Abstract
A taper 31 is formed in a holding wall 15 in a holding frame 11 for holding the periphery of a flat display panel 2 such as a liquid crystal panel so as to be apart from the display panel 2 from the lower side of the boundary face between substrates 4 and 5 to the upper end. On the substrate 4 side lower than the boundary of the substrates 4 and 5, a holding face 15a which comes into contact with only the end face of the lower substrate 4 is provided.
Claims15
A flat panel display device comprising:
- a flat display panel having a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;
- a first holding frame for supporting said first substrate, said first holding frame having a first supporting portion contacting a peripheral area of a principal surface of said first substrate and a second supporting portion rising from said first supporting portion so as to be contacted with an end face of said first substrate such that a contact distance between an end of said second supporting portion defined by a taper and said first supporting portion is smaller than a thickness of said first substrate;
- and
- a second holding frame for supporting said second substrate.
