  • Patent number: 8164705
    Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel, and a one-piece frame accommodating the liquid crystal panel. The frame includes a surrounding wall defining a notch in the surrounding wall, a supporting board extending inward from an inner surface of the surrounding wall, and a fixing member received in the notch. The surrounding wall and the supporting board cooperatively define a space for accommodating the liquid crystal panel. The fixing member is inclined toward the space in a free state, and is outwardly pressed by application of an external force in a direction away from the space to allow the liquid crystal panel to be placed in the space and on the supporting board, and elastically holds the liquid crystal panel in position against the supporting board after releasing of the external force.

  • Patent number: 7936414
    Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel, and a one-piece frame accommodating the liquid crystal panel. The frame includes a plurality of side walls arranged end to end, a supporting board extending inward from inner surfaces of the side walls, and at least two liquid crystal panel fixing members. The supporting board abuts the liquid crystal panel. The at least two liquid crystal panel fixing members press at least one respective lateral side of the liquid crystal panel such that the liquid crystal panel is pressed slightly toward the supporting board.
