Abstract

A method of mounting a liquid crystal display module thereof which secures an upper sash including the liquid crystal display module to a lower sash in a notebook personal computer. An arm coupled to one end of a fixed rod by a hinge is arranged to be positioned between a side wall of the upper sash and a side wall of the lower sash. A screw goes through from the side wall of the upper sash, via the arm, to the side wall of the liquid crystal display module.

Claims

1. A method of mounting a liquid crystal display module in a computer having an upper sash, a lower sash, and a fixed rod coupling the upper sash to the lower sash, the upper sash including the liquid crystal display module, a hinge coupled to the fixed rod, and an arm coupled to the hinge, the method comprising the steps of:

arranging the arm, coupled to one end of the fixed rod through the hinge in the upper sash, to be positioned between a side wall of the upper sash and a side wall of the liquid crystal display module; and

fastening together the side wall of the upper sash and the side wall of the liquid crystal display module through the arm.

2. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 1, wherein the fastening step uses a fastener penetrating the side wall of the upper sash and the arm and partially penetrating the liquid crystal display module.

3. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 2, wherein the fastening step uses a screw as the fastener.

4. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 1, further comprising the step of positioning the hinge at an inner side of the upper sash.

5. A method of mounting a liquid crystal display module in a computer having an upper sash, a lower sash, and a fixed rod coupling the upper sash to the lower sash including a hinge coupled to the fixed rod, the upper sash including the liquid crystal display module, and an arm to the hinge, the method comprising the steps of:

arranging an arm, coupled to one end of the fixed rod through the hinge in the lower sash, to be positioned between a side wall of the upper sash and a side wall of the liquid crystal display module; and

fastening together the side wall of the upper sash and the side wall of the liquid crystal display module through the arm.

6. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 5, wherein the fastening step uses a fastener penetrating the side wall of the upper sash and the arm and partially penetrating the liquid crystal display module.

7. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 6, wherein the fastening step uses a screw as the fastener.

8. The method of mounting a liquid crystal display module according to claim 5, further comprising the step of positioning the hinge at an inner side of the lower sash adjacent the fixed rod.
