  • Patent number: 8797245
    Abstract: A projecting portion is formed on first and second side walls of the inner frame parallel to two sides of the non-overlapping region of the first substrate which intersect with one side of the non-overlapping region of the first substrate. The projecting portion of the inner frame has an opening portion. The lower frame has an opening portion through which the projecting portion of the inner frame penetrates. The projecting portion of the inner frame penetrates the opening portion of the lower frame and projects to a side of the lower frame opposite to the display panel. A protruding portion is formed on the casing correspondingly to the projecting portion of the inner frame. The inner frame is fixed to the casing by making an opening portion formed in the projecting portion of the inner frame engage with the protruding portion of the casing.

  • Patent number: 8031316
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to protect a flexible printed circuit of a liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display device of the invention includes: a flexible printed substrate that extends as far as a position where it opposes a metal frame; and a light-blocking tape that has a portion that is positioned between a semiconductor integrated circuit and a light source. The light-blocking tape includes: a light-blocking layer that has a first surface that faces a liquid crystal display panel and a second surface that faces a backlight module; a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a portion that is formed on the first surface of the light-blocking layer and pressure-sensitively adheres to the liquid crystal display panel; and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a portion that is formed on the second surface of the light-blocking layer and pressure-sensitively adheres to the backlight module.
