  • Publication number: 20060243948
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid crystal display used as a display unit of an electronic apparatus and provides a small liquid crystal display having a thin picture frame, the display having an excellent cooling function, high luminance, and high color reproducibility. The liquid crystal display includes a rear frame having an upstanding portion formed by bending an end of a longer side thereof and a heat sink which is in thermal contact with the rear frame. Thus, heat generated at LEDs can be efficiently radiated. The liquid crystal display also includes a liquid crystal display panel driving circuit which is divided into a data substrate and a control substrate. The liquid crystal display can be provided in a compact structure having a thin picture frame by disposing the data substrate on a side surface of the liquid crystal display and disposing the control substrate on the side of the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 6870582
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes first and second frame members, between which a light source device, a metal body supporting the light source device, a frame-like cover covering the peripheral region of the light source device, and a liquid crystal display element are held by the cover. The first frame member covers the peripheral region of the liquid crystal display element and has hooks for engagement with the recess in metal body. Therefore, the metal body, the light source device, the cover, the liquid crystal display element, and the first frame member are assembled and fastened together by the engagement of the hooks with the metal body. This assembly can be coupled to the second frame member. Straight metal members can be arranged between the first frame member and the driving ICs on the liquid crystal display element.
