Abstract

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display panel, a driver printed circuit board, a backlight assembly and a receiving container. The driver printed circuit board is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display panel to provide the liquid crystal display panel with the image date. The backlight assembly is disposed under the liquid crystal display panel. The receiving container has front side and back side. The front side supports the backlight assembly. First and second protrusion portions are formed on a backside to support the driver printed circuit board, such that the driver printed circuit board is spaced apart from the backside of the receiving container. Thus, a work for lifting up the data PCB to insert the digitizer into between the data PCB and the receiving container is not required, so that productivity is enhanced.

Claims (28)

1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel that receives image data and displays an image according to the image data;

a data printed circuit board that is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display panel to provide the liquid crystal display panel with the image data;

a backlight assembly disposed under the liquid crystal display panel to provide the liquid crystal display panel with a light;

a digitizer; and

a receiving container having a front side and a back side, the front side supporting the backlight assembly, first and second protrusion portions being formed on the back side to support the data printed circuit board, such that the data printed circuit board is spaced apart from the back side of the receiving container to form an insertion space that extends from the first protrusion portion to the second protrusion portion, the insertion space being configured to facilitate insertion of the digitizer between the data printed circuit board and the receiving container.

2. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiving container includes first and second connection portions protruding from end portions of the receiving container, such that a width of the end portion of the receiving container is larger than a width of the receiving container, the first and second protrusion portions protrude from the first and second connection portions respectively, and the first and second protrusion portions include first and second connection holes respectively.

3. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the data printed circuit board includes third and fourth connection portions corresponding to the first and second connection portions of the receiving container, the third and fourth connection portions have third and fourth connection holes respectively, and the third and fourth connection holes correspond to the first and second connection holes respectively.

4. The liquid crystal apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a first bolt penetrates the first and third connection holes and a second bolt penetrates the second and fourth connection holes, so that the data printed circuit board and the receiving container are combined together, such that the data printed circuit board and the receiving container are spaced apart from each other.

5. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second protrusion portions are disposed on the edge portion of the receiving container, and the first and second protrusion portions have first and second connection holes.

6. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the data printed circuit board includes third and fourth connection holes corresponding to the first and second connection holes, respectively.

7. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a first bolt penetrates the first and third connection holes and a second bolt penetrates the second and fourth connection holes to combine the data printed circuit board and the receiving container, such that the data printed circuit board and the receiving container are spaced apart from each other.

8. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digitizer is chamfered to be disposed between the data printed circuit board and the receiving container.

9. A tablet personal computer comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel that receives image data and displays an image according to the image data;

a data printed circuit board that is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display panel to provide the liquid crystal display panel with the image data;

a backlight assembly disposed under the liquid crystal display panel to provide the liquid crystal display panel with a light;

a digitizer;

a receiving container having a front side and a back side, the front side supporting the bacldight assembly, first and second protrusion portions being formed on a back side to support the data printed circuit board, such that the data printed circuit board is spaced apart from the back side of the receiving container to form an insertion space that extends from the first protrusion portion to the second protrusion portion, the insertion space being configured to facilitate insertion of the digitizer between the data printed circuit board and the receiving container;

a chassis that receives the liquid crystal display panel and backlight assembly; and

wherein the digitizer provides the data printed circuit board with signals corresponding to coordinate information.

10. The tablet personal computer of claim 9 , wherein the receiving container includes fiist and second connection portions protruding from end portions of the receiving container, such that a width of the end portion of the receiving container is larger than a width of the receiving container, the first and second protusion portions protrude from the first and second connection portions respectively, and the first and second protrusion portions includes first and second connection holes, respectively.

11. The tablet personal computer of claim 10 , wherein the data printed circuit board includes third and fourth connection portions corresponding to the first and second connection portion of the receiving container, the third and fourth connection portions have third and fourth connection holes respectively, and the third and fourth connection holes correspond to the first and second connection holes respectively.

12. The tablet personal computer of claim 11 , wherein first bolt penetrates the first and third connection holes and second bolt penetrates the second and fourth connection holes, so that the data printed circuit board and receiving container are combined together, such that the data printed circuit board and the receiving container are spaced apart from each other.

13. The tablet personal computer of claim 9 , wherein the first and second protrusion portions are disposed on the edge portion of the receiving container, and the first and second protrusion portions have first and second connection holes.

14. The tablet personal computer of claim 13 , wherein the data printed circuit board includes third and fourth connection holes corresponding to the first and second connection holes respectively.

15. The tablet personal computer of claim 14 , wherein a first bolt penetrates the first and third connection holes and a second bolt penetrates the second and fourth connection holes to combine the data printed circuit board and the receiving container, such that the printed circuit board and the receiving container are spaced apart from each other.

16. The tablet personal computer of claim 15 , wherein the digitizer is chamfered to be disposed between the data printed circuit board and the receiving container.
