Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel; and a case for supporting the liquid crystal display panel, the case having a bottom cover, the bottom cover has an adjustable size based on a size of the liquid crystal display panel for accommodating the liquid crystal display panel.

Claims (45)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a case for supporting the liquid crystal display panel; and

a bottom cover being combined with the ease and including a base plate and a slidable plate,

wherein the slidable plate has an adjustable size based on a size of the liquid crystal display panel and at least one groove along a sliding direction of the slidable plate, and

wherein the base plate includes at least one protrusion through the at least one groove, a slidable range of the slidable plate being limited by a length of the groove.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover includes:

the base plate having a fixed size; and

the slidable plate having the adjustable size for accommodating the liquid crystal display panel, the slidable plate being horizontally slidable on the base plate to adjust the size of the liquid crystal display panel.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an adjusting device on the base plate for adjusting slide of the slidable plate.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the slidable plate includes a plurality of sub slidable plates, each of the sub slidable plates being slidable independently.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the sub slidable plates includes:

a sub-plane horizontally slidable on the base plate; and

a sidewall vertical extending from the sub-plate.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

an adjusting device on the base plate, the adjusting device being in contact with the sidewall of at least one of the sub slidable plates to horizontally slide the at least one of the sub slidable plates.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein the adjusting device passes through the base plate to be in contact with the sidewall of at least one of the sub slidable plates.

8. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 7 , wherein the base plate includes:

a base plane; and

a base sidewall vertically extending from the base plane, the adjusting device passes through the base sidewall of the base plate to be in contact with the sidewall of the sub-plane.

9. The liquid crystal display device, according to claim 6 , wherein the adjusting device is at least one screw.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the case includes a support frame for accommodating the liquid crystal display panel, the bottom cover being located at a bottom side of the support frame.

11. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a case for supporting the liquid crystal display panel; and

a cover being combined with the case,

wherein the cover includes:

an outer plate having a fixed size; and

an inner plate for accommodating the liquid crystal display panel, the inner plate being surrounded by the outer plate,

wherein the inner plate has an adjustable size based on a size of the liquid crystal display panel and at least one groove along a sliding direction of the inner plate, and

wherein the outer plate includes at least one protrusion through the at least one groove, a slidable range of the slidable plate being limited by a length of the groove.

12. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 11 , wherein the inner plate is horizontally slidable on the outer plate to adjust the size of the inner plate.

13. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 12 , wherein the inner plate includes a plurality of sub slidable plates, each of the sub slidable plates being slidable independently.

14. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 13 , wherein each of the sub slidable plates includes:

a sub-plane horizontally slidable on the outer plate; and

a sidewall vertical extending from the sub-plate.

15. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 14 , further comprising:

an adjusting device on the outer plate, the adjusting device being in contact with the sidewall of at least one of the sub slidable plates to horizontally slide the at least one of the sub slidable plates.

16. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 15 , wherein the adjusting device passes through the outer plate to be in contact with the sidewall of at least one of the sub slidable plates.

17. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 16 , wherein the adjusting device is at least one screw.

18. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 16 , wherein the outer plate includes:

a base plane; and

a base sidewall vertically extending from the base plane, the adjusting device passes through the base sidewall of the outer plate to be in contact with the sidewall of the sub-plane.

19. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 11 , wherein the case includes a support frame for accommodating the liquid crystal display panel, the cover being located at a bottom side of the support frame.
