Abstract:
A display module includes a panel module and a frame and is able to be assembled to a cover to form a display device. A first fixing portion on a sidewall of the cover is snapped to a second fixing portion of the frame, such that the cover is fixed on the display module to form the display device. The panel module includes a first and a second sides, wherein the first side has a display region, and the panel module is adhered to the frame by the second side, such that the frame is the only structure substantially providing support to the panel module. When the display module has a backlight source, the panel module includes a glass module and a back light module. When the display module has no backlight source, the panel module only includes a glass module.
Abstract:
A display module includes a panel module and a frame and is able to be assembled to a cover to form a display device. At first, the panel module is provided that includes the first side and the second side and then a frame is provided, where the frame has an opening. Then, the second side of the panel module is adhered to the frame and covers the opening to form the display module, where the frame is the only structure substantially providing support to the panel module and the first side of the panel module includes a display region. Finally, a cover is fixed to the frame to form the display device, where a sidewall of the cover is snapped to the frame. The cover and the frame provide support to the panel module to strengthen a structural strength of the display module.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a display device with small thickness and good aesthetic exterior appearance, which comprises a liquid crystal display panel for displaying images; a backlight unit for supplying light to the liquid crystal display panel; and a support member for supporting the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit, wherein the support member comprises a set cover for receiving the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit, the set cover functioning as an external cover; and a guide frame for guiding the position of the liquid crystal display panel and backlight unit, wherein the guide frame and liquid crystal display panel are connected with each other by a connection member provided therebetween. At this time, the lower and lateral sides of the display device are covered without using upper and external cases to cover the upper edge of display device. Thus, the entire thickness of the display device is decreased; the bezel width of the display device is also decreased; and the entire step coverage of the display device is removed, whereby the front of the display device is recognized as one structure, to thereby allow the good aesthetic exterior appearance of the display device.
Abstract:
A locking portion of a lamp clip has an inserting portion that protrudes in an inserting direction into a insertion hole, a locking leg portion provided to be opposed to the inserting portion, and a hook provided to project from the locking leg portion to the opposite side of the inserting portion side and locked to the hole edge of the insertion hole from the rear side. The locking leg portion is arranged to be opposed to the hole edge of the insertion hole formed in the optical sheet in a state in which the hook is locked to the hole edge of the insertion hole. When the locking leg portion is pushed by the hole edge of the insertion hole, the hook and the hole edge of the insertion hole are unlocked.

Abstract:
A backlight unit 12 includes a chassis 14, a cold cathode tube 17, and a lamp clip 18. The chassis has mounting holes 32 and 33. The cold cathode tube 17 is arranged inside the chassis 14. The lamp clip 18 is mounted to the chassis 14 through the mounting holes 32 and 33. The lamp clip 18 holds the cold cathode tube 17. The lamp clip 18 includes main body 27 and mounting parts 30 and 31. The main body 27 is arranged inside the chassis 14. The mounting parts 30 and 31 include base portions 30a and 31a, and holding portions 30b and 31b. The base portions 30a and 31a project from the main body 27 to the outside of the chassis 14 through the mounting holes 32 and 33. The holding portions 30b and 31b project from the base portions 30a and 31a along the main body 27. Edges of the mounting holes are sandwiched between the main body 27 and the holding portions 30b and 31b. The chassis 14 has receiving portions 39 and 40 for receiving the mounting parts 30 and 31. The receiving portions 39 and 40 are formed by drawing parts of the chassis 14 outward. The parts are located close to edges of the mounting holes 32 and 33 on opposite sides to the edges sandwiched between the main body 27 and the holding portions 30b and 31b.
Abstract:
Problems to be SolvedProvided is a backlight unit capable of maintaining its outermost size of the plane even when a horizontal misalignment occurs in the fixation of the upper frame and the lower frame during assembling or transportation.Solution:A backlight unit includes a lower frame defining an opening portion in its upper portion, a light source arranged in the opening portion, a light guide plate arranged in the opening portion for guiding light from the light source, and an upper frame arranged at the opening portion side of the opening portion and having a window portion capable of transmitting light from the light guide plate. The lower frame and the upper frame are engagingly fixed at an engaging portion having a projecting portion integrally arranged on a side surface of one side surface and a rib portion defining a hole portion extending from an another side surface to the one side surface and to which the projecting portion can be engaged with. When viewed from a side, a lower portion of the side surface of the upper frame and an upper portion of the side surface of the lower frame are in contact with each other and the width of the hole portion is larger than the width of the projecting portion. When one side end portion of the projecting portion is made in contact with one side end portion of the hole portion, the side surface of the upper frame is located approximately on the same plane with the other side end portion of the side surface of the lower frame, and the other side end portion of the upper frame is located outer side than the other side end portion of the side surface of the lower frame.
