leakage from the display screen and direct it to the outside, one
end of a conductive tape is stuck on the screen and the other end
is grounded (specification, page 7). An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary independent
claim 6, which is reproduced as follows:
6. A display apparatus having a display screen,
comprising:
a stacked film attached to a front surface of the display
screen, said stacked film comprising in sequence a base layer, a
hard coat layer, a conductive film layer, and a dielectric film
layer; and
a conductive tape including a conductive base and a
conductive sticky layer; wherein:
said conductive sticky layer has a specific electrical
resistance,
one end of said conductive tape is stuck on said dielectric
film layer via said conductive sticky layer and the other end of
said conductive tape is electrically grounded, and
the other end of said conductive tape is connected to a
ground portion via said conductive sticky layer.
