Abstract
A liquid crystal panel positioning device by which a liquid crystal panel and a light emitting panel are positioned in a liquid crystal panel holding frame. Stoppers with which the liquid crystal panel is engaged are formed at both ends of each of the side walls of the holding frame. Stoppers with which the light emitting panel is engaged are formed near the liquid crystal panel stoppers, and slightly outside of the liquid crystal panel stoppers. The liquid crystal panel and the light emitting panel are positioned by these stoppers.
Claims6
A liquid crystal panel positioning device comprising:
- at least two stopper portions, each stopper portion having a first stopper surface and a second stopper surface, said first stopper surface and said second stopper surface forming a corner having a predetermined angle;
- a liquid crystal panel;
- a light emitting panel provided for supplying back light to said liquid crystal panel, said light emitting panel being disposed under said liquid crystal panel, so that a first side of said liquid crystal panel and a first side of said light emitting panel form a corner, said first side of said liquid crystal panel engaging a said first stopper surface to be fixed at a predetermined position, and said first side of said light emitting panel engaging a said second stopper surface to be fixed at a predetermined position;
- each said stopper portion further including a third stopper surface forming a predetermined angle with a said first stopper surface and a fourth stopper surface forming a predetermined angle with a said second stopper surface, said liquid crystal panel having a second side forming a predetermined angle with said first side of said liquid crystal panel, said light emitting panel having a second side forming a predetermined angle with said first side of said light emitting panel, said second side of said liquid crystal panel engaging a said third stopper surface, whereby said liquid crystal panel is fixed at a predetermined position, and said second side of said light emitting panel engages a said fourth stopper surface, whereby said light emitting panel is fixed at a predetermined position, said stopper portions being diagonally located with respect to said liquid crystal panel.
