Abstract

Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a method for assembling the liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device has a display section for displaying images, a receiving container for receiving the display section, a power supplying section for supplying a power source to the display section, a signal converting section for converting signals from the display section and a fixing section for fixing the power supplying section and the signal converting section to the receiving container. The power supplying section and the signal converting section are disposed between the display section and the fixing section with directly facing to a rear surface of the receiving container. Accordingly, a total thickness and weight of the liquid crystal display device can be minimized and an assembly facility of the liquid crystal display device can be improved.

Claims (29)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:

a display unit configured to display an image;

a bottom chassis receiving the displaying unit;

a mold frame receiving the bottom chassis and having an opening exposing a bottom surface of the bottom chassis; and

a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to control the display unit and disposed outside the mold frame and directly on the bottom surface of the bottom chassis.

2. The LCD device of claim 1 , further comprising a shield case covering the PCB.

3. The LCD device of claim 2 , wherein the opening exposes a center portion of the bottom surface of the bottom chassis.

4. The LCD device of claim 3 , wherein the PCB includes:

a power supply unit configured to supply power to the display unit; and

a signal converter unit configured to convert a signal provided to the display unit.

5. The LCD device of claim 1 , further comprising a fixture unit that fixes the PCB to the bottom surface of the bottom chassis.

6. The LCD device of claim 5 , wherein the PCB is arranged between the bottom chassis and the fixture unit.

7. The LCD device of claim 6 , wherein the PCB has one end overlapped with the fixture unit.

8. The LCD device of claim 5 , wherein the fixture unit includes a bracket having a first end connected to the PCB and a second end connected to the bottom surface of the bottom chassis.

9. The LCD device of claim 8 , wherein one or more elements is mounted on the PCB, wherein the fixture unit has a first average thickness, and wherein the first average thickness of the fixture unit is less than a height of the highest one of the one or more elements mounted on the PCB.

10. A monitor, comprising:

a front case;

a rear case combined with the front case; and

a liquid crystal display (LCD) device disposed between the front case and rear case and comprising:

a display unit;

a bottom chassis receiving the display unit;

a mold frame receiving the chassis and having an opening exposing a bottom surface of the bottom chassis; and

a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to control the display unit and disposed outside the mold frame and directly on the bottom surface of the bottom chassis.

11. The monitor of claim 10 , wherein the LCD device further comprises a shield case covering the PCB.

12. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a display unit;

a bottom chassis receiving the display unit;

a mold frame receiving the bottom chassis and having an opening exposing a bottom surface of the bottom chassis; and

a printed circuit board having a bottom surface attached directly to the bottom surface of the bottom chassis, the printed circuit board being disposed outside the mold frame.
