Abstract

A display device in an embodiment according to the present invention includes a display region arranged above a flexible substrate, the display region including a first display region and a second display region continuing from the first display region, at least the second display region including a curved surface. The second display region is located at a position where an image displayed in the second display region is not seen directly when viewing the first display region from a perpendicular direction with respect to a center part of the first display region.

Claims (36)

1. A display device comprising:

a display region arranged above a flexible substrate, the display region including a first display region and a second display region continuing from the first display region, at least the second display region including a curved surface; and

the second display region is located at a position where an image displayed in the second display region is not seen directly when viewing the first display region from a perpendicular direction with respect to a center part of the first display region,

wherein

the first display region includes first pixels and the second display region includes second pixels,

the first pixels include third pixels adjacent to the second display region and fourth pixels located in an opposite area of the third pixels from the second display region,

the second pixels include fifth pixels adjacent to the first display region and sixth pixels located in an opposite area of the fifth pixels from the first display region,

a size of each of the third pixels is larger than a size of each of the fourth pixels, and

a size of each of the fifth pixels is smaller than a size of each of the sixth pixels.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region is a flat surface and the second display region is located so that an image displayed in the second display region is not visible when viewing the first display region from a perpendicular direction with respect to the flat surface.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region includes a curved surface.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the curved surface of the second display region has a larger curvature than the curved surface of the first display region.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a curvature of a boundary region between the first display region and the second display region is the largest in the display region.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region and the second display region include a plurality of pixels respectively, and

a first pitch of the pixels in the first display region is different from a second pitch of the pixels in the second display region.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the first pitch is smaller than the second pitch.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region includes a first light emitting region and the second display region includes a second light emitting region.

9. The display device according to 8 , wherein a non-light emitting region is not included at a boundary between the first light emitting region and the second light emitting region.

10. A display system comprising:

a display device including a display region arranged above a flexible substrate, the display region including a first display region and a second display region continuing from the first display region and including a curved surface; and

a projection surface facing the second display region,

wherein an image display displayed in the second display region is projected on the projection surface,

the first display region includes first pixels and the second display region includes second pixels,

the first pixels include third pixels adjacent to the second display region and fourth pixels located in an opposite area of the third pixels from the second display region,

the second pixels include fifth pixels adjacent to the first display region and sixth pixels located in an opposite area of the fifth pixels from the first display region,

a size of each of the third pixels is larger than a size of each of the fourth pixels, and

a size of each of the fifth pixels is smaller than a size of each of the sixth pixels.

11. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein the first display region displays a direct view image.

12. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein the projection surface is a screen, reflective plate or glass plate.

13. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein the first display region includes a curved surface.

14. The display system according to claim 13 , wherein the curved surface of the second display region has a larger curvature than the curved surface of the first display region.

15. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein the first display region and the second display region include a plurality of pixels respectively, and

a first pitch of the pixels in the first display region is different from a second pitch of the pixels in the second display region.

16. The display system according to claim 15 , wherein the first pitch is smaller than the second pitch.

17. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein the first display region includes a first light emitting region and the second display region includes a second light emitting region.

18. The display system according to claim 17 , wherein a non-light emitting region is not included at a boundary between the first light emitting region and the second light emitting region.
