Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mirror display, a half mirror plate, and an electronic device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mirror display that is compatible with a mirror mode that functions as a mirror and a display mode that displays an image, a half mirror plate used in the mirror display, and an electronic apparatus using the mirror display.
- FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram showing a display state when the power is turned on and a display state when the power is turned off in a conventional general display device.
- a display state when the power is turned on and a display state when the power is turned off in a conventional general display device.
- an image is displayed in the display area A, and an area called a frame or bezel (frame area B) on the outer periphery of the display area A does not contribute to display.
- frame area B an area on the outer periphery of the display area A
- the frame area B on the outer periphery of the display area A does not contribute to display.
- the display device 102 in the power-off state no image is displayed in the display area A, and the frame area B does not contribute to display.
- Such a conventional general display device is not useful for the user because the screen is only black or gray when the power is off, such as when the power is off.
- the conventional general display device has an existence value only recognized at the time of display.
- a mirror display that can be used as a mirror when not displayed by providing a half mirror plate on the front surface of the display device has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4). It can be used as a mirror other than the display that is the purpose of the above. That is, in the mirror display, display is performed when the display light is emitted from the display device and in the area where the display light is emitted from the display device, while the display light is emitted from the display device. When it is not, and in a region where display light is not emitted from the display device, it is used as a mirror by reflecting external light.
- the frame area in the mirror mode can be made larger than the display area in the display mode. Therefore, the practicality as a mirror can be enhanced by effectively utilizing the frame area. Moreover, the design property at the time of a display mode may improve by providing the function as a mirror to a frame area.

However, it may be easy to ensure economic efficiency.

- an antireflection film is not disposed on the observation surface side of the glass plate 12.
- the thickness of the glass plate 12 is not limited to 2.5 mm mentioned above, and may be thinner or thicker than that.
- an acrylic resin transparent plate may be used instead of the glass plate 12, for example.
- the reflective polarizing plate 13a for example, a multilayer reflective polarizing plate, a nanowire grid polarizing plate, or a reflective polarizing plate using selective reflection of cholesteric liquid crystal can be used.
- a multilayer reflective polarizing plate (trade name: DBEF) manufactured by Sumitomo 3M Limited was used.

- a part of the light traveling through the display area A is reflected at the interface between the air layer 6a and the AGLR film 14d, and most of the remaining light is in the liquid crystal display device 5d. It is absorbed by the absorption polarizing plates 10a and 10f and the color filter, and the remaining part is reflected by internal reflection of the liquid crystal display device 5d.
- both the display area A and the frame area B exhibit substantially the same reflectance, and the boundary line between the display area A and the frame area B is not visually recognized.
- the display area A was provided in the display area A rather than the reflectance of the AG film 18 provided in the frame area B. Since the reflectance of the AGLR film 14d is lower, it is possible to compensate even a slight difference in reflectance between the display area A and the frame area B caused by the internal reflection of the liquid crystal display device 5d being not zero. is there. For this reason, the effect that the boundary line of the display area A and the frame area B becomes even less visible is obtained.
- the internal reflection of the liquid crystal display device 5d refers to reflection from the inside of the liquid crystal display device 5d, which is considered to be caused by a transparent electrode made of indium tin oxide (ITO) or the like, a thin film transistor (TFT) element, a metal bus line, or the like. In general, it is about 0.5 to 2.0% when measured through an absorption type linear polarizing plate. It is called internal reflection to distinguish it from surface reflection that is determined by the outermost material and surface treatment. That is, even when the surface of the polarizing plate is subjected to an ideal antireflection treatment with a reflectance of 0%, the reflectance of the liquid crystal display device does not become 0%, but is 0.5 to 2.0% as described above. This is called internal reflection of the liquid crystal display device (or liquid crystal panel). On the other hand, when the internal reflection of the black acrylic plate 17 is considered similarly, it is 0%.

- the reflectance of the display area A When the reflectance of the display area A is made lower than the reflectance of the frame area B in consideration of operating the mirror mode with the power supply of the liquid crystal display device turned on, the reflectance of the display area A and the frame area B
- the optimum range of the difference depends on conditions such as the brightness of the liquid crystal display device, the contrast, and the illuminance of the environment using the mirror display.
- the reflectance of the display region A (specified by the reflectance below the reflective polarizing plate) is the reflectance of the frame region B (specified by the reflectance below the reflective polarizing plate).
- it is preferably 0.5% or more and 3% or less. Thereby, it becomes possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the boundary line between the display area A and the frame area B in both the power-off state and the power-on state.

実施例51は、ハーフミラープレートに、2つの反射型偏光板、及び、スイッチング用液晶パネルを設けたミラーディスプレイに関し、実施例20との違いは、ハーフミラープレートを表示領域Aのみに設け、額縁領域Bに設けていないこと、及び、反射防止膜14aと黒テープ15を設けていないことである。
実施例52は、ハーフミラープレートに、2つの反射型偏光板、及び、スイッチング用液晶パネルを設けたミラーディスプレイに関し、実施例51との違いは、反射型偏光板13aをハーフミラープレートに設けず、液晶表示装置5aに積層したことである。
実施例49~52において具体例を示して説明したように、下記のミラーディスプレイ(C)によれば、ディスプレイモードとミラーモードの両方で良好な性能を実現でき、特に、ミラーモードにおいて高い反射性能を得ることができる。すなわち、ミラーディスプレイ(C)は、ハーフミラープレートと、上記ハーフミラープレートの裏側に配置された表示装置と、を有するミラーディスプレイであって、上記ハーフミラープレートは、スイッチング用液晶パネル、及び、第一及び第二の反射型偏光板を含むものである。
実施例53は、液晶表示装置のバックライトとしてローカルディミングバックライトを採用したミラーディスプレイ、及び、表示光制御装置を備えた電子機器に関し、実施例28との違いは、実施例1のミラーディスプレイ4a’に代えて、ミラーディスプレイ40Aを用いたことである。ミラーディスプレイ40Aは、ハーフミラープレートを表示領域Aのみに設け、額縁領域Bに設けていないこと、及び、反射防止膜14aと黒テープ15を設けていないことにおいて、ミラーディスプレイ4a’と異なる。
実施例54は、液晶表示装置のバックライトとしてローカルディミングバックライトを採用したミラーディスプレイ、及び、表示光制御装置を備えた電子機器に関し、実施例53との違いは、ミラーディスプレイ40Aに代えて、ミラーディスプレイ41Aを用いたことである。ミラーディスプレイ41Aは、液晶表示装置5aに積層された反射型偏光板13aのみをハーフミラープレートとして用いるものである。
実施例53及び54において具体例を示して説明したように、下記の電子機器(A)によれば、表示装置からの漏れ光がミラー領域のミラー性能を劣化させることを防止でき、例えば、同時刻、同一面内で、ある領域はミラーモード、その他の領域はディスプレイモードとして動作させる機能を提供する場合に好適に用いることができる。すなわち、電子機器(A)は、ハーフミラープレートと、上記ハーフミラープレートの裏側に配置された表示装置と、表示領域を複数の領域に分割して制御する制御装置と、を有する電子機器であって、上記制御装置は、上記複数の領域の中から、画像を表示する領域を選択することにより、画像の表示範囲及び位置を変更できるものである。
以下に、本発明に係るミラーディスプレイの好適な態様の例を挙げる。各例は、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において適宜組み合わされてもよい。
