Liquid crystal display and method for fabricating same
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
- placing a first housing part with a rear surface up, the first housing part being formed with an opening;
placing a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel of a panel unit onto the rear surface with a display surface of the LCD panel down;
placing a light conductive plate onto the LCD panel;
mounting a lamp reflector to the light conductive plate; and
coupling a second housing part to the first housing part to retain components including the panel unit, light conductive plate and lamp reflector together, wherein said first housing part includes at least one retainer element, and wherein the second housing part includes at least one load applying element disposed to load the at least one retainer element into engagement with a surface of the components when the second housing part and the first housing part are coupled to each other.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display comprises a plurality of components including a panel unit that includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel with a display surface, a light conductive plate, and a lamp reflector. A first housing part or housing front has an opening exposing the display surface of the LCD panel. A second housing part or housing rear is complementary to the first housing part. The housing front has at least one horizontal retainer arranged to retain at least one of the components at a desired position within a hypothetical horizontal plane parallel to the display surface of the LCD panel, and a vertical retainer arranged to retain the components together. The housing rear has a load applying portion arranged to load the vertical retainer into firm engagement with the adjacent one of the components when the housing rear and the housing front are coupled to each other.
