Abstract
An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) module of the present invention forms, when received in a frame by way of example, gaps corresponding to the dimension of extensions between the inner walls of the frame and the edges of glass sheets constituting an LCD panel. The gaps prevent the walls of the inside of the frame from contacting the edges of the glass sheets and thereby protect the glass sheets from damage even when a shock or an impact acts on the frame. Further, because the corners of the glass sheets do not contact the corners of the inside of the frame, it is not necessary to provide the corners of the inside of the frame with a conventional special configuration. The frame is therefore easy to design and fabricate.
Claims5
An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) module comprising:
- an LCD panel having a substantially rectangular configuration, as seen in plan view;
- and
