Abstract
A liquid crystal panel 30 has its corners sandwiched between first and second spacers 70 and 80 forward and backward, and the first and second spacers 70 and 80 are fixed to a front cabinet 20. Thus, the front cabinet 20 can be used as a general-purpose member. That is, if the first spacer 70 or the second spacer 80 is designed to fit to the shape of the liquid crystal panel 30, the front cabinet 20 does not need to be modified every time the shape of the liquid crystal panel 30 is modified. Since the corners of the liquid crystal panel 30 are sandwiched on a flat part 71a1, even if the size of the liquid crystal panel 30 is changed, the first spacer 70 can cause the flat part 71a1 to be brought into contact with the corners of the liquid crystal panel 30.

A panel display television including a panel-like display module exposed forward from a substantially rectangular window provided in a front cabinet, the panel display television comprising:
- bosses provided in said front cabinet, said three bosses being protruded rearward outside each of four corners of the window of the front cabinet in a columnar shape, a connection line connecting the adjacent bosses being in a substantially L shape along the corner;
- a first spacer mounted at each of the four corners of said window, said first spacer including three first mounting cylinders having a substantially cylindrical shape and protruded rearward at each corner, into which the three bosses disposed at each corner are respectively inserted, said first spacer being made of synthetic resin and adapted to be brought into contact with the corner of said display module from a front side thererof;
- a second spacer provided corresponding to said first spacer disposed at each of the four corners of the window, said second spacer being made of synthetic resin and adapted to be brought into contact with the corner of the display module from a rear side thereof, and thereby sandwiching the corner of the display module together with the first spacer opposed thereto, said second spacer including:
- second mounting cylinders having a substantially cylindrical shape and protruded forward, into which the three first mounting cylinders disposed in the first spacer opposed to the second spacer are respectively inserted;
- a guide part capable of being abutted against a side wall of the display module;
- and
- a fixed protrusion capable of being inserted into a recess formed on the display module;
- and
- screws adapted to be screwed into said bosses, while fastening together the first and second spacers opposed to each other.
A panel display device including a panel-like display module exposed forward from a substantially rectangular window provided in a front cabinet, the panel display device comprising:
- a boss provided outside a corner of said window in the front cabinet;
- a first spacer mountable to the boss and adapted to be brought into contact with the corner of the display module from a front side thereof;
- a second spacer adapted to be brought into contact with the corner of the display module from a rear side thereof, for sandwiching the corner of the display module together with the first spacer;
- and
- a screw adapted to be screwed into said boss, while fastening together the first and second spacers.
