LCD panel connector for use in connection between an LCD panel and a circuit board
First Claim
1. An LCD panel connector for use in electrical connection between a circuit board (81) and an LCD panel (45) having a plurality of terminal electrodes (45d) at a peripheral portion thereof, which comprises:
- an insulator (11) having a first surface (11a) for mounting said peripheral portion of said LCD panel (45) thereon and a second surface (11b) to be faced to said circuit board;
a plurality of conductive contact elements (13) fixedly mounted in said insulator (11) to be brought into contact with said terminal electrodes (45d), respectively, when said LCD panel (45) is disposed on said first surface (11a); and
fixing means (71) for removably fixing said LCD panel (45) to said insulator (11) in the condition that said peripheral portion of said LCD panel (45) is disposed on said first surface (11a).

Abstract
An LCD panel (45) has a plurality of terminal electrodes (45d) formed at a peripheral portion thereof. The LCD panel (45) is brought into contact with conductive contact elements (13) and fixed by fixing means (71) to be electrically connected to a circuit board (81). An insulator (11) has a first surface (11a) for mounting the peripheral portion of the LCD panel (45), and a second surface (11b) to be faced to the circuit board (11b). The contact elements (13) are fixedly mounted in the insulator (11) to be brought into contact with the terminal electrodes (45d), respectively, when the LCD panel (45) is disposed on the first surface (11a) of the insulator (11). The fixing means (71) clamps and fixedly holds the insulator (11) and the LCD panel (45) when the LCD panel (45) is disposed on the first surface (11a). The insulator (11) is combined with a header (100) to be mounted on the circuit board (81).
