Abstract

Provided is a liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device includes a packaging tape assembling a liquid crystal display panel to a backlight unit. The packaging tape surrounds at least a portion of top and side surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel and a side surface of the backlight unit.

Claims

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a backlight unit disposed under the liquid crystal panel; and

a packaging tape assembling the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit,

wherein the packaging tape surrounds at least a portion of top and side surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel and a side surface of the backlight unit.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the packaging tape covers the entire top surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the packaging tape comprises:

a first optical adhesive adhering to the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit; and

an optical film on the first optical adhesive.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, further comprising a light shielding print part adhering to the packaging tape, the light shielding print part covering an edge of the top surface of the liquid crystal display panel.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 4, wherein the light shielding print part comprises:

a white print part on the optical film; and

a black print part on the white print part.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 4, wherein the light shielding print part extends from the edge of the top surface of the liquid crystal display panel to cover both side surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 3, further comprising a second optical adhesive disposed on the optical film.

8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the packaging tape extends from a side surface of the backlight unit to adhere to at least portion of a rear surface of the backlight unit.

9. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, further comprising a chassis configured to assemble the backlight unit and the liquid crystal display device.

10. The liquid crystal display device of claim 9, wherein the packaging tape adheres to an outer surface of the chassis.

11. The liquid crystal display device of claim 9, wherein the packaging tape is disposed between the chassis and the backlight unit, and between the chassis and the liquid crystal display panel.

12. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the backlight unit comprises:

a light source;

a light guide plate on which the light source is assembled;

a reflection sheet disposed on a back surface of the light guide plate; and

an optical sheet on the light guide plate.

13. The liquid crystal display device of claim 12, wherein the light source comprises a light emitting diode.
