Publication number: 20070165152Abstract: There is provided a liquid crystal display capable of decreasing the number of components and easily carrying out an assembly. When a liquid crystal body 13 is to be attached to an opening 12 of a housing 11, the liquid crystal body 13 is supported and attached to the housing 11 by means of a plate portion 16 provided in parallel with the opening 12 through a wall portion 15 on a back side 11a of the housing 11. In this case, a flexible board 14 drawn from an end face of the liquid crystal body 13 is pulled out of an insertion hole 17 provided on the wall portion 15. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a holding member in the attachment of the liquid crystal body to the housing as in the conventional art. Therefore, it is possible to decrease the number of components and to reduce an attachment man-hour of the holding member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicant: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Shouji Suzuki, Masami Tatehana, Kazunori Kouno, Tetsuya Kubo, Shinya Nakamura, Akinori Oohira, Eiji Nishimura, Yasunori Kondou, Toru Masamoto, Tsutomu Abe

Patent number: 6353465Abstract: Mobile electronic equipment has a frame portion 8 which is formed in such a manner that the midsection of a side thereof is located at the longest distance from the surface of the liquid crystal display. Since the arched configuration can suppress deformation of the enclosure in comparison with the linear configuration as seen in arched structure of bridges, even when external pressure is applied onto the liquid crystal cover panel 2 or the enclosure cover 3, the enclosure cover 3, especially the midsection of the frame portion on that side resists deformation, and even when the frame portion of the enclosure cover or the liquid crystal display cover panel 2 comes in contact with the liquid crystal display due to deformation, a load applied onto the liquid crystal display upon contact may be reduced and cracks in the liquid crystal display may be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2000Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumio Hashimoto, Tsutomu Abe, Masami Tatehana, Yoshiaki Kameyama
