  Incidentally, a general liquid crystal display device has a structure in which a liquid crystal panel is sandwiched between a front panel holding member and a back panel receiving member. Here, when there is a request for reduction in manufacturing cost or further reduction in thickness, for example, it is conceivable to eliminate the panel receiving member on the back side. However, if the panel receiving member is simply abolished, the light guide plate, the optical member, and the liquid crystal panel are directly stacked, so that the holding force required for the panel pressing member and the chassis that hold them in a stacked state is high. Become. In order to secure such a high holding force, the installation space for the fixing structure for fixing the panel pressing member and the chassis is required more than a certain amount, and since this fixing structure is disposed on the outer peripheral side portion of the liquid crystal display device, There was a problem that the part was wide.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to narrow the frame.

  The display device of the present invention is disposed so as to overlap a light source, a display panel that performs display using light of the light source, and a side opposite to the display surface side of the display panel, and an end surface of the display device A light guide plate disposed opposite to the light source and having an end portion disposed outside the end of the display panel, and sandwiching the display panel and the light guide plate from the display surface side and the opposite side A holding member configured to hold the light source between the pair of holding portions, and a fixing member mounting portion provided on one of the pair of holding portions. And at least the other holding portion of the pair of holding portions between the fixing member attaching portion and the fixing member attaching portion along the overlapping direction of the display panel and the light guide plate. By sandwiching A fixing member for fixing the pair of holding portions in an assembled state, and the outer portion of the light guide plate, and either the fixing member attaching portion or the fixing member is inserted, whereby the light guide plate is A positioning hole-like portion for positioning in a direction along the plate surface.

  In this way, the light emitted from the light source is incident on the end face of the light guide plate, propagates through the light guide plate, and then is guided to the display panel. Therefore, an image is displayed on the display panel using the light. The The fixing member mounting portion provided in one holding portion of the pair of holding portions is attached with the fixing member in a state where at least the other holding portion is sandwiched, thereby sandwiching the display panel and the light guide plate that overlap each other. A pair of holding parts to be held are fixed in the assembled state. Since this fixing member is attached along the direction in which the display panel and the light guide plate overlap, a sufficiently high holding force can be applied along the overlapping direction from the pair of holding portions to the display panel and the light guide plate. . Thereby, even if it is the structure which does not have the panel receiving member interposed between a light guide plate and a display panel like the past, it can hold a display panel and a light guide plate stably with sufficient holding power. it can.

  Furthermore, the light guide plate is positioned in the direction along the plate surface by either one of the fixing member attaching portion and the fixing member inserted into the positioning hole-like portion provided in the end side portion. That is, since either one of the fixing member mounting portion and the fixing member, which is a structure for fixing the pair of holding portions, also serves as a structure for positioning the light guide plate, the pair of holding portions are temporarily fixed. Separately from the structure for positioning the light guide plate, the structure can reduce the installation space and narrow the frame portion in the display device as compared with the case where the structure is arranged outside the end side portion of the light guide plate. can do.

The following configuration is preferable as an embodiment of the present invention.
(1) The one holding part is arranged on the display surface side with respect to the display panel, and the other holding part is arranged on the side opposite to the display surface side with respect to the light guide plate, The fixing member is attached to the fixing member attachment portion from the side opposite to the display surface side. In this way, the display panel, the light guide plate, and the other holding part arranged on the opposite side of the display surface side are assembled in this order to the one holding part arranged on the display surface side, and then the fixing member. Is attached to the fixing member attachment portion from the side opposite to the display surface side, and therefore, the assembly workability and productivity are excellent.

(2) The pair of holding portions are appearance members that constitute the appearance of the display device. If it does in this way, it will become difficult to visually recognize a fixing member from the display surface side on the external appearance, and, thereby, the external appearance in the said display apparatus can be made favorable.

(3) The one holding portion includes a panel pressing portion that presses the display panel from the display surface side, and a side wall portion that protrudes from the outer portion of the panel pressing portion toward the side opposite to the display surface side. And the fixing member attaching portion is provided in a form continuous to the side wall portion. If it does in this way, the mechanical strength of a fixing member attaching part and a side wall part can be raised. Thereby, since the positional accuracy of the fixing member attaching portion is increased, the positional accuracy of the light guide plate positioned by the fixing member attaching portion or the fixing member attached thereto is also increased.

