Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image display apparatus according to embodiments includes a display that includes a planar display surface on which an image is displayed, a cover member that includes a curved operation surface being a target for a touch operation, and a touch sensor that detecting the touch operation with respect to the operation surface. Between the cover member and the display, a clear resin body is arranged that is a transmission body that fills a space between the cover member and the display so that the space is not hollow.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An image display apparatus that accepts a touch operation, comprising: a display that includes a planar display surface on which an image is displayed; a cover member that includes a curved first principal surface, the first principal surface being arranged to overlap with the display surface of the display and being a target for the touch operation; a transmission body that fills a space between the cover member and the display so that the space is not hollow: and a touch sensor that is arranged between the cover member and the display, the touch sensor detecting the touch operation with respect to the first principal surface of the cover member, wherein the first principal surface of the cover member is a curved surface that is curved in two or more directions that are mutually different, wherein a second principal surface opposite to the first principal surface of the cover member is a curved surface that is curved in only one direction, and wherein the touch sensor is placed along the second principal surface. 2. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second principal surface of the cover member is substantially a same as that of the first principal surface in the one direction. 3. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising one polarizing member that is arranged between the touch sensor and the cover member. 4. The image display apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising another polarizing member that is arranged between the display and the transmission body and whose polarization direction is a same as that of the one polarizing member. 5. The image display apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the polarizing member is a reflective polarizing member. 6. The image display apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising a reflective polarizing member that is laminated over the display while placing the polarizing member therebetween. 7. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first principal surface of the cover member has a curved shape in which the first principal surface is continuous with a crooked surface on which the image display apparatus is mounted in an interior of a vehicle.
