[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2022-061326 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2022-061327 [Patent Document 3] Patent application No. 2022-101683 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] By using the surface panel described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to impart design to a display medium fixed to a wall. In this surface panel, a support is fixed to the wall with a jig or the like so that the decorative sheet is located in front of the display medium. Meanwhile, the display medium (monitor) can be installed in places other than a wall. For example, a monitor that displays information such as the weather is installed on a stand placed inside a building. It is desirable to be able to impart design to monitors that can be installed in various places like this.

[0005] When adding design features to a monitor, a frame may be used, and in this case, the frame may be visible when the monitor screen is viewed.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a monitor cover and a display device that can easily impart a design to a monitor and prevent the edge frame portion from appearing on the outside. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] [1] One aspect of the present invention is a monitor cover to be attached to a monitor having an image display unit, the monitor cover comprising: a transparent plate-like member having a main surface and a back surface opposite the main surface and having visible light transmittance; a decorative sheet including a printing layer on which a picture is printed, having visible light transmittance and provided on the main surface; and a mounting member for holding the transparent plate-like member and the decorative sheet and attaching the monitor to the monitor, the mounting member having a frame portion that surrounds the outer periphery of the transparent plate-like member and the outer periphery of the decorative sheet and holds the transparent plate-like member and the decorative sheet, the frame portion being provided on the back side of the transparent plate-like member, and the frame portion being attachable to the monitor.

[0008] In this monitor cover, the frame portion can be attached to the monitor. In this case, the monitor cover can be attached directly to the monitor without being installed on a wall or stand on which the monitor is installed. Therefore, the monitor cover can be attached to a monitor that can be installed in various locations. Furthermore, a decorative sheet that can be given a design can be positioned in front of the image display unit via the frame portion and the transparent plate-like member. Therefore, this monitor cover can easily give a design to the monitor. In addition, the frame portion that surrounds the outer periphery of the transparent plate-like member and the outer periphery of the decorative sheet is provided on the back side of the transparent plate-like member. Therefore, the frame portion can be hidden on the back side of the decorative sheet. This makes it possible to prevent the frame portion at the edge from appearing in the appearance.

[0009] [2] In the monitor cover of [1] above, the mounting member has a mounting portion that is provided on the frame portion and configured to abut against the monitor, and the mounting portion includes a band that is wrapped around the monitor. With this monitor cover, it is easier to impart a design to the monitor. Also, by removing the band from the monitor, the monitor cover can be removed from the monitor. Therefore, with this monitor cover, the design can be easily changed.

[0010] [3] The monitor cover of [1] or [2] above further comprises a first adhesive layer that bonds the decorative sheet to the main surface of the transparent plate-like member. Thus, with this monitor cover, the decorative sheet can be easily bonded to the transparent plate-like member by the first adhesive layer without being sandwiched between the frame portions.

[0011] [4] The monitor cover according to any one of the above items [1] to [3] further includes a second adhesive layer that bonds the frame portion to the rear surface of the transparent plate-like member. In this case, the transparent plate-like member can be easily bonded to the frame portion by the second adhesive layer.

[0012] [5] In any of the monitor covers [1] to [4] above, the transparent plate member is treated to reduce transmittance. In this case, the transparent plate member can prevent the frame portion from being visible through the transparent plate member and the decorative sheet.

[0013] [6] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a display device. The display device includes a monitor cover according to any one of [1] to [5] above and a monitor, and the monitor cover is attached to the monitor such that the back surface of the transparent plate-like member faces the image display unit by abutting the mounting member against the monitor. Therefore, this display device makes it easy to impart design features to the monitor. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a monitor cover and a display device that can easily impart a design to a monitor and prevent the edge frame portion from appearing on the outside. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] Figure 2 is an oblique view showing the state before and after the monitor cover provided on the display device shown in Figure 1 is attached to the monitor, where (a) is an oblique view showing the state before the monitor cover is attached to the monitor, and (b) is an oblique view showing the state after the monitor cover has been attached to the monitor. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates a decorative sheet provided in the display device shown in FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a front view showing the state before and after a monitor cover is attached to a monitor, where (a) is a front view showing the monitor before the monitor cover is attached, (b) is a front view showing the display device after the monitor cover of the embodiment is attached, and (c) is a front view showing the monitor cover of the comparative example and the display device after attachment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Specific examples of a monitor cover and a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims. In the following description, the same elements in the description of the drawings will be given the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

[0017] Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a display device according to the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a state before and after a monitor cover provided in the display device shown in Fig. 1 is attached to a monitor, (a) is a perspective view showing a state before the monitor cover is attached to the monitor, and (b) is a perspective view showing a state after the monitor cover is attached to the monitor.