Among these, the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16 are held in a state of being sandwiched between the front frame 13 and the back chassis 14 in a state where they are stacked on each other. The backlight device 12 includes an optical member 15, a light guide plate 16, an LED unit LU, and a chassis 14, and is configured by removing the liquid crystal panel 11 and the frame 13 from the liquid crystal display unit LDU. The LED unit LU that constitutes the backlight device 12 has a pair of light guide plates 16 that are paired in the frame 13 and the chassis 14 so as to sandwich the light guide plate 16 from both sides in the short side direction (Y-axis direction). Two sets are arranged side by side in the side direction (X-axis direction), and a total of four are installed. The LED unit LU includes an LED 17 that is a light source, an LED substrate (light source substrate) 18 on which the LED 17 is mounted, and a heat radiating member (heat spreader, light source mounting member) 19 to which the LED substrate 18 is attached. Hereinafter, each component will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the liquid crystal panel 11 has a horizontally long rectangular shape (rectangular shape, longitudinal shape) in a plan view, and a pair of glass substrates 11a and 11b having excellent translucency are provided with a predetermined gap. The liquid crystal is sealed between the two substrates 11a and 11b. The front side (front side) of the pair of substrates 11a and 11b is the CF substrate 11a, and the back side (back side) is the array substrate 11b. Among these, the array substrate 11b is provided with a switching element (for example, TFT) connected to the source wiring and the gate wiring orthogonal to each other, a pixel electrode connected to the switching element, an alignment film, and the like. . Specifically, a large number of TFTs and pixel electrodes are arranged side by side on the array substrate 11b, and a large number of TFTs and pixel electrodes are arranged around the TFTs and pixel electrodes so as to surround a gate wiring and a source wiring in a lattice shape. It is installed. The gate wiring and the source wiring are connected to the gate electrode and the source electrode of the TFT, respectively, and the pixel electrode is connected to the drain electrode of the TFT. The array substrate 11b is provided with capacitor wirings (auxiliary capacitor wirings, storage capacitor wirings, Cs wirings) that are parallel to the gate wirings and overlap the pixel electrodes in plan view. Are arranged alternately in the Y-axis direction. On the other hand, the CF substrate 11a is provided with a color filter in which colored portions such as R (red), G (green), and B (blue) are arranged in a predetermined arrangement, a counter electrode, and an alignment film. . A polarizing plate (not shown) is disposed outside each of the substrates 11a and 11b.

  Of the pair of substrates 11a and 11b constituting the liquid crystal panel 11, the array substrate 11b is formed to have a larger size in plan view than the CF substrate 11a, as shown in FIGS. The portions are arranged so as to protrude outward from the CF substrate 11a. Specifically, the array substrate 11b is formed to be slightly larger than the CF substrate 11a so that its outer peripheral end protrudes outside the outer peripheral end of the CF substrate 11a over the entire periphery. Of the pair of long side end portions constituting the outer peripheral end portion of the array substrate 11b, the long side end portion on the control substrate CTB side (the front side shown in FIG. 3 and the left side shown in FIG. 4) in the Y-axis direction A plurality of source side terminal portions led from the above-described source wiring are provided, and a source side flexible substrate (panel connection member, source driver) 26 is provided in each source side terminal portion as shown in FIG. It is connected. A plurality of source-side flexible substrates 26 are intermittently arranged in the X-axis direction, that is, the direction along the long-side end of the array substrate 11b, and from the long-side end of the array substrate 11b to the Y-axis direction. Projecting outward along. On the other hand, one of the pair of short side end portions constituting the outer peripheral end portion of the array substrate 11b (the back side shown in FIG. 3 and the left side shown in FIG. 5) has the gate wiring described above. In addition, a plurality of gate side terminal portions led from the capacitor wiring are provided, and a gate side flexible substrate (panel connection member, gate driver) 28 is connected to each gate side terminal portion. A plurality of gate-side flexible substrates 28 are intermittently arranged in the Y-axis direction, that is, the direction along the short-side end of the array substrate 11b, and from the short-side end of the array substrate 11b in the X-axis direction. Projecting outward along.

