Abstract

A switch body is mounted on a sub-board, the sub-board is held, by fastening it with screws together with a protective plate that protects a surface of the sub-board on the opposite side of a mounting surface of the sub-board, in a holding wall formed integrally with a jack holder such that the mounting surface of the sub-board is disposed facing a mounting surface of a main board, and an operation portion of a push button is allowed to project to the outside of a casing from a square hole disposed in the jack holder.

Claims

1. A power switch attachment structure of a thin display device comprising:

a display module;

a main board that is disposed on the back of the display module such that a surface of the main board on the opposite side of a surface on which parts are mounted faces the display module;

a push type power switch that includes a switch body and a shaft disposed to the switch body such that it may freely advance from and retract into the shaft body;

a push button that is attached to the shaft and pushed when switching power ON and OFF; and

a plate member that is attached to one end edge of the main board and is disposed on a casing side surface portion,

wherein the power switch is held in a holding portion formed integrally with the plate member such that the power switch faces a mounting surface of the main board, and an operation portion of the push button is allowed to project to the outside of the casing from an open portion disposed in the plate member.

2. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 1, wherein the switch body is mounted on a sub-board and the sub-board is held in the holding portion such that a mounting surface of the sub-board is disposed facing the mounting surface of the main board.

3. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 2, wherein a protective plate that protects the surface of the sub-board on the opposite side of the mounting surface of the sub-board is disposed.

4. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 3, wherein the protective plate and the sub-board are held in the holding portion of the plate member by fastening them together with screws.

5. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 1, wherein the plate member is a jack holder that holds various kinds of jacks such as a video input terminal, an audio input terminal, and an antenna terminal.

6. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 2, wherein the plate member is a jack holder that holds various kinds of jacks such as a video input terminal, an audio input terminal, and an antenna terminal.

7. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 3, wherein the plate member is a jack holder that holds various kinds of jacks such as a video input terminal, an audio input terminal, and an antenna terminal.

8. The power switch attachment structure of a thin display device of claim 4, wherein the plate member is a jack holder that holds various kinds of jacks such as a video input terminal, an audio input terminal, and an antenna terminal.
