Abstract
Provided is a display device or a display system capable of displaying images along a curved surface, a display device or a display system capable of displaying images seamlessly in the form of a ring, or a display device or a display system that is suitable for increasing in size. The display device includes a display panel. The display panel includes a first part and a second part and is flexible. The first part can display images. The second part can transmit visible light. The display panel is curved so that the second part and the first part overlap with each other.
Claims18
A display device comprising:
- a display panel,
- wherein the display panel comprises a display region and a light-transmitting region adjacent to the display region,
- wherein the display panel is flexible,
- wherein the display panel is curved to form a ring so that the light-transmitting region at one end of the display panel overlaps with a display surface side of the display region,
- wherein the display device is in the form of a cylinder, and
- wherein the display surface side of the display region faces inward.
A display device comprising:
- a first display panel;
- and
- a second display panel,
- wherein the first display panel comprises a first display region and a first light-transmitting region adjacent to the first display region,
- wherein the second display panel comprises a second display region and a second light-transmitting region adjacent to the second display region,
- wherein the first display panel and the second display panel are flexible,
- wherein the first display panel and the second display panel are joined to form a ring so that the first light-transmitting region at one end of the first display panel overlaps with a display surface side of the second display region and the second light-transmitting region at one end of the second display panel overlaps with a display surface side of the first display region,
- wherein the display device is in the form of a cylinder, and
- wherein the display surface side of the first display region and the display surface side of the second display region face inward.
A display device comprising:
- a first display panel to an n-th display panel, where n is an integer of more than 2,
- wherein the first display panel comprises a first display region and a first light-transmitting region adjacent to the first display region,
- wherein a second display panel comprises a second display region and a second light-transmitting region adjacent to the second display region,
- wherein the n-th display panel comprises an n-th display region and an n-th light-transmitting region adjacent to the n-th display region,
- wherein the first display panel to the n-th display panel are flexible,
- wherein the first display panel to the n-th display panel are joined to form a ring so that the first light-transmitting region at one end of the first display panel overlaps with a display surface side of the second display region and the n-th light-transmitting region at one end of the n-th display panel overlaps with a display surface side of the first display region,
- wherein the display device is in the form of a cylinder, and
- wherein each display surface of the first display panel to the n-th display panel faces inward.
