Abstract:
1. A display device for an automobile comprising: a liquid crystal display device for emitting display light; a touch panel ranged on a display light outgoing side of the liquid crystal display device and having a pair of mutually opposing electrode substrates each having a transparent conductive film; and a light diffusion portion provided on a surface of the liquid crystal display device on the display light outgoing side, wherein a surface of one of the electrode substrates on a side opposite to the display light outgoing side of the liquid crystal display device of the pair of the electrode substrates of the touch panel and on an incidence side of display light from the liquid crystal display device keeps direct touch with air; the liquid crystal display device is equipped with a pair of polarization plates for liquid crystal display; the surface of one of the pair of polarization plates on the display light outgoing side from the liquid crystal display device includes the light diffusion portion comprising a concavo-convex portion; a reflection prevention plate is arranged on the surface of the other electrode substrate of the touch panel; the reflection prevention plate comprises a polarization plate and a concavo-convex portion formed on the display light outgoing side of the polarization plate; a spectral transmission factor of the touch panel inclusive of the polarization plate is within +/—10%, with the mean value being 100%, within the range of the display light outgoing wavelength from the liquid crystal display; the touch panel inclusive of the polarization plate permits permeation of the display light within the entire display light outgoing wavelength range; and when the liquid crystal display device equipped with the touch panel is mounted to an automobile, the reflection factor upon incidence of external light is not higher than 5.0%.
