Abstract

A liquid crystal cell carrying case includes a box having a cavity, first and second coupling parts along opposing sides of the cavity for securing a plurality of liquid crystal cells therebetween, and a cover for covering the box, the box and the cover being made of a resin material.

Claims (27)

1. A liquid crystal cell carrying case comprising:

a box having a cavity;

first and second coupling parts along opposing sides of the cavity for securing a plurality of liquid crystal cells therebetween; and

a cover for covering the box, the box and the cover being made of a resin material,

wherein the first and second coupling parts include a plurality of protrusions,

wherein each of the protrusions includes a first surface being substantially parallel to an edge of the box and a second surface being inclined with respect to the same edge of the box,

wherein four of the coupling protrusions that are closest to the edge of the box have a larger width than other coupling protrusions.

2. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , wherein the resin includes one of a polyethylene-based resin, a polypropylene-based resin and a combination thereof.

3. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , wherein an inner portion of the box is made of a polyethylene-based resin, and an outer portion of the box is made of a polypropylene-based resin.

4. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , wherein an inner portion of the cover is made of a polyethylene-based resin, and an outer portion of the cover is made of a polypropylene-based resin.

5. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , further comprising a pad at a bottom surface of the cavity.

6. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 5 , wherein the pad is detachably installed at the bottom surface of the cavity.

7. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , further comprising a rubber band formed along an upper circumference of the box, the rubber band attaching the box and the cover to each other.

8. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second coupling parts have alternative concave-convex shapes.

9. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of belt grooves on outer surfaces of the box and the cover.

10. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of vacuum grooves on an upper surface of the cover.

11. A liquid crystal cell carrying case comprising:

a box having a cavity;

first and second coupling parts along opposing sides of the cavity for securing a plurality of liquid crystal cells therebetween, the first and second coupling parts being integrally formed with the box as a single body, each of the first and second coupling parts including a plurality of protrusions, each of the protrusions having a first surface being substantially parallel to an edge of the box and a second surface being inclined with respect to the same edge of the box; and

a cover for covering the box,

wherein four of the coupling protrusions that are closest to the edge of the box have a larger width than other coupling protrusions.

12. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , wherein the box and the cover include one of a polyethylene-based resin, a polypropylene-based resin and a combination thereof.

13. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , wherein inner portions of the box and the cover are made of a polyethylene-based resin, and outer portions of the box and the cover are made of a polypropylene-based resin.

14. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , further comprising a rubber band formed along an upper circumference of the box, the rubber band attaching the box and the cover to each other.

15. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , further comprising a pad at a bottom surface of the cavity.

16. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of belt grooves on outer surfaces of the box and the cover.

17. The liquid crystal cell carrying case according to claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of vacuum grooves on an upper surface of the cover.
