Abstract

A wearable apparatus includes a display panel in which a display portion is formed on a first face of a substrate, a housing, and a panel frame supporting the display panel and transferring heat from the display panel to the housing.

Claims

1. A wearable apparatus comprising:

a display panel in which a display portion is formed on a first face of a substrate;

a housing; and

a panel frame supporting the display panel and transferring heat from the display panel to the housing.

2. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the panel frame is arranged along a second face opposite to at least the first face of the substrate.

3. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the panel frame is configured with a resin component including a heat conductive filler.

4. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the panel frame is configured with a metal member.

5. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display panel is supported by the panel frame through a heat conductive adhesive, a heat radiation sheet, or a heat radiation grease.

6. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the housing includes a temple portion made of metal, and

wherein the panel frame is connected to the temple portion through a heat conductive adhesive, a heat radiation sheet, or a heat radiation grease.

7. The wearable apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

an optical member making an image from the display panel visually recognizable toward eyes of an observer; and

a frame holding the optical member and having heat conductivity.

8. The wearable apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the frame is connected to the temple portion through a heat conductive adhesive, a heat radiation sheet, or a heat radiation grease.

9. The wearable apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the frame is connected to the housing through a heat conductive adhesive.

10. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the housing includes a heat conducting portion having heat conductivity, and

wherein the panel frame is connected to the heat conducting portion through a heat conductive adhesive, a heat radiation sheet, or a heat radiation grease.

11. The wearable apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the heat conducting portion contains a heat conductive filler.

12. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display panel includes a semiconductor substrate.

13. The wearable apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display panel is configured with a micro display.
