Abstract

Provided is a display device which includes: a display panel having a display screen on which an image is displayed; and a touch panel which is arranged on a display screen side of the display panel. The display panel includes: a first substrate; a second substrate which is arranged on a side closer to the touch panel than the first substrate; and a polarizer which is arranged on a touch panel side of the second substrate. The touch panel is formed larger than the polarizer and is laminated to the polarizer. An auxiliary member is arranged between the touch panel and a portion of the second substrate which is exposed from the polarizer.

Claims (35)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel having a display screen on which an image is displayed; and

a touch panel which is arranged on a display screen side of the display panel, wherein the display panel includes:

a first substrate; a second substrate which is arranged on a side closer to the touch panel than the first substrate; and

a polarizer which is arranged on a touch panel side of the second substrate, the touch panel is formed larger than the polarizer and is laminated to the polarizer,

and

an auxiliary member is arranged between the touch panel and a portion of the second substrate which is exposed from the polarizer,

wherein the auxiliary member has a lowest surface directly disposed on the portion of the second substrate and the auxiliary member is constituted of a resin-made auxiliary member.

2. A display device comprising:

a display panel having a display screen on which an image is displayed; and

a touch panel which is arranged on a display screen side of the display panel, wherein the display panel includes:

a first substrate; a second substrate which is arranged on a side closer to the touch panel than the first substrate; and a polarizer which is arranged on a touch panel side of the second substrate, the touch panel is formed larger than the polarizer and is laminated to the polarizer,

and

an auxiliary member is arranged between the touch panel and a portion of the second substrate which is exposed from the polarizer,

wherein the auxiliary member is constituted of a metal-made auxiliary member, and the metal-made auxiliary member is formed into a frame shape such that the metal-made auxiliary member surrounds an outer periphery of the polarizer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the auxiliary member is also constituted of a metal-made auxiliary member, and

the metal-made auxiliary member is formed into a frame shape such that the metal-made auxiliary member surrounds an outer periphery of the polarizer.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the resin-made auxiliary member is arranged on a side closer to the touch panel than the metal-made auxiliary member.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a total of a thickness of the metal-made auxiliary member and a thickness of the resin-made auxiliary member is set smaller than a thickness 15 of the polarizer.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the auxiliary member is set smaller than a thickness of the polarizer.

7. A display device comprising:

a display panel having a display screen on which an image is displayed; and

a touch panel which is arranged on a display screen side of the display panel, wherein the display panel includes:

a first substrate; a second substrate which is arranged on a side closer to the touch panel than the first substrate; and a polarizer which is arranged on a touch panel side of the second substrate, the touch panel is formed larger than the polarizer and is laminated to the polarizer,

and

an auxiliary member is arranged between the touch panel and a portion of the second substrate which is exposed from the polarizer,

wherein

the touch panel includes two substrates and a hollow region which is formed between two substrates,

a portion of the hollow region is arranged so as to extend to the outside beyond the polarizer, and

the auxiliary member is arranged at a position where the auxiliary member overlaps with the portion of the hollow region.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the touch panel includes two substrates formed into a film shape.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary member has a planer surface on a side of the touch panel.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary member has a thickness equal to a distance between the second substrate and the touch panel.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary member is arranged so as to surround the polarizer.
