Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel having a display area, a light source joined with the liquid crystal panel, a first frame coupled to a surface of the light unit and sides of the liquid crystal panel, a second frame coupled to edges of the liquid crystal panel and sides of the first support frame, an outer casing, and a fastening part joining together the first support frame, the second support frame, and the outer casing through the sides of the first support frame, the second support frame, and the outer casing.

Claims

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first frame having a first side surface with a first plurality of holes;

a second frame having a second side surface with a second plurality of holes, the first frame being coupled to the second frame using the first and second side surfaces;

a liquid crystal panel between the first frame and the second frame;

an outer casing having a third side surface with a third hole; and

a fastening device fastening the second surface of the second frame to third side surface of the outer casing through at least one of the second plurality of holes and the third hole.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first plurality of holes is a screw hole.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the first frame and the second frame are coupled through at least one of the first plurality of holes and at least one of the second plurality of holes.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 3, wherein the first frame and the second frame are coupled through at least one of the first plurality of holes and at least one of the second plurality of holes by a screw.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the first frame, the second frame and the outer casing are fastened through at least one of the first plurality of holes, at least one of the second plurality of holes and the third hole.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 5, wherein the fastening device is a screw.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, further comprising a reflector unit, a light source, and a light guide unit each between the first frame and the second frame.

8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1, wherein the fastening device is a screw.

9. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first frame having a first side surface with a first plurality of holes;

a second frame having a second side surface with a second plurality of holes, the first frame being coupled to the second frame through at least one of the first plurality of holes and at least one of the second plurality of holes;

a liquid crystal panel between the first and the second frame; and

wherein the second frame is attachable to an outer casing through at least one of the second plurality of holes in the second surface.

10. The liquid crystal display device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the first plurality of holes is a screw hole.

11. The liquid crystal display device of claim 9, further comprising a reflector unit, a light source, and a light guide unit each between the first frame and the second frame.

12. The liquid crystal display device of claim 9, wherein a screw couples the first frame to the second frame.
