Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a touch display device having a sterilizing device.

The present invention relates to a touch display device having a sterilizing device.

In recent years, the educational environment has changed rapidly due to the digital environment. For example, digital textbooks have been widely used, and educational environments using various multimedia devices have been rapidly spreading. Such a multimedia device recognizes the touch of a finger or a pen and employs a touch display that displays various images or pictures. Examples of multimedia devices using touch displays include smart phones, tablet PCs, kiosks, and electronic blackboards.

The electronic board can perform various functions necessary for lectures, such as presenting lecture contents or presentation contents on the screen, providing writing and writing functions. In addition, in order to perform the above-described various functions, a touch of a finger or a pen may be detected.

Recently, various exchanges with foreign countries are spreading, and it is very important to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Unlike smartphones, TVs and PCs, however, electronic blackboards are used in public places such as classrooms and conference rooms, and can be used by various users. In particular, since the electronic board frequently touches by hand and is used in close proximity, the electronic board may be contaminated by the user's hand or body fluids. As a result, pathogens may spread through the hands or body fluids. Kiosks, which are multimedia devices, are also used in the air, so pathogens may spread like electronic boards.

In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to sterilize the touch board employed in the electronic blackboard or kiosk. However, until now, the user has to clean the touch board by himself to remove the fluids that contaminated the touch board. However, this is very troublesome and may seem sterile even though it looks clean.

The following Prior Art 1 discloses an electronic whiteboard, but since it does not disclose sterilization, countermeasures against contamination of the electronic whiteboard have not been disclosed.
