Light-reflection type liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating the same wherein the polarizer has particular edge arrangement
View Patent ↗A light-reflection type liquid crystal display device includes (a) a liquid crystal display panel, (b) a polarizer mounted on the liquid crystal display panel, (c) a light-guide mounted on the polarizer, (d) a resin layer sandwiched between the polarizer and the light-guide for fixing the polarizer and the light-guide to each other, (e) a light-source arranged adjacent to an end of the light-guide for supplying light to the light-guide, and (f) a frame having a bottom and a wall defining an opening which has the same contour as that of the light-guide. The light-guide is positioned relative to the polarizer by being lowered along an inner wall of the frame through the opening onto the polarizer.
1. A light-reflection type liquid crystal display device comprising:
(a) a liquid crystal display panel;
(b) a polarizer mounted on said liquid crystal display panel;
(c) a light-guide mounted on said polarizer;
(d) a resin layer sandwiched between said polarizer and said light-guide for fixing said polarizer and said light-guide to each other; and
(e) a light-source arranged adjacent to an end of said light-guide for supplying light to said light-guide,
said polarizer having an edge extending outwardly beyond an edge of at least one of said light-guide and said liquid crystal display panel.
2. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 further comprising:
(f) a frame having a bottom and a wall defining an opening which has the same contour as that of said light-guide,
said wall of said frame having an outwardly projecting portion such that said polarizer can be accommodated in said frame,
said light-guide being positioned relative to said polarizer by being lowered along an inner wall of said frame through said opening onto said polarizer.
3. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said opening is larger than a contour of said light-guide by a predetermined length.
4. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said predetermined length is equal to a tolerance allowable when said liquid crystal display device panel and said light-guide are positioned relative to each other.
5. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said liquid crystal display panel is comprised of two substrates adhered to each other through adhesive, said frame is formed at a bottom thereof with an opening, and an inner edge of said opening is located more outwardly than said adhesive.
6. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 : wherein
said polarizer has an edge extending outwardly beyond an edge of said light-guide.
7. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said light-guide has a non-light guide area along an outer edge thereof.
8. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 : wherein
said polarizer has an edge extending outwardly beyond an edge of said liquid crystal display panel.
9. The light-reflection type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 8 , wherein said light-guide has a non-light guide area along an outer edge thereof.
10. A light-reflection type liquid crystal display device comprising:
(a) a liquid crystal display panel;
(b) a polarizer mounted on said liquid crystal display panel;
(c) a light-guide mounted on said polarizer;
(d) a resin layer sandwiched between said polarizer and said light-guide for fixing said polarizer and said light-guide to each other; and
(e) a light-source arranged adjacent to an end of said light-guide for supplying light to said light-guide,
said polarizer having an edge extending outwardly beyond edges of said light-guide and said liquid crystal display panel.
