Abstract
A displaying apparatus includes a displaying panel, a back light device, and a structural frame fixing the both. The displaying panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate joined onto the first substrate, a light-masking structure, and a plurality of light modulation units. The light-masking structure and the light modulation units are disposed between the substrates. An edge of the second substrate is aligned with a corresponding edge of the first substrate. The light modulation units are disposed corresponding to a plurality of light-penetrating portions of the light-masking structure, for controlling whether light passes through the displaying panel to generate plane images. The light-masking structure wholly covers an edge portion including the edge of the second substrate. The displaying panel can directly use the light-masking structure to perform as a border frame for shielding the interior structure and light emitted from the interior without external covers or frames.
