Abstract

A liquid crystal display module and a frame applied in the liquid crystal display module. The liquid crystal display module includes a frame and a liquid crystal panel. The frame includes a sidewall and an elastic arm. The sidewall includes a first portion and a second portion. The elastic arm is located between the first portion and the second portion. The elastic arm includes a base portion and an abutment portion. The base portion connects the first portion and the second portion. The liquid crystal panel is disposed in the frame in a manner such that it abuts the abutment surface.

Claims (14)

1. A liquid crystal display module for holding a liquid crystal panel thereof, comprising:

a frame, comprising:

a sidewall comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein both the first portion and the second portion have an inner surface; and

an elastic arm, located between the first portion and the second portion, comprising a base portion and an abutment portion, wherein the base portion connects the first portion and the second portion, and a notch is formed between the abutment portion and the first and second portions respectively, and the abutment portion comprises an abutment surface and extends upward from the base portion toward the inside of the frame;

a liquid crystal panel disposed in the frame in a manner such that the liquid crystal panel abuts the abutment surface of the abutment portion of the elastic arm and the abutment surface of the abutment portion of the elastic arm is flush with the inner surface, wherein the abutment surface remains flush with the inner surface after the liquid crystal panel is disposed in the frame.

2. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm is substantially an inverted T-shape.

3. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm is substantially an I-shape.

4. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame further comprises a bottom and a support on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed.

5. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame further comprises a support on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed, and a cross section of the sidewall and the support is substantially T-shape.

6. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame further comprises a support on which the liquid crystal panel is disposed, and a cross section of the sidewall and the support is substantially L-shape.

7. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the sidewall is greater than the thickness of the abutment portion.

8. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the sidewall is greater than the thickness of the elastic arm.

9. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm and the sidewall are integrally formed into a single piece.

10. The liquid crystal display module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises plastic.