[0018] 1, the display device 1 includes a monitor 2 and a monitor cover 3 attached to the monitor 2. The monitor 2 includes an image display section 2a and a bezel 2b (outer frame) positioned around the image display section 2a. The monitor 2 is fixed to a stand B by a fastener F. The stand B is, for example, a portable stand. The monitor 2 may be, for example, a 27-inch display or a 49-inch display, but is not limited thereto.

[0019] The monitor cover 3 includes a transparent plate-like member 4, a decorative sheet 5 that can impart a design, and an attachment member 6. The attachment member 6 has a frame portion 7 and bands 8, 9 (attachment portions). As shown in FIG. 2(a), when the monitor cover 3 is not attached to the monitor 2, the bands 8, 9 are wrapped around the monitor 2, and the monitor cover 3 is attached to the monitor 2 as shown in FIG. 2(b).

[0020] The transparent plate-like member 4 is made of a material with high transparency, and specific examples thereof include acrylic resin, glass, a PET sheet, and polycarbonate. The transparent plate-like member 4 has visible light transparency. As shown in FIG. 1, the transparent plate-like member 4 has a main surface 4a, a first back surface 4b (outer frame portion) and a second back surface 4c (back surface) facing the main surface 4a, and a step 4d located between the first back surface 4b and the second back surface 4c along the normal direction of the main surface 4a. The first back surface 4b is closer to the main surface 4a than the second back surface 4c along the normal direction of the main surface 4a. In other words, the second back surface 4c is located closer to the image display section 2a of the monitor 2 than the first back surface 4b. When viewed from the normal direction of the main surface 4a, the first back surface 4b surrounds the second back surface 4c. The first back surface 4b faces the frame section 7 when the monitor cover 3 is attached to the monitor 2. The second back surface 4c faces the image display unit 2a when the monitor cover 3 is attached to the monitor 2. Therefore, even if the monitor 2 has a bezel 2b, the distance between the transparent plate-shaped member 4 and the image display unit 2a can be shortened. This makes it possible to prevent light from the image display unit 2a from being refracted by the air layer between the transparent plate-shaped member 4 and the image display unit 2a.

[0021] Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic diagram of the decorative sheet 5 included in the display device 1 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the decorative sheet 5 has a first light-transmissive substrate 10 including a surface 10a, a printed layer 11 provided on the surface 10a, a second light-transmissive substrate 12 including a surface 12a, and a concealing layer 13 provided on the surface 12a and in contact with the printed layer 11. The decorative sheet 5 is provided on the main surface 4a so that a surface 12b opposite to the surface 12a of the second light-transmissive substrate 12 is in contact with the main surface 4a. The concealing layer 13 is located between the printed layer 11 and the transparent plate-like member 4.

[0022] The first light-transmissive substrate 10 is made of a material that is visible light transmissive and can withstand heat emitted from the monitor 2. The first light-transmissive substrate 10 is made of, for example, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, acrylic resin, or polycarbonate. The thickness of the first light-transmissive substrate 10 is, for example, 25 μm to 250 μm. When the thickness of the first light-transmissive substrate 10 is 25 μm or more, the decorative sheet 5 has sufficient strength. When the thickness of the first light-transmissive substrate 10 is 250 μm or less, the decorative sheet 5 can be prevented from becoming excessively thick.

[0023] The printed layer 11 is a layer on which a pattern such as a wood grain pattern is printed. The printed layer 11 is made of ink containing at least one pigment of a color selected from the group consisting of cyan, magenta, and yellow. The printed layer 11 can be formed by, for example, inkjet printing, gravure printing, screen printing, or offset printing. The thickness of the printed layer 11 is, for example, 0.5 μm to 20 μm. When the thickness of the printed layer 11 is 0.5 μm or more, even when the image display section 2a is in a black state, the pattern of the printed layer 11 can be more effectively prevented from appearing dark. When the thickness of the printed layer 11 is 20 μm or more, when an image is displayed on the image display section 2a, the printed layer 11 becomes less visible due to light from the image display section 2a, and the image is more clearly visible.

[0024] The second light-transmitting substrate 12 is made of a material that is visible light transmissive and can withstand heat emitted from the monitor 2. The second light-transmitting substrate 12 is made of, for example, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, acrylic resin, or polycarbonate. The thickness of the second light-transmitting substrate 12 is, for example, 25 μm to 250 μm. When the thickness of the second light-transmitting substrate 12 is 25 μm or more, the decorative sheet 5 has sufficient strength. When the thickness of the second light-transmitting substrate 12 is 250 μm or less, the decorative sheet 5 can be prevented from becoming excessively thick.

