Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A liquid crystal display with an integrated mounting portion for receiving a printed circuit board is presented. A liquid crystal panel has a first surface on which an image is displayed and a second surface opposite the first surface, a printed circuit board is connected to the liquid crystal panel and has a front surface and a rear surface, and an intermediate receiving container includes a frame and a printed circuit board mounting portion positioned on a sidewall of the frame. The printed circuit board is mounted on the printed circuit board mounting portion such that the front plane of the printed circuit board and the first plane of the liquid crystal panel face the same side.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal panel including a first surface on which an image is displayed and a second surface opposite the first surface; a printed circuit board including a front surface and a rear surface; and a flexible circuit board connecting the rear surface of the printed circuit board and the first surface of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the front surface of the printed circuit board and the first surface of the liquid crystal panel face a first direction and the rear surface of the printed circuit board and the second surface of the liquid crystal panel face a second direction different from the first direction, and wherein the printed circuit board does not overlap the liquid crystal panel. 2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction. 3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the flexible circuit board comprises a first end disposed on the first surface of the liquid crystal panel and a second end disposed on the rear surface of the printed circuit board.
