Abstract

A liquid crystal display module is provided. The LCD module includes a liquid crystal display body, a base having a first frame, a cover having a second frame for covering the base, a plurality of mounting openings mounted on an outer wall of the second frame, a plurality of indentations positioned at a bottom surface of the second frame, a plurality of protrudent elements mounted on an outer wall of the first frame for being engaged with the plurality of mounting openings so as to secure the engagement between the first frame and the second frame, and a plurality of blocking elements mounted at a bottom surface of the first frame for preventing the bottom surface of the second frame from being pressed over the bottom surface of the first frame.

Claims (18)

1. A liquid crystal display module, comprising:

a liquid crystal display body;

a base having a first frame;

a cover having a second frame for covering said base through an engagement between said first frame and said second frame;

a plurality of mounting openings mounted on an outer wall of said second frame;

a plurality of indentations positioned at a bottom surface of said second frame;

a plurality of protrudent elements mounted on an outer wall of said first frame and having positions corresponding to those of said plurality of mounting openings for being engaged with said plurality of mounting openings so as to secure said engagement between said first frame and said second frame; and

a plurality of blocking elements mounted at a bottom surface of said first frame and having positions corresponding to those of said plurality of indentations for preventing said bottom surface of said second frame from being pressed over said bottom surface of said first frame, wherein said bottom surfaces of said plurality of protrudent elements have same horizontal positions as upper surfaces of said blocking elements.

2. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid crystal display body is mounted inside a space constructed by said base and cover.

3. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein upper surfaces of said plurality of protrudent elements are slant flats so as to help said plurality of protrudent elements to protrude through said plurality of mounting openings when said first frame is engaged with said second frame.

4. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein bottom surfaces of said plurality of protrudent elements are flat surfaces so as to prevent said first frame from being disengaged from said second frame.

5. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of mounting openings has sizes larger than those of said plurality of protrudent elements so as to help said engagement between said first frame and said second frame.

6. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of protrudent elements, said blocking elements, said plurality of mounting openings, and said plurality of indentations are mounted on an outer wall of said liquid crystal display module.

7. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said first frame, said plurality of protrudent elements, and said plurality of blocking elements are formed integrally.

8. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of protrudent elements and said plurality of blocking elements are positioned on said first frame alternately.

9. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of protrudent elements have horizontal positions higher than those of said blocking elements.

10. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid crystal display body comprises a backlight module, a liquid crystal assembly, a printed circuit board, and a display panel so as to perform a display function.

11. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid crystal display body is selected from one group consisting of a twisted nematic (TN), a super twisted nematic (STN), a double layer super twisted nematic (DSTN), and a thin film transistor (TFT).
