Abstract

A wearable display device includes a display element, a circuit board, an outer case including a first case member and a second case member, the first case member being configured to dissipate heat generated by the circuit board to outside, the second case member being disposed farther to a wearer side than the first case member is and configured to dissipate heat generated by the display element to the outside, and a heat insulating structure disposed in a region where the first case member and the second case member face each other.

Claims (41)

1. A wearable display device comprising:

a display element;

a circuit board;

an outer case including a first case member and a second case member, the first case member being configured to dissipate heat generated by the circuit board to outside, the second case member being disposed farther to a wearer side than the first case member is and configured to dissipate heat generated by the display element to the outside;

a heat insulating structure disposed between the first case member and the second case member;

a heat insulator configured to suppress heat transfer from the circuit board to the second case member, wherein the heat insulating structure and the heat insulator are separate members; and

a heat dissipation member configured to couple the display element and the second case member.

2. The wearable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board includes a signal processing circuit that does not include light emission; and

the display element includes a light emitting layer and a drive circuit.

3. The wearable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board is supported by the second case member through a board holder; and

the heat insulator is disposed at a display element side of the board holder.

4. The wearable display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the board holder separates an inside of the outer case into areas discretely; and

the circuit board and the display element are disposed in the discrete areas.

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

a second heat dissipation member configured to couple the circuit board and the first case member.

6. The wearable display device according to claim 5 , wherein the circuit board and the display element are disposed in areas discretely separated by a partitioning member inside the outer case.

7. The wearable display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first case member includes an outer surface member disposed at an opposite side from a wearer, and a top surface member coupled to the outer surface member; and

the second case member includes an inner surface member disposed at the wearer side and a bottom surface member coupled to the inner surface member.

8. The wearable display device according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the first case member is greater than an area of the second case member.

9. The wearable display device according to claim 1 , comprising a light guiding member configured to guide, toward an eye of a wearer, light emitted from the display element, wherein

the first case member is coupled to a front frame that covers an end portion of the light guiding member and that extends along the light guiding member at an upper side of the light guiding member.

10. The wearable display device according to claim 9 , comprising a first display device for a left eye and a second display device for a right eye, wherein

the first display device includes the display element, the circuit board, the outer case, and the heat insulating structure,

the second display device includes, separately from the first display device, the display element, the circuit board, the outer case, and the heat insulating structure,

in the first display device, the display element is fixed to the second case member of the outer case, and the circuit board is fixed to the first case member of the outer case,

in the second display device, the display element is fixed to the second case member of the outer case, and the circuit board is fixed to the first case member of the outer case; and

the first case member of the first display device and the first case member of the second display device are coupled via the front frame.

11. A wearable display device comprising:

a first circuit;

a second circuit;

an outer case including a first case member and a second case member, the first case member being configured to dissipate heat generated by the first circuit to outside, the second case member being disposed farther to a wearer side than the first case member is and configured to dissipate heat generated by the second circuit to outside;

a heat insulating structure disposed between the first case member and the second case member;

a heat insulator configured to suppress heat transfer from the first circuit to the second case member, wherein the heat insulating structure and the heat insulator are separate members; and

a heat dissipation member configured to couple the second circuit and the second case member.

12. The wearable display device according to claim 11 , wherein

the first circuit is a signal processing circuit that does not include light emission; and

the second circuit includes a light emitting layer and a drive circuit of a display element.
