Abstract

An image display panel includes an image display plate that includes an image display screen and a frame surrounding an outer circumference of the image display screen; a protective component that covers a front surface of the image display screen; and a double-sided adhesive tape of which one surface is adhered to the frame and another surface is adhered to the protective component so that one end portion thereof protrudes from the frame.

Claims

1. An image display panel comprising:

an image display plate that includes an image display screen and a frame surrounding an outer circumference of the image display screen;

a protective component that covers a front surface of the image display screen; and

a double-sided adhesive tape of which one surface is adhered to the frame and another surface is adhered to the protective component so that one end portion thereof protrudes from the frame.

2. The image display panel according to claim 1, further comprising a touch sensor that emits and receives light to detect a position of an object that comes in contact with or comes in close proximity to the protective component.

3. The image display panel according to claim 1, wherein the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape is non-adhesive.

4. The image display panel according to claim 1, wherein the double-sided adhesive tape includes:

a base material having a thickness and being stretchable; and

a pair of films that are adhered to both surfaces of the base material, and that are thinner and less stretchable than the base material, and of which outer surfaces are adhesive.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an image display panel including an image display plate that includes an image display screen and a frame surrounding an outer circumference of the image display screen, a protective component that covers a front surface of the image display screen, and a double-sided adhesive tape of which one surface is adhered to the frame and another surface is adhered to the protective component so that one end portion thereof protrudes from the frame;

a front cover that exposes the image display screen;

a rear cover that extends along a rear surface of the image display panel and forms an inner space to receive the image display panel in cooperation with the front cover; and

an electronic component that is received in the inner space.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising a touch sensor that emits and receives light to detect a position of an object that comes in contact with or comes in close proximity to the protective component.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape is non-adhesive.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the double-sided adhesive tape includes:

a base material having a thickness and being stretchable; and

a pair of films that are adhered to both surfaces of the base material, and that are thinner and less stretchable than the base material, and of which outer surfaces are adhesive.

9. A method of disassembling an image display panel, comprising:

separating a portion of an image display plate from a portion of a protective panel by pulling an end portion of a double-sided adhesive by applying a first force in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the double-sided adhesive, one surface of the double-sided adhesive being adhered to the protective panel and another surface of the double-sided adhesive being adhered to the image display plate;

forming a bent portion having a crease in the double-sided adhesive by pulling the end portion; and

applying a second force to the double-sided adhesive to separate another portion of the image display plate from another portion of the protective panel, the second force required to separate the another portion of the image display plate from the another portion of the protective panel being less than the first force due to the crease created by forming the bent portion.
