Liquid crystal display with first and second transparent resin layers having at least one different characteristic
View Patent ↗In a liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal layer, a pair of substrates between which the liquid crystal layer is arranged, a pair of polarizing plates arranged between which the substrates are arranged, and a light source arranged at an outside of the polarizing plates, the liquid crystal display further comprises a first transparent resin layer arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the light source and a second transparent resin layer to be arranged between the viewer and the liquid crystal layer, and a linear thermal expansion coefficient of the first transparent resin layer is smaller than that of the second transparent resin layer.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal layer, a pair of substrates between which the liquid crystal layer is arranged, a pair of polarizing plates arranged between which the substrates are arranged, and a light source arranged at an outside of the polarizing plates,
wherein the liquid crystal display further comprises a first transparent resin layer being one of (A) arranged between the substrate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the light source and the polarizing plate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the light source and (B) arranged between the light source and the polarizing plate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the light source, and a second transparent resin layer being one of (C) arranged between the substrate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and a viewer of the liquid crystal display and the polarizing plate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the viewer and (D) arranged between the viewer and the polarizing plate arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the viewer, and
wherein the first and second transparent resin layers are different from each other in at least one characteristic of at least one of hardness, thickness and linear thermal expansion coefficient.
2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the first transparent resin layer is smaller than the second transparent resin layer in the linear thermal expansion coefficient.
3. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , further comprises a transparent adhesive layer between at least one of the first and second transparent resin layers and the substrate, and another transparent adhesive layer between at least one of the first and the one of the second transparent resin layers and the polarizing plate.
4. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second transparent resin layers is adhesive.
5. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate to be arranged between the liquid crystal layer and the viewer has a surface to face to the viewer, and the surface is formed by a treated layer.
6. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein a hardness of the first transparent resin layer is not more than 30 as measured by type A durometer.
7. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first transparent resin layer is not less than 0.1 mm and not more than 5 mm.
8. The liquid crystal display according to claim 7 , wherein a thickness of the first transparent resin layer is not less than 0.2 mm and not more than 5 mm.