  As shown in FIG. 3, each flexible substrate 26 and 28 is mounted on a film-like base material made of a synthetic resin material (for example, polyimide resin) having insulating properties and flexibility, and the base material. And a driver DR having a plurality of wiring patterns (not shown) on the base material and the wiring patterns being mounted near the center of the base material. It is connected to the. The source-side flexible substrate 26 has an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) with one end thereof being connected to the source-side terminal portion of the array substrate 11b and the other end being connected to a terminal portion of a printed circuit board 27 described later. ). The printed circuit board 27 is connected to the control board CTB via a wiring member (not shown), and receives signals (scan signals to the gate wiring, data signals to the source wiring, and capacitance wiring) input from the control board CTB. , Etc.) can be transmitted to the source side flexible substrate 26. On the other hand, one end of the gate side flexible substrate 28 is crimped to the gate side terminal portion of the array substrate 11b via an anisotropic conductive film. The array substrate 11b is formed with a relay wiring (not shown) connecting the source side terminal portion and the gate side terminal portion, and the gate side terminal portion and the gate side flexible substrate 28 are connected via the relay wiring. A signal (scanning signal to the gate wiring, capacitance signal to the capacitor wiring, etc.) is transmitted from the source side flexible substrate 26 and the source side terminal portion. Thereby, the liquid crystal panel 11 displays an image on the display surface 11c based on a signal input from the control board CTB.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the liquid crystal panel 11 is placed on the front side (light emitting side) of the optical member 15 described below, and the back side surface (the outer surface of the back side polarizing plate). ) Is in close contact with the optical member 15 with almost no gap. This prevents dust and the like from entering between the liquid crystal panel 11 and the optical member 15. The display surface 11c of the liquid crystal panel 11 includes a display area on the center side of the screen where an image can be displayed, and a non-display area having a frame shape (frame shape) surrounding the display area on the outer peripheral edge side of the screen. Become. The terminal portions and the flexible substrates 26 and 28 described above are arranged in the non-display area.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the optical member 15 has a horizontally long rectangular shape in a plan view, like the liquid crystal panel 11, and its size (short side dimension and long side dimension) is slightly larger than the liquid crystal panel 11. It is said that it is small. The optical member 15 is placed on the front side (light emitting side, liquid crystal panel 11 side) of the light guide plate 16 to be described below, and is sandwiched between the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 described above. It is arranged. Each of the optical members 15 is formed in a sheet shape and three layers are laminated. Specifically, the optical member 15 includes a diffusion sheet 15a, a lens sheet (prism sheet) 15b, and a reflective polarizing sheet 15c in order from the back side (light guide plate 16 side). Note that the three sheets 15a, 15b, and 15c have substantially the same size in a plan view.

  Among these, the diffusion sheet 15a arranged on the backmost side (the side opposite to the light emitting side, the light guide plate 16 side) is made of a synthetic resin that is almost transparent (excellent in light transmission) and is in a sheet-like base material. It has a structure in which a large number of diffusion particles are dispersed and has a function of diffusing transmitted light. The lens sheet 15b disposed in the center in the stacking direction (Z-axis direction) is made of a substantially transparent synthetic resin sheet-like base material and a prism layer formed by stacking on the plate surface of the base material. Therefore, it is possible to give a condensing effect to the transmitted light. The reflective polarizing sheet 15c arranged on the most front side (light emitting side, liquid crystal panel 11 side) has, for example, a multilayer structure in which layers having different refractive indexes are alternately stacked, and the light from the light guide plate 16 is reflected. Of these, the p-wave is transmitted and the s-wave is reflected toward the light guide plate 16 side. The s wave returned to the light guide plate 16 side is reflected to the front side by a light guide reflection sheet 20 and the like which will be described later, so that it is separated into s wave and p wave, and then emitted light toward the reflective polarizing sheet 15c again. Therefore, it is excellent in light use efficiency (luminance).

