  • Patent number: 8836881
    Abstract: The present inventions enables reduction of outside dimensions of a small-size liquid crystal display device for a mobile phone and also elimination of an inclination of an image display area. A liquid crystal display panel 1 is mounted on a mold 6 made of resin. Because the mold 6 has not a wall surrounding the liquid crystal display panel 1, outside dimensions of the frame 7 can be made smaller. When the mold 6 with the liquid crystal display panel 1 mounted thereof is set in the frame 7, the mold 6 elastically deforms, and an inclination of a display area 31 of the liquid crystal display panel 1 is corrected by projections 62 formed on the mold 6.

  • Patent number: 8780291
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a liquid crystal display and a backframe for a liquid crystal display. The backframe is configured by interlinked linkages such that the backframe can be locked in a fully extended position in use, or be collapsible when not in use in a way that the overall dimension of the collapsible backframe is smaller than the fully extended backframe. The backframe can be switched from a fully extended position under normal use, or a collapsible position under a transportation or storage. The collapsible position occupies less volumetric weight as compared to the fully extended position so as to reduce the volumetric weight when the backframe is in transportation and storage. As a result, the performance of the transportation and storage can be therefore increased, while the cost is reduced.
