Abstract

A front panel, a touchpad, and a display cell are adhered and fixed, and these and a back light are held by a bracket to construct a display body unit. When the display body unit is mounted on a support, the front panel is fixed to the support with an adhesive layer therebetween. In this state, each of mounting portions has position adjustability in the vertical direction (Z direction). In the state having position adjustability, the mounting portion is fixed to the support by a fixing mechanism.

Claims (15)

1. A display device comprising:

a support;

a display window formed in the support;

a light-transmissive front panel mounted on the display window; and

a display cell positioned at an inner side of the front panel,

wherein the display cell is adhered and fixed to an inner surface of the front panel, and the front panel and the display cell are held by a bracket to form a display body unit,

wherein the front panel is fixed to the support, the display body unit is mounted on the support, and the bracket is fixed to the support by a fixing mechanism,

wherein the fixing mechanism comprises a mounting portion extending in a vertical direction formed at the bracket, a holding member fixed to the support, and a mounting screw that fastens the mounting portion on the holding member, and

wherein the bracket and the support are configured to have position adjustability in the vertical direction perpendicular to a surface of the front panel while the front panel is fixed to the support and the front panel is positioned upright in the display device.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display cell is adhered and fixed to an inner surface of the front panel with a touchpad therebetween.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a back light is held by the bracket.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is formed with a mounting portion extending in the vertical direction, the mounting piece is fixed to the support, and the mounting portion is elastically deformable in a direction along the surface of the front panel.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein in the fixing mechanism, a mounting hole is formed in the mounting portion, and the mounting portion is fixed to the support by a mounting screw having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the mounting hole.

6. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein in the fixing mechanism, the mounting portion is formed with a mounting hole, and the mounting portion is fixed to the support by a rivet having a diameter smaller than the mounting hole.

7. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein in the fixing mechanism, the mounting portion is fixed to the support by adhesive.
