Abstract

In an image display device including an image taking window portion, the image taking window portion for an image taking camera is disposed within the image display region, and an outer diameter of a frame portion is set to satisfy a specific condition based on an angle of view of the image taking camera.

Claims (34)

1. An image display device comprising:

an image forming layer configured to form an image in an image display region; and

an image taking camera including an image taking lens,

the image forming layer including a backlight including a through-hole, an image taking window portion formed on a light path of the image taking camera in the image forming layer at a position overlapping the image taking lens when seen in plan view, and a frame portion defining a peripheral edge of the image taking window portion,

wherein the image taking camera is disposed on a back face side of the image forming layer and facing a display surface side of the image forming layer, at a position within the image display region when the image forming layer is seen in plan view, with the image taking lens positioned inside the through-hole, and

assume that a focal length of the image taking camera is d, a distance from a back face of the backlight to a tip of the image taking lens is G, an angle of view of the image taking camera is θ, a thickness of the backlight is D 1 , and a length of a frame of the backlight is B BL , an outer diameter φ STH of the frame portion satisfying a following condition;

φ STH ≥2*( d+G+D 1)tan(θ/2)+2* B BL .

2. The image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the image taking camera further includes a notch portion.

3. The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a fixing member for fixing the image taking camera to the image forming layer.

4. The image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface of the backlight surrounding the through-hole includes at least one of an inclined surface and a curved surface.

5. The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a light blocking material.

6. The image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the image forming layer is a liquid crystal display panel.

7. An image display device comprising:

an image forming layer configured to form an image in an image display region; and

an image taking camera including an image taking lens,

the image forming layer including a backlight including a through-hole, a first polarizer, a thin film transistor substrate, an image taking window portion formed on a light path of the image taking camera in the image forming layer at a position overlapping the image taking lens when seen in plan view, and a frame portion defining a peripheral edge of the image taking window portion, wherein

the image taking camera is disposed on a back face side of the image forming layer and facing a display surface side of the image forming layer, at a position within the image display region in a case where the image forming layer is seen in plan view, with the image taking lens positioned inside the through-hole, and

assume that a focal length of the image taking camera is d, a distance from a back face of the backlight to a tip of the image taking lens is G, an angle of view of the image taking camera is θ, a thickness of the backlight is D 1 , a thickness of the first polarizer is D 2 , a thickness of the thin film transistor substrate is D 3 , and a length of a frame of the thin film transistor substrate is B PANEL , an outer diameter φ STH of the frame portion satisfies a following condition;

φ STH ≥2*( d+G+D 1+ D 2+ D 3)tan(θ/2)+2* B PANEL .

8. The image display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the image taking camera further includes a notch portion.

9. The image display device according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a fixing member for fixing the image taking camera to the image forming layer.

10. The image display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein a surface of the backlight surrounding the through-hole includes at least one of an inclined surface and a curved surface.

11. The image display device according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a light blocking material.

12. The image display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the image forming layer is a liquid crystal display panel.
