Claims (20)

1. An LCD module connecting mechanism for connecting an LCD module to an electronic device, comprising:

an arm having a hook extending from a side thereof, the arm connected to the electronic device;

a frame disposed on a side of the LCD module, having a first opening and a second opening, both on a lateral surface thereof; and

a mold body enclosed by the frame, having a channel on a side thereof to receive the hook, wherein the arm and the frame are connected by inserting the hook through the first opening with the tail of the hook located at the second opening.

2. An LCD module connecting mechanism for connecting an LCD module to an electronic device, comprising:

an arm having a hook extending from a side thereof, the arm connected to the electronic device;

a frame disposed on a side of the LCD module, having a first opening and a second opening, both on a lateral surface thereof; and

a mold body disposed in the LCD module, having a channel to receive the hook, the channel communicating the first and second openings;

wherein the arm and the frame are connected by inserting the hook through the first opening with the tail of the hook located at the second opening.

3. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the size of the second opening is substantially equal to the tail of the hook.

4. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first opening is larger than the second opening.

5. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the mold body has a third opening and a fourth opening connecting the channel, wherein the hook passes through the third opening, the channel and the fourth opening such that the frame is joined with the arm.

6. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the arm further has a depression disposed thereon opposite to the hook.

7. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the hook is C-shaped.

8. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the electronic device is a main body of a notebook computer.

9. An LCD module connecting mechanism for connecting an LCD module to an electronic device, comprising:

a housing covering the electronic device, the housing having a hook extending from a side thereof;

a frame disposed on a side of the LCD module, having a first opening and a second opening, both on a lateral surface thereof; and

a mold body enclosed by the frame, having a channel on a side thereof to receive the hook, the channel communicating the first and second openings, wherein the housing and the frame are connected by inserting the hook through the first opening with the tail of the hook located at the second opening.

10. The LCD module connecting mechanism as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the mold body has a third opening and a fourth opening connecting the channel, wherein the hook passes through the third opening, the channel and the fourth opening such that the frame is joined with the housing.
