Abstract
Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device capable of preventing a grounding clip, which is combined to an end of a mold frame to ground a printed circuit board to a top chassis, from making electrical contact with a display unit. A guide projection is formed at the end of the mold frame so as to be placed adjacent to the grounding clip. A gap between the guide projection and the liquid crystal display panel is narrower than a gap between the liquid crystal display panel and the grounding clip. Accordingly, even though the mold frame is bent by means of an outerforce applied to both ends of the mold frame, it is possible to prevent the grounding clip from deforming and making electrical contact with the liquid crystal display panel.

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying an image;
- a mold frame for receiving the display unit;
- a printed circuit board mounted on a rear surface of the mold frame, for controlling an operation of the display unit;
- a top chassis faced toward and combined with the mold frame, positioned to be opposite to the mold frame, for guiding a position of the display unit;
- and
- grounding means combined with a first end of the mold frame, for grounding the printed circuit board to the top chassis,
- wherein the mold frame includes a projection formed on an uppermost surface of the first end to which the grounding means is combined, in order to prevent the display unit from making electrical contact with the grounding means.
