Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a panel, a frame, a bottom cover, and a top cover. The panel has at least one protrusion. The frame has at least one elastic positioning element abutting against the protrusion. The bottom cover accommodates the frame and the panel. The top cover covers the bottom cover.

Claims (26)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a panel having at least one protrusion;

a frame having at least one elastic positioning element abutting against the protrusion to restrict the panel from moving on a base plane, wherein the panel is parallel to the base plane;

a bottom cover accommodating the frame and the panel; and

a top cover covering the bottom cover.

2. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame further has a wall, and the elastic positioning element is extended from the wall.

3. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic positioning element is a hook engaging the protrusion.

4. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an end of the hook has a lead angle.

5. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of plastic materials.

6. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of metal.

7. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the panel has a displaying part and a non-displaying part adjoining the displaying part.

8. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the non-displaying part has a top surface, and the protrusion is disposed on the top surface.

9. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is made of insulating materials.

10. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the protrusion is a blank circuit board.

11. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has at least one lead angle.

12. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

an upper prism sheet disposed below the frame;

a bottom prism sheet disposed below the upper prism sheet;

a diffuser disposed below the bottom prism sheet;

a light guide plate disposed below the diffuser;

a reflector disposed below the light guide plate; and

a plurality of light emitting diodes toward the incident edge surface of light guide plate.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 ; and

an input unit, coupled to the liquid crystal display, providing an input to the liquid crystal display to show images.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone, a digital camera, a personal digital assistant, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a television, a car display, or a portable digital versatile disk player.
