Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the display stand described in Patent Document 1 uses a sheet material in which the main body capable of forming a packing box has an extremely complex planar shape, and it cannot have a simple shape. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the assembly of the main body becomes complicated. Moreover, the main body is intended to eliminate the poor appearance caused by the formation of folding lines for folding on the side surfaces of a quadrangular prism shape, and there are also design constraints. Also, in the display unit described in Patent Document 2, since the packing material is used as a reinforcing material, the display structure is specified to have a shape with an internal space capable of accommodating the packing material, and there are the same disadvantages as in Patent Document 1.

[0006] [Object of the Invention] The present invention has been devised by paying attention to such disadvantages, and its object is to provide a display fixture that can have a simple structure and can be assembled easily and quickly. Another object of the present invention is to provide a display fixture that can use the members used for packing as external constituent members. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display fixture that can perform various displays on a display panel so as to give diversity to the content of the display and has versatility capable of corresponding to the needs of the store side to be introduced. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a display fixture that can form a packing box using a support of a display panel, and can fold and accommodate the display panel in this packing box for delivery, transportation or carrying.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the configuration described in the scope of claims for utility model registration. That is, the present invention is a display fixture including a display panel having at least a front side as a display surface, and a support that supports the display panel in an upright posture and is provided separably from the display panel, wherein the display panel is provided so as to be foldable into a predetermined planar size, The support is formed by bending a sheet material, and includes an installation portion that contacts a predetermined plane, and a support portion that supports the display panel in an upright posture. The sheet material has a size such that a box for packing the display panel can be formed by arranging the folded display panel and bending it at a predetermined location.

[0008] In the display furniture, the display panel is composed of a front sheet and a rear sheet partially adhered to the rear surface of the front sheet. The rear sheet includes a flat portion that overlaps the front sheet and is partially adhered thereto, and a pair of bent portions that are continuous with both left and right edges of the flat portion and are bent rearward. Preferably, the bent portion is provided with a plurality of slits extending in the plane from the lower outer edge at a plurality of locations up and down, and the support portion is provided to be engageable with the slits so that the display panel is supported in an upright posture. Here, the display panel is provided to be foldable in a state where the bent portion lies down at the same plane position as the flat portion and the rear sheet is overlapped with the front sheet.

[0009] Further, a cut-up piece that can be cut and bent rearward is formed across a non-adhered portion of the flat portion and a part of the bent portion adjacent to both left and right sides of the non-adhered portion. The cut-up piece is preferably provided to engage with a formation edge of a notch hole formed in the bent portion in a state of being bent rearward to maintain the bent posture of the bent portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the sheet material of the support includes a square central surface, side wall forming surfaces that are opposite to each other in each of two orthogonal directions sandwiching the central surface in the middle, and flaps continuous with these side wall forming surfaces. It is configured such that the side wall forming surface forms a side wall of the packing box and the flap forms a lid of the packing box. Here, when the sheet material overlaps a pair of opposite side wall forming surfaces in one of the two orthogonal directions and the flaps connected thereto on the central surface and is bent in the middle, one side surface forms the installation portion and the first support portion, and the other side surface forms an upward facing portion that bends with respect to the installation portion and the second support portion, and the tip portions of these first and second support portions are respectively inserted into the slits of the bent surface portion and provided so as to be engageable. Furthermore, it is preferable to adopt a configuration in which support portion slits are formed at the tip portions of the first and second support portions, and the support portion slits and the slits of the bent surface portion engage with each other in a meshing manner.

