Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a back-light assembly for radiating light onto a liquid crystal panel, a main frame having a hook protrusion formed along an upper part for mounting the back-light assembly and the liquid crystal display panel, and a case-top having a plurality of hook plates positioned adjacent to the hook protrusion of the main frame, wherein the case-top includes a bent portions enclosing an edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel and a side portion of the main frame.

Claims (20)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a back-light assembly for radiating light onto a liquid crystal panel;

a main frame having a hook protrusion formed along an upper part for mounting the back-light assembly and the liquid crystal display panel; and

a case-top having a plurality of hook plates positioned adjacent to the hook protrusion of the main frame, side portions of the hook plates face side portions of the hook protrusion,

wherein the case-top includes a bent portions enclosing an edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel and a side portion of the main frame.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a panel guide support having a first protrusion extending between the liquid crystal display panel and the back-light assembly, a second protrusion extending between the plurality of hook plates and the liquid crystal display panel, and a third protrusion extending between the main frame and the plurality of hook plates.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the first protrusion contacts the liquid crystal display panel, the second protrusion contacts the case-top, and the third protrusion contacts the plurality of hook plates and the main frame.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is mounted on the first protrusion of the panel guide support.

5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein a portion of the case-top extends over a side portion of the liquid crystal display panel by a first distance and second distance.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the first distance is about 1.3 mm and the second distance is about 1.5 mm.

7. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

forming a back-light assembly for radiating light onto a liquid crystal panel;

forming a main frame having a hook protrusion formed along an upper part for mounting the back-light assembly and the liquid crystal display panel; and

forming a case-top having a plurality of hook plates positioned adjacent to the hook protrusion of the main frame, side portions of the hook plates face side portions of the hook protrusion,

wherein the case-top includes a bent portion enclosing an edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel and a side portion of the main frame.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising forming a panel guide support having a first protrusion extending between the liquid crystal display panel and the back-light assembly, a second protrusion extending between the plurality of hook plates and the liquid crystal display panel, and a third protrusion extending between the main frame and the plurality of hook plates.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first protrusion contacts the liquid crystal display panel, the second protrusion contacts the case-top, and the third protrusion contacts the plurality of hook plates and the main frame.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is mounted on the first protrusion of the panel guide support.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a portion of the case-top extends over a side portion of the liquid crystal display panel by a first distance and second distance.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first distance is about 1.3 mm and the second distance is about 1.5 mm.
