Abstract

The present invention discloses a liquid crystal module having F-type frames and an assembly method thereof. An F-type frame assembly according to the present invention is assembled by a plurality of F-type frames. Each of the F-type frames has a cross-section of F shape, and has a first opening portion located in an upper half thereof and a second opening portion located in a lower half thereof. Besides, the first opening portions and the second opening portions of all of the F-type frames are correspondingly facing inward, so as to form a first receiving space and a second receiving space, respectively. In the present invention, by placing a liquid crystal panel in the first receiving space and placing a backlight module in the second receiving space, a liquid crystal module is assembled.

Claims
