Abstract

A liquid crystal display device ( 1 ) includes a liquid crystal display panel ( 2 ), a metal backlight chassis ( 4 ), a metal bezel ( 13 ), a printed circuit board ( 31 ), an electric conductor ( 14 ) via which the metal backlight chassis ( 4 ) and a ground land part ( 31 f ) of the printed circuit board ( 31 ) are electrically connected with each other, and a frame ( 10 ) having an insertion hole in which the electric conductor ( 14 ) is inserted.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a metal backlight chassis attached so as to cover a back surface of a backlight unit which irradiates the liquid crystal display panel with light;

a bezel in a shape of a frame, which bezel is attached so as to cover an upper surface and a side surface of a periphery of the liquid crystal display panel;

a printed circuit board provided between a periphery of the backlight unit and the bezel;

an electric conductor via which a side wall of the metal backlight chassis and a ground land part of the printed circuit board are electrically connected with each other; and

a frame provided between the metal backlight chassis and the printed circuit board, the frame having an insertion hole in which the electric conductor is inserted,

wherein:

the frame has a plurality of insertion holes arranged along a direction of a short side of a sidewall of the frame; and

the electric conductor is inserted in any of the plurality of insertion holes.

2. The liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:

the frame has a plurality of insertion holes arranged along a direction of a long side of the frame; and

the electric conductor is inserted in each of the plurality of insertion holes.

3. The liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the electric conductor is elastically deformable.

4. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a metal backlight chassis attached so as to cover a back surface of a backlight unit which irradiates the liquid crystal display panel with light;

a bezel in a shape of a frame attached so as to cover an upper surface and a side surface of a periphery of the liquid crystal display panel;

a heat sink electrically connected to a periphery of the backlight unit;

a printed circuit board provided between the heat sink and the bezel;

an electric conductor via which a side wall of the heat sink and a ground land part of the printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other; and

a frame provided between the heat sink and the printed circuit board, the frame having an insertion hole in which the electric conductor is to be inserted,

wherein:

the frame has a plurality of insertion holes arranged along a direction of a short side of a sidewall of the frame.

5. The liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein:

the electric conductor is inserted in any of the plurality of insertion holes.

6. The liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein:

the frame has a plurality of insertion holes arranged along a direction of a long side of the frame; and

the electric conductor is inserted in each of the plurality of insertion holes.

7. The liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the electric conductor is elastically deformable.
