Abstract

A luminous array film-type display device having a multi-curved screen comprises, a luminous array film such as plasma tube array (PTA) and a support member supporting the luminous array film. The support member having a support surface that is curved continuously in one direction with at least two curvature radii supports the luminous array film along the curved surface.

Claims (23)

1 . A luminous array film-type display device, comprising a support member having a support surface that is curved continuously in one direction with at least two curvature radii,

wherein the support surface of the support member supports a flexible display film having a luminous point array, and a plate-shaped chassis, on which a circuit board is mounted, is fixed to the opposite surface of the support surface.

2 . The luminous array film-type display device according to claim 1 , comprising a gap between the support member and the plate-shaped chassis, with the space size of the gap varying partially along the one direction.

3 . The luminous array film-type display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display film has a structure in which a plurality of plasma tubes arranged in parallel are held between an address electrode sheet and a display electrode sheet, and the display film is flexible in a direction in which the plasma tubes are arranged, and

the plasma tube array is supported by the support surface of the support member in such a manner that the direction in which the plasma tubes are arranged coincides with the one direction of the curved support member.

4 . The luminous array film-type display device according to claim 2 , wherein the display film has a structure in which a plurality of plasma tubes arranged in parallel are held between an address electrode sheet and a display electrode sheet, and the display film is flexible in a direction in which the plasma tubes are arranged, and

the plasma tube array is supported by the support surface of the support member in such a manner that the direction in which the plasma tubes are arranged coincides with the one direction of the curved support member.

5 . A luminous array multifilm-type display device, which is configured with a pair of luminous array film-type display devices according to claim 1 that are connected together at a predetermined angle,

wherein display surfaces of the pair of luminous array film-type display devices connected together are configured to have line symmetry about a connected portion thereof.

6 . A luminous array multifilm-type display device, which is configured with a pair of luminous array film-type display devices according to claim 2 that are connected together at a predetermined angle,

wherein display surfaces of the pair of luminous array film-type display devices connected together are configured to have line symmetry about a connected portion thereof.

7 . A luminous array multifilm-type display device, which is configured with a pair of luminous array film-type display devices according to claim 3 that are connected together at a predetermined angle,

wherein display surfaces of the pair of luminous array film-type display devices connected together are configured to have line symmetry about a connected portion thereof.

8 . A luminous array multifilm-type display device, which is configured with a pair of luminous array film-type display devices according to claim 4 that are connected together at a predetermined angle,

wherein display surfaces of the pair of luminous array film-type display devices connected together are configured to have line symmetry about a connected portion thereof.

9 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 5 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are supported by a connecting frame body formed of right and left supporting frames combined together that are bent in a dogleg shape at a predetermined angle.

10 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 6 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are supported by a connecting frame body formed of right and left supporting frames combined together that are bent in a dogleg shape at a predetermined angle.

11 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 7 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are supported by a connecting frame body formed of right and left supporting frames combined together that are bent in a dogleg shape at a predetermined angle.

12 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are supported by a connecting frame body formed of right and left supporting frames combined together that are bent in a dogleg shape at a predetermined angle.

13 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 5 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are connected together rotatably about a connecting mechanism.

14 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 6 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are connected together rotatably about a connecting mechanism.

15 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 7 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are connected together rotatably about a connecting mechanism.

16 . The luminous array multifilm-type display device according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of luminous array film-type display devices are connected together rotatably about a connecting mechanism.
