Abstract

A mobile phone is provided which includes a liquid crystal display device in which a front window and a touch panel are bonded together with an adhesive sheet, wherein a logo having plural layers is formed on a back side of the front window. A touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is mounted to the touch panel. A plane distance between an end portion of the plural layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is set to greater than zero. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a peeling stress on the adhesive sheet, even if a thickness of the adhesive sheet is smaller than the sum of a thickness of the touch-panel flexible wiring substrate and a thickness of the logo.

Claims (28)

1. A mobile phone comprising:

a front window including a logo; and

a touch panel which is bonded to the front window,

wherein the touch panel and the front window are bonded together with an adhesive sheet,

wherein a touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein the logo comprises a plurality of layers and is formed on an inner surface of the front window, which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein a portion of the plurality of layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the plurality of layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that said one of the plurality of layers does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.

2. The mobile phone according to claim 1 , wherein, when a thickness of the adhesive sheet is d 1 , a thickness of the portion of the plurality of layers of the logo is d 2 , and a thickness of the touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is d 3 , the relationship d 1 <d 2 +d 3 is established.

3. The mobile phone according to claim 1 , wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the plurality of layers of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than 0.3 mm.

4. A mobile phone comprising:

a front window including a logo; and

a touch panel which is bonded to the front window,

wherein the touch panel and the front window are bonded together with an adhesive sheet,

wherein a touch-panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed on an inner surface of the front window, which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed by two layers including a first layer and a second layer from the side of the front window,

wherein a portion of the two layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the second layer of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that the second layer does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.

5. A mobile phone comprising:

a front window including a logo; and

a touch panel which is bonded to the front window,

wherein the touch panel flexible wiring substrate is connected to a specific side of the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed on an inner surface of the front window, which inner surface faces the touch panel,

wherein the logo is formed by three layers including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer from the side of the front window,

wherein an end portion of the second layer is covered by the third layer,

wherein a portion of the three layers of the logo is provided on a first portion of the inner surface of the front window which is outside of a second portion of the inner surface of the front window which is covered by the adhesive sheet, and

wherein a plane distance between an end portion of the second layer of the logo and an end portion of the touch panel is greater than zero so that the second layer does not overlap the touch panel in a plane view.
