  • Patent number: 8333498
    Abstract: A back bezel assembly is provided. The back bezel assembly includes a frame and a metal shielding board. The frame is formed with at least one hollow portion. By forming at least one hollow portion, the frame is not formed with at least one first portion with the same material of the frame, wherein the at least one first portion has a first weight. The metal shielding board has a second weight, which is less than the first weight. The metal shielding board is fixed to the frame and covers at least one portion of the at least one hollow portion correspondingly. With the configuration of the back bezel assembly, the display adopting the back bezel assembly is lightweight and provided with the shielding effect of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
