Abstract

Disclosed herein is a liquid crystal module having a liquid crystal display panel, and a backlight unit disposed on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel has a flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel. The backlight unit has a light guiding plate, a light emitting diode for emitting a light, a flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode, and a case in which the light guiding plate and the flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode are accommodated. The flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel extends along a side surface of the case. The flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode has a derivation portion.

Claims (14)

1. A liquid crystal module having a liquid crystal display panel, and a backlight unit disposed on a back surface of said liquid crystal display panel,

wherein said liquid crystal display panel has a flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel;

said backlight unit has a light guiding plate, a light emitting diode for emitting a light to a side surface of said light guiding plate, a flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode to which said light emitting diode is mounted, and a case in which said light guiding plate and said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode are accommodated;

said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel extends along a side surface of said case; said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode has a derivation portion which is fixed to an inner side of a sidewall of said case and is electrically connected to said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel; and

said derivation portion of said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode is derived from a position closer to said liquid crystal display panel than to a bottom surface of said case to an outside of said backlight unit.

2. The liquid crystal module according to claim 1 , wherein said derivation portion of said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode is derived from said side surface of said case.

3. The liquid crystal module according to claim 1 , wherein said derivation portion of said flexible printed wiring circuit substrate for a light emitting diode is derived from said upper surface of said case.

4. The liquid crystal module according to claim 1 , wherein an attachment for attaching said liquid crystal module is disposed on a bottom surface of said case.

5. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a liquid crystal module having a liquid crystal display panel, and a backlight unit disposed on a back surface of said liquid crystal display panel,
