Abstract

A method of mounting a liquid crystal display module thereof which secures an upper sash including the liquid crystal display module to a lower sash in a notebook personal computer. An arm coupled to one end of a fixed rod by a hinge is arranged to be positioned between a side wall of the upper sash and a side wall of the lower sash. A screw goes through from the side wall of the upper sash, via the arm, to the side wall of the liquid crystal display module.

Claims

1. A mounting apparatus for a display module, comprising:

an upper sash having a sidewall;

a protection rod within the upper sash and fixed to a side of the display module;

an arm between the sidewall and the protection rod;

a fastener extending through the sidewall and the arm and into the protection rod, thereby securing the arm between the display module and the sidewall; and

a fixed rod movably coupled to the arm.

2. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein a portion of the fixed rod is within the upper sash.

3. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein a portion of the fixed rod is outside the upper sash.

4. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, further including a hinge for movably coupling the fixed rod to the arm.

5. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixed rod is movably coupled to the arm within the upper sash.

6. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixed rod is movably coupled to the arm outside the upper sash.

7. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sidewall includes a recess through which the faster extends.

8. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display module includes a liquid crystal display module.

9. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the upper sash further includes:

a plate extending perpendicularly to the sidewall;

a rear wall extending from the plate and the sidewall;

a blade extending from the rear wall; and

a hole, extending from a middle portion of the rear wall to a portion of the blade, through which the fixed rod extends.

10. The mounting apparatus of claim 9, wherein the blade extends parallel to the plate.

11. The mounting apparatus of claim 9, wherein the blade slants toward a portion of the plate.

12. A mounting apparatus for a display module, comprising:

a lower sash having an sidewall;

a fixed rod secured to an inner surface of the sidewall;

an arm movably coupled to the fixed rod;

a protection rod fixed to a side surface of the display module; and

a fastener extending through the arm and into the protection rod, thereby securing the arm to the display module.

13. The mounting apparatus of claim 12, wherein the fixed rod is movably coupled to the arm within the lower sash.

14. The mounting apparatus of claim 12, wherein the fixed rod is movably coupled to the arm outside the lower sash.

15. The mounting apparatus of claim 12, further including a hinge for movably coupling the fixed rod to the arm.

16. The mounting apparatus of claim 12, further comprising an upper sash, within which the arm and protection rod are disposed, wherein the upper sash includes a sidewall.

17. The mounting apparatus of claim 12, wherein the display module includes a liquid crystal display module.

18. The mounting apparatus of claim 16, wherein the fastener further extends through the sidewall to secure the arm between the display module and the sidewall.

19. The mounting apparatus of claim 18, wherein the sidewall includes a recess through which the faster extends.