[0011] Also, as another aspect of the present invention, in the invention described in claim 1, the sheet material of the support body includes a rectangular central surface, side wall forming surfaces that are opposite to each other in each of the two orthogonal directions sandwiching the central surface in the middle, and flaps connected to these side wall forming surfaces, the side wall forming surfaces form the side walls of the packaging box, and the flaps form the lid of the packaging box. Fold a pair of opposite side wall forming surfaces in one of the two directions and the pair of flaps connected thereto to a closed lid position so that one of the side wall forming surfaces of the pair of side wall forming surfaces is in contact with the installation surface, and when folding a pair of opposite side wall forming surfaces in the other of the two directions and the pair of flaps connected thereto and positioning them beside the flap folded to the closed lid position, the installation portion is formed by the side wall forming surface in contact with the installation surface, the side wall forming surface positioned beside the flap, and the lower edge of the flap connected thereto. A slit extending from the upper edge into the flap surface is formed at the upper end portion of the flap positioned beside the flap in the closed lid position, and a configuration can be adopted in which a display panel is inserted into the slit and serves as an engageable support portion. At this time, it may include a raised piece formed by cutting into the in-plane portion of the flap bent to the side of the flap in the closed position, and the raised piece may be bent inward from the surface of the flap so as to be engageable with the side edge of the flap in the closed position. Further, a cut portion may be provided at the tip of the raised piece, and the cut portion may be provided so as to be insertable into the side edge of the flap in the closed position. Such a configuration can be adopted together. Further, as another display panel of the present invention, it may have a rectangular outer shape, a cutting portion may be formed between a pair of opposite ends, both ends of the cutting portion and the ends may be continuously foldable, and the cutting portion may be formed along a substantially rectangular wave locus.

[0012] In addition, the "standing posture" in this specification includes not only the state in which the display panel is directed vertically with respect to the horizontal plane but also the state inclined with respect to the vertical.

Effects of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, since the display panel can be supported in a standing posture by the support, the displayed content becomes remarkably conspicuous, and it can be expected to contribute to sales promotion by installing it at the entrance or inside of the store. In addition, by using a display panel having a simple surface shape or form, it becomes easy to impart freedom or diversity to the display form, and it is possible to generally respond to the needs of store-side users who introduce display fixtures. Furthermore, since the support of the display panel can be formed of an inexpensive sheet material such as cardboard, it is not only advantageous in terms of cost, but also by forming a packing box for the display panel using the sheet material, it is possible to avoid the sheet material becoming a waste object and to effectively utilize the sheet material.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the terms indicating directions or positions in this specification are based on the state of the display fixture shown in Fig. 1 as seen from the front of the viewer, and the display fixture shown in Fig. 12 as seen in the direction of arrow A. Based on these references, the front side of the display fixture is "front", and the depth side is "rear" or "back". Also, "width" is used along the left-right direction, and "height" is used along the up-down direction.

[0016] Figs. 1 to 11 show a display fixture 10 according to the first embodiment. In these figures, the display fixture 10 is composed of a display panel 11 with its front side being the display surface, and a support 12 that supports the display panel in an upright posture and is provided detachably or removably with respect to the display panel 11.

[0017] The display panel 11 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, it is formed of cardboard. This display panel 11 consists of a front sheet S1 having a height approximately close to that of an adult, for example, 1500 mm, and a maximum width of about 500 mm, and a rear sheet S2 partially adhered to the rear surface or back surface of the front sheet S1. The adhesion between the front sheet S1 and the rear sheet S2 can be performed using an adhesive, a double-sided adhesive tape, or a hook-and-loop fastener. On the front side of the front sheet S1, there are displayed anime characters, people, etc. in poses that guide consumers into a store or a shop or attract consumers' attention. In addition, the lower region is formed with an expansion suitable for displaying store information and other information. Of course, as the display panel, other objects may be displayed using different surface shapes or contours.

