Abstract
A touch panel-attached display device including: a display panel; a case having electric conductivity which is provided with an opening exposing a screen area of the display panel, the case which houses the display panel inside; and a touch panel fixed to the case on a front side of the case so as to face the opening of the case, wherein the case includes a projection formed in such a manner that a part of the case projects toward the front side from a front surface thereof, and the touch panel is fixed to the case in such a manner that a lateral surface of the touch panel and the projection face each other.
Claims9
A touch panel-attached display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- a case having electric conductivity which houses the display panel and which is provided with an opening exposing a screen area of the display panel;
- and
- a touch panel fixed to the case on a front side of the case so as to face the opening of the case;
- wherein the case includes a projection projecting outward from a front surface of the case;
- wherein the touch panel comprises an electrically conductive film disposed on a surface of an insulating substrate, and the touch panel is fixed to the case in such a manner that a lateral surface of the touch panel and the projection face each other;
- and
- wherein the projection is substantially triangular in shape and is formed by bending a part of a front board of the case toward the front side of the case so that a back surface of the part of the front board of the case faces the lateral surface of the touch panel, and the projection leans to the touch panel in such a manner that a tip end part of the projection is closer to the lateral surface of the touch panel than a base end part of the projection, a tip of the projection touches the lateral surface of the touch panel, and a level of the tip of the projection is equal to a level of the electrically conductive film, said base end part being connected to the front surface of the case.
An antistatic structure comprising:
- a case having electric conductivity which houses the display panel and which is provided with an opening exposing a screen area of the display panel;
- and
- a flat electric member fixed to the case on a front side of the case so as to face the opening of the case;
- wherein the case includes a projection projecting outward from a front surface of the case;
- wherein the electric member comprises an electrically conductive film disposed on a surface of an insulating substrate, and the electric member is fixed to the case in such a manner that a lateral surface of the electric member and the projection face each other;
- and
- wherein the projection is substantially triangular in shape and is formed by bending a part of a front board of the case toward the front side of the case so that a back surface of the part of the front board of the case faces the lateral surface of the electric member, and the projection leans to the touch panel in such a manner that a tip end part of the projection is closer to the lateral surface of the electric member than a base end part of the projection, a tip of the projection touches the lateral surface of the electric member, and a level of the tip of the projection is equal to a level of the electrically conductive film, said base end part being connected to the front surface of the case.
