Image display device including a camera and being able to prevent an image pickup window part from reducing a display area
Provided is an image display device which includes an image pickup camera and makes it possible to prevent an image pickup window part from reducing a display area. The image display device which includes the image pickup camera is configured such that: the image pickup window part for the image pickup camera is disposed in an image display region; and a diameter φp of the image pickup window part is set so as to satisfy a specific condition which is based on an angle of view θ of the image pickup camera.
1. An image display device comprising:
an image forming layer for forming an image in an image display region; and
an image pickup camera which includes an image pickup lens and is disposed on a back surface side of the image forming layer, at a location in the image display region in a plan view of the image forming layer, so as to face toward a display surface side of the image forming layer,
the image forming layer having an image pickup window part which is located on an optical path, in the image forming layer, of the image pickup camera so as to overlap the image pickup lens in a plan view of the image forming layer, and
the image pickup window part having, at an edge located on the display surface side thereof, a diameter φp which satisfies the following condition:
2 Dp tan(θ/2)≤φ p
where Dp represents a distance between the edge and a camera focal point in a direction in which an optical axis of the image pickup lens extends; and θ represents an angle of view of the image pickup camera.
2. The image display device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a frame part which frames the image pickup window part.
3. The image display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the image forming layer includes (i) a backlight having a through hole and (ii) a thin-film transistor substrate;
the image pickup camera is disposed in the through hole; and
the image pickup window part includes a region of the thin-film transistor substrate, the region having no wires.
4. The image display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein:
the image forming layer includes (i) a backlight having a through hole and (ii) a thin-film transistor substrate;
the image pickup camera is disposed in the through hole; and
the image pickup window part includes a region of the thin-film transistor substrate, the region having no wires.
5. The image display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the image forming layer includes (i) a backlight having a through hole and (ii) a thin-film transistor substrate;
the image pickup camera is disposed on a back surface of the backlight; and
the image pickup window part includes the through hole and a region of the thin-film transistor substrate, the region having no wires.
6. The image display device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein:
the image forming layer includes (i) a backlight having a through hole and (ii) a thin-film transistor substrate;
the image pickup camera is disposed on a back surface of the backlight; and
the image pickup window part includes the through hole and a region of the thin-film transistor substrate, the through region having no wires.
7. The image display device as set forth in claim 3 , wherein a frame part is disposed on the thin-film transistor substrate, and includes wires which are disposed so as to circle the image pickup window part and a black matrix which is disposed so as to overlap the wires when viewed from above.
8. The image display device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the frame part is disposed on the thin-film transistor substrate, and includes wires which are disposed so as to circle the image pickup window part and a black matrix which is disposed so as to overlap the wires when viewed from above.
9. The image display device as set forth in claim 5 , wherein a frame part is disposed on the thin-film transistor substrate, and includes wires which are disposed so as to circle the image pickup window part and a black matrix which is disposed so as to overlap the wires when viewed from above.
10. The image display device as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the frame part is disposed on the thin-film transistor substrate, and includes wires which are disposed so as to circle the image pickup window part and a black matrix which is disposed so as to overlap the wires when viewed from above.
11. The image display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the image forming layer is a liquid crystal display panel.