[0025] The concealing layer 13 is a layer that suppresses the configuration of the monitor 2 from being seen through. The concealing layer 13 can be formed on the second light-transmitting substrate 12 by, for example, inkjet printing, gravure printing, screen printing, or offset printing. The concealing layer 13 is formed, for example, using a white ink containing titanium oxide. In this case, the thickness of the concealing layer 13 is, for example, 1 μm to 20 μm. When the thickness of the concealing layer 13 is 1 μm or more, even if the image display section 2a is in a black state, the pattern of the printed layer 11 can be suppressed from appearing dark to a higher degree. When the thickness of the concealing layer 13 is 20 μm or less, when an image is displayed on the image display section 2a, the printed layer 11 becomes less visible due to light from the image display section 2a, and the image is more clearly visible.

[0026] The concealing layer 13 may be formed using an ink containing an interference pigment or aluminum paste. In this case, the thickness of the concealing layer 13 is, for example, 3 μm to 30 μm. This can more effectively prevent the pattern of the printed layer 11 from appearing dark even when the image display section 2a is black. Furthermore, when an image is displayed on the image display section 2a, the printed layer 11 becomes less visible due to the light from the image display section 2a, and the image is more clearly visible. As the interference pigment, known materials can be used, such as various pigments coated with metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide-coated mica, fish scale foil, and pigments having pearlescent or interference luster, such as bismuth oxychloride. These interference pigments are dispersed in binder resins such as polyvinyl acetate, vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymers, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacetal, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene / (meth)acrylic acid copolymers, α-olefin / maleic anhydride copolymers, esters of α-olefin / maleic anhydride copolymers, polystyrene, poly(meth)acrylic acid esters, α-olefin / maleic anhydride / vinyl group-containing monomer copolymers, styrene / maleic anhydride copolymers, styrene / (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers, polyamides, epoxy resins, xylene resins, ketone resins, petroleum resins, rosin or its derivatives, coumarone-indene resins, terpene resins, polyurethane resins, synthetic rubbers such as styrene / butadiene rubber, polyvinyl butyral, nitrile rubber, acrylic rubber, and ethylene / propylene rubber, polyester resins, cellulose derivatives other than nitrocellulose, and sucrose esters, and used as inks. Note that known materials used in various printing methods can be used as the binder resin, and it is sufficient to select the binder resin according to the material of the printing substrate. Known materials can be used as the aluminum paste, and the particle size and surface smoothness of the aluminum particles can be adjusted according to the desired design and performance. Aluminum particles whose surfaces are coated with a resin can also be used. In this case, functionality such as chemical resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion can be imparted to the aluminum particles.

[0027] The concealing layer 13 may be formed by vapor deposition or sputtering. In this case, the thickness of the concealing layer 13 is, for example, 5 nm to 200 nm. This can more highly suppress the pattern of the printed layer 11 from appearing dark even when the image display section 2a is black. Furthermore, when an image is displayed on the image display section 2a, the printed layer 11 becomes less visible due to the light from the image display section 2a, and the image is more clearly visible. The concealing layer 13 is one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, tin, indium, silver, gold, platinum, iridium, rhodium, palladium, and alloys containing at least one of these metals, and metal oxides thereof, and is preferably aluminum, tin, indium, or alloys or oxides containing these metals in terms of productivity, workability, and appropriate flexibility when forming the concealing layer 13.

[0028] The area of ​​the decorative sheet 5 may be, for example, 1.0 to 1.2 times the area of ​​the image display section 2a. That is, the decorative sheet 5 is set to be the same size as or larger than the image display section 2a. The length of each side of the decorative sheet 5 can be changed according to the size of the monitor 2. The length of each side of the decorative sheet 5 is, for example, 500 mm to 1500 mm.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, the frame portion 7 is a member for surrounding the outer periphery of the transparent plate-like member 4 and the outer periphery of the decorative sheet 5, and for holding the transparent plate-like member 4 and the decorative sheet 5. The frame portion 7 can be attached to the monitor 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame portion 7 has a peripheral wall 24 including side walls 20, 21, 22, and 23. Each of the side walls 20 to 23 is made of wood and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The side walls 20 and 21 face each other. The side walls 22 and 23 extend in a direction intersecting the direction in which the side walls 20 and 21 extend, and face each other. Each of the side walls 22 and 23 is connected to both of the side walls 20 and 21. The outer periphery of the peripheral wall 24 is substantially rectangular. The peripheral wall 24 defines an internal space S having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the monitor 2 is located in the internal space S. In other words, the monitor 2 is located inside the frame portion 7 .