[0018] In the display panel 11, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the rear sheet S2 has an initial surface shape that is entirely located in the same plane, with a height lower than that of the front sheet S1, and is sized such that the width along the left-right direction, excluding the middle part in the vertical direction, is substantially within the width of the front sheet S1. The front sheet S1 and the rear sheet S2 are integrated with each other by using four portions or regions a indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 4 as an adhesive margin. In the integrated state, at the positions of a plurality of folding lines L1 indicated by dotted lines along the width direction in FIG. 5, both the front sheet S1 and the rear sheet S2 can be folded, thereby enabling the display panel 11 to be folded. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the folding lines L1 are provided at three positions, namely, the upper, middle, and lower positions of the front sheet S1 and the rear sheet S2, and the display panel 11 can be folded to a size that is substantially within the plane of the sheet portion below the lowermost folding line L1.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 4, two folding lines L2 parallel to each other are provided along the vertical direction in the central portion of the rear sheet S2. Between these folding lines L2, a flat portion 15 that is partially adhered to the front sheet S1 with an adhesive margin a is formed, while on both the left and right sides outside the folding lines L2, a pair of bent surface portions 16 (see FIGS. 3, 7, and 8) are formed that are bent at an angle of approximately 90 degrees backward with respect to the flat portion 15. In addition, in a portion that straddles the non-adhesive portion of the flat portion 15 and a part of the bent surface portion 16 adjacent to both the left and right sides of the non-adhesive portion, raised pieces 19 (see FIG. 3) formed by cuts 18 are formed at two positions, upper and lower. As shown in FIG. 4, the formation of the raised piece 19 is achieved by providing an inclined cut 18A directed obliquely upward and outward from each fold line L2, an extended cut 18B directed horizontally outward from the inclined cut 18A, an arcuate cut 18C directed upward from the extended cut 18B, a straight cut 18D connecting between the left and right arcuate cuts 18C, and an upper and lower cut 18E provided between the upper part of the arcuate cut 18C and the upper part of the inclined cut 18A. By bending the portion indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 4 at the lower ends of the upper and lower cuts 18E as the bending position 22 and folding the raised piece 19 backward, a notch hole 20 (see FIG. 3) is formed in the bent surface portion 16, and the free end that becomes the tip of the raised piece 19 can engage with the formation edge of the notch hole 20, specifically, the portion where the arcuate cut 18C and the extended cut 18B are connected. Thereby, the display panel 11 can be completed in a state where the bent posture and position of the bent surface portion 16 with respect to the flat portion 15 are fixedly maintained. Note that recesses 23 are formed at two positions, left and right, on the free end side of the raised piece 19, that is, at the edges formed by the straight cut 18D. By engaging these recesses 23 so as to bite into the formation edge of the notch hole 20, an inconvenience such that the raised piece 19 returns to its initial flat position is prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the bent surface portion 16 has an outer edge whose lower end edge extends along the front-rear direction and whose rear end edge extends along the vertical direction, and includes a plurality of locations on the lower outer edge, specifically, the lower end edge, a lower slit 25 directed into the plane of the bent surface portion 16 from the lower side edge, and an upper slit 26, and the support body 12 is engaged with these lower slit 25 and upper slit 26 (see FIG. 3).

[0020] Similar to the display panel 11, the support 12 is formed by bending a sheet material S3 (see FIG. 9) made of cardboard. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it includes an installation part 28 that contacts the installation surface F and two support parts 29 (29A, 29B) that support the display panel 11 in an upright posture, either front and rear or up and down. The support 12 is sized such that the sheet material S3 in a state where it is unfolded in a plane can form a packing box P (see FIG. 11) that wraps the folded display panel 11 as shown in FIG. 9. Incidentally, the packing box P in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is approximately 520 mm × 395 mm in length and width and 45 mm in height. The sheet material S3 includes a rectangular (a rectangle in this embodiment) central surface 31, side wall forming surfaces 32, 33 that face each other in two orthogonal directions sandwiching the central surface 31 in the middle, specifically the left - right direction and the up - down direction in FIG. 9, and flaps 35, 36 that are continuous with these side wall forming surfaces 32, 33. The side wall forming surfaces 32, 33 form the side walls of the packing box P, and the flaps 35, 36 form the lid of the packing box P (see FIG. 11). The sheet material S3 can be bent at the positions indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 9, and is divided into the central surface 31, side wall forming surfaces 32, 33, flaps 35, 36 with these bending positions as boundaries or partition positions.

[0021] The installation part 28 and the support part 29 are formed through the steps shown in FIGS. 10(A) to (C). Specifically, on the central surface 31 of the sheet material S3, the side wall forming surfaces 32 on both sides in the left - right direction in FIG. 9 and the flap 35 continuous therewith are superposed as shown in FIG. 10(A). When bent at the intermediate position 34 in the up - down direction, the installation part 28 is formed on one side (the left side in FIG. 10(B)), and on the other side (the right side in the same figure), an upward - facing surface part 37 (see FIG. 10(C)) that bends with respect to the installation part 28 is formed. In FIG. 10(C) of the setting portion 28, the side wall forming surface 33 and the flap 36 that are continuous on the left side are bent upward to form the first support portion 29A, and the side wall forming surface 33 and the flap 36 that are continuous with the upper end of the upward-facing surface portion 37 are the second support portion 29B. The first and second support portions 29A and 29B are provided so as to be insertable into the lower slit 25 and the upper slit 26 of the bent surface portion 16. In the present embodiment, a support portion slit 38 directed in the plane of the flap 36 is formed at the tip of the flap 36, and these support portion slits 38 are inserted so as to mesh with the lower slit 25 and the upper slit 26 of the bent surface portion 16 and can be engaged with each other.

