On the resin frame member 3 , a projection 33 in the shape of a picture frame is formed to project therefrom so as to surround an outer edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 mounted above. In a tip portion of the projection 33 , ribs 34 having a predetermined height are formed at a predetermined interval in the length direction of the picture frame. The ribs 34 support the front-face frame 6.

Claims (13)

1 . A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a resin frame member on which the liquid crystal display panel is mounted and that is formed in a shape of a picture frame; and

a front-face frame that is formed in a shape of a box having an open portion, that covers an edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel and the frame member, and that, at side faces thereof, engages with the frame member,

wherein the frame member has formed thereon:

a projection in a shape of a picture frame, the projection being formed so as to surround an outer edge portion of the liquid crystal display panel; and

ribs having a predetermined height, the ribs being formed in a tip portion of the projection and arranged at a predetermined interval in a length direction of the picture frame so as to support the front-face frame.

2 . The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the ribs are formed at least in four corners of the projection in the shape of the picture frame.

3 . The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein there is provided a back case on which a backlight unit located below the liquid crystal display panel is mounted, the back case, at side faces thereof, engaging with the frame member, the frame member being formed by joining together a pair of shorter-side frame segments and a pair of longer-side frame segments, one of the pair of shorter-side frame segments having a plurality of holes formed therein so as to extend in a length direction and penetrate in a height direction.

4 . The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the projection in the shape of the picture frame is so formed as to be lower in a portion thereof where a wiring circuit board of the liquid crystal display panel mounted thereon is located than elsewhere.
