A flat panel display device comprising a backboard and a display panel fitted therewith is provided. The edge of the backboard is structured as a barrier wall extending perpendicular to the body of the backboard. A stepped groove is arranged on the interior face of the barrier wall for supporting the display panel and forming accommodating space between the display panel and the body of the backboard. The stepped groove extends from an outer end of the barrier wall towards the body of the backboard, and the depth of the stepped groove is consistent with the thickness of the display panel. The backboard is made of plastic plate containing a enhancing element. The flat panel display device according to the present disclosure can be designed as a light and thin display device with no frame, and thus is suitable for making an all-in-one machine.

A direct-lit type backlight source includes a backplate and a point light source array disposed on the backplate. A light output shape of a first optical lens employed by each of point light sources of corner regions of the point light source array and that of a second optical lens employed by each of a plurality of point light sources of the non-corner region are different. For instance, the light output shape of the first optical lens is symmetrical in a first direction and asymmetrical in a vertical second direction. Moreover, a liquid crystal television adopting the direct-lit type backlight source is provided. The light-output shape of the optical lens adopted by each of the point light sources of the respective corners is designed to illuminate the corners uncovered by light source in the prior art, which can improve optical uniformity of the corners.

Provided is a display device including an image display unit configured to display an image with a plurality of pixels arranged on a display surface, an eyepiece optical unit configured to project the display surface of the image display unit in a manner that a predetermined angle of view is obtained, and an image correction unit configured to correct a display image on the display surface at a position of each of representative pixels which are discretely located on the display surface, on the basis of distortion generated due to the eyepiece optical unit.

An display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may includes a display panel on which an image is output; and a calibration device which is mounted on a rear surface of the display panel. The calibration device includes a housing, a drive motor which is disposed on an inside portion or an outside portion of the housing, a link assembly which is accommodated in the inside portion of the housing, which is capable of being withdrawn to the outside of the housing by power provided form the drive motor and which is provided to be capable of being bent or being rotated, and an photographing unit which is mounted on an end of the link assembly and photographs the image displayed on the display panel.

A playback apparatus to play back content data including sound data includes an instruction operating portion to detect an instruction operation that instructs execution of prescribed processing, a hold operating portion to detect a hold setting operation that sets a state of not accepting the instruction operation to the instruction operating portion, a state control portion to set the state of not accepting the instruction operation to the instruction operating portion if the hold setting operation is detected by the hold operating portion, and a video processing portion to perform processing for displaying a video. If the video processing portion performs processing for displaying the video when the hold setting operation is detected, the state control portion controls the video processing portion to suspend at least a part of processing for displaying the video.

If the video processing portion performs processing for displaying the video when the hold setting operation is detected, the state control portion controls the video processing portion to suspend at least a part of processing for displaying the video.

Provided is a display apparatus including: a display panel; an exterior member made up of a plurality of separated bezels each disposed on a front surface side of a peripheral portion of the display panel; and at least one joint members disposed on inner sides of the bezels at at least one portion where the bezels are separated so as to connect the adjacent bezels, wherein each of the joint members has a first portion having elasticity and supporting a lower end of the display panel, and a second portion having higher rigidity than the first portion and making contact with the inner side of the bezel.

A display device includes a curved display module which includes a signal receiver receiving an image signal from an outside source, an image display part displaying an image corresponding to the image signal and being curved, and a frame surrounding at least a portion of an edge of the image display part and a stand which includes a signal transmitter transmitting the image signal and a coupling part in which a curved groove is defined where a portion of the curved display module is accommodated in the groove.

An illumination device, including: a light source; a light guide plate having a light-entering face into which light from the light source enters and a light-exiting surface; a reflective sheet covering at least a portion on a light-entering face side of a bottom surface of the light guide plate; a chassis on a side of the reflective sheet opposite to the light guide plate, including at least a plate-shaped portion along the bottom surface of the light guide plate and a cut-out in the plate-shaped portion on the light-entering face side; and an opposite-side member on a side of the chassis opposite to the light guide plate, including a protrusion protruding from a light guide plate-side of a top surface of the opposite-side member through the cut-out towards the light guide plate, a top of the protrusion supporting a portion of the reflective sheet on the light-entering face side.

A display apparatus and a display method using the same are provided. The display apparatus includes a curved display, a guide member on which the curved display is mounted to slidably move and configured to provide a curved concave path formed with respect to a user, and a driver configured to move the curved display along the guide member. The guide member includes left and right frames vertically disposed at intervals, a lower rail of which both ends are coupled to lower ends of the left and right frames, and an upper rail of which both ends are coupled to upper ends of the left and right frames and which is parallel to the lower rail.
