 次に、表示装置DSPを組み立てる方法について説明する。図10は、表示装置DSPを組み立てる方法を説明するための断面図であり、表示パネルPNLを折り曲げる前の状態を示す図である。 
 図10に示すように、表示装置DSPの組み立てを開始すると、まず、照明装置ILと、表示パネルPNLと、を用意する。表示パネルPNLには、駆動IC DDが搭載され、配線基板F1が連結されている。次いで、第1突起P1aと第1凹部CO1aとを嵌合する。その際、第1突起P1bと第1凹部CO1bとの嵌合も併せて行う(図3及び図4)。そして、第1部分I1aを第1側面MS1に接触させる。
Next, a method of assembling the display device DSP will be described. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a method of assembling the display device DSP, and is a diagram illustrating a state before the display panel PNL is bent.
As shown in FIG. 10, when assembling of the display device DSP is started, first, the illumination device IL and the display panel PNL are prepared. The drive IC DD is mounted on the display panel PNL, and the wiring board F1 is connected thereto. Next, the first protrusion P1a and the first concave portion CO1a are fitted. At this time, the first projection P1b and the first concave portion CO1b are also fitted together (FIGS. 3 and 4). Then, the first portion I1a is brought into contact with the first side surface MS1.
 図11は、図10に続く、表示装置DSPを組み立てる方法を説明するための断面図であり、表示パネルPNLを1回折り曲げた状態を示す図である。 
 図11に示すように、続いて、表示パネルPNLを1回折り曲げ、中央部Hを上面MUに接触させる。その後、第2突起P2aと第2凹部CO2aとを嵌合し、第2突起P2bと第2凹部CO2bとを嵌合する(図3及び図4)。そして、第1部分I2aを第2側面MS2に接触させる。次いで、表示パネルPNLを照明装置ILに沿って折り曲げる(図2)。その後、接着手段としてテープや接着剤を使用し、表示パネルPNLを照明装置ILの下面MBに接着する。配線基板F1を下面MBに接着してもよい。 
 これにより、表示装置DSPの組み立てが終了する。
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view following FIG. 10 for explaining a method of assembling the display device DSP, and is a diagram illustrating a state where the display panel PNL is bent once.
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, the display panel PNL is bent once, and the central portion H is brought into contact with the upper surface MU. Thereafter, the second protrusion P2a and the second concave portion CO2a are fitted, and the second protrusion P2b and the second concave portion CO2b are fitted (FIGS. 3 and 4). Then, the first portion I2a is brought into contact with the second side surface MS2. Next, the display panel PNL is bent along the lighting device IL (FIG. 2). Thereafter, the display panel PNL is bonded to the lower surface MB of the illumination device IL using a tape or an adhesive as a bonding means. The wiring board F1 may be bonded to the lower surface MB.
This completes the assembly of the display device DSP.
 上記のように構成された一実施形態に係る表示装置DSPよれば、表示パネルPNLの延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4を照明装置ILに沿って折り曲げることができる。図2に示したように、表示装置DSPの裏面(下面MB)側に、延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4を折りこむことができる。これにより、表示装置DSPの表面の額縁を縮小することができる。 According to the display device DSP according to the embodiment configured as described above, the extension portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, and NDA4 of the display panel PNL can be bent along the illumination device IL. As shown in FIG. 2, the extension portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, and NDA4 can be folded on the back surface (lower surface MB) of the display device DSP. Thereby, the frame on the surface of the display device DSP can be reduced.
 表示パネルPNLは、第1溝部V1a及び第2溝部V2aを有している。表示パネルPNLが第1溝部V1a及び第2溝部V2aを有していない場合と比較し、表示パネルPNLを折り曲げた際に表示セルCLに加わる応力を低減することができる。これにより、図5に示した第1周辺領域AP1や第2周辺領域AP2に位置する配線の断線など、不具合の発生を低減することができる。 The display panel PNL has a first groove V1a and a second groove V2a. The stress applied to the display cell CL when the display panel PNL is bent can be reduced as compared with the case where the display panel PNL does not have the first groove V1a and the second groove V2a. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of problems such as disconnection of the wiring located in the first peripheral area AP1 and the second peripheral area AP2 shown in FIG.
