  • Openable and closable electronic device with display
    Patent number: 9001508
    Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes: a first casing (101); a second casing (102) that is connected to the first casing (101), and that has a display (103); a projecting component (152) that projects from a top side surface (101a) of the first casing (101), and is positioned on the top side surface (101a) of the first casing (101) at such a position as to abut against the display (103) when the electronic device (100) is closed; and a movable support section (170) configured to support the projecting component (152) so as to allow the projecting component (152) to move relative to the first casing (101) such that an amount of projection of the projecting component (152) from the top side surface (101a) of the first casing (101) is reduced when the projecting component (152) is pushed by the display (103) in the case of the electronic device (100) being closed.

  • Liquid crystal display having frame to hold the panel and the back light unit using notch and tabs
    Patent number: 6292239
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display is characterized by uniting a liquid crystal panel and a back light unit by a frame into a liquid crystal panel unit and then installing the liquid crystal panel unit in a cabinet. The frame is divided into two portions of an inner wall by a supporting shelf that extends around the inner wall at a first predetermined distance measured from one side edge of the inner wall. In these two portions of the inner wall, a liquid crystal panel containing frame is formed for containing the liquid crystal panel, and a back light unit containing frame is formed for containing the back light unit. Thus, the liquid crystal panel unit is constructed by containing the liquid crystal panel and back light unit in those two containing frames.