[0022] In the above configuration, when assembling the display panel 11, the rear sheet S2 is partially adhered and integrated with the rear surface of the front sheet S1 in the region a. At this time, the central portion at the lower end of the rear sheet S2 is aligned so as to substantially coincide with the central portion at the lower end of the front sheet S1 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. As a result, in a state where the front and rear sheets S1 and S2 are overlapped, they can be folded at the position of the folding line L1. Next, the bent surface portions 16 of the rear sheet S2 are bent backward through a bending angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the flat surface portion 15, and the raised piece 19 is bent at the bending position 22 so as to be in a substantially horizontal posture facing backward, and the recess 23 at the tip, which is the free end of the raised piece 19, is engaged with the formation edge of the notch hole 20. Thereby, the assembly of the display panel 11 is completed.

[0023] Before and after assembling the display panel 11, the support 12 is assembled. This assembly is to fold the side wall forming surfaces 32 and the flaps 35 on both the left and right sides onto the surface of the central surface 31 in the sheet material S3 shown in FIG. 9 (see FIGS. 10(A) and 10(B)). Then, an installation portion 28 is formed to the left of the center of FIG. 10(B), that is, the bending position 34, and a side wall forming surface 33 and a flap 36 connected to the left end thereof are bent upward to form a first support portion 29A at the tip (see FIG. 10(C)). To the right of the bending position 34 in FIG. 10(B), an upward-facing surface portion 37 is formed in an inclined direction so as to be an acute angle with respect to the installation portion 28, and the support 12 can be completed by using the side wall forming surface 33 and the flap 36 on the tip side thereof as a second support portion 29B.

[0024] After the display panel 11 and the support 12 are formed in this way, the first support portion 29A is inserted into the lower slit 25, and the second support portion 29B is inserted into the upper slit 26. This insertion is performed until the support slits 38 provided in the first and second support portions 29A and 29B are engaged with the lower slit 25 and the upper slit 26 respectively. Thereby, the engagement state of both can be surely performed and maintained, and the display furniture 10 can be completed.

[0025] Note that the display furniture 10 can be separated into the display panel 11 and the support 12, and can be housed in a packing box P (see FIG. 11) formed using a sheet material S3 constituting the support 12 in a state where the display panel 11 is folded, and can be delivered, transported, or carried. This packing box P is formed by bending each surface at the position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 9, forming side walls with the side wall forming surfaces 32 and 33 using the central surface 31 as the bottom surface, and bending the flaps 35 and 36 connected to these side wall forming surfaces 32 and 33 so as to be parallel to the central surface 31 to form a lid. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when the flap 35 is bent so as to overlap the upper surface of the flap 36, the free ends of the flap 35 are almost butted against each other, and the packing box P can be sealed by attaching an adhesive tape to the butted portion and can be delivered by a courier or by mail, etc., and can be delivered from the provider of the display furniture 10 to the user via a courier.

[0026] Therefore, according to such an embodiment, the support 12 can be formed using the sheet material S3 that forms the packing box P, and since the support 12 can support the display panel 11 in an upright posture as a component of the display fixture 10, it can be effectively utilized without wasting members. Further, the display panel 11 is formed by adhering the rear sheet S2 to the front sheet S1, and the rear sheet S2 has a shape having a bent surface portion 16 directed rearward with respect to the flat surface portion 15. Thus, the rear sheet S2 functions as a so-called reinforcing member for the front sheet S1, and the surface of the front sheet S1 can be reliably maintained in an upright state, effectively avoiding the possibility that the display panel 11 bends in the middle. At this time, since the bent surface portion 16 is configured such that the recess 23 formed at the tip of the cut-up piece 19 engages with the formation edge of the notch hole 20, the inconvenience that the bent surface portion 16 falls down toward the flat surface portion 15 side can be surely prevented.

