Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate, a first liquid crystal layer disposed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, a third glass substrate, a fourth glass substrate, a second liquid crystal layer disposed between the third glass substrate and the fourth glass substrate, a first polarizing plate formed on the first glass substrate, a second polarizing plate formed on the third glass substrate, and a bonding layer disposed between the first glass substrate and the third glass substrate. In planar view, the bonding layer is disposed outside the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate, a surface on the bonding layer bonds to the first glass substrate, and a surface on the bonding layer bonds to the third glass substrate.

Claims (46)

1. A liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of display panels are disposed while overlapping each other, and an image being displayed on each of the display panels, the liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first glass substrate;

a second glass substrate disposed opposite to a first direction with respect to the first glass substrate;

a first liquid crystal layer disposed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate;

a third glass substrate disposed opposite to the first glass substrate in a second direction, the second direction being an opposite direction to the first direction with respect to the first glass substrate;

a fourth glass substrate disposed opposite to the second direction with respect to the third glass substrate;

a second liquid crystal layer disposed between the third glass substrate and the fourth glass substrate;

a first polarizing plate formed in a first surface on a second direction side of the first glass substrate;

a second polarizing plate formed in a first surface on a first direction side of the third glass substrate; and

a bonding layer disposed between the first glass substrate and the third glass substrate,

wherein in planar view, the bonding layer is disposed outside the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate,

a surface on the first direction side of the bonding layer bonds to the first surface of the first glass substrate, and

a surface on the second direction side of the bonding layer bonds to the first surface of the third glass substrate.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the bonding layer is larger than a total of thicknesses of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein surface roughening is performed on at least one of a surface on the second direction side of the first polarizing plate and a surface on the first direction side of the second polarizing plate.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a gap is formed in a region between the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer includes a first portion and a second portion having weaker adhesive strength than the first portion.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein an opening is formed in a part of the bonding layer.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the bonding layer includes a first portion disposed along a side where a driving circuit is disposed and a second portion disposed opposite to the first portion, and

the opening is formed in the first portion and the second portion.

8. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the display panels includes a chip on film (COF) portion, and

the bonding layer is disposed in a region where the COF portion is avoided in planar view.

9. A liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of display panels are disposed while overlapping each other, and an image being displayed on each of the display panels, the liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first glass substrate;

a second glass substrate disposed opposite to a first direction with respect to the first glass substrate;

a first liquid crystal layer disposed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate;

a third glass substrate disposed opposite to the first glass substrate in a second direction, the second direction being an opposite direction to the first direction with respect to the first glass substrate;

a fourth glass substrate disposed opposite to the second direction with respect to the third glass substrate;

a second liquid crystal layer disposed between the third glass substrate and the fourth glass substrate;

a first polarizing plate formed in a first surface on a second direction side of the first glass substrate;

a bonding layer disposed between the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate,

wherein in planar view, the bonding layer overlaps outer peripheral ends of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate,

a surface on the first direction side of the bonding layer bonds to a surface on the second direction side of the first polarizing plate, and

a surface on the second direction side of the bonding layer bonds to a surface on the first direction side of the second polarizing plate.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein a gap is formed in a region between the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate.

11. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein the bonding layer includes a first portion and a second portion having weaker adhesive strength than the first portion.

12. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein an opening is formed in a part of the bonding layer.

13. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 ,

wherein the bonding layer includes a first portion disposed along a side where a driving circuit is disposed and a second portion disposed opposite to the first portion, and

the opening is formed in the first portion and the second portion.

14. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 ,

wherein each of the display panels includes a chip on film (COF) portion, and
