Patent ID: 8576332

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a liquid crystal display device comprising: a first glass substrate; a second glass substrate parallel to the first glass substrate; a plurality of sealing elements located between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, each of the sealing elements supporting both the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate; and a camera module comprising: a lens; and an image sensor; wherein the image sensor is located between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, the image sensor and the liquid crystal layer are horizontally arranged one after the other along a lengthwise direction of the first and second glass substrates, and the image sensor is separated from the liquid crystal layer by only one of the sealing elements; and the lens is located on an opposite side of the first glass substrate to the image sensor, and an optical axis of the lens is aligned with a central normal of the image sensor.