[0027] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 20. Note that FIG. 12 is a schematic perspective view of the front side of the display fixture 100, and FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view of the opposite rear side. As shown in these figures, the display fixture 100 includes a display panel 50 that can use the front side and the rear side as display surfaces, and a support 52 that supports the display panel 50 in an upright posture and is provided so as to be separable or removable from the display panel 50.

[0028] In the second embodiment, the display panel 50 is formed using a sheet material S4 made of a horizontally long rectangular cardboard or the like as a raw material. This display panel 50 has a size of approximately 300 mm × 900 mm in the vertical and horizontal directions. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, at three locations in the left - right direction, it is provided with cutting portions 53 between the end portions facing each other in the vertical direction, and folding lines L4 are formed so as to be foldably continuous between both ends of each cutting portion 53 and the upper and lower edge portions of the sheet material S4. By providing the three cutting portions 53, display surfaces 50A to 50D divided into four portions are provided on the display panel 50. These divisions can be folded so as to overlap each other, and the folded display panel 50 can be accommodated in a packing box P (see FIG. 16) formed by reorganizing the support 52.

[0029] The cutting portion 53 is formed by cutting along a substantially rectangular - wave locus. When folding the display panel 50 at the position of the folding line L4, the cut edge of the cutting portion 53 acts as a resistance to folding, that is, it acts so as to catch, thereby preventing the display surfaces 50A to 50D from accidentally bending unintentionally from the state where they are deployed on the same plane.

[0030] Note that the display panel 50 in the second embodiment is divided into a large number of divisions 50E with the position indicated by the two - dot chain line in FIG. 14 as a boundary. For each division, it is suitable for usage forms such as displaying bottles of different types of drinking water, for example. Also, the same display can be made on the back side of the display panel 50, and displays corresponding to the needs of the introducing store side, such as making different displays, can be made.

[0031] When folding the display panel 50, as shown in FIGS. 15(A) and (B), the display surfaces 50A and 50D located on both the left and right sides are folded so as to overlap the inner display surfaces 50B and 50C. Then, as shown in FIG. 15(C), it is further folded so as to be half the length, whereby the display panel 50 can be folded in a state where the display surfaces 50A to 50D are accommodated on substantially the same plane.

[0032] Similar to the display panel 50, the support 52 is formed by using a sheet material S5 (see FIG. 17) made of cardboard and folding it. It includes an installation portion 55 that contacts a flat surface such as the installation surface F (see FIGS. 19 and 20), and two support portions 57 on the upper left and right sides that support the display panel 50 in an upright posture. As shown in FIG. 17, the sheet material S5 in a state where the support 52 is unfolded in a plane has a size capable of forming a packing box P that wraps the folded display panel 50. The packing box P in the second embodiment is not particularly limited, but is about 307 mm × 263 mm in length and width and 28 mm in height.

[0033] The sheet material S5 consists of a rectangular central surface 60, side wall forming surfaces 61 and 62 that face each other in the left - right direction and the up - down direction, which are orthogonal directions sandwiching the central surface 60 in the middle, and flaps 63 and 64 that are continuous with these side wall forming surfaces 61 and 62. The side wall forming surfaces 61 and 62 form the side walls of the packing box P, and the flaps 63 and 64 form the lid of the packing box P. Also, in the plane of the flaps 63 located on both the left and right sides in FIG. 17, two cuts 66 are formed along a U - shaped locus. With the open side of the U - shape as the folding portion 67, the cut - up piece 68 inside the cut 66 can be folded with respect to the surface of the flap 63. Note that slit - like cut portions 70 are provided at the free end sides of the cut - up pieces 68 respectively, and a slit 71 is formed at the upper end portion of the flap 63 in FIG. 17, which extends from the upper edge into the plane of the flap 63. The display panel 50 is inserted into the slit 71 and serves as the support portion 57 that engages with it. Also, on both the left and right sides of the flaps 64 located above and below in FIG. 17, slits 75 are provided respectively, which extend from their outer edges into the plane. The cut - up pieces 68 are inserted into these slits 75, and the cut portions 70 provided on the cut - up pieces 68 are engaged with each other firmly.

