Disposing a functional device such as a camera on a display surface widens a frame. A display device () includes a display panel (DP) including a first substrate (). The display panel has a transparent section (TS) from which display light does not go out and which has a partial region () of the first substrate. In plan view, the transparent section which is larger than a pixel (PX) is disposed on an inner side of an edge of a display area () or is disposed to cut out the display area. The display panel has a back surface on which a functional device (FD) configured to perform at least one of light reception or light emission is disposed to overlap the transparent section.

Display device with hollowed part in backlight

A display device includes a display panel including an opening through which no display light is emitted, and a polarizer provided on a back face side of the display panel, the polarizer including an opening at a position overlapping the opening, and a light source, in which at least a side face at the opening is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the display panel.

Display device and method for manufacturing same

A display device includes a color filter substrate, an array substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a protection layer, and a plurality of main spacers. The color filter substrate includes a display region, a hole frame region, and a hole region. Further, in a thickness direction of the hole region of the color filter, an organic flattening film is present on a surface of the array substrate on the color filter substrate side at parts corresponding to positions of the main spacers.

Display device

In an image display device including an image taking window portion, the image taking window portion for an image taking camera is disposed within the image display region, and an outer diameter of a frame portion is set to satisfy a specific condition based on an angle of view of the image taking camera.

Image display device

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can prevent a camera image from being adversely affected by the birefringence of external polarized light which enters a camera through the liquid crystal layer. In a liquid crystal display device (A), light to enter a camera () passes through a part of a liquid crystal panel (A). The liquid crystal panel (A) is configured so that the first part of the liquid crystal layer (), which first part is located in the camera light transmissive region (S) allowing the light to enter the camerato pass therethrough, has a retardation Rrepresented by the following formula: R=m&#x3bb; (where (i) m is a positive integer and (ii) &#x3bb; is a wavelength of the light passing through the liquid crystal layer). A second part of the liquid crystal layer (), which second part is located in a non-camera light transmissive region (S) excluding the camera light transmissive region (S), has a retardation Rrepresented by the following formula: R/2(2k+1) (where k is 0 or an integer).

Liquid crystal display device

It is possible to cause a display device to achieve an increased light transmittance for light to reach an imaging element. A display device having a see-through panel structure includes: a display panel; a protection plate provided on a front side of the display panel; an imaging element provided on a back side of the display panel; a second polarizer provided between the display panel and the protection plate; and a transparent material with which a hole passing through the second polarizer is filled.

A display device has a display area in a non-rectangular shape, and in the display device, a plurality of rectangular-shaped pixels are arranged in the display area and a non-display area, each pixel being composed of a plurality of subpixels that correspond to a plurality of colors, respectively. The display device includes a brightness value adjustment unit that, during image display, adjusts a brightness value of a boundary pixel that is partially included in the display area and is partially included in the non-display area, in such a manner that the brightness value of the boundary pixel is between a brightness value of a pixel whose subpixels are all included in the non-display area and a brightness value of a pixel that is adjacent to the boundary pixel and whose subpixels are all included in the 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 &#x3c6;p of the image pickup window part is set so as to satisfy a specific condition which is based on an angle of view &#x3b8; of the image pickup camera.