  The light guide plate 16 is made of a synthetic resin material (for example, acrylic resin such as PMMA or polycarbonate) having a refractive index sufficiently higher than that of air and substantially transparent (excellent translucency). As shown in FIG. 3, the light guide plate 16 has a laterally long rectangular shape as viewed in a plane, as in the liquid crystal panel 11 and the optical member 15, and has a plate shape that is thicker than the optical member 15. The long side direction on the surface coincides with the X-axis direction, the short side direction coincides with the Y-axis direction, and the plate thickness direction orthogonal to the plate surface coincides with the Z-axis direction. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the light guide plate 16 has a size (short side dimension and long side dimension) viewed in a plane larger than that of the liquid crystal panel 11 and the optical member 15, and The end portion 16EP is arranged so as to protrude outward from the end portion of the liquid crystal panel 11. Specifically, the light guide plate 16 is formed to be slightly larger than the liquid crystal panel 11 so that the end side portion 16EP protrudes outward from the outer peripheral end portion of the array substrate 11b of the liquid crystal panel 11 over the entire circumference. The light guide plate 16 is laminated on the back side of the optical member 15 and is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the optical member 15 and the chassis 14. The light guide plate 16 is arranged in such a manner that it is sandwiched in the Y-axis direction by a pair of LED units LU arranged separately on both sides in the short side direction. Each light is introduced. The light guide plate 16 has a function of rising and emitting the light from the LED 17 introduced from both ends in the short side direction so as to be directed toward the optical member 15 (front side) while propagating inside. By the way, the reason why the light guide plate 16 is made larger than the liquid crystal panel 11 and the optical member 15 as described above (the reason for securing the end side portion 16EP) is that the distance for propagating light incident from the LED 17 is sufficient. The end side portion 16EP of the light guide plate 16 is more likely to cause unevenness in the outgoing light than the central side portion, and the end side portion 16EP is more likely to cause unevenness in the outgoing light. This is also because the display quality is not good when the light emitted from is used for image display.

  Of the light guide plate 16, the surface facing the front side (the surface facing the optical member 15) emits light from the inside toward the optical member 15 and the liquid crystal panel 11 as shown in FIG. 4. 16a. Of the outer peripheral end surfaces adjacent to the plate surface of the light guide plate 16, both long-side end surfaces (both end surfaces possessed by both end portions in the short side direction) having a long shape along the X-axis direction are respectively LED17 ( The LED board 18) and the LED board 18) are opposed to each other with a predetermined space therebetween, and these form a pair of light incident surfaces 16b on which light emitted from the LEDs 17 is incident. The light incident surface 16b is a surface parallel to the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction (the plate surface of the LED substrate 18), and is a surface substantially orthogonal to the light emitting surface 16a. Further, the alignment direction of the LED 17 and the light incident surface 16b coincides with the Y-axis direction and is parallel to the light emitting surface 16a. Since the light incident surface 16b is opposed to the LED 17, it can be said that it constitutes an "LED facing end surface (light source facing end surface)". On the other hand, among the outer peripheral end surfaces adjacent to the plate surface of the light guide plate 16, both end surfaces on the short side that are long along the Y-axis direction are LED non-facing end surfaces that do not face the LED 17, respectively. Light source non-opposing end face) 16d.

A light guide reflection sheet (reflecting member) 20 that can reflect light and rise to the front side is provided so as to cover almost the entire region. In other words, the light guide reflection sheet 20 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the chassis 14 and the light guide plate 16. The light guide reflection sheet 20 is made of a synthetic resin and has a white surface with excellent light reflectivity. As shown in FIG. 4, at least the short side dimension of the light guide reflection sheet 20 is larger than the short side dimension of the light guide plate 16, and both ends thereof are closer to the LED 17 than the light incident surface 16 b of the light guide plate 16. It is arranged to stick out. Light that travels obliquely from the LED 17 toward the chassis 14 side is efficiently reflected by the projecting portions (both ends on the long side) of the light guide reflection sheet 20 and directed toward the light incident surface 16 b of the light guide plate 16. It is possible to make it. Note that at least one of the light exit surface 16a of the light guide plate 16 and the plate surface 16c on the opposite side thereof is a reflecting portion (not shown) that reflects internal light or a scattering portion that scatters internal light (see FIG. (Not shown) is patterned so as to have a predetermined in-plane distribution, and thereby, the light emitted from the light emitting surface 16a is controlled to have a uniform distribution in the surface.

