(a) An elastic front window is adhered to a rigid touch panel by way of an adhesive sheet. (b) An elastic touch panel is adhered to a rigid liquid crystal panel by way of an adhesive sheet, and an elastic front window is adhered to the elastic touch panel byway of an adhesive sheet. (c) An elastic touch panel is adhered to a rigid liquid crystal panel by way of an adhesive sheet and, thereafter, a rigid front window is adhered to the elastic touch panel by way of an ultraviolet-curing adhesive material. (d) An elastic touch panel is adhered to a rigid front window by way of an adhesive sheet and, thereafter, a rigid liquid crystal panel is adhered to the elastic touch panel by way of an ultraviolet-curing adhesive material.
1 . A liquid crystal display comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate which is arranged to face the first substrate in an opposed manner such that a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a semiconductor element which is mounted on a region of a liquid-crystal-layer-side surface of the first substrate excluding a region where the first substrate faces the second substrate;
a polarizer which is arranged on the second substrate;
a touch panel which is adhered to the polarizer by way of a first adhesive layer, and allows one edge thereof to face at least a portion of the region where the semiconductor element is mounted; and
a front window which is adhered to the touch panel by way of a second adhesive layer, wherein
a thickness of the semiconductor element is smaller than a sum of a thickness of the polarizer and a thickness of the second substrate.
2 . A liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the semiconductor element is smaller than a sum of one half of the thickness of the polarizer and the thickness of the second substrate.
3 . A liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the semiconductor element is larger than the thickness of the second substrate.
4 . A liquid crystal display comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate which is arranged to face the first substrate in an opposed manner such that a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a semiconductor element which is mounted on a region of a liquid-crystal-layer-side surface of the first substrate excluding a region where the first substrate faces the second substrate;
a polarizer which is arranged on the second substrate;
a touch panel which is adhered to the polarizer by way of a first adhesive layer; and
a front window which is adhered to the touch panel by way of a second adhesive layer, wherein
one edge of the touch panel projects from a region which faces the semiconductor element in an opposed manner so as to prevent the one edge of the touch panel from coming into contact with an upper surface of the semiconductor element when the one edge of the touch panel is displaced in the first substrate direction.
