Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight unit. A case top covers edges of the liquid crystal display panel. At least one resilient metallic member contacts a portion of the case top as well as an upper glass substrate of the liquid crystal display panel and a plastic support main on which the liquid crystal display panel is supported and into which the backlight unit is fit. The resilient metallic member grounds the liquid crystal display panel to the case top, thereby preventing static electricity from damaging the liquid crystal display panel.
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a liquid crystal display panel;
a case top covering edges of the liquid crystal display panel;
an insulating support main configured to support the liquid crystal display panel, the insulating support main further including a peg; and a coiled compressible conductive member disposed on the peg and biased between the case top and the liquid crystal display panel to provide electrical contact between the liquid crystal display panel and the case top.
2. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member contacts the liquid crystal display panel and the case top.
3. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal panel comprises opposing substrates, one of the substrates contacting the support main.
4. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member is attached to the case top.
5. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member is attached to the liquid crystal panel.
6. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compressible conductive member is disengageable from the liquid crystal panel.
7. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member is resilient.
8. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member provides physical contact between the liquid crystal display panel and the case top.
9. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compressible conductive member provides physical contact between the liquid crystal display panel and the support main.
10. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member is laterally constrained by the support main.
11. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coiled compressible conductive member is non-adhesive.
