Display panel

Abstract

A display panel includes a plate-shaped decoration member including a shading part and a light transmission part formed within the shading part, as well as a plate-shaped reflection member disposed on a back side of the decoration member. The shading part and the light transmission part create a fine pattern in a plan view. The reflection member is configured to reflect light. The decoration member is disposed on a front surface of the reflection member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display panel comprising:
 a planar decoration member comprising a shading part and a light transmission part formed within the shading part, the shading part and the light transmission part creating a fine pattern in plan view; and   a planar reflection member disposed on a back side of the decoration member, the reflection member being configured to reflect light;   wherein the decoration member is adhered to a front surface of the planar reflection member by adhesive, and   wherein a front surface of the decoration member is a non-adhesive area in which no adhesive is impregnated.   
     
     
         2 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive. 
     
     
         3 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the adhesive is thinner than a thickness of the decoration member. 
     
     
         4 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration member is disposed on the front surface of the reflection member such that at least a part of a back surface of the decoration member is in contact with the front surface of the reflection member. 
     
     
         5 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the shading part is formed of fibers or bundles of fibers. 
     
     
         6 . The display panel according to  claim 5 , wherein the decoration member is formed by irregularly arranging and laminating the fibers or the bundles of fibers. 
     
     
         7 . The display panel according to  claim 5 , wherein the decoration member is made of Washi. 
     
     
         8 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , comprising a planar transparent member which is transparent to light, the transparent member being disposed on a viewer side relative to the decoration member such that a front surface of the decoration member being in contact with a back surface of the transparent member. 
     
     
         9 . The display panel according to  claim 8 , wherein the transparent member has an uneven pattern on the back surface of the transparent member. 
     
     
         10 . The display panel according to  claim 8 , wherein the display panel is applied to a timepiece, the timepiece comprising a pointer shaft and a pointer connected to the pointer shaft,
 wherein the decoration member comprises a through-hole into which the pointer shaft is inserted.   
     
     
         11 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the reflection member has a light transmittance. 
     
     
         12 . The display panel according to  claim 11 , wherein the display panel is applied to a timepiece, the timepiece comprises a solar cell disposed on a back side of the reflection member. 
     
     
         13 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the front surface of the reflection member is formed with a colored layer having a light transmittance. 
     
     
         14 . The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the front surface of the reflection member has a function to reflect at least a part of the light reflected at the reflection member.
