Liquid crystal apparatus, projection apparatus and electronic equipment
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal apparatus includes: a liquid crystal panel having a pair of substrates and including a display area; and a case body having an opening in an area corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal panel and being attached to the liquid crystal panel, in which the case body includes: a plurality of panel-shaped members having a laminated structure including a clearance in the direction of the thickness of the liquid crystal panel, openings provided at portions on the side of one side of the liquid crystal panel and on the side of the other side thereof opposing the one side corresponding to the clearance, a diaphragm formed in the clearance of the plurality of panel-shaped members from the side of the one side toward the side of the other side.
1. A liquid crystal apparatus, comprising:
a liquid crystal panel having a pair of substrates and including a display area; and
a case body having an opening in an area corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal panel and being attached to the liquid crystal panel,
wherein the case body includes:
a plurality of panel-shaped members having a laminated structure including a clearance in the direction of the thickness of the liquid crystal panel,
openings provided at portions on the side of one side of the liquid crystal panel and on the side of the other side thereof opposing the one side corresponding to the clearance,
a diaphragm formed in the clearance of the plurality of panel-shaped members from the side of the one side toward the side of the other side,
a light reflecting surface which reflects the light on the light-incident side, and
a light absorbing surface which absorbs the light on the light-outgoing side.
2. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the case body is attached at least to the light-incident side of the liquid crystal panel.
3. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm include a plurality of column supports formed continuously in a direction from the one side toward the other side.
4. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of diaphragms which are arranged at a distance from each other.
5. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the distance between adjacent diaphragms in a center portion of the case body is greater than in a lateral portion of the case body.
6. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm has a V-shape in cross-section taken along a plane intersecting a direction of extension of the diaphragm.
7. The liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the panel-shaped members are formed of metal.
8. The liquid crystal apparatus according to Claim 1 , wherein, outside the opening and along lateral ends of the opening, the diaphragm extends continuously from the one side to the other side.
9. A projection apparatus, comprising the liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 .
10. Electronic equipment, comprising the liquid crystal apparatus according to claim 1 .
