| 20080303976 | Liquid Crystal Display Device - A liquid crystal display panel includes a TFT substrate and a color filter substrate respectively formed of a glass substrate. By housing the liquid crystal display panel in the inside of a frame having a curved surface, a predetermined curved surface is imparted to a display screen. Using a direct backlight having a plurality of fluorescent lamps, distances between the respective fluorescent lamps and the liquid crystal display panel are set to a fixed value. A diffusion plate has a curved surface substantially equal to the display screen. By mounting respective optical sheets on the diffusion plate, predetermined curved surfaces are imparted to the respective optical sheets. Due to such constitution, it is possible to realize a liquid crystal display device having a curved surface without using a complicated optical system. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090009688 | Liquid Crystal Display Device - The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can largely enhance a property of focusing light from a backlight. The backlight arranged on a back surface of a liquid crystal panel includes a light guide plate, a light source, a first asymmetrical prism sheet, and a second asymmetrical prism sheet. A reflection surface having an inclination of 2° or less for guiding light from the light source toward the liquid crystal display panel is formed on a back surface of the light guide plate. The first asymmetrical prism sheet and the second asymmetrical prism sheet respectively include projecting portions which extend in the arrangement direction of the light source and are arranged in parallel to each other in the direction which intersects the arrangement direction of the light source. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090015747 | Display device - A liquid crystal display panel formed by using a TFT substrate and a color filter substrate is polished to decrease the thickness thereof so that it can be curved. The liquid crystal display panel and various optical sheets are sandwiched between a frame forming a curved surface and a light guide plate forming a curved surface, to thereby form a curved surface. An upper polarizer plate and a lower polarizer plate are, respectively, sandwiched between the surface cover and the liquid crystal display panel, and between the liquid crystal display panel and the optical sheet, and are not adhered or are partly adhered to the liquid crystal display panel. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090058844 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD FOR A DISPLAY DEVICE - A scan driver selects first four rows of pixels at a time and then sequentially selects second four rows of pixels for each row in double gate driving. A data driver supplies a tone voltage corresponding to black data to the first four row of pixels at a time and then sequentially supplies a tone voltage corresponding to display data to the second four rows of pixels. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090059126 | Display device - A panel unit is formed by sandwiching a liquid crystal display panel and a diffusion sheet between a front surface plate having a curved plane and a back surface plate having a curved plane. A light source unit is arranged on a back surface of the panel unit. The diffusion sheet is formed in to an outward convex shape in the same manner as the liquid crystal display panel and hence, due to a lens action of the diffusion sheet, light from the light source unit is collected in the direction toward the center of a screen. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a phenomenon that brightness in a periphery of the screen is reduced when the screen is viewed from a front side. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090201445 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - The invention intends to reduce the luminance non-uniformity of a screen in a liquid crystal display device capable of displaying both an image on a liquid crystal display panel and a display object while switching between them. A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal shutter disposed at the back surface of a liquid crystal display panel and a display object disposed at the back surface of the liquid crystal shutter. The display object can be observed when the liquid crystal shutter is opened while an image on the liquid crystal display panel is displayed when the liquid crystal shutter is closed. The distribution of output light from an LED as a light source has peaks in two directions. The use of the LED makes it possible to uniform the luminance of a display screen. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100097554 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A liquid crystal display panel includes: a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate opposed to each other with a space therebetween; polarizing plates provided respectively on an outer surface of the first glass substrate and an outer surface of the second glass substrate except for a peripheral portion of the first glass substrate and a peripheral portion of the second glass substrate, the outer surface of the first glass substrate and the outer surface of the second glass substrate facing sides opposite to each other; and a water-resistant barrier film formed at the peripheral portion on the outer surface of at least one of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100195040 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - A liquid crystal display device which can prevent lowering of characteristics thereof when a liquid crystal display panel is bent is provided. A liquid crystal display device includes: a bent liquid crystal display panel which includes a first substrate and a second substrate which are fixed to each other by a sealing material, and liquid crystal which is hermetically filled in a space defined between the first substrate and the second substrate; and pressing members which press the first substrate and the second substrate in the direction that the first substrate and the second substrate come closer to each other. The liquid crystal display panel includes a straight line on a surface thereof and is bent along a bent line which surrounds an axis arranged parallel to the straight line. The sealing material includes non-bent portions which extend along the straight line and are not bent, and bent portions which extend along the bent line. The pressing members press the first substrate and the second substrate in regions defined between the non-bent portions of the sealing material and a display region of the liquid crystal display panel. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100328581 | Liquid Crystal Display Device - A liquid crystal display device includes a display panel, a backlight which radiates light to the display panel, a light emitting element which is mounted on the backlight, and a light guide plate on which light from the light emitting element is incident. The light guide plate has an upper surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface has grooves formed therein delimited by at least one surface which extends at a slant with respect to the bottom surface. A reflection sheet is provided which reflects the light radiated from the bottom surface. The grooves are formed to produce a first light which is reflected on the grooves and a second light which is radiated from the grooves and is reflected on the reflection sheet, and an asymmetric prism sheet is arranged on the light guide plate. | 12-30-2010 |
