Abstract
A display device includes a display unit having a display surface to display an image, a cover panel stacked on the display surface of the display unit, and a holding frame stacked on a back surface of the display unit. The display surface of the display unit and the cover panel are bonded to each other with an optical adhesive material. The holding frame and the display unit are bonded to each other with a variable thickness adhesive material a thickness of which is variable at least at a time of bonding the holding frame and the display unit.
Claims7
A display device comprising:
- a display unit having a display surface to display an image, and a back surface opposite to the display surface;
- a cover panel stacked on the display surface of the display unit;
- and
- a holding frame stacked on the back surface of the display unit, the holding frame having a central portion facing the display unit and holding the display unit, wherein
- the display surface of the display unit and the cover panel are bonded to each other with an optical adhesive material,
- the holding frame and the display unit are bonded to each other with a variable thickness adhesive material a thickness of which is variable at least at a time of bonding the holding frame and the display unit,
- the variable thickness adhesive material includes an adhesive agent,
- the holding frame has an adhesive surface facing the display unit and on which the adhesive agent is adhered, and a plurality of projection portions projecting from the adhesive surface toward the display unit, and
- the adhesive agent bonds the adhesive surface of the holding frame and the display unit to each other at positions other than the projection portions, and the projection portions are in contact with the display unit.
A method for manufacturing a display device, comprising:
- bonding a cover panel to a display surface of a display unit with an optical adhesive material to produce a panel-bonded display unit;
- connecting a holding frame and a design frame to each other to produce a housing unit;
- and
- integrating the panel-bonded display unit and the housing unit by bonding the holding frame of the housing unit and the display unit of the panel-bonded display unit with a variable thickness adhesive material a thickness of which is variable, wherein a central portion of the holding frame faces the display unit to hold the display unit, and the design frame covers a side surface of the display unit,
- the variable thickness adhesive material is an adhesive agent,
- the holding frame has an adhesive surface facing the display unit and on which the adhesive agent is adhered, and a plurality of projection portions projecting from the adhesive surface toward the display unit, and
- in the integrating, the adhesive agent is applied to an area between the projection portions on the adhesive surface of the holding frame, and the panel-bonded display unit is bonded on the housing unit in a state where the housing unit is placed under the panel-bonded display unit, after the adhesive agent is applied.
