Image display apparatus and support pin
View Patent ↗An image display apparatus includes: back frame light-emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on a back frame; a luminance uniforming plate which makes uniform luminance of light emitted by the LEDs; a diffuser plate which is disposed on a front-surface side of the luminance uniforming plate and a support pin which is fixed to the back frame, extends to penetrate through the luminance uniforming plate, and has a tip end that supports the diffuser plate. The support pin includes: a pedestal which is fixed to an opening portion formed in the back frame; and a support which includes the tip end, and extends from the pedestal toward a front-surface side. The pedestal includes a holding portion (first portion and second portion) which holds the back frame in a thickness direction of the back frame, and a portion of the holding portion on which the back frame is disposed is stepped.
1. An image display apparatus, comprising:
a back frame disposed on a rear-surface side of a display panel, the back frame having a first surface on a front-surface side of the back frame, and a second surface opposite to, and parallel with, the first surface;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on the front-surface side of the back frame;
a luminance uniforming plate which is disposed on a front-surface side of the plurality of LEDs to cover the plurality of LEDs, and makes uniform luminance of light emitted by the plurality of LEDs;
a diffuser plate which is disposed on a front-surface side of the luminance uniforming plate, and diffuses light transmitted through the luminance uniforming plate; and
a support pin which is fixed to the back frame, extends to penetrate through the luminance uniforming plate, and has a tip end that supports the diffuser plate, wherein the support pin includes:
a pedestal which is fixed to an opening portion formed in the back frame; and
a support which includes the tip end, and extends from the pedestal toward a front-surface side of the display panel,
the pedestal includes
a first holding portion, and
a second holding portion having an upper step surface that is one single flat surface and a lower step surface surrounding the upper step surface, the upper step surface being closer to the surface of the first holding portion than the lower step surface,
the first holding portion and the second holding portion sandwiches the back frame, and one of the upper step surface and the lower step surface is in contact with the second surface of the back frame when the first holding portion and the second holding portion sandwiches the back frame.
2. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the pedestal includes a pair of claws which engage with a pair of edge portions located at opposing positions in the opening portion of the back frame.
3. A support pin included in an image display apparatus that includes: a back frame disposed on a rear-surface side of a display panel, the back frame having a first surface on a front-surface side of the back frame, and a second surface opposite to, and parallel with, the first surface; a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on a front-surface side of the back frame; a luminance uniforming plate which is disposed on a front-surface side of the plurality of LEDs to cover the plurality of LEDs, and makes uniform luminance of light emitted by the plurality of LEDs; and a diffuser plate which is disposed on a front-surface side of the luminance uniforming plate, and diffuses light transmitted through the luminance uniforming plate, the support pin comprising: a pedestal which is fixed to an opening portion formed in the back frame; and a support which extends from the pedestal toward a front-surface side of the display panel to penetrate through the luminance uniforming plate, and has a tip end that supports the diffuser plate, wherein the pedestal includes a first holding portion, and a second holding portion having an upper step surface that is one single flat surface and a lower step surface surrounding the upper step surface, the upper step surface being closer to the surface of the first holding portion than the lower step surface, the first holding portion and the second holding portion sandwiches the back frame, and one of the upper step surface and the lower step surface is in contact with the second surface of the back frame when the first holding portion and the second holding portion sandwiches the back frame.
