Liquid crystal display device having a digitizer
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a first frame;
a liquid crystal panel supported by said first frame, said liquid crystal panel having a display region and a side portion;
a digitizer on said liquid crystal panel, said digitizer having a peripheral portion and a plurality of digitizer electrodes;
a second frame having a side wall and a front surface with an opening, said front surface pressing against said peripheral portion of said digitizer, said opening formed at a location corresponding to said display region of said liquid crystal panel;
a printed circuit board having a drive circuit, said drive circuit driving said digitizer; and
a plurality of electric connections for connecting said drive circuit to said corresponding digitizer electrodes, said electric connections having the same length, wherein said second frame and said first frame are secured together so as to hold said liquid crystal panel and said digitizer.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device having a digitizer. A liquid crystal panel is supported by a lower frame having a side wall portion. A digitizer is located on the liquid crystal panel. An upper frame having a front surface with an opening region and a side wall portion is located over the digitizer such that the tipper frame pressurizes a peripheral portion of the digitizer. The opening region is formed at a location corresponding to the display region of the liquid crystal panel. The upper and lower frames mate to hold the liquid crystal panel and the digitizer in place. The upper frame is beneficially metallic to provide electrical shielding of conductors on the digitizer. Common electrical circuits are shared by the digitizer and the liquid crystal panel.
