Liquid crystal screen
View Patent ↗An LCD screen comprises an optical stack of at least one optical film against the rear polarizer placed at the rear of the plate of the LCD module. That face of the optical film overlaid against the polarizer is rough. A bead of glue is dispensed over the thickness of the rim of the stack over the whole of its perimeter. Depending on whether or not the polarizer is of the hardened type, the screen is encapsulated in a mechanical structure comprising an outer frame and an inner frame clamping the plate and the rear polarizer or the plate alone, the bead of glue being dispensed in the space between the inner frame and the stack.
1. An LCD screen comprising:
an LCD module with a polarizer at a rear face of a plate of the LCD module, and
a mechanical structure that comprises an inner frame and an outer frame, and further comprises a spacer disposed to a rear of the LCD module, around its perimeter, the LCD module and the spacer being clamped between said inner and outer frames, and an optical stack at the rear face of the polarizer, set back from the spacer, said optical stack comprising at least one optical film overlaid against said polarizer, at least one face of said at least one optical film overlaid against the polarizer being of nonzero surface roughness, a bead of glue being dispensed over a rim of the optical stack over the whole of its perimeter in a space delimited between the spacer and the optical stack.
2. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said optical stack comprises two or more optical films overlaid one against another, such that at each interface between two optical films, at least one optical film has a face of nonzero surface roughness.
3. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one optical film of the optical stack is a diffuser.
4. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said polarizer is a polarizer with additional optical function integrated by lamination of an optical film.
5. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polarizer and the optical stack have substantially same dimensions, the set back with respect to the edge of the LCD module and of the spacer which is disposed against the rear face of the plate of the LCD module, and said bead of glue covers the rim of an assembly of the polarizer and of the optical stack, in the space delimited between the spacer and the polarizer plus optical stack assembly.
6. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polarizer is of a type hardened to storage in damp heat, and substantially overlaps a surface of the plate of the LCD module, and the spacer is disposed against the rear face of said polarizer.
7. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises a glass panel that integrates a surface heater, said glass panel being overlaid against an optical film or a last optical film of the optical stack, that face of the optical film overlaid against the glass panel being of nonzero surface roughness.
8. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is a continuous part going right around the LCD module.
9. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is formed of four bands, one per side of the LCD module.
10. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is formed by said inner frame.
11. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said inner frame bears on the spacer.
12. The LCD screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is attached securely to said LCD module, by an adhesive.