[0034] The support 52 is formed as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 20, the side wall forming surface 62 that is vertically positioned with the central surface 60 in an upright posture with respect to the installation surface F is bent, and the upper and lower flaps 64 connected to the side wall forming surface 62 are bent to a position opposite to the surface of the central surface 60, that is, the position when closing the lid. Also, as shown in FIG. 19, the side wall forming surfaces 61 connected to both the left and right ends of the central surface 60 and the flaps 63 connected thereto are each bent so as to be positioned laterally of the flap 64 at the closed lid position. Then, the raised pieces 68 provided in the plane of the left and right flaps 63 are bent inward so as to be substantially horizontal, and the tip portions of the raised pieces 68 are inserted into the slits 75 provided in the flap 64. At the same time, the cut portions 70 of the raised pieces 68 are engaged with the slits 75 by meshing. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the upper and lower flaps 64 and the left and right flaps 63 are maintained in a fixed position bent with respect to the central surface 60.

[0035] The support body 52 assembled in this way has a portion in contact with the installation surface F, that is, the lower surface 62A of the side wall forming surface 62 located at the lower end side of the lower flap 64 in FIG. 19, the lower end edges 61A of the left and right side wall forming surfaces 61 located laterally of the flap 64, and the lower end edges 63A of the left and right flaps 63 on both sides. Thus, the installation portion 55 is formed, and the support portion 57 of the display panel 50 is formed by the upper end portions of the left and right flaps 63 and the slits 71.

[0036] When displaying the display panel 50, the display surfaces 50A to 50D are kept in a state of being unfolded so as to be located in the same plane, and the lower end portion of the display panel 50 is inserted into the slits 71 provided at the upper end portions of the flaps 63 located on both the left and right sides of the support body 52 installed on the installation surface F. Thereby, the display surface is supported in an upright posture facing forward. Note that in front of the support body 52, when the display on the display surface is, for example, a photograph or illustration of a bottle of drinking water, etc., it is expected that the support body 52 can be concealed by arranging the corresponding actual objects side by side, etc., and the display effect can be further enhanced.

[0037] Therefore, according to such a second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, by changing the bending position of the sheet material S5 capable of forming the support 52, it is possible to form the packing box P that can be delivered and transported. Thus, the sheet material S5 serves two functions, and the display fixture 100 can be formed without wasting members. Moreover, the packing box P is a rectangular parallelepiped having the above-described size, and similar to the first embodiment, it can be handled by general delivery carriers, so there is no inconvenience such that the burden of delivery fees becomes excessive. Furthermore, since the cutting portion 53 provided in the display panel 50 is provided along a substantially rectangular wave locus, the formation edge of the cutting portion 53 can act to catch and impart resistance to bending. Therefore, the display panel 50 will not bend unintentionally, and thereby, it can be expected to stably maintain the display effect.

[0038] The best configuration, method, etc. for implementing the present invention are disclosed in the above description, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the present invention has been particularly illustrated and described with respect to specific embodiments, but those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical idea and purpose of the present invention.

[0039] For example, in the above embodiment, the case where cardboard is used as the sheet material has been described, but other materials having a thickness and hardness that enable the display panel to be foldable and retain its planar shape when in an upright posture may also be used. Also, the shape or contour of the display panel is not limited to that of the above embodiment and can be changed according to the display purpose. Furthermore, as long as the support can form a packing box and support the display panel, the support structure for the display panel may be changed. In short, the support in the present invention only needs to be able to support the display panel in an upright posture and be separable. In the illustrated example of the display panel according to the first embodiment, the folding lines of the front sheet and the rear sheet are shown as overlapping. However, in reality, depending on the thickness of the cardboard, the folding lines may be offset from each other without overlapping. Also, in the description of each embodiment, even if there are parts where different member names are used for the same or equivalent configurations, this is for the convenience of clearly explaining the content of the embodiment of the invention, and it should not be understood that different member names and expressions are used for substantially equivalent component parts and their functions are different.