  Next, the configurations of the LED 17, the LED substrate 18, and the heat radiating member 19 constituting the LED unit LU will be sequentially described. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the LED 17 constituting the LED unit LU has a configuration in which an LED chip is sealed with a resin material on a substrate portion fixed to the LED substrate 18. The LED chip mounted on the substrate unit has one main emission wavelength, and specifically, one that emits blue light in a single color is used. On the other hand, the resin material that seals the LED chip is dispersed and blended with a phosphor that emits a predetermined color when excited by the blue light emitted from the LED chip, and generally emits white light as a whole. It is said. In addition, as the phosphor, for example, a yellow phosphor that emits yellow light, a green phosphor that emits green light, and a red phosphor that emits red light are used in appropriate combination, or any one of them is used. It can be used alone. The LED 17 is a so-called top surface light emitting type in which the surface opposite to the mounting surface with respect to the LED substrate 18 (the surface facing the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16) is the main light emitting surface 17a.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the LED substrate 18 constituting the LED unit LU is an elongated plate shape extending along the long side direction of the light guide plate 16 (X-axis direction, longitudinal direction of the light incident surface 16 b). The plate surface is accommodated in the frame 13 and the chassis 14 in a posture parallel to the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, that is, a posture parallel to the light incident surface 16 b of the light guide plate 16. The LED substrate 18 has a length dimension that is approximately half of the long side dimension of the light guide plate 16. The LED 17 having the above-described configuration is surface-mounted on the inner side of the LED substrate 18, that is, the plate surface facing the light guide plate 16 side (the surface facing the light guide plate 16), and this is the mounting surface 18 a. It is said. A plurality of LEDs 17 are arranged in a line (linearly) in parallel on the mounting surface 18a of the LED substrate 18 along the length direction (X-axis direction) with a predetermined interval. That is, it can be said that a plurality of LEDs 17 are intermittently arranged in parallel along the long side direction at both ends on the long side of the backlight device 12. The interval between the LEDs 17 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction, that is, the arrangement pitch of the LEDs 17 is substantially equal. Note that the arrangement direction of the LEDs 17 coincides with the length direction (X-axis direction) of the LED substrate 18. On the mounting surface 18a of the LED substrate 18, a wiring pattern (not shown) made of a metal film (such as a copper foil) that extends along the X-axis direction and connects the adjacent LEDs 17 across the LED 17 group in series. The terminal portions formed at both ends of the wiring pattern are connected to the power supply substrate PWB via wiring members such as connectors and electric wires, so that driving power is supplied to each LED 17. It has become. The LED substrates 18 that are paired with the light guide plate 16 in between are housed in the frame 13 and the chassis 14 with the mounting surfaces 18a of the LEDs 17 facing each other, and are thus mounted on the paired LED substrates 18 respectively. The main light emitting surfaces 17a of the LEDs 17 are opposed to each other, and the optical axes of the LEDs 17 substantially coincide with the Y-axis direction. Moreover, the base material of the LED board 18 is made of metal such as aluminum, for example, and the wiring pattern (not shown) described above is formed on the surface thereof via an insulating layer. In addition, as a material used for the base material of LED board 18, insulating materials, such as a ceramic, can also be used.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the heat radiating member 19 constituting the LED unit LU is made of a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum. The heat dissipating member 19 includes an LED attachment portion (light source attachment portion) 19a to which the LED substrate 18 is attached, and a heat dissipating portion 19b in surface contact with the plate surface of the chassis 14, and these have a bent shape having a substantially L-shaped cross section. There is no. The length of the heat dissipation member 19 is approximately the same as the length of the LED substrate 18 described above. The LED mounting portion 19a constituting the heat radiating member 19 has a plate shape parallel to the plate surface of the LED substrate 18 and the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16, and the long side direction is the X-axis direction and the short side direction.

The LED board 18 is attached to the inner plate surface of the LED mounting portion 19a, that is, the plate surface facing the light guide plate 16 side. The LED mounting portion 19 a has a long side dimension substantially equal to the long side dimension of the LED substrate 18, but the short side dimension is larger than the short side dimension of the LED substrate 18. In addition, both end portions in the short side direction of the LED mounting portion 19a protrude outward from the both end portions of the LED substrate 18 along the Z-axis direction. The outer plate surface of the LED mounting portion 19a, that is, the plate surface opposite to the plate surface on which the LED substrate 18 is mounted is opposed to a first screw mounting portion 21 included in the frame 13 described later. That is, the LED attachment portion 19 a is arranged in a form that is interposed between the first screw attachment portion 21 of the frame 13 and the light guide plate 16. The LED mounting portion 19a extends in the Z-axis direction (the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16) from the inner end of the heat radiating portion 19b described below, that is, the end on the LED 17 (light guide plate 16) side.

