Liquid crystal monitor
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal monitor incorporating therein a liquid crystal module having a direct backlight is configured to have receiving portions in a reflector 8 of the direct backlight that constitutes a liquid crystal module 13 , in order to attach together the liquid crystal module 13 and a liquid crystal monitor member 12 . The receiving portions are constituted by reflector extensions 111 that are formed by extending a bottom face of the reflector 8 toward a space between an inclined face of the reflector and an upper frame 2 of the liquid crystal module 13 . Then, the liquid crystal monitor member 12 is fixed to the reflector extensions 111 by screws 407 . Thus, the use of a space near the inclined face of the reflector allows a liquid crystal monitor to be thinned and reduced in its size and the width of monitor frame.
1. A liquid crystal monitor comprising:
a liquid crystal module including: a direct backlight containing a reflector; a liquid crystal panel; and an upper frame holding said direct backlight and said liquid crystal panel;
a liquid crystal monitor member; and
a compartment frame covering an assembly formed by attaching together said liquid crystal module and said liquid crystal monitor member through a receiving portion of said liquid crystal module and an attachment portion of said liquid crystal monitor member,
wherein, said liquid crystal monitor being further constructed such that said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is provided so as not to protrude from a circumference defined by primary faces of said direct backlight, said liquid crystal panel and said upper frame,
wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is provided in a reflector of said direct backlight and disposed in a space between an inclined face of said reflector and said upper frame of said liquid crystal module, and wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is formed by extending a part of said reflector in a direction parallel to a primary face of said reflector.
2. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is formed by extending a part of said reflector from a primary face of said reflector while bending said part of said reflector.
3. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is formed by protruding a part of said reflector from a primary face of said reflector.
4. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module is formed of a component joined to said reflector.
5. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving portion of said liquid crystal module and said attachment portion of said liquid crystal monitor support member each have a screw hole formed therein and wherein said liquid crystal module and said liquid crystal monitor support member are joined together via said screw holes by a screw.
6. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid crystal module is configured to have said receiving portion formed in a side face of said upper frame and wherein said receiving portion formed in said side face of said upper frame is disposed in a space between an inclined face of said direct backlight and said upper frame, and further, has a screw hole formed therein.
7. The liquid crystal monitor according to claim 6 , wherein said liquid crystal module is configured to have a screw hole formed therein and wherein said liquid crystal module and said liquid crystal monitor support member are joined together via said screw holes by a screw.
8. The liquid crystal monitor of claim 1 , wherein said receiving portion includes at least two faces, in which one of said faces is formed by extending said part of said reflector in a direction parallel to a primary face of said reflector.
9. The liquid crystal monitor of claim 1 , wherein said attachment portion and said receiving portion each have a screw hole therein and wherein said liquid crystal module and said liquid crystal monitor member are joined together via said screw holes by a screw.
10. The liquid crystal monitor of claim 1 , wherein said liquid crystal module is configured such that a reflector bending portion is formed by bending a part of said reflector within a space near said inclined face of said reflector and provided in a plane parallel to a face of said liquid crystal module.
11. The liquid crystal monitor of claim 10 , wherein said reflector bending portion has a screw hole provided therein aligned with another screw hole in said upper frame, and wherein said direct backlight and said upper frame are joined together via said screw holes by a screw.
