However, the above-mentioned display device has a problem that the design is poor because the plurality of display devices arranged in the left-right direction have a feeling of left-right asymmetry.
The present invention has been made in view of this problem, and provides a display device having a symmetrical feeling and excellent design even if a plurality of display devices arranged side by side have different sizes. is there.

The present invention relates to a first display 10 having a first width W1 and a first height H1 and a second width W2 larger than the first width W1 or a second height H1 larger than the first width W1. A second display 20 having a large second vertical width W2, a protective panel member 40 arranged on the front side of the first display 10 and the second display 20, and the protective panel member. A first decorative member 61 arranged on the front side and a second decorative member 62 arranged on the front side of the protective panel member 40 are provided, and the protective panel member 40 is the first display. The first decorative member 61 and the second decorative member 62 have a first window portion 44a for seeing through 10 and a second window portion and 44b for seeing through the second display 20. The first decorative member 61 and the second decorative member 62 have the same shape and are arranged line-symmetrically, while having open ends 61a and 62a.

Since the first decorative member and the second decorative member are arranged line-symmetrically, even if the size of the first display and the size of the second display are different, it is possible to give a symmetrical impression. it can.

The front view which shows the embodiment of this invention. The cross-sectional view which shows the said embodiment. The block diagram which shows the same embodiment.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a vehicle display device will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The vehicle display device includes a liquid crystal display panel (first display panel) 10, a liquid crystal display panel (second display panel) 20, a circuit board 30, a protective panel member 40, a housing 50, and a decorative member (first decoration). A member) 61 and a decorative member (second decorative member) 62 are provided.

The liquid crystal display panel 10 is composed of a segment type LCD panel in which polarizing members are attached to both front and rear surfaces of a liquid crystal cell in which a liquid crystal is enclosed in a pair of translucent substrates on which transparent electrodes are formed. The liquid crystal display panel 10 has a predetermined horizontal width W1 and vertical width H1. The liquid crystal display panel 10 has a vertically long rectangular shape in which the vertical width H1 is larger than the horizontal width W1. The liquid crystal display panel 10 is transmitted and illuminated by a light emitting element 31 mounted on the circuit board 30.

The liquid crystal display panel 10 has a vehicle speed display unit 11 for displaying the vehicle speed and a rotation speed display unit 12 for displaying the engine speed. The vehicle speed display unit 11 digitally displays the vehicle speed. The rotation speed display unit 12 is an arc-shaped bar graph along the decorative member 61. A colored transparent plate 15 is attached to the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel 10.

The liquid crystal display panel 20 comprises a TFT type LCD panel and an LCD module having a backlight. The horizontal width W2 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is larger than the horizontal width W1 of the liquid crystal display panel 10, and the vertical width H2 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is the same as the vertical width H1 of the liquid crystal display panel 10. The liquid crystal display panel 20 has a horizontally long rectangular shape in which the width W2 is larger than the height H2.

The liquid crystal display panel 20 has a large number of pixels arranged in a matrix, and displays a power gauge, various alarm information, navigation information, and the like. The liquid crystal display panel 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 by a flexible wiring member (not shown). The liquid crystal display panel 20 has a predetermined horizontal width W2 and vertical width H2. The power gauge displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 20 is an arc-shaped bar graph along the decorative member 62.

The circuit board 30 has a wiring pattern made of copper foil formed on a base material made of glass epoxy resin, and is equipped with a light emitting element 31 and a microcomputer 32. The light emitting element 31 mounted on the circuit board 30 is driven by the microcomputer 32 and illuminates the liquid crystal display panel 10 from the rear surface side. The circuit board 30 is housed in the housing 50.

The protective panel member 40 is formed by printing a light-shielding portion 44 on the rear surface of the translucent substrate 41. The protective panel member 40 is arranged on the front side of the liquid crystal display panel 10 and the liquid crystal display panel 20, and protects the liquid crystal display panel 10 and the liquid crystal display panel 20. The translucent substrate 41 of the protective panel member 40 is made of a flat plate-shaped translucent resin. A light-shielding portion 44 is formed on the rear surface of the translucent substrate 41, and the light-shielding portion 44 includes a window portion 44a for seeing through the screen of the liquid crystal display panel 10 and a window portion 44b for seeing through the screen of the liquid crystal display panel 20. And have.

The housing 50 is made of an opaque resin and houses the liquid crystal display panels 10, 20 and the circuit board 30. A protective panel member 40 is fixed to the front end of the housing 50.

Each of the decorative members 61 and 62 has a substantially C shape having open ends 61a and 62a, and is fixed to the front surface of the protective panel member 40. The decorative member 61 and the decorative member 62 have the same shape. The decorative member 61 and the decorative member 62 are arranged symmetrically with the line C as the axis of symmetry. The open end 61a of the decorative member 61 is on the right side, and the open end 62a of the decorative member 62 is on the left side.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of a vehicle display device. The microcomputer 32 has a CPU 32a, a non-volatile memory 32b, and a volatile memory 32c. The non-volatile memory 32b is made of, for example, a flash memory, and the volatile memory 32c is made of, for example, an SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).

The speed sensor 91 detects the vehicle speed and outputs speed data to the microcomputer 32. The rotation sensor 92 detects the rotation speed of the engine and outputs the rotation speed data to the microcomputer 32. The microcomputer 32 drives the liquid crystal display panels 10, 20 and the light emitting element 31 based on a predetermined program stored in the non-volatile memory 32b.

According to this embodiment, since the decorative member 61 and the decorative member 62 are arranged line-symmetrically, even if the size of the liquid crystal display panel 10 and the size of the liquid crystal display panel 20 are different, the impression is symmetrical. Can be given.

The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the present embodiment, the vertical width H2 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is the same as the vertical width H1 of the liquid crystal display panel 10, but the vertical width H2 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is the vertical width H1 of the liquid crystal display panel 10. It may be different from. Further, the display device does not have to be the liquid crystal display panels 10 and 20, and may be, for example, an organic EL display panel or a pointer type instrument.
