(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, if the display surface of an image display device is set at a fixed angle, the angle at which the display surface is viewed varies widely depending on the body shape of the person using the device. In many cases, the screen was difficult to see, and the displayed information could be mistakenly read, and the distortion of the image and the reflection of external light caused eye fatigue. Furthermore, when using a touch panel, if the angle at which the display surface is viewed is oblique, parallax may occur, leading to problems such as erroneous input or making touch operations feel strange.
