Abstract
A housing for holding and fixing components of a liquid crystal display device is composed of a pair of frame members each having the same shape. Four sides of the side face of each frame member are formed such that an outer face section positioned at the outer side when combined and an inner face section positioned at the inner side when combined are stepped to each other, and a cut section is formed between the outer face section and the inner face section. The side face section of the frame member of the housing is formed to be stepped as described above, so that the strength and assembling property are enhanced, thereby being capable of preventing deterioration in display quality caused by the displacement of the position and space of the components.
Claims16
A housing for a display device for at least holding a display panel, comprising a pair of first frame members, each of said first frame members having a same shape and consisting of a frame section that covers an outer edge of said display panel face and a side face section that covers a side face of said display panel, wherein each of said first frame members has a cut section of a slit shape formed at said side face section thereof that fits to each other when one of said first frame members is turned over and opposed to other said first frame member, wherein said side face sections of said first frame member at both sides of said cut section are formed so as to be stepped.
A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a liquid crystal display panel;
- a backlight device for illuminating said liquid crystal display panel;
- and
- a housing for holding said liquid crystal display panel and said backlight device,
- wherein said housing has a pair of frame members, each of said frame members having a same shape and consisting of a frame section that covers an outer edge of said liquid crystal display panel face and a side face section that covers a side face of said liquid crystal display panel, wherein each of said first frame members has a cut section formed at said side face section thereof, and each of said frame members has a cut section of a slit shape formed at a side face section thereof that fits to each other when one of said frame members is turned over and opposed to other said frame member, and
- wherein said housing holds said liquid crystal display panel and said backlight device by fitting said cut section of the pair of said frame members to each other.
