Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of displaying an appropriate display image corresponding to a position of an observer. A display device includes a detection electrode, a first screen, and a second screen on a side opposite to the first screen. A distance between the detection electrode and the first screen is longer than a distance between the detection electrode and the second screen, or a dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the first screen is lower than a dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the second screen, or the distance between the detection electrode and the first screen is longer than the distance between the detection electrode and the second screen and the dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the first screen is lower than the dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the second screen.

Claims (23)

1. A display device comprising:

a detection electrode;

a first screen;

a second screen on a side opposite to the first screen; and

a controller,

wherein the controller includes, as thresholds for a detected value from the detection electrode, a first threshold, a second threshold larger than the first threshold, and a third threshold larger than the second threshold,

when the detected value is in a first range between the first threshold and the second threshold, the controller determines that the first screen has been touched,

when the detected value is in a second range between the second threshold and the third threshold, the controller determines that the second screen has been touched,

when the detected value is in a third range equal to or larger than the third threshold, the controller determines that the first screen and the second screen have been touched, and

wherein the controller makes the determination when the detected value is continuously in the first range, the second range, or the third range for a predetermined number of consecutive frames or more,

wherein a distance between the detection electrode and the first screen is longer than a distance between the detection electrode and the second screen, or

a dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the first screen is lower than a dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the second screen, or

the distance between the detection electrode and the first screen is longer than the distance between the detection electrode and the second screen, and the dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the first screen is lower than the dielectric constant between the detection electrode and the second screen.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller makes the determination when a portion having a predetermined area or more has been touched.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the controller determines that the first screen has been touched, the controller performs display on the first screen side,

when the controller determines that the second screen has been touched, the controller performs display on the second screen side, and

when the controller determines that the first screen and the second screen have been touched, the controller keeps a displayed screen.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a transparent display having the first screen and the second screen.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a transparent display having the first screen and the second screen.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the transparent display includes a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC).

7. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the transparent display includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED).

8. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a transparent display having the first screen and the second screen.
