Abstract

Provided is a light emitting apparatus having a structure suitable for improvement in production yield. This light emitting apparatus includes a display panel, a transparent plate including an opposite surface that faces the display panel, and a light shielding layer provided in a peripheral part of the opposite surface of the transparent plate.

Claims (31)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel;

a transparent plate including an opposite surface that faces the display panel;

a light shielding layer provided in a peripheral part of the opposite surface of the transparent plate; and

a light guide member provided to occupy only an overlapping region of the light shielding layer and the display panel, out of a space interposed between the display panel and the transparent plate.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resin layer provided between the display panel and the light shielding layer.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the light guide member is provided between the display panel and the resin layer, provided between the transparent plate and the resin layer, or embedded in the resin layer.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the light guide member includes a part that is exposed to outside.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the light guide member is provided to occupy also a central region surrounded by a light shielding region occupied by the light shielding layer in the transparent plate.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the display panel displays a plurality of viewpoint images, and

the light guide member has a function of optically separating the plurality of viewpoint images displayed on the display panel to allow for stereoscopic vision.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the light guide member comprises a pattern retarder, a lenticular lens, a liquid crystal layer barrier, or a parallax barrier.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the light guide member comprises a touch panel, a light diffusion sheet, a prism sheet, a lens sheet, or an anti-reflection sheet.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the light guide member is provided only in the overlapping region.

10. A display unit to be joined to a transparent plate with a light shielding layer being formed in a peripheral region, the display unit comprising:

a display panel; and

a light guide member provided in only an overlapping region of the light shielding layer and the display panel, between the display panel and the transparent plate.

11. A transparent plate unit to be joined to a display panel, the transparent plate unit comprising:

a transparent plate including an opposite surface that faces the display panel;

a light shielding layer provided in a peripheral part of the opposite surface of the transparent plate; and

a light guide member disposed to face the transparent plate, with the light shielding layer being interposed therebetween, and disposed only in an overlapping region of the light shielding layer and the display panel.

12. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent plate has a low reflection surface.

13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent plate has a thickness of 0.2 mm to 5.0 mm.

14. A display comprising:

an organic electroluminescence panel; and

a transparent plate unit to be joined to a display panel, the transparent plate unit comprising:

a transparent plate including an opposite surface that faces the display panel, the transparent plate having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 5.0 mm;

a light shielding layer provided in a peripheral part of the opposite surface of the transparent plate; and

a light guide member disposed to face the transparent plate, with the light shielding layer being interposed therebetween, and disposed only in an overlapping region of the light shielding layer and the display panel.
