Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel; a light source unit; a chassis which holds the both; and a front frame which holds circumference of the front face side of the liquid crystal panel. The light source unit includes: a light guiding plate which outputs surface light; a light emitting body mounting board provided to the light guiding plate to hold a plurality of LEDs; and a rear frame having a light reflecting function and mounted to the back face side of the light guiding plate. The light source unit reinforcing plate is provided at least to the outer face of the rear frame, and the end part of the light source unit reinforcing plate on the light emitting body mounting board side is bent along the end part of the light guiding plate to be abutted against the light emitting body mounting board.

Claims (18)

1 . A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel; a light source unit provided on a back face side of the liquid crystal panel; a chassis which holds a peripheral edge part of the light source unit together with the liquid crystal panel; and a front frame which holds circumference on a front face side of the liquid crystal panel together with the chassis, wherein:

the light source unit is structured by including a light guiding plate which outputs surface light towards the liquid crystal panel, a light emitting body mounting board which holds a plurality of light emitting elements which are disposed by opposing to an end face of an end part of the light guiding plate, and a rear frame which holds the light guiding plate on a back face side and is provided with a light reflecting function; and

a light source unit reinforcing plate is provided on an outer face of the rear frame by corresponding to a part of the light guiding plate, and an end part of the light source unit reinforcing plate on the light emitting body mounting board side is bent along the end face of the light guiding plate and abutted against the back face side of the light emitting body mounting board to be in an integrated structure.

2 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

instead of the end part of the light source unit reinforcing plate on the light emitting body mounting board side, an end part of the rear frame on the light emitting body mounting board side is bent along the end face of the light guiding plate to be abutted against the back face side of the light emitting body mounting board.

3 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the light source unit reinforcing plate is constituted with: a first terrace part and a second terrace part with both edge parts thereof being abutted against the rear frame and integrally coupled thereto; and an inverted-U-shape cross-sectional flat plate part which is a layered space formed on an inner side with a center region part being isolated from the rear frame.

4 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein

the light source unit reinforcing plate includes a plurality of ventilation holes in the inverted-U-shape cross-sectional flat plate part.

5 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

a signal processing board which is held to the light source unit reinforcing plate and forms a specific layered space between with the light source unit reinforcing plate is provided on an outer face side of the light source unit reinforcing plate, and a signal processing circuit for driving the liquid crystal panel is mounted to the signal processing board.

6 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the light source unit is mounted to the chassis to be freely detachable along with the light source unit reinforcing plate.

7 . A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel; a light source unit provided on a back face side of the liquid crystal panel; a chassis which holds a peripheral edge part of the light source unit together with the liquid crystal panel; and a front frame which holds circumference on a front face side of the liquid crystal panel together with the chassis, wherein:

the light source unit is structured by including light guiding means for outputting surface light towards the liquid crystal panel, a light emitting body mounting board which holds a plurality of light emitting elements which are disposed by opposing to an end face of an end part of the light guiding means, and rear frame means which holds the light guiding means on a back face side for reflecting light; and

a light source unit reinforcing plate is provided on an outer face of the rear frame by corresponding to a part of the light guiding means, and an end part of the light source unit reinforcing plate on the light emitting body mounting board side is bent along the end face of the light guiding means and abutted against the back face side of the light emitting body mounting board to be in an integrated structure.
