  • Patent number: 7206037
    Abstract: In a display module having a picture-frame-shaped front frame, notches are formed at both ends of one side edge thereof so as to penetrate from the front surface to the rear surface thereof. This helps realize a compact display unit. Moreover, a metal film or the like is formed on a flexible printed circuit used in the display module, and the flexible printed circuit is fixed to a metal rear casing with a detachable protective plate. This helps realize a display module that permits easy attachment and detachment of a flexible printed circuit and in which sufficient shielding against EMI (the metal film is grounded via the rear casing) is achieved.
