Liquid crystal display device having improved end reinforcing structure of a chassis surrounding a mold frame
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device has an improved end reinforcing structure of a chassis. The liquid crystal display device comprises: a liquid crystal panel for realizing an image; a backlight unit for irradiating a backlight on the liquid crystal panel; a mold frame for storing the backlight unit; a first chassis for supporting the mold frame and including a hemming processor which is bent at an end of the first chassis so as to have a double thickness; and a reinforcing member installed so that the thickness of the hemming processor is increased. Accordingly, the intensity of the end of the first chassis may be increased, thereby guaranteeing strong durability against an external shock.
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
a liquid crystal panel for realizing an image;
a backlight unit for irradiating a backlight on the liquid crystal panel;
a mold frame for storing the backlight unit;
a first chassis for supporting the mold frame and comprising a hemming processor which is bent at an end of the first chassis so as to have a double thickness; and
a reinforcing member installed so that a thickness of the hemming processor is increased.
2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is inserted into a gap between a main portion and a bent portion of the bent hemming processor.
3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing member comprises a same material as the first chassis.
4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , further comprising a second chassis partially surrounding the hemming processor of the first chassis and the liquid crystal panel.
5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein the first chassis comprises a bottom unit for supporting the backlight unit, and a side unit perpendicularly bent from the bottom unit and comprising the hemming processor at an end, wherein the reinforcing member is installed on the side unit.
6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 5 , wherein a part of the reinforcing member is disposed inside the gap of the hemming processor.
7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is adhered to the hemming processor.
8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 7 , wherein the reinforcing member comprises a same material as the first chassis.
9. The liquid crystal display device of claim 7 , further comprising a second chassis partially surrounding the hemming processor of the first chassis and the liquid crystal panel.
10. The liquid crystal display device of claim 7 , wherein the first chassis comprises a bottom unit for supporting the backlight unit, and a side unit perpendicularly bent from the bottom unit and comprising the hemming processor at an end, wherein the reinforcing member is installed on the side unit.
