Abstract

In a liquid crystal display device in which a front window and a touch panel are bonded together with an adhesive sheet, a logo having plural layers is formed on a back side of the front window. A touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is mounted to the touch panel. A plane distance between an end portion of the plural layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is set to greater than zero. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a peeling stress on the adhesive sheet, even if a thickness of the adhesive sheet is smaller than the sum of a thickness of the touch-panel flexible wiring substrate and a thickness of the logo.

Claims (32)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel with a backlight housed in a resin mold;

a touch panel attached to the liquid crystal display panel; and

a front window attached to the touch panel,

wherein the touch panel and the front window are bonded together with an adhesive sheet,

wherein a touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein a logo having a plurality of layers is formed on a surface of the front window which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein a portion of the plurality of layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of at least one of the plurality of layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that said one of the plurality of layers does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein when a thickness of the adhesive sheet is d 1 , a thickness of the portion of the plurality of layers of the logo is d 2 , and a thickness of the touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is d 3 , the relationship d 1 <d 2 +d 3 is established.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plane distance between an end portion of the plurality of layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than 0.3 mm.

4. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel with a backlight housed in a resin mold;

a touch panel attached to the liquid crystal display panel; and

a front window attached to the touch panel,

wherein the touch panel and the front window are bonded together with an adhesive sheet,

wherein a touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein a logo is formed on an inner surface of the front window which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed by two layers including a first layer and a second layer from the side of the front window,

wherein a portion of the two layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the second layer of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that the second layer does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.

5. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel with a backlight housed in a resin mold;

a touch panel attached to the liquid crystal display panel; and

a front window attached to the touch panel,

wherein the touch panel and the front window are bonded together with an adhesive sheet,

wherein a touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein a logo is formed on a surface an inner surface of the front window which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed by three layers including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer from the side of the front window,

wherein an end portion of the second layer is covered by the third layer,

wherein a portion of the three layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the second layer of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that the second layer does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.
