Patent number: 8842233Abstract: A liquid crystal module includes a rear frame, a light guide plate, and a light source unit. The light guide plate is disposed in an interior of the rear frame. The light guide plate has a plurality of protruding components on a first end face of the light guide plate. The protruding components are spaced apart from each other and having distal end faces. The light source unit is disposed along the first end face of the light guide plate. The light source unit has a wiring board and a plurality of light source elements that is disposed on the wiring board. The distal end faces of the protruding components abuts the wiring board of the light source unit, respectively, such that the first end face of the light guide plate and each of the light source elements defines a spacing therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hisaharu Oura

Patent number: 8797252Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus according to the invention is an in-plane switching liquid crystal display apparatus having gate wirings and source wirings, which intersect one another, and also having pixel electrodes each connected to an associated one of the source wirings, and common electrodes disposed opposite to the pixel electrodes. A scanning signal is inputted to the gate wiring so that one horizontal period has a writing period, in which a pixel potential is written to the pixel electrode, and a nonwriting period, in which no pixel potential is written to the pixel electrode. The pixel potential is outputted to the source wiring in the writing period, while a common potential is inputted to the source wiring in the nonwriting period.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Shingo Nagano, Yuichi Masutani, Hisaharu Oura
