Abstract
A display device includes a display panel, and a cover member with which the display panel is covered. The cover member includes a second main surface facing the display panel, a first main surface opposite to the second main surface, and an end surface connecting the first main surface to the second main surface. A line D is defined as an imaginary line that passes through an edge E formed by the first main surface and the end surface, and members of a first layer to a nth layer (n: an inter of 2 or more) are arranged on the line D, the cover member being the first layer. A gap exists in a part between the cover member and the member of the nth layer. The display device satisfies the specific relations (1) to (3).
Claims16
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel;
- and
- a cover member with which the display panel is covered, wherein:
- the cover member includes a second main surface which faces the display panel, a first main surface which is opposite to the second main surface, and an end surface which connects the first main surface to the second main surface;
- a line D is defined as an imaginary line that passes through an edge E formed by the first main surface of the cover member and the end surface of the cover member, and members of a first layer to a nth layer are arranged on the line D, the cover member being the first layer and n being an integer of 2 or more;
- a gap exists in a part between the cover member and the member of the nth layer;
- and
- the following relations (1) to (3) are satisfied:
- B1=b1+b2<1.33 (1)
- b1=(0.0982G+3.3083)K+0.1427G+0.3651 (2)
- b2=0.1401G+0.5424 (3)
- where G is a gap length of the gap, in mm, in a thickness direction of the cover member in a region through which the line D passes, and K in the relation (2) is defined as follows:
- K=E1t12/(E1t12+ . . . +Entn2)
- where E1 is Young's modulus, in GPa, of the cover member, t1 is a thickness, in mm, of the cover member, En is Young's modulus, in GPa, of the member of the nth layer, and tn is a length of the member of the nth layer, in mm, in the thickness direction of the cover member in the region through which the line D passes.
