Abstract

A display device includes a display panel unit that includes a panel body having a display screen for displaying information and a control board on which a control circuit for controlling display on the display screen is mounted. The control board is disposed on a back surface of the panel body opposite the display screen and has a width shorter than a width of the panel body. The display device further includes: a housing containing the display panel unit; and an antenna built in the housing to perform communications. The display device further includes a signal line connected to the antenna to transmit an electric signal carrying information communicated by the antenna, and extending along the back surface of the panel body without interfering with the control board.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel unit that includes a panel body having a display screen for displaying information and a control board on which a control circuit for controlling display on the display screen is mounted, the control board being disposed on a back surface of the panel body opposite the display screen and having a width shorter than a width of the panel body;

a housing containing the display panel unit;

an antenna built in the housing to perform communications; and

a signal line connected to the antenna to transmit an electric signal carrying information communicated by the antenna, and extending along the back surface of the panel body without interfering with the control board.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is disposed above the display panel unit within the housing.

3. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display section including;

a display panel unit that includes a panel body having a display screen for displaying information and a control board on which a control circuit for controlling display on the display screen is mounted, the control board being disposed on a back surface of the panel body opposite the display screen and having a width shorter than a width of the panel body;

a housing containing the display panel unit,

an antenna built in the housing to perform communications, and

a signal line connected to the antenna to transmit an electric signal carrying information communicated by the antenna, and extending along the back surface of the panel body without interfering with the control board; and

an information processing section that processes information and causes the display section to display the processed information on the display screen of the display panel unit included in the display section.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the antenna is disposed above the display panel unit within the housing.
