Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a first substrate and a second substrate arranged so as to face each other; a display region included in each of the first substrate and the second substrate; a transparent region formed inside the display region in a planar view; a frame region formed between the display region and the transparent region so as to surround the transparent region along an outer edge of the transparent region in a planar view; a polarizer formed in either the first substrate or the second substrate and having an opening overlapping the transparent region; a first transparent conductive film formed in a first conductive layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a second transparent conductive film formed in a second conductive layer between the first conductive layer and the second substrate. The second transparent conductive film is in the frame region in a planar view.

Claims (32)

1 - 17 . (canceled)

18 . A display device comprising:

a first substrate including:

an insulating substrate;

a display region;

a transparent region formed inside the display region in a planar view;

a frame region formed between the display region and the transparent region to surround the transparent region along an outer edge of the transparent region in a planar view;

a first transparent conductive film;

a second transparent conductive film formed between the insulating substrate and the first transparent conductive film; and

a first insulating film between the first transparent conductive film and the second transparent conductive film;

wherein

in plan view, the first transparent conductive film includes a first portion overlapping an entirety of the transparent region, and

the first portion is divided into a plurality of pieces according to a shape of the frame region and a shape of the transparent region.

19 . The display device according to claim 18 , wherein

in plan view, the shape of the frame region is a ring shape, and

the first transparent conductive film is circular along the ring shape.

20 . The display device according to claim 19 , wherein
