DISPLAY APPARATUS
A display apparatus including an image unit, a light source module and a transparent plate is provided. The image unit has an image display surface which includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The light source module is disposed at the first side of the image display surface, and adapted to serve as a front light source of the image unit to provide a light beam to the image display surface. The transparent plate is disposed above the image display surface.
1 . A display apparatus, comprising:
an image unit, having an image display surface comprising a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
a first light source module, disposed at the first side of the image display surface and configured to serve as a front light source of the image unit to provide a beam to the image display surface; and
a transparent plate, disposed above the image display surface.
2 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent plate is disposed above the image display surface and inclined with respect to the image display surface, an included angle is provided between the transparent plate and the image display surface, and the transparent plate extends from the second side toward the first side at a predetermined slope.
3 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the included angle is smaller than 15 degrees.
4 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the transparent plate is in a range from 0.5 millimeters to 2 millimeters.
5 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a refractive index of the transparent plate is greater than 1.4.
6 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first light source module comprises:
a reflective cover, disposed at the first side, wherein the reflective cover comprises a reflective surface and a light emitting opening; and
a light emitting device, disposed in the reflective cover,

7 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the reflective surface is a hyperbolic surface, and the hyperbolic surface symmetrically extends from the first side toward the second side using the light emitting device as a reference.
8 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a horizontal height at a location of the light emitting device is higher than a horizontal height of the image display surface.
9 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the hyperbolic surface includes a first curved surface and a second curved surface, the first curved surface and the second curved surface correspond to a first curve and a second curve when viewed from a cross-section of the display apparatus, absolute values of tangent slopes of the first curve and the second curve gradually decrease from the first side toward the second side, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the image display surface.
10 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the reflective surface is a curved surface, and the curved surface extends from the first side toward the second side using the light emitting device as a reference.
11 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a horizontal height at a location of the light emitting device is lower than a horizontal height of the image display surface, or the light emitting device and the image display surface are located on the same horizontal plane.
12 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the curved surface corresponds to a curve when viewed from a cross-section of the display apparatus, a tangent slope of the curve gradually decreases from the first side toward the second side, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the image display surface.
13 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first light source module further comprises a diffuser disposed at the light emitting opening of the reflective cover.
14 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the image unit comprises an upper polarizer having a first polarization direction and disposed on the image display surface.
15 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second light source module disposed beside the second side of the image display surface, wherein the transparent plate is located above the image unit, the first light source module, and the second light source module, and the transparent plate is disposed in parallel to the image display surface.
