Abstract

There is provided a liquid crystal display capable of decreasing the number of components and easily carrying out an assembly.

When a liquid crystal body 13 is to be attached to an opening 12 of a housing 11, the liquid crystal body 13 is supported and attached to the housing 11 by means of a plate portion 16 provided in parallel with the opening 12 through a wall portion 15 on a back side 11a of the housing 11. In this case, a flexible board 14 drawn from an end face of the liquid crystal body 13 is pulled out of an insertion hole 17 provided on the wall portion 15. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a holding member in the attachment of the liquid crystal body to the housing as in the conventional art. Therefore, it is possible to decrease the number of components and to reduce an attachment man-hour of the holding member.

Claims

1. A liquid crystal display, having a housing, an almost plate-shaped liquid crystal body disposed on a back side of the housing so as to be exposed from an opening provided on the housing, and a flexible board to be pulled out of an end face of the liquid crystal body, comprising:

a plate portion provided in parallel with the opening through a wall portion on the back side of the housing and capable of mounting the liquid crystal body thereon,

wherein the wall portion is provided with an insertion hole capable of inserting the flexible board therethrough.

2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1, further comprising a support column for transversely partitioning the insertion hole.

3. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1, wherein a rib is provided along the insertion hole on a side end of the insertion hole of the plate portion.

4. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1, wherein a positioning boss corresponding to a positioning hole disposed on the flexible board is provided on a back face of the plate portion.

5. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1, wherein a sub opening is formed in a region corresponding to an inside of the wall portion on an opposite side surface to a side surface to which the liquid crystal body of the plate portion is to be attached with a sub wall portion taking a shape of a whole rectangular frame provided integrally, and a sub liquid crystal is provided in the sub opening.

6. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1, wherein a liquid crystal holder for attaching the liquid crystal body to the opening is provided with an engagement click for engaging the printed board to penetrate the plate portion.

7. A liquid crystal display having a housing, an almost plate-shaped liquid crystal body disposed on a back side of the housing so as to be exposed from an opening provided on the housing, and a flexible board to be pulled out of an end face of the liquid crystal body, comprising:

a plate portion provided in parallel with the opening through a wall portion on the back side of the housing and capable of mounting the liquid crystal body thereon,

wherein the plate portion is provided with an opening for a connector disposed in the flexible board in which the connector is fitted when the flexible board is folded back to mount the liquid crystal body on the plate portion.

8. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a housing for mounting an almost plate-shaped liquid crystal body thereon;

a protecting cover having a transparent panel attached to an opening provided corresponding to a display surface of the liquid crystal body; and

a projection for positioning and interposing an outer peripheral surface side including a corner of the liquid crystal body in the housing,

wherein a slit is formed to penetrate the housing in a portion including a region corresponding to at least the corner of the liquid crystal body in the vicinity of the projection of the housing.

9. The liquid crystal display according to claim 8, wherein the slit is formed in a direction of an outer peripheral surface of the liquid crystal body.
