Abstract

A liquid crystal display device capable of reducing or preventing display irregularities is provided. In the liquid crystal display device including: an upper frame, a lower frame, a BL resin frame and a liquid crystal display panel and used as a display part as incorporated in an equipment, the liquid crystal display panel is fixed by the upper frame (fixation area). The BL resin frame includes BL resin frame ribs serving as a receiving part to receive a fixing device for fixing the liquid crystal display device to the equipment.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an upper frame including a top side part having a display opening, and a lateral side part; a lower frame disposed under the upper frame and including a bottom side part and a lateral side part; a backlight retaining resin frame disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame; and a liquid crystal display panel disposed inside the resin frame, and used as a display part as incorporated in an equipment,

wherein the liquid crystal display panel is fixed by the upper frame,

the upper frame includes a plurality of openings in the top side part thereof,

the resin frame includes resin frame ribs protruded from the plural openings, respectively, and

the resin frame ribs are a receiving part to receive a fixing device for fixing the liquid crystal display device to the equipment.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the minimum width of the resin frame rib is equal to or more than ½ of the width of the resin frame along a side wall part of the lower frame.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the resin frame rib has a tapered configuration where a top surface of the resin frame rib has the minimum width.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin frame ribs are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a center line extending along the long side of the liquid crystal display device.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the resin frame at a region free of the resin frame ribs defines a clearance with respect to a bottom surface of the top side part of the upper frame.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is fixed to the top side part of the upper frame with a double-sided adhesive tape.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel includes a touch panel and a protective plate laminated in this order.

8. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an upper frame including a top side part having a display opening, and a lateral side part; a lower frame disposed under the upper frame and including a bottom side part and a lateral side part; a backlight retaining resin frame disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame; and a liquid crystal display panel disposed inside the resin frame, and used as a display part as incorporated in an equipment,

wherein the liquid crystal display panel has a laminate structure where a TFT substrate having TFTs formed thereon, a CF substrate having a color filter formed thereon, a touch panel and a glass protective plate are laminated in this order, and has the CF substrate fixed by the upper frame,

the upper frame includes a plurality of openings in the top side part thereof,

the resin frame includes resin frame ribs protruded from the plural openings, respectively, and

the resin frame rib includes: a receiving part to receive a fixing device for fixing the liquid crystal display device to the equipment; and

a receiving part to receive the glass protective plate.

9. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the fixing-device receiving part of the resin frame rib has a width greater than a width of the receiving part for the glass protective plate.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the resin frame ribs are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a center line extending along the long side of the liquid crystal display panel.

11. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein a top surface of the resin frame at a region free of the resin frame ribs defines a clearance with respect to a bottom surface of the top side part of the upper frame.

12. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is fixed to the top side part of the upper frame with a double-sided adhesive tape.
