Description

Display device

The present disclosure relates to a display device including a display panel such as a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL panel, or a plasma panel that displays an image.

Conventionally, a liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel in which the radius of curvature of the display surface is fixed is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-086560 A

However, in the case of a display device in which the radius of curvature is fixed on the entire display surface, particularly on a large-sized screen, there is a problem that the viewer feels uncomfortable in the appearance of both ends.

The present disclosure has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a display device that can reduce discomfort in how the viewer sees both ends of a display device having a curved display surface.

In order to achieve the above object, a display device of the present disclosure includes a display panel having a rectangular display surface size of 20 inches or more, and (i) a predetermined direction of the display surface in the display surface of the display panel. A pair of first regions each having a width of 10% or more and 20% or less of the width in the predetermined direction of the display surface is a plane or a curved surface having a curvature radius of 10000 mm or more, and (Ii) The second region between the pair of first regions is a curved surface having a curvature radius of 5000 mm or less, which is curved in a concave shape.

(Knowledge that became the basis of the present invention)
The inventor has found that the following problems occur with respect to the liquid crystal display device described in the “Background Art” column.

In the liquid crystal display device as in Patent Document 1, since the display surface is curved in a concave shape so that the viewer's field of view is covered with the display surface of the display device, an image displayed on the display surface of the viewer is displayed. It is easy to get an immersive feeling.

However, the conventional liquid crystal display device has a problem that the regions at both ends of the display surface in the curved direction appear distorted and a problem that the regions at both ends appear to be in focus. That is, the viewer feels uncomfortable in the appearance in the regions at both ends of the display surface.

The former of the above two problems will be explained below. An image taken by a general camera is an image on the premise that the image is displayed on a display device having a flat display surface. That is, an image shot with a general camera is shot in a state optimized for a flat display surface. By the way, a display device with a curved display surface has a structure that is curved so as to be closer to the viewer side as the area on the display surface is shifted from the front of the viewer in a predetermined direction. That is, the display device has a structure in which the distance closer to the viewer increases as the area on the display screen is shifted in the predetermined direction from the front of the viewer. For this reason, when the video is displayed on a display device whose display surface is a curved surface, the viewer appears to be distorted as it approaches both ends of the display surface. In other words, the viewer does not look so distorted in front of the viewer on the display surface, but the image appears distorted in the regions at both ends of the viewer in the predetermined direction on the display surface.

The latter problem will be described below. When viewed on the entire display surface, the viewer focuses the eyes at the center of the display surface. On a flat display surface, the distance from the viewer is different between the center and both ends of the display surface. Therefore, when the display surface is a flat surface, the viewer tries to change the focal length of the eyes between the center of the display surface and both ends of the display surface. That is, when the viewer focuses the eyes on the center of the display surface, the eyes are not focused on the regions at both ends of the display surface. However, when the display surface is curved in a concave shape, the distance from the viewer to the center of the display surface is almost the same as the distance from the viewer to both ends of the panel. For this reason, the viewer can see the focused state at the center and both ends of the display surface without changing the focal length of the eyes. That is, even when the viewer focuses the eyes on the center of the display surface, the eyes are focused on both ends of the display surface.

From the above, the viewer feels uncomfortable in the appearance of the images displayed in the regions at both ends of the conventional liquid crystal display device.

The present disclosure has been made based on such knowledge, and as a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, in a display device having a curved display surface, a display that can reduce discomfort in the appearance of the display surface for the viewer I got an idea about the structure of the device.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate. However, more detailed description than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of already well-known matters and repeated descriptions for substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid the following description from becoming unnecessarily redundant and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

In addition, the inventor provides the accompanying drawings and the following description in order for those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims. .

Hereinafter, a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The bank is provided by forming a ridge extending in parallel with the gate wiring 107 and a ridge extending in parallel with the source wiring 108 so as to intersect each other. A subpixel having an RGB light emitting layer is formed in a portion surrounded by the protrusions, that is, an opening of the bank.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional structure of the RGB sub-pixel portion in the organic EL panel of the display device. As shown in FIG. 5, in the display panel 1, a thin film transistor array device 122 constituting the pixel circuit 106 described above is formed on a base substrate 121 such as a glass substrate or a flexible resin substrate. In the thin film transistor array device 122, an anode 123, which is a lower electrode, is formed through a planarization insulating film (not shown). On the anode 123, a hole transport layer 124, an RGB light emitting layer 125 made of an organic material, an electron transport layer 126, and a cathode 127, which is a transparent upper electrode, are sequentially stacked. An EL light emitting unit is configured.

For example, a glass material such as alkali-free glass or soda glass, a silicon substrate, or a metal substrate may be used. Moreover, you may use a polymeric material for the purpose of weight reduction or flexibility. Polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide, polyimide, etc. are suitable as the polymer material, but other known polymers such as acetate resin, acrylic resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride resin, etc. A substrate material may be used. When a polymer material is used as a substrate, an organic EL light emitting element is formed after forming a polymer substrate on a rigid base material such as glass by a coating method or pasting, and then a rigid material such as glass is formed. A manufacturing method is used to remove a substrate.

The anode 123 is a metal material having good electrical conductivity such as aluminum, aluminum alloy or copper, or a metal oxide or metal sulfide having high electrical conductivity such as light-transmitting IZO, ITO, tin oxide, indium oxide or zinc oxide.

That is, the chassis 2 supports the display panel 1 on the back side of the pair of first region R1 and second region R2. In short, the chassis 2 supports the entire back side of the display panel 1. Note that the chassis 2 may not support the entire back side of the display panel 1, and may support at least a part of each of the pair of first region R1 and second region R2.

The pair of first regions R1 of the display panel 1 are regions located at both ends of the display surface 100 in a predetermined direction (X-axis direction in the present embodiment) among the regions of the display surface 100 of the display panel 1. Each of the pair of first regions R1 is a region having a width of 20% of the width of the display surface 100 in a predetermined direction. That is, the pair of first regions R1 on the display surface 100 are both regions of the same size, and are regions located at both ends of the display surface 100 in a predetermined direction. In other words, the pair of first regions R1 of the display surface 100 are separated from each of the pair of

sides

11 and 12 facing in the predetermined direction of the display surface 100 by a distance of 20% of the width of the display surface 100 in the predetermined direction. This is an area up to

virtual lines

The second region R2 of the display surface 100 is a region between the pair of first regions R1 among the regions of the display surface 100. That is, the second region R2 is a central region in the predetermined direction among the regions of the display surface 100, and is a region that is 60% of the width in the predetermined direction.
