Abstract

A modulized front frame structure and a liquid crystal display device using the same are provided. The modulized front frame structure is a linear elongated metal sheet member comprising: a pressing part being pressed against on a top end of a lateral side of a liquid crystal panel, and a fixing part being bent extending from the pressing part and being pressed against on an outer surface of a rear cover, wherein the pressing part and the fixing part are integrally formed, the rear cover is used for disposing the liquid crystal panel, and the fixing part comprising at least an installation hole and the installation hole is used for fixing the fixing part on the rear cover by a fastener passing through, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost, the material cost, and the transportation cost.

Claims

1. A modulized front frame structure, being a linear elongated metal sheet member comprising:

a pressing part being pressed against on a top end of a lateral side of a liquid crystal panel; and

a fixing part being bent and extending from the pressing part and being pressed against on an outer surface of a rear cover,

wherein the pressing part and the fixing part are integrally formed, the rear cover is used for disposing the liquid crystal panel, and the fixing part comprising at least an installation hole, and the installation hole is used for fixing the fixing part on the rear cover by a fastener passing through.

2. The modulized front frame structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixing part is formed by vertically extending downward from an outer edge of the pressing part, and being pressed against on the outer surface of the rear cover, such that the fixing part is fixed on the rear cover from a lateral side by a fastener passing through the installation hole.

3. The modulized front frame structure as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a connecting part is disposed between the pressing part and the fixing part, and the connecting part is bent extending from an outer edge of the pressing part and pressed against on the outer surface of the rear cover; and

the fixing part is formed by extending inward from a bottom edge of the connecting part, and pressed against on the bottom portion of the rear cover, such that the fixing part is fixed to an outer surface of the rear cover from a bottom surface by a fastener passing through the installation hole.

4. The modulized front frame structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein a length of the fixing part which is a distance extending toward a center direction of the liquid crystal panel is lager than a length of the pressing part which is a distance extending toward the center direction of the liquid crystal panel.

5. The modulized front frame structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein a number of the installation hole in the fixing part is two.

6. A liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel and a rear cover for disposing the liquid crystal panel, further comprising:

a plurality of modulized front frame structures cooperated with the rear cover for disposing the liquid crystal panel, and each modulized front frame structure is a linear elongated metal sheet member, comprising;

a pressing part being pressed against on a top end of a lateral side of the liquid crystal panel; and

a fixing part being bent extending from the pressing part and being pressed against on an outer surface of the rear cover, and the fixing part comprising at least an installation hole and the installation hole is used for fixing the fixing part on the rear cover from a lateral side by a fastener passing through.

7. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the fixing part of each modulized front frame structure is formed by vertically extending downward from an outer edge of the pressing part, and pressed against on the outer surface of the rear cover, such that the fixing part is fixed on the rear cover from a lateral side by a fastener passing through the installation hole.

8. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 6, wherein each modulized front frame structure further comprising:

a connecting part is formed between the pressing part and the fixing part, and the connecting part is bent extending from an outer edge of the pressing part and pressed against on the outer surface of the rear cover; and

the fixing part is formed by extending inward from a bottom edge of the connecting part, and pressed against on the bottom portion of the rear cover, such that the fixing part is fixed to the rear cover from a bottom surface by a fastener passing through the installation hole.

9. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 8, wherein a length of the fixing part which is a distance extending toward a center direction of the liquid crystal panel is lager than a length of the pressing part which is a distance extending toward the center direction of the liquid crystal panel.

10. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 6, wherein a number of the installation hole in the fixing part of each modulized front frame structure is two.
