Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal panel having a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate provided with a terminal part protruding beyond the first glass substrate; a backlight provided with a light source, a light guide plate and an optical sheet; a case for housing the liquid crystal panel and the backlight; and a double-sided tape for bonding the second glass substrate side of the liquid crystal panel and the case. The double-sided tape is provided at a frame part in the outer circumference of the effective display section of the liquid crystal panel which is closer to the effective display section than the terminal part and where the first and second glass substrates overlap. The double-sided tape is narrower than the width of the frame part where the first and second glass substrates overlap. Consequently, there can be obtained a liquid crystal display having such a structure that the liquid crystal panel is insusceptible to damage when dropped.

Claims (14)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a liquid crystal panel having a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate that has a terminal part that protrudes beyond the first glass substrate;

a backlight provided with a light source, a light guide plate and an optical sheet;

a case that houses said liquid crystal panel and backlight; and

a bonding member that bonds said liquid crystal panel's second glass substrate and said case;

said bonding member being at the periphery of said liquid crystal panel's effective display section, and, at the second glass substrate protrusion portion near the terminal part, being provided within a range from roughly the halfway point of the terminals' length to the effective display section, and moreover, the length of the bonding member is narrower than the frame part of the area where said first and second glass substrates are overlapped.

2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said bonding member is strip-shaped or rim-shaped double-sided tape.

3. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a liquid crystal panel that has a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate that has a terminal part that protrudes beyond the first glass substrate;

a backlight provided with a light source, a light guide plate and an optical sheet;

a case that houses said liquid crystal panel and backlight; and

a bonding member that bonds said liquid crystal panel's second glass substrate and said case;

said bonding member being at the periphery of said liquid crystal panel's effective display section, being provided at the frame part of the area where said first and second glass substrates are overlapped, and moreover, length of the bonding member is narrower than said frame part.

4. The liquid crystal display according to claim 3 , wherein said bonding member is strip-shaped or rim-shaped double-sided tape.
