Abstract

A display unit of the present disclosure includes: a first plate-like member including a display device; a second plate-like member including a drive circuit, the drive circuit configured to control the display device; and one or two or more wiring sections having flexibility, the wiring sections configured to connect the first plate-like member and the second plate-like member to each other, in which a curvature of the second plate-like member is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than a curvature of the first plate-like member.

Claims (17)

1. A display unit comprising:

a first plate-like member including a display device;

a second plate-like member including a drive circuit, the drive circuit configured to control the display device; and

one or two or more wiring sections having flexibility, the wiring sections configured to connect the first plate-like member and the second plate-like member to each other,

wherein a curvature of the second plate-like member is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than a curvature of the first plate-like member.

2. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the first plate-like member is smaller than that of the second plate-like member.

3. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second plate-like member is disposed on a same plane as the first plate-like member.

4. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second plate-like member is disposed on a back surface side of the first plate-like member.

5. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring section includes two parallel sections with respect to the first plate-like member and a vertical section connecting these parallel sections to each other.

6. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second plate-like member is not fixed.

7. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the second plate-like member is fixed to a member with a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or smaller than that of the second plate-like member.

8. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein an IC chip is provided on the wiring section.

9. The display unit according to claim 8 , wherein the IC chip is in contact with a heat dissipation member.

10. The display unit according to claim 1 , wherein respective IC chips provided to the respective two or more wiring sections are connected to one another by a heat dissipation member.

11. The display unit according to claim 10 , wherein a curvature of the heat dissipation member is equal to or larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than that of the first plate-like member.

12. The display unit according to claim 5 , wherein an IC chip is disposed in the parallel section of the wiring section.

13. The display unit according to claim 5 , wherein an IC chip is disposed in the vertical section of the wiring section.
