Abstract

An upper frame and a lower frame are prevented from coming close to each other within a predetermined distance by a push-in preventing pawl and an abutting part, while preventing the upper and lower frames from coming off by a come-off preventing pawl and an engagement part. In this manner, it becomes possible to prevent the load which causes deterioration of the display quality from being applied to a liquid crystal display panel, so that the reliability can be enhanced.

Claims (14)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel having a display surface and a frame surface located on a circumference of the display surface;

a first frame provided so as to overlap the frame surface;

a second frame attached to the first frame;

a first wall part provided on the first frame and serving as an attaching part to the second frame;

a second wall part provided on the second frame to be opposed to the first wall part and serving as an attaching part to the first frame;

an opening which is provided in one of the wall parts and penetrates in a direction in which the wall parts are opposed and into which an engagement part provided in the other of the wall parts enters, and a come-off preventing pawl which protrudes toward the other of the wall parts and engages with the engagement part to prevent the frames from coming off;

an opening which is provided in the other of the wall parts and penetrates, in the direction in which the wall parts are opposed and into which the come-off preventing pawl enters, and the engagement part which protrudes toward the one of the wall parts and with which the come-off preventing pawl is engaged;

a push-in preventing pawl which is provided on the wall part disposed on an inner side in a state where the wall parts are attached to each other and prevents the frames from coming close to each other within a predetermined distance; and

a cutout which is provided on the wall part disposed on an outer side in the state where the wall parts are attached to each other and into which the push-in preventing pawl enters, an abutting part which forms a bottom part of the cutout and on which the push-in preventing pawl abuts, and a bridging part which reinforces an opening formed on an opposite side of the bottom part of the cutout in an attaching direction of the frames and through which the push-in preventing pawl passes,

wherein the push-in preventing pawl provided in the wall part on the inner side protrudes toward the wall part disposed on the outer side, and

the bridging part provided in the wall part on the outer side protrudes toward an opposite side of the wall part disposed on the inner side.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the come-off preventing pawl and the engagement part and also the push-in preventing pawl and the abutting part are plural in number and are provided along circumferences of the respective frames, and the number of the push-in preventing pawls and abutting parts is larger than the number of the come-off preventing pawls and engagement parts.