 第1光学フィルムOF1は、照明装置ILの側面MS(MS1,MS2,MS3,MS4)に接触する第1部分(I1a,I2a,I3a,I4a)を有している。第1光学フィルムOF1が上記第1部分を有していない場合と比較して、延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4の機械的な強度を高めることができ、表示パネルPNLを照明装置ILの側面MSに接触させることができる。これにより、上記配線の断線の発生を、一層、低減することができ、延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4における座屈の発生を低減することができる。 1The first optical film OF1 has first portions (I1a, I2a, I3a, I4a) that come into contact with the side surfaces MS (MS1, MS2, MS3, MS4) of the illumination device IL. Compared with the case where the first optical film OF1 does not have the first portion, the mechanical strength of the extension portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, and NDA4 can be increased, and the display panel PNL can be mounted on the illumination device IL. It can contact the side surface MS. Thereby, the occurrence of the disconnection of the wiring can be further reduced, and the occurrence of buckling at the extension portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, NDA4 can be reduced.
 第1嵌合部FI1及び第2嵌合部FI2により、照明装置ILに対する表示パネルPNLの相対的な位置を決定している。第1嵌合部FI1及び第2嵌合部FI2を利用しない場合と比較して、照明装置ILと表示パネルPNLとの位置合わせを高精度で行うことができる。照明装置ILの第1角部C1に表示パネルPNLの第1溝部V1aを確実に対向させることができ、照明装置ILの第2角部C2に表示パネルPNLの第2溝部V2aを確実に対向させることができる。 The relative position of the display panel PNL with respect to the illumination device IL is determined by the first fitting portion FI1 and the second fitting portion FI2. Compared with the case where the first fitting portion FI1 and the second fitting portion FI2 are not used, the positioning of the illumination device IL and the display panel PNL can be performed with high accuracy. The first groove portion V1a of the display panel PNL can be surely opposed to the first corner portion C1 of the illumination device IL, and the second groove portion V2a of the display panel PNL is surely opposed to the second corner portion C2 of the illumination device IL. be able to.
 そして上記のように、位置合わせ精度を高くすることができるため、第1溝部V1a及び第2溝部V2aの幅W1,W2,W3,W4を最小限に抑えることができる。これにより、延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4の機械的な強度の低下を抑制することができる。例えば、組立公差を考慮して、L1>L3、及びL2>L4としているが、長さL3及び長さL4をできるだけ長くすることができる。 As described above, since the alignment accuracy can be increased, the widths W1, W2, W3, and W4 of the first groove V1a and the second groove V2a can be minimized. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in mechanical strength of the extension portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, and NDA4. For example, L1> L3 and L2> L4 in consideration of assembly tolerance, but the lengths L3 and L4 can be made as long as possible.
 第1凹部CO1a,CO1bは、表示パネルPNLの長辺である延出部NDA1に設けられている。上記長辺側の2個の第1凹部CO1a,CO1bを位置合わせに利用することができるため、上記長辺側にて1個の第1凹部CO1を利用する場合と比較して、照明装置ILと表示パネルPNLとの位置合わせを、一層、高い精度で行うことができる。 
 第2凹部CO2a,CO2bは、表示パネルPNLの短辺である延出部NDA2に設けられている。上記短辺側の2個の第2凹部CO2a,CO2bを位置合わせに利用することができるため、上記短辺側にて1個の第2凹部CO2を利用する場合と比較して、照明装置ILと表示パネルPNLとの位置合わせを、一層、高い精度で行うことができる。 
 凹部COは、表示パネルPNLの4辺(延出部NDA1,NDA2,NDA3,NDA4)中、長辺及び短辺である2辺に設けられている。そのため、一層、照明装置ILと表示パネルPNLとの位置合わせを高い精度で行うことができる。
The first concave portions CO1a and CO1b are provided in the extended portion NDA1 which is the long side of the display panel PNL. Since the two first concave portions CO1a and CO1b on the long side can be used for alignment, the illumination device IL is compared with the case where one first concave portion CO1 is used on the long side. And the display panel PNL can be positioned with higher accuracy.
The second concave portions CO2a and CO2b are provided in the extension portion NDA2 which is a short side of the display panel PNL. Since the two second concave portions CO2a and CO2b on the short side can be used for alignment, the illumination device IL is compared with the case where one second concave portion CO2 is used on the short side. And the display panel PNL can be positioned with higher accuracy.
The concave portions CO are provided on two sides, which are a long side and a short side, of the four sides (extending portions NDA1, NDA2, NDA3, NDA4) of the display panel PNL. Therefore, the positioning of the illumination device IL and the display panel PNL can be performed with higher accuracy.
 凹部COは、配線が延在している延出部NDA1(第1周辺領域AP1)及び延出部NDA2(第2周辺領域AP2)に設けられている。組立公差を考慮した場合、凹部COの設けられている延出部NDA1,NDA2の方が幅W1,W2を狭くし易いため、延出部NDA1,NDA2の機械的な強度の低下を、一層、抑制することができる。これにより、上記配線の断線など、不具合の発生を、一層、低減することができる。 
 上記のことから、高い精度で組み立てを行うことが可能な表示装置DSPを得ることができる。
The concave portion CO is provided in the extension portion NDA1 (first peripheral region AP1) and the extension portion NDA2 (second peripheral region AP2) where the wiring extends. When the assembly tolerance is taken into account, the extension portions NDA1 and NDA2 provided with the concave portion CO can easily reduce the widths W1 and W2, so that the mechanical strength of the extension portions NDA1 and NDA2 can be further reduced. Can be suppressed. Thereby, occurrence of troubles such as disconnection of the wiring can be further reduced.
