Claim Text:
1. A panel composite body, comprising: a main panel having: a first substrate and a second substrate that is smaller than the first substrate, the first substrate and the second substrate forming a pair of substrates bonded together such that respective inner surfaces thereof face each other, an edge portion of the first substrate protruding further out than an edge portion of the second substrate; and a polarizing plate disposed on an outer surface of the second substrate so as to fit within the outer surface of the second substrate in a plan view, the polarizing plate leaving a portion of the outer surface of the second substrate exposed from the polarizing plate at a periphery of the second substrate; an auxiliary panel sandwiching the polarizing plate with the second substrate, the auxiliary panel having a plate member protruding further out than the edge portion of the second substrate; and an adhesive layer bonding together the main panel and the auxiliary panel, the adhesive layer being disposed in contact with and between the polarizing plate and the auxiliary panel and in contact with and between the exposed portion of the outer surface of the second substrate and the auxiliary panel so as to cover a side face of the polarizing plate, wherein the auxiliary panel further includes an opposite plate member bonded to the plate member so as to face the plate member, the opposite plate member being disposed between the plate member and the polarizing plate, wherein the auxiliary panel has a third substrate as the opposite plate member and a fourth substrate that is larger than the third substrate as the plate member forming a pair of substrates bonded together such that respective inner surfaces thereof face each other, in which an edge portion of the fourth substrate protrudes further out than an edge portion of the third substrate, the edge portion of the fourth substrate protruding further out than at least the edge portion of the second substrate, an inner surface at the edge portion of the fourth substrate facing an inner surface at the edge portion of the first substrate, the polarizing plate being sandwiched between the third substrate and the second substrate, wherein the adhesive layer bonds together the main panel and the auxiliary panel, the adhesive layer being disposed between the polarizing plate and the third substrate and between the exposed portion of the outer surface of the second substrate and the third substrate so as to cover side face of the polarizing plate, wherein the adhesive layer is in contact with the edge portion of the first substrate that protrudes further out than the edge portion of the second substrate panel, and wherein the adhesive layer is in contact with the edge portion of the fourth substrate that protrudes further out than an edge portion of the third substrate.