[0030] The bands 8 and 9 are members that are wrapped around the monitor 2 to fix the monitor 2 to the transparent plate-like member 4 and the decorative sheet 5. That is, the bands 8 and 9 are in contact with the monitor 2. Each of the bands 8 and 9 extends from the side wall 20 to the side wall 21. The band 8 is closer to the side wall 22 than the band 9, and the band 9 is closer to the side wall 23 than the band 8. Each of the bands 8 and 9 is made of, for example, nylon or polyester. Each of the bands 8 and 9 may include an elastic member having elasticity. The elastic member is, for example, a rubber member. This allows the bands 8 and 9 to be wrapped around the monitor 2 more firmly. Each of the bands 8 and 9 includes a Velcro tape (registered trademark, not shown), and the length of each of the bands 8 and 9 can be adjusted. This allows the bands 8 and 9 to be wrapped around the monitor 2 or removed from the monitor 2. One end 9a of the band 9 has a ring shape. The band 9 is fixed to the side wall 20 by passing a hook (not shown) through the loop. The other end (not shown) of the band 9 is also in the shape of a loop. The band 9 is fixed to the side wall 21 by passing a hook (not shown) provided on the side wall 21 through the loop. In this way, the band 9 is provided to the frame portion 7. The same applies to the band 8.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the frame portion 7 is provided on the back surface side of the transparent plate-like member 4. The frame portion 7 has a frame-shaped frame portion 25 on the front surface side of the peripheral wall 24. The frame portion 25 has a rectangular ring-shaped shape that protrudes inward from the peripheral wall 24. The frame portion 25 has a main surface 25a that faces the first back surface 4b of the transparent plate-like member 4. The frame portion 25 has an inner surface 25b that faces the step 4d of the transparent plate-like member 4. With this configuration, the portion of the transparent plate-like member 4 that has the step 4d is surrounded by the frame portion 25 and protrudes toward the image display unit 2a of the monitor 2.

[0032] The monitor cover 3 includes a first adhesive layer 30 that bonds the decorative sheet 5 to the main surface 4a of the transparent plate-like member 4. The first adhesive layer 30 is disposed between the main surface 4a and the decorative sheet 5. The first adhesive layer 30 may be provided on almost the entire main surface 4a, or may be provided on a part of the main surface 4a. As the first adhesive layer 30, a double-sided tape, a UV-curable resin, or other adhesives are used. The tape used as the first adhesive layer 30 is highly transparent, and in particular, an OCA tape (used for LCD units of televisions, etc.) is preferably used. When a UV-curable resin is used as the first adhesive layer 30, the UV-curable resin and the decorative sheet 5 are laminated on the transparent plate-like member 4, and the decorative sheet 5 is cured by irradiating UV light from the upper surface of the decorative sheet 5.

[0033] The monitor cover 3 further includes a second adhesive layer 31 that bonds the frame portion 7 to the first back surface 4b of the transparent plate-like member 4. The second adhesive layer 31 is disposed between the first back surface 4b and the main surface 25a of the frame portion 25. The second adhesive layer 31 may be provided on substantially the entire area of ​​the main surface 25a, or may be provided on a part of the main surface 25a. As the second adhesive layer 31, a double-sided tape, adhesive, screws, etc. are used. The type of material for the second adhesive layer 31 is not particularly limited as long as it can maintain its strength. The color of the second adhesive layer 31 is not particularly limited, but if it is transparent, it is preferable because the second adhesive layer 31 is less visible from the surface of the decorative sheet 5.

[0034] A configuration may be adopted in which the frame portion 7 on the back side is difficult to see when the monitor cover 3 is viewed from the outside. For example, when the color of the member of the frame portion 7 itself is dark, the dark color may be made inconspicuous from the outside. Specifically, the transparent plate-shaped member 4 may be subjected to a treatment to reduce the transmittance, such as a smoke treatment. For example, at least one of the main surface 4a and the back surface 4b of the transparent plate-shaped member 4 may be smoked. Also, an inconspicuous color may be adopted only for the main surface 25a of the frame portion 7. Also, a color for making the frame portion 7 inconspicuous may be adopted for the back surface of the decorative sheet 5. Also, a color for making the frame portion 7 inconspicuous may be adopted for at least one of the first adhesive layer 30 and the second adhesive layer 31.

