ABSTRACT:
A design panel attached to a casing for an electronic equipment, which is constructed so that a display device whose display surface goes black at standby is placeable inside the casing, and which is formed with an opening that makes the display surface visible, the design panel being attached to the casing so as to cover the opening, the design panel including, a transparent support substrate having a larger area than the opening, a polarizing film provided outside or inside the transparent support substrate, a ¼ wavelength phase difference film provided on a closer side to an attachment side of the casing with respect to the polarizing film, and a black colored section provided on the closer side to the attachment side of the casing with respect to the transparent support substrate, for blacking a portion which is able to be in contact with the casing, wherein the display device is made visible from the outside at information display, whereas the display device is covered so as to be made invisible from the outside at standby.
