Abstract

Provided is a display that facilitates assembly, and prevents breakage in its components resulting from their interference during the assembly. A display includes a shield cover that has a bottom portion and a side portion. The bottom portion is disposed over a circuit board. The side portion is continued to the bottom portion, and faces the outer surface of one side of the side portion of a middle frame. The side portion of the shield cover has an abutment portion protruding toward the middle frame side. The one side of the side portion of the middle frame has a butted portion that abuts on abutment portion. The shield cover and the middle frame are fixed to each other, by fitting the shield cover into the front frame with the abutment portion of the shield cover brought into abutment with the butted portion of the middle frame.

Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel; and

a backlight disposed to be opposite from a display surface of the display panel, the backlight being configured to irradiate the display panel with light,

the backlight including

a back frame that houses an optical member, and

the display device further comprising:

a front frame that has a side portion disposed outside a side portion of the backlight, the front frame uniting the display panel and the backlight;

a circuit board disposed on a surface of the back frame, the surface being opposite from the display surface, the circuit board being configured to supply a signal to the display panel; and

a protective cover protecting the circuit board,

the protective cover having

a bottom portion disposed over the circuit board, and

a side portion disposed to be continued to the bottom portion, the side portion facing an outer surface of one side of the side portion of the middle frame,

the side portion of the protective cover having an abutment portion protruding toward the middle frame side,

the one side of the side portion of the middle frame having a butted portion that abuts on the abutment portion, and

the protective cover and the middle frame being fixed to each other, by fitting the protective cover into the front frame with the abutment portion of the protective cover brought into abutment with the butted portion of the middle frame.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the front frame has a hole portion or a nail portion,

the protective cover has a nail portion fitted in the hole portion of the front frame, or has a hole portion fitted in the nail portion of the front frame, and

the protective cover and the middle frame are fixed to each other, by fitting the nail portion of the protective cover into the hole portion of the front frame, or by fitting the hole portion of the protective cover into the nail portion of the front frame, with the abutment portion of the protective cover brought into abutment with the butted portion of the middle frame.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of wiring members disposed on one side of a side portion of the circuit board, the plurality of wiring members connecting the display panel and the circuit board to each other,

wherein the abutment portion is disposed between the plurality of wiring members adjacent to each other.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a long wiring member disposed on one side of a side portion of the circuit board, the long wiring member connecting the display panel and the circuit board to each other,

wherein the abutment portion is disposed in a cutout hole disposed in the long wiring member.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the butted portion is disposed at an end portion of the middle frame, the end portion being opposite from the display surface,

the butted portion is dented toward the display surface side,

the abutment portion extends from the side portion of the protective cover toward the middle frame side, and

the abutment portion is bent toward the butted portion side.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the abutment portion is tapered.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the abutment portion, together with the side portion of the protective cover, forms an L-shape.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the side portion of the protective cover has a rib that reinforces the abutment portion.