From the above, a display device DSP that can be assembled with high accuracy can be obtained.

 例えば、中央部Hが第1角部C1aに接触したり、第1部分I1aが第2角部C2aに接触したりする。延出部NDA1において、第1溝部V1aは第1角部C1aと対向しておらず、第2溝部V2aは第2角部C2aと対向していない。そのため、延出部NDA1において、第1溝部V1a及び第2溝部V2aの本来の機能を発揮することは困難である。 For example, the center portion H contacts the first corner portion C1a, or the first portion I1a contacts the second corner portion C2a. In the extension portion NDA1, the first groove V1a does not face the first corner C1a, and the second groove V2a does not face the second corner C2a. Therefore, it is difficult for the extension portion NDA1 to exhibit the original functions of the first groove portion V1a and the second groove portion V2a.
 そして、第1角部C1aと対向する領域において中央部Hが表示セルCLに加える応力が大きくなったり、第2角部C2aと対向する領域において第1部分I1aが表示セルCLに加える応力が大きくなったりする。そのため、第1周辺領域AP1に位置する配線の断線など、不具合の発生を低減することが困難となる。 
 上記のことから、比較例1では、高い精度で組み立てを行うことが可能な表示装置DSPを得ることは困難である。さらに、表示パネルPNLの折り曲げ領域において、配線の断線など、不具合の発生を低減することは困難である。
The stress applied to the display cell CL by the central portion H in the region opposed to the first corner C1a increases, or the stress applied to the display cell CL by the first portion I1a in the region opposed to the second corner C2a increases. Or become. Therefore, it becomes difficult to reduce the occurrence of problems such as disconnection of the wiring located in the first peripheral area AP1.
From the above, in Comparative Example 1, it is difficult to obtain a display device DSP that can be assembled with high accuracy. Furthermore, it is difficult to reduce the occurrence of problems such as disconnection of wiring in the bent region of the display panel PNL.
 (比較例2)
 次に、比較例2に係る表示装置DSPについて説明する。図15は、比較例2に係る表示装置DSPを示す断面図である。なお、比較例1と同様、比較例2の表示装置DSPは、照明装置ILに対する表示パネルPNLの相対的な位置を決定する手段を備えていない。
(Comparative Example 2)
Next, a display device DSP according to Comparative Example 2 will be described. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a display device DSP according to Comparative Example 2. As in Comparative Example 1, the display device DSP of Comparative Example 2 does not include means for determining the relative position of the display panel PNL with respect to the illumination device IL.
 図15に示すように、第1光学フィルムOF1の第1周辺部I1は、第1部分I1aを有していない。そのため、表示パネルPNLは、照明装置ILの第1側面MS1に接触していない。第1周辺部I1が第1部分I1aを有している場合と比較して、第1周辺領域AP1に位置する配線の断線など、不具合の発生を低減することが困難となったり、延出部NDA1における座屈の発生を低減することが困難となったりする。 
 上記のことから、比較例2では、高い精度で組み立てを行うことが可能な表示装置DSPを得ることは困難である。さらに、表示パネルPNLの折り曲げ領域の近傍において、配線の断線など、不具合の発生を低減することは困難である。
As shown in FIG. 15, the first peripheral portion I1 of the first optical film OF1 does not have the first portion I1a. Therefore, the display panel PNL is not in contact with the first side surface MS1 of the lighting device IL. As compared with the case where the first peripheral portion I1 has the first portion I1a, it is difficult to reduce the occurrence of problems such as disconnection of the wiring located in the first peripheral region AP1 or the extension portion. It may be difficult to reduce the occurrence of buckling in the NDA1.
From the above, in Comparative Example 2, it is difficult to obtain a display device DSP that can be assembled with high accuracy. Furthermore, it is difficult to reduce the occurrence of problems such as disconnection of wiring near the bent region of the display panel PNL.

 例えば、表示パネルPNLに溝部Vを設ける際、第1光学フィルムOF1及び第2光学フィルムOF2を部分的に除去したりしたが、これに限定されるものではなく。例えば、第1光学フィルムOF1及び第2光学フィルムOF2のそれぞれの厚みを部分的に薄くし、表示パネルPNLに溝部Vを設けてもよい。
