Abstract

A liquid crystal display device with connector, wherein the front frame includes a front plate and a front plate side frame which defines with a front plate opening and has a first hole; the back plate includes a bottom plate and a bottom plate side frame which defines with a back plate opening, has an area smaller than that of the front plate opening, disposes with a second hole, moreover, a third hole is disposed on the bottom plate at a position corresponding to the second hole; the connector includes a first sheet body and a second sheet body which is provided with a first snap and a second snap, respectively; wherein, during the assemble process of the front frame and the back plate, the first snap engages with the first hole and the second hole, while the second snap engages with the third hole.

Claims

1. A liquid crystal display device with connector comprising:

a front frame including a front plate and a front plate side frame disposed on the front plate, wherein a front plate opening is defined at the front plate side frame, and a first hole is disposed on the front plate side frame;

a back plate including a bottom plate and a bottom plate side frame disposed on the bottom plate, wherein a back plate opening is defined at the bottom plate side frame, the back plate opening has an area smaller than that of the front plate opening, a second hole is disposed on the bottom plate side frame, and a third hole is disposed on the bottom plate at a position corresponding to the second hole; and

a connector including a first sheet body and a second sheet body forming an included angle with the first sheet body, wherein the first sheet body is provided with a first snap, the second sheet body is provided with a second snap, the opening of the first snap is positioned at the same side with the opening of the second snap;

wherein, during the assemble process of the front frame and the back plate, the front plate opening covers the back plate opening, the first hole aligns with the second hole, the connector attached to the front frame and the back plate through the corners of the bottom plate and the front plate side frame, and the first snap of the connector engages with the first hole and the second hole, while the second snap engages with the third hole.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the connector is made of flexible plastic material.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the connector is made of metal material with high elasticity coefficient.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the first snap is disposed at an end part of the first sheet body.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the second snap is disposed at an end part of the second sheet body.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 4, wherein the first snap includes chamfer at the front section thereof.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 5, wherein the second snap includes chamfer at the front section thereof.

8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the first sheet body is disposed of an extending part protruding from the first snap at an end part and/or two lateral parts thereof.

9. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the second sheet body is disposed of an extending part protruding from the second snap at an end part and/or two lateral parts thereof.

10. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the first sheet body and the second sheet body form an included angle of 90 degrees.
