Abstract

A liquid crystal display apparatus which stores a panel unit in an internal space formed by a front cover and a rear cover include a nail part which is formed on one of side panels of the front cover or the rear cover, and is perpendicular to a plate face of the side panel; and a hole part which is formed in a vicinity area of one of sides of the cover on which the nail part is not formed, and the nail part is inserted in.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid crystal display apparatus which stores a panel unit in an internal space formed by a front cover and a rear cover comprising:

at least one nail part which is formed on a side panel of said front cover, said side panel being formed integrally with said front cover, and is perpendicular to a plate face of said side panel; and

a hole part which is formed in a vicinity area of one of sides of said rear cover, into said hole part said nail part is inserted,

wherein said nail part includes:

a nail insert part to be inserted into said hole part, and

a pent roof part which touches a rising portion when said nail insert part is inserted into said hole part to limit an insertion amount, wherein said rising portion is a step part which is fabricated by bending the vicinity area of the rear cover into a step shape, and

wherein said at least one nail part comprises a plurality of nail parts arranged side by side and said each pent roof part of said two neighboring nail parts is consecutively formed.

2. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a step part having a step shape including a rising portion and a terrace portion is formed in said vicinity area, and said hole part is formed in said rising portion.

3. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

said step part is formed partially in said vicinity area which is opposite to said nail part.

4. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising:

a stopper nail which is formed on said nail part or said terrace portion; and

a stopper hole which is formed on said terrace portion or said nail part for said stopper nail to fit in.

5. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

said terrace portion inclines to said internal space side.

6. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

said terrace portion in said vicinity area which is opposite to said nail part inclines to said internal space side.

7. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

said nail part is formed on a position of a predetermined distance to the side panel center side from an end face of said side panel, and said side panel on the end face side from said nail part covers said vicinity area.

8. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

said nail part has a nail tapered part formed on at least one end face corner of a tip side of said nail part; and

said hole part has a hole tapered part formed on at least one corner of a hole face of said hole part in which said nail part is inserted.

9. The liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

an insulation sheet, which prevents contact of said nail part and said panel unit when said nail part is inserted into said hole part, is installed.

10. A liquid crystal display apparatus which stores a panel unit in an internal space formed by a front cover and a rear cover comprising:

at least one nail part which is formed on a side panel of said front cover, said side panel being formed integrally with said front cover, and is perpendicular to a plate face of said side panel; and

an opening part which is formed at a rising portion and a terrace portion of said rear cover, said nail part being inserted into said opening part,

wherein a gap between said nail part and said rear cover, and a gap between an end face of said terrace portion and said side panel are set to a minimum size respectively, and

wherein a tip area of said nail part touches said rear cover, and a base area of said nail part touches said terrace portion, whereby said nail part functions to increase the strength of said rear cover against an external force that pushes said rear cover towards a direction of said panel unit.
