Abstract

An electronic device includes a liquid crystal display device having a first substrate, a second substrate bonded to the first substrate, with liquid crystal material held between the first substrate and the second substrate, and an upper polarizing plate affixed to the second substrate. A protective member is disposed over the upper polarizing plate, and an adhesive member is disposed between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate without an air layer between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate. The protective member is configured as a protective cover of the electronic device.

Claims (17)

1. A display device used in a hand-held electronic device comprising;

a first member,

a resin film disposed over the first member,

a TFT substrate having a multi-thin layer and disposed over the resin film,

an adhesive member disposed between the TFT substrate and the resin film,

a cover member disposed over the TFT substrate, and

a second member disposed between the TFT substrate and the cover member,

wherein the cover member is a protective cover of the hand-held electronic device,

the resin film is a separate member from the TFT substrate and the first member,

an edge of the TFT substrate and an edge of the second substrate are in a same position in a plan view,

an edge of the first member is in a different position from the edge of the TFT substrate and an edge of the second member, in a plan view,

a total thickness of the display device is no greater than 2 mm, and

a thickness of the resin film depends on a thickness of the TFT substrate and the second member.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first member is a polarizing plate.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total of a thickness of the TFT substrate and a thickness of the second member is larger than a thickness of the resin member.
