Abstract

A waterproof panel frame structure comprises a front housing and a panel supporter. The front housing and the panel supporter are matched with each other to form conjunctive slants at right and left sides which slant inward and to form conjunctive slants at upper and down sides which slant downward. The front housing and the panel supporter comprise a groove and a ridge matched with each other and disposed at the conjunctive position between the front housing and the panel supporter for keeping water or liquid from infiltrating under atmosphere pressure.

Claims

1. A waterproof panel frame structure for a flat panel display, comprising:

a display panel;

a support frame disposed to surround the display panel so as to fix the display panel;

a front housing disposed on the outer of the waterproof panel frame structure;

a panel supporter sandwiched between the front housing and the support frame, securely fixed to the front housing, and snapped with the support frame, wherein the front housing and the panel supporter are matched with each other to form conjunctive slants at right and left sides of panel frame which slant inward and conjunctive slants at upper and down sides of panel frame which slant downward, and the front housing and the panel supporter comprise a groove and a ridge matched with each other and disposed at a conjunctive position between the front housing and the panel supporter; and

a protective cover closely attached to the display panel and securely fixed to the panel supporter.

2. The waterproof panel frame structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the groove and the ridge are disposed on the conjunctive slants, and closely matched with each other.

3. The waterproof panel frame structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the groove and the ridge are disposed on the conjunctive slants and planes behind the conjunctive slants.

4. The waterproof panel frame structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the groove and the ridge are in the shape of a closely-matched convex and a closely-matched concave.
