Impact resistant ferroelectric liquid crystal apparatus

A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel comprising a pair of substrates each provided with an electrode and a liquid crystal disposed between said pair of substrates;
• a panel-supporting plate for supporting said liquid crystal panel;
• a supporting member having a frame for supporting said panel-supporting plate;
• an elastic member for fixing said panel-supporting plate in a floating state to said frame of said supporting member so as to define an almost closed space enclosed with said panel-supporting plate, said supporting member and said elastic member;
• and
• a backlight for illuminating said liquid crystal panel below said supporting member so as to define said almost closed space enclosed with said panel-supporting plate, said supporting member, said elastic member and said backlight.

A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel comprising a pair of substrates each provided with an electrode and a liquid crystal disposed between said pair of substrates;
• a drive integrated circuit for driving said liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a peripheral circuit for said drive integrated circuit,
• wherein said liquid crystal panel, said drive integrated circuit and said peripheral circuit in combination form a structural unit having a face in contact with an almost closed space.

A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

• (a) a liquid crystal panel comprising a pair of substrates each provided with an electrode and a liquid crystal disposed between said pair of substrates;
• (b) a panel-fixing plate for fixing said liquid crystal panel;
• (c) a supporting member having a frame for supporting said panel-fixing plate;
• and
• (d) an elastic member for fixing said liquid crystal panel in a floating state to said frame of said supporting member;
• and
• (e) a planar heat-generating member, so as to define an almost closed space enclosed with said liquid crystal panel, said panel-fixing plate, said supporting member, said elastic member and said planar-heat generating member.
