Abstract

A tray having limiting structures for positioning an open cell LCD panel is disclosed. The tray includes a main body of tray. The main body of tray has a recess for positioning the open cell LCD panel. The main body of tray further includes locking members. Each of the locking members is constituted by a fixed part connecting to the main body of tray and a snap-fit part flexibly connecting to the fixed part. The locking member is connected to the main body of tray through adhesive. The locking member can be mounted when it is used and removed when not used. The compatibility of the tray is expanded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tray having limiting structures for positioning an open cell liquid crystal display panel, the open cell liquid crystal panel being connected to a printed circuit board through a chip on film (COF), the tray comprising a main body of tray, the main body of tray having a recess for positioning the open cell liquid crystal display panel, the main body of tray further comprising locking members, each of the locking members being constituted by a fixed part connecting to the main body of tray and a snap-fit part flexibly connecting to the fixed part,
wherein one end of the fixed part is fixedly connected to an inner wall of the main body of tray through adhesive, and the snap-fit part comprises a connection portion and a snap portion that are integrally connected to each other and angled to each other, and
wherein at least two of the locking members are engaged in gaps between the printed circuit board and the open cell liquid crystal display panels disposed on a liquid crystal box,
wherein the fixed part comprises a fixed portion and a receiving portion, the fixed portion and the receiving portion are integrally formed and in a shape of a step, the snap-fit part is hinged to the step, and the snap-fit part rotates towards the receiving portion and finally adheres to a surface of the receiving portion.

2. The tray having limiting structures as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the snap-fit part is hinged to the fixed part.

3. The tray having limiting structures as claimed in claim 2 , wherein opposite ends of the snap-fit part and the fixed part are staggeredly hinged, a hinge hole is disposed in the plug portion, and a hinge axis is inserted into the hinge hole.

4. The tray having limiting structures as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an anti-static buffer sheet is disposed on an outer surface of the snap portion.

5. The tray having limiting structures as claimed in claim 1 , wherein anti-static buffer sheets are disposed on inner side walls of the main body of tray which is connected to the liquid crystal box.