[0035] In the monitor cover 3 according to the present embodiment described above, the frame portion 7 can be attached to the monitor 2. In this case, the monitor cover 3 can be attached directly to the monitor 2 without being attached to a wall or stand on which the monitor 2 is installed. Therefore, the monitor cover 3 can be attached to the monitor 2 that can be installed in various places. Furthermore, the decorative sheet 5 that can be given a design can be positioned in front of the image display unit 2a via the frame portion 7 and the transparent plate-like member 4. Therefore, according to this monitor cover 3, the design can be easily given to the monitor 2. In addition, the frame portion 7 that surrounds the outer periphery of the transparent plate-like member 4 and the outer periphery of the decorative sheet 5 is provided on the first back surface 4b side of the transparent plate-like member 4. Therefore, the frame portion 7 can be hidden on the back surface side of the decorative sheet 5. This makes it possible to suppress the frame portion 7 at the edge from appearing in the appearance.

[0036] In the monitor cover 3, the mounting member 6 has a mounting portion that is provided on the frame portion 7 and configured to come into contact with the monitor 2, and the mounting portion includes bands 8, 9 that are wrapped around the monitor 2. With this monitor cover 3, it is possible to more easily impart a design to the monitor 2. Furthermore, by removing the bands 8, 9 from the monitor 2, the monitor cover 3 can be removed from the monitor 2. Therefore, with this monitor cover 3, the design can be easily changed.

[0037] The monitor cover 3 further includes a first adhesive layer 30 that bonds the decorative sheet 5 to the main surface 4a of the transparent plate-like member 4. Therefore, according to this monitor cover 3, the decorative sheet 5 can be easily bonded to the transparent plate-like member 4 by the first adhesive layer 30 without being sandwiched by the frame portion 7.

[0038] The monitor cover 3 further includes a second adhesive layer 31 that bonds the frame portion 7 to the first back surface 4b of the transparent plate-shaped member 4. In this case, the transparent plate-shaped member 4 can be easily bonded to the frame portion 7 by the second adhesive layer 31.

[0039] In the monitor cover 3, the transparent plate member 4 is treated to reduce the transmittance. In this case, the transparent plate member 4 can prevent the frame portion 7 from being seen through the transparent plate member 4 and the decorative sheet 5.

[0040] The display device 1 according to this embodiment includes a monitor cover 3 and a monitor 2. In the display device 1, the monitor cover 3 is directly attached to the monitor 2 such that the second back surface 4c faces the image display unit 2a by the mounting member 6 coming into contact with the monitor 2. According to the display device 1, it is possible to easily impart a design to the monitor 2.

[0041] The display device and monitor cover according to the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various other modifications are possible. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the mounting part is a band, but the mounting part is not limited to a band as long as the monitor cover can be attached to the monitor. The mounting part may be, for example, a fixed fitting part provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall (side wall). In this case, the monitor cover can be attached more firmly to the monitor by fitting the monitor into the frame part.

[0042] The decorative sheet only needs to have at least a printed layer. The decorative sheet does not necessarily have to have a concealing layer or a second light-transmitting substrate. The decorative sheet may have two or more printed layers.

[0043] The side walls do not have to be made of wood, and may be made of, for example, plastic, polystyrene foam, etc. The outer periphery of the peripheral wall does not have to be substantially rectangular, and may be, for example, circular, elliptical, or triangular.

[0044] [Monitor cover installation example] An example of mounting a monitor cover according to the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 4. However, the present invention is not limited to the following example.

[0045] FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state before and after a monitor cover is attached to a monitor, (a) is a front view showing a monitor before the monitor cover is attached, and (b) is a front view showing a display device after the monitor cover is attached. Here, for example, a 49-inch display can be used as the monitor. As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, when the monitor cover is not attached, white characters and a black screen can be seen from the image display part of the monitor. As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, when the monitor cover is attached, the characters and the like on the image display part can be seen, and the wood grain pattern can be seen. As shown in the above example, the monitor cover according to the present invention can easily impart design to the monitor.

[0046] For example, in a comparative example, when the frame portion 7 is disposed on the front side of the decorative sheet, the frame portion 25 of the frame portion 7 appears on the outside as shown in Fig. 4(c). In contrast, in the embodiment, the frame portion 25 of the frame portion 7 can be prevented from appearing on the outside as shown in Fig. 4(b). [Explanation of symbols]
