  • Publication number: 20130286557
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of LCDs, and more particularly to a frame for an LCD device and an LCD device including the frame. The frame includes four edge frames; at least one pair of mutually parallel edge frames of the four edge frames are separately provided with a ripple structure. The ripple structure of the invention is similar to a telescopic ripple part of a drinking straw. The dimensions of one pair of edge frames provided with the ripple structure in the length direction can be adjusted. When the dimensions of two or more kinds of frames are different but similar, a same frame can be shared to achieve the effect of one object with multiple purposes, thereby reducing the number and development cost of special moulds, shortening the development cycle of the product, and avoiding the problem that a great deal of stagnant materials are inconveniently handled when developing single device. Thus, the aim of reducing cost is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20130286320
    Abstract: The invention provides a middle frame for an LCD module and an LCD device. The middle frame for an LCD module includes a plurality of segmented members constituting the middle frame, and further includes a corner member which is arranged on a corner of the middle frame. The corner member is provided with a light blocking wall which is used for blocking a gap in a connecting position between the corner member and the segmented member. In the invention, because the LCD module is divided into a plurality of segmented members, the middle frame can be obtained by only making the same section, and cutting the section to form the segmented members. Thus, the production cost of the middle frame can be saved, and the segmented members of different lengths can be matched to make middle frames of different sizes, thereby saving the cost of moulds.
