Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel on a mold, and a backlight placed in the mold. The backlight includes a light guide panel, an LED provided on a side surface of the liquid guide panel, and other components. A main flexible wiring substrate is attached to the liquid crystal display panel, and extends to a back surface of the mold. The LED is mounted on an LED flexible wiring substrate. At least one electronic component mounted on the main flexible wiring substrate is arranged on an end surface of the mold. Then, an insulating sheet is provided between the at least one electronic component and the LED to prevent short circuit between them, instead of using a partition wall for electrical insulation.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel mounted on a mold; and

a backlight placed in the mold,

wherein the backlight includes a light guide panel, an LED provided on a side surface of the light guide panel, and a reflective sheet provided on a back side of the light guide panel,

wherein a main flexible wiring substrate on which at least one electronic component is mounted is attached to the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the at least one electronic component is arranged along an end surface of the mold,

wherein the LED is mounted on an LED flexible wiring substrate, and

wherein an insulating sheet is provided between the at least one electronic component and the LED.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating sheet is bonded to the at least one electronic component and to the reflective sheet.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating sheet is bonded to the at least one electronic component and to the LED.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating sheet is a white adhesive sheet.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating sheet is formed of the same material as a double-sided adhesive sheet bonding the liquid crystal display panel and the mold together.

6. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel mounted on a mold; and

a backlight placed in the mold,

wherein the backlight includes a light guide panel, an LED provided on a side surface of the light guide panel, and a reflective sheet provided on a back side of the light guide panel,

wherein a main flexible wiring substrate on which at least one electronic component is mounted is attached to the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the at least one electronic component is arranged along an end surface of the mold,

wherein the main flexible wiring substrate is fixed to the mold,

wherein the LED is mounted on an LED flexible wiring substrate,

wherein the LED flexible wiring substrate is fixed to the light guide panel, and

wherein an insulating sheet is provided between the at least one electronic component and the LED.
