown in the figure, when there is a strong light source such as the sun from behind the user (photographer), the outer peripheral surface 26a
The white reflection will appear as a white band on the display surface of the liquid crystal display 32, making the display very difficult to read if the contrast is weak in a light-receiving display such as a liquid crystal.

In order to prevent reflections on the outer circumferential surface 26a of the display window member 26, it has been proposed that the outer circumferential surface 26a be painted black. It is difficult to perform smear painting, and in reality, it has to be done manually using a brush, which is difficult to implement due to cost issues and yield issues. Also,
Even if the above-mentioned smear painting is performed, it is necessary to form a film in such a way that light is absorbed by the smudges, and it can be said that there are quite a number of restrictions on the implementation of this proposal.

FIG. 3 shows a display device as an embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the conventional structure described above, this display device is also arranged at the exterior cover of the camera in order to display camera information. A display window member 46 made of transparent acrylic resin or the like is fitted and adhered from the back side of the camera exterior cover 40. That is, the camera exterior cover 40 is formed with an inclined hole 42 and a large hole 44, and the display window member 46 is also formed with an outer peripheral surface 46a that coincides with the inclined hole 42 and a peripheral protrusion 48 for adhesion. Note that 50 is a low-reflectance black masking print attached to the periphery of the back surface of the display window member 46, and 52 is a liquid crystal display disposed inside.

That is, the feature of the present invention is that the outer circumferential surface 46a is formed at an obtuse angle θ with the display plane of the display window member 46 as a reference plane.
The light directly reflected by the liquid crystal display 6a and the light once reflected from the display surface of the liquid crystal display 52 and reaching the outer peripheral surface 46 are not reflected in the eyes of the user (photographer). The method of determining the inclination angle θ here should be determined in relation to the effective viewing angle θ 1 of the present display device.
That is, if the refractive index of the material of the display window member with respect to air is n, then for the effective viewing angle θ 1 of the display,
Inclination angle θ defined by nsinθ 2 = sinθ 12 = θ−90°)
It is sufficient to form an inclination of (θ 2 +90°) or more on the outer circumferential surface 46a of the display window member 46. To explain specifically, the effective viewing angle of the normal liquid crystal display 52 is
Approximately 45 degrees is practically sufficient, and since the display window member 46 is made of acrylic resin in the embodiment, assuming that the refractive index n≈1.5, the inclination angle θ can be determined by the following equation.

θ2≒28.5゜となり、θ=(θ2+90゜)なので、∴
θ≒118.5゜となる。
Since θ 2 ≒28.5° and θ = (θ 2 +90°), ∴
θ≒118.5°.

したがつて、実施例での傾角θは約118.5゜以上

Therefore, the effects of the present invention can be obtained by setting the inclination angle θ in the embodiment to approximately 118.5° or more. Note that if the inclination angle θ is formed to this extent, the inclined hole 42 of the camera exterior cover 40 and the outer circumferential surface 46a of the display window member 46 will not have sharp edges or inclined surfaces, so it is easy to avoid manufacturing problems. be understood.

Furthermore, even if the inclination angle θ is set to a value smaller than the calculated value above, the width of the light that appears white due to the reflection of harmful light is extremely narrow compared to the conventional structure shown in Figure 2. This is a huge improvement.

Note that by providing the obtuse inclination angle θ on the outer circumferential surface 46a of the display window member 46, the internal field of view becomes wider than the outside aperture field of view, but this does not pose any problem because the field of view is properly regulated by the masking printing 50. does not occur.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a display window member 46 is fitted and adhered to the camera exterior cover 40 through a black frame 60 to create contrast in color around the outer periphery of the display surface. It is. This embodiment has almost the same structure as the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 above except for the frame 60, and the effects of the present invention are also the same, so the same reference numerals will be used and detailed explanation will be omitted.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the frame 60 does not need to be formed as a separate body, and the same effect can be achieved by forming it in two colors on the camera exterior cover or by hot stamping.

Note that the inclined surface formed on the outer circumferential surface 46a of the display window member 46 in the two embodiments described above is as follows.
It does not need to be formed around the entire circumference, but in the case of a camera where the user (photographer) holds the camera, it is necessary to form it around the user's eye position when the display device is placed. Accordingly, only a specific surface needs to be formed.

As explained above, the present invention does not require smearing on the outer peripheral surface of the display window member as in conventional structures.
To provide a structure of a display device for an optical device such as a camera, which is suitable for mass production at extremely low cost and eliminates the difficulty of viewing the display due to the reflection of harmful light by simply forming the outer peripheral surface at an obtuse angle. Can be done.
