Abstract

An object of the present invention is to propose the structure and constitution of a liquid crystal display device having a protection plate, which prevents exfoliation of black painting at ends of the protection plate when dust on the protection plate of the liquid crystal display device is wiped off, thus preventing degradation of design features. The liquid crystal display device comprises: a transparent protection plate formed above a liquid crystal panel; a pair of polarizing plates disposed to sandwich and hold the liquid crystal panel; a transparent organic medium layer formed between the protection plate and the liquid crystal panel; a black coloring layer formed at ends of four sides on a side of the protection plate, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed; and an anti-glare film composed of an anti-glare layer and an adhesion layer formed on a side of the protection plate, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed.

Claims (52)

1. A liquid crystal device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel which includes a liquid crystal layer sandwiched and held between a pair of substrates;

a pair of polarizing plates disposed to sandwich and hold the liquid crystal panel;

a transparent organic medium layer formed on a side of one of the pair of polarizing plates, the side being opposite to a side at which the liquid crystal panel is disposed;

a protection plate formed on a side of the transparent organic medium layer, the side being opposite to a side at which the liquid crystal panel is disposed;

a black coloring layer formed on a side of the protection plate but in a non-image display region, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed;

an anti-glare layer formed on a side of the protection plate, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed;

wherein the anti-glare layer is attached to the protection late through an adhesion layer;

wherein the anti-glare layer and the adhesion layer are formed above the black coloring layer and the protection plate; and

wherein a relation 2t<T is satisfied, where t denotes the thickness of the black coloring layer; and T, the thickness of the adhesion layer.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the black coloring layer is formed at ends of four sides on the protection plate.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a housing;

fixing members which fix the housing and the protection plate; and

a frame formed so as to surround the transparent organic medium layer.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an antireflection layer formed on a side of the protection plate, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the black coloring layer and the anti-glare layer are disposed in the same plane.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the anti-glare layer is formed directly on the protection plate and the black coloring layer.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein:

a relation 2t<D is satisfied, where t denotes the thickness of the black coloring layer; and D, the thickness of the anti-glare layer.

8. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein:

the thickness of the fixing members is thicker at a portion close to the central portion of the protection plate than at the end thereof.

9. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the thickness of the black coloring layer is more than 4 μm and less than 17 μm.

10. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the thickness of the adhesion layer is more than 4 μm and less than 40 μm.

11. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 7 , wherein:

the thickness of the anti-glare layer is more than 9 μm and less than 25 μm.

12. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel which includes a liquid crystal layer sandwiched and held between a pair of substrates;

a pair of polarizing plates disposed to sandwich and hold the liquid crystal panel;

a transparent organic medium layer formed on a side of one of the pair of polarizing plates, the side being opposite to a side on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed;

a protection plate formed on a side of the transparent organic medium layer, the side being opposite to a side on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed; and

a black coloring layer formed on a side of the protection plate but in a non-image display region, the side being opposite to a side on which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed;

a backlight which includes light sources disposed for the liquid crystal panel at a side opposite to the side at which the protection plate is disposed, the light sources irradiating the liquid crystal panel with light; and

an anti-glare layer or an antireflection layer formed on a side of the protection plate, the side being opposite to a side at which the transparent organic medium layer is disposed;

wherein the anti-glare layer or the antireflective layer is attached to the protection plate through an adhesion layer; and

wherein a relation 2t<T is satisfied, where t denotes the thickness of the black coloring layer; and T, the thickness of the adhesion layer.

13. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

the backlight includes a reflective sheet disposed for the light sources for reflecting light to a side opposite to the side on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed.

14. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

the black coloring layer is formed at ends of four sides on the protection plate.

15. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a housing;

fixing members which fix the housing and the protection plate through adhesion; and

a frame formed so as to surround the transparent organic medium layer.

16. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 , wherein:

a relation 2t<D is satisfied, where t denotes the thickness of the black coloring layer; and D, the thickness of the anti-glare layer or the antireflection layer.
