Abstract

A monitor correction apparatus and a monitor having the same are provided. The monitor having the monitor correction apparatus includes a display panel and a first frame. The first frame covers a perimeter of the display panel and defines a display area. The monitor correction apparatus includes a front bezel that is integrally formed with the first frame and covers a part of the display area. Moreover, the monitor correction apparatus includes guide pins that are formed inside the first frame and near the front bezel. The monitor correction apparatus also includes a flexible printed circuit board which has at least one guide hole to be inserted by the guide pins. One end of the flexible printed circuit board extends into the front bezel. An optical sensor is disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and inside the front bezel and has an optical signal receiving zone.

Claims (28)

1. A monitor correction apparatus for use with a monitor which comprises a display panel and a first frame, the first frame covering a perimeter of the display panel to define a display area, the monitor correction apparatus being characterized by comprising:

a front bezel integrally formed with the first frame and covering a part of the display area;

at least a guide pin disposed inside the first frame and near the front bezel;

a flexible printed circuit board having at least a guide hole for being inserted by the guide pin, the flexible printed circuit board having an end extending into the front bezel; and

an optical sensor disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and inside the front bezel and having an optical signal receiving zone.

2. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a support pad having an opening and disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and around the optical sensor.

3. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said opening has an area which is larger than that of said optical signal receiving zone.

4. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a second frame disposed inside the first frame and securing both the support pad and the flexible printed circuit board to the front bezel, wherein the second frame comprises a window which is located in position above and corresponding to the optical sensor.

5. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said window has an area which is larger than that of said optical signal receiving zone.

6. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a screw fastening assembly for securing the second frame inside the first frame.

7. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 1 , wherein there are two said guide pins and two said guide holes.

8. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said part of the display area covered by the front bezel has an area which is not greater than 1% of the display area.

9. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the optical sensor and an edge of the display area is no less than 0.7 mm.

10. The monitor correction apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the optical sensor is vertically spaced from the display area by no more than 5 mm.

11. A monitor having a monitor correction apparatus, comprising a display panel, a first frame, and the monitor correction apparatus, wherein the first frame covers a perimeter of the display panel and defines a display area, the monitor being characterized in that the monitor correction apparatus comprises:

a front bezel integrally formed with the first frame and covering a part of the display area;

at least a guide pin disposed inside the first frame and near the front bezel;

a flexible printed circuit board having at least a guide hole for being inserted by the guide pin, the flexible printed circuit board having an end extending into the front bezel; and

an optical sensor disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and inside the front bezel and having an optical signal receiving zone.

12. The monitor of claim 11 , further comprising a support pad having an opening and disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and around the optical sensor.

13. The monitor of claim 12 , wherein said opening has an area which is larger than that of the optical signal receiving zone.

14. The monitor of claim 13 , further comprising a second frame disposed inside the first frame and securing both the support pad and the flexible printed circuit board to the front bezel, wherein the second frame comprises a window which is located in position above and corresponding to the optical sensor.

15. The monitor of claim 14 , wherein said window has an area which is larger than that of the optical signal receiving zone.

16. The monitor of claim 14 , further comprising a screw fastening assembly for securing the second frame inside the first frame.

17. The monitor of claim 11 , wherein there are two said guide pins and two said guide holes.

18. The monitor of claim 11 , wherein the part of the display area covered by the front bezel has an area which is not greater than 1% of the display area.

19. The monitor of claim 11 , wherein the distance between the optical sensor and an edge of the display area is no less than 0.7 mm.

20. The monitor of claim 11 , wherein the optical sensor is vertically spaced from the display area by at no more than 5 mm.
