Liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating the same
View Patent ↗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.
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.
