LCD support assembly
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device capable of securing the lamp wire to the mold frame is disclosed. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image, a back light assembly for providing a light to the liquid crystal display panel and a mold frame receiving the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight assembly. The back light assembly includes a light supplying part including a light source for generating a light and a lamp wire for supplying an electrical current to the light supplying part. A securing portion for securing the lamp wire is formed on a side surface or a rear surface of the mold frame, shaped as a groove or a depressed portion, and the lamp wire is secured to the securing portion in such a way that securing and separation of the lamp wire is performed with ease and simplicity. A pair of securing ribs are formed on the bottom of the securing depressed portions facing each other. The lamp wire is secured in the space between a pair of the securing ribs having a width less than a diameter of the lamp wire. Accordingly, a connection failure of the soldering portion of the lamp wire due to a sway of the lamp wire is reduced and the repeated process of securing the lamp wire in manufacturing the LCD device is no longer necessary.
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:
an LCD panel;
a backlight assembly comprising a lamp wire and a light supplying part including a light source; and
a mold frame receiving the backlight assembly and the LCD panel and having a groove formed on a side surface of the mold frame, the groove including an opening portion for inserting the lamp wire, a bottom surface facing the opening portion, and first and second sidewalls perpendicular to the bottom surface, wherein a distance between the first and second sidewalls perpendicular to the bottom surface, wherein a distance between the first and second sidewalls is greater than 80% of a diameter of the lamp wire but less than the diameter of the lamp wire.
2. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:
an LCD panel;
a backlight assembly comprising a lamp wire and a light supplying part including a light source;
a mold frame receiving the backlight assembly and the LCD panel and having a groove formed on a side surface of the mold frame, the groove including an opening portion for inserting the lamp wire, a bottom surface facing the opening portion, a first and second sidewalls perpendicular to the bottom surface; and
a protrusion formed either on the first sidewall or on the second sidewall of the groove.
3. The LCD device of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion comprises a first protrusion protruded from the first sidewall of the groove and a second protrusion protruded from the lower surface of the groove, the first protrusion and the second protrusion being positioned alternately.
4. The LCD device of claim 3 , wherein the first protrusion is positioned near the opening portion of the groove and the second protrusion is positioned near the bottom surface of the groove, the first protrusion and the second protrusion being contained on a same cross sectional plane.
