Abstract

A housing for a liquid crystal display module includes an upper housing, a lower housing and at least one shock absorber. The lower housing has one-stage inner sidewalls to define a top room and a bottom room for accommodating a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module respectively. The at least one shock absorber on a top surface of the one-stage inner sidewalls has an inclined elastic protrusion with a free end for elastically supporting the liquid crystal display panel when the lower housing is assembled with the upper housing.
