## Abstract

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder is disclosed including a coupling member fixed to a liquid crystal monitor body; a supporting member rotatably installed in the inner lower portion of the coupling member; a upper and lower light-blocking member rotatably installed in the inner upper portion of the supporting member; and one-side and other-side light-blocking members rotatably and elastically installed on the inner left and right sides of the liquid crystal monitor body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder, comprising:
a coupling member fixed to a liquid crystal monitor body;
a supporting member rotatably installed in the inner lower portion of said coupling member;
a upper and lower light-blocking member rotatably installed in the inner upper portion of said supporting member; and
one-side and other-side light-blocking members rotatably and elastically installed on the inner left and right sides of said liquid crystal monitor body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein a recess is formed on the top of said coupling member, and a protrusion piece is formed on the outer top of said supporting member so that said protrusion piece is exposed externally via said recess.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein a supporting shaft is formed in the inner upper portion of said supporting member, and a supporting piece is formed in said upper and lower light-blocking members so that they are rotatably installed to said supporting member as said supporting piece is inserted into said supporting shaft.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein upper depressions are formed on the top of said coupling member, and upper stops are formed on the upper outer surface of said supporting member so that said upper stops are inserted into said upper depressions while said supporting member is vertically positioned.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A light-blocking apparatus for a liquid crystal monitor for a camcorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein lower depressions are formed on the bottom of said coupling member, and lower stops are formed on the lower outer surface of said upper and lower light-blocking member so that said lower stops are inserted into said lower depressions while said upper and lower light-blocking member is vertically positioned.
