Abstract

Provided is a structure for holding a display module, including: a display module; a housing member that is a box-like member which houses the display module, has openings in a surface facing a display surface of the display module housed therein, and has locking holes in side surface parts; and a plate-like member that is a plate-like one which is arranged on a rear surface of the display module housed in the first member, has engagement claws that protrude outward on an edge side part and has on a plane part elastic holding pieces which press the display module from the rear surface side, and locks the engagement claws fitted in the locking holes by reaction force of pressing by the elastic holding pieces.

Claims (12)

1. A structure for holding a display module comprising:

a display module;

a first member that is a box-like member which houses the display module, has an opening in a surface facing a display surface of the display module housed therein, and has a locking hole in a side surface part;

a second member that is a plate-like member which is arranged on a rear surface of the display module housed in the first member, has an engagement claw that protrudes outward on an edge side part and has on a plane part an elastic holding piece which presses the display module from a rear surface side, and locks the engagement claw that is fitted in the locking hole by reaction force of pressing by the elastic holding piece; and

a box-like third member that covers the second member housed in the first member, and a peripheral side part of the first member,

wherein the locking hole is a slit that is opened to an end surface of the side surface part of the first member, and the third member has on a side surface part a coming-off prevention piece that prevents coming-off of the engagement claw by being further fitted in the slit in which the engagement claw has been fitted and locked.

2. The structure for holding a display module according to claim 1 , wherein

the engagement claw is a plate-like part that is inserted into the slit.

3. The structure for holding a display module according to claim 1 , wherein

the engagement claw is a key-shaped claw part that is hooked on an outer opening edge of the locking hole.

4. The structure for holding a display module according to claim 1 , wherein

the second member has the engagement claw on an edge side part that is bent to an opposite side to the surface having the elastic holding piece, and is housed in the first member such that the edge side part overlaps with an inner surface of the first member with the fold of the edge side part matching the fold of the inner surface, when the engagement claw is fitted and locked in the locking holes.