The long side dimension of the heat dissipating part 19b is substantially the same as that of the LED mounting part 19a. Of the heat radiating portion 19 b, the entire plate surface on the back side, that is, the plate surface facing the chassis 14 side, is in surface contact with the plate surface of the chassis 14. In addition, the front plate surface of the heat radiating portion 19b, that is, the plate surface opposite to the contact surface with respect to the chassis 14, is opposed to a first screw mounting portion 21 included in the frame 13 to be described later and the first screw. It is in contact with the protruding end surface of the mounting portion 21. That is, the heat dissipating part 19b is arranged in such a manner as to be sandwiched (intervened) between the first screw mounting part 21 of the frame 13 and the chassis 14. As a result, the heat generated from the LED 17 along with the lighting is transmitted to the frame 13 having the chassis 14 and the first screw mounting portion 21 via the LED substrate 18, the LED mounting portion 19a, and the heat radiating portion 19b. The liquid crystal display device 10 is efficiently dissipated to the outside, and it is difficult to stay inside.

Both the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are made of metal such as aluminum, for example, and mechanical strength (rigidity) and thermal conductivity are both higher than when the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are made of synthetic resin. That is, it can be said that both the materials constituting the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are light shielding materials having light shielding properties. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are stacked on each other while accommodating the LED units LU paired at both ends (both ends on both long sides) in the short side direction. The liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16 are held so as to be sandwiched between the front side and the back side.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the positioning hole 29 together with the fixing structure on the short side will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the second screw attachment portion 22 includes a side wall portion 13 b disposed on the outer end of each short side portion of the panel pressing portion 13 a of the frame 13 and an inner end in the X-axis direction. It is arranged at a position sandwiched (intervened) between the pressing protrusions 24 arranged on the surface. The second screw mounting portion 22 protrudes from the inner surface of each short-side portion of the panel pressing portion 13a toward the back side along the Z-axis direction, and has a substantially cylindrical shape with a substantially circular shape when viewed from above. I am doing. That is, the first screw mounting portion 21 described above has a substantially linear shape when viewed in a plane, whereas the second screw mounting portion 22 has a substantially dotted shape when viewed in a plane. The second screw attachment portion 22 is provided on each of the pair of short side divided frames 13SS constituting the frame 13. The second screw mounting portion 22 is formed with a screw tightening hole portion (fixing member tightening hole portion) 22a that opens toward the back side and can tighten the screw member SM. The screw tightening hole portion 22a is disposed at a concentric position in the second screw mounting portion 22, and the hole size is slightly smaller than the shaft portion of the second screw member SM2. The second screw attachment portion 22 is arranged in a form of being interposed between the panel pressing portion 13a of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 in the Z-axis direction.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the second screw mounting portion 22 is disposed at a position adjacent to the outside with respect to the end surface on the short side of the liquid crystal panel 11, and the direction along the end surface on the same end surface side (Y-axis). 4) along the direction) and are arranged intermittently side by side. Four second screw mounting portions 22 are arranged at the same short side in the short side portion of the panel pressing portion 13a, and are arranged symmetrically. Of the four second screw mounting portions 22 arranged along the Y-axis direction, the two second screw mounting portions 22 disposed at both ends are disposed in the vicinity of the corner portions of the frame 13 and the chassis 14. Of the pair of short side portions in the panel pressing portion 13a, the second screw mounting portion 22 provided on the short side portion overlapping the gate side flexible substrate 26 in a plan view is as shown in FIGS. The gate-side flexible substrate 28 is disposed adjacent to the Y-axis direction in such a manner that the liquid crystal panel 11 projects outward from the short-side end of the liquid crystal panel 11 along the X-axis direction. In other words, the second screw mounting portion 22 and the gate-side flexible substrate 28 are aligned along the Y-axis direction and have a positional relationship overlapping in the X-axis direction. The second screw mounting portions 22 and the gate-side flexible substrate 28 are alternately arranged in a plurality along the Y-axis direction, and between the two second screw mounting portions 22 adjacent in the Y-axis direction. The flexible substrate 28 is interposed.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, each of the second screw attachment portions 22 having the above-described configuration is arranged at a position overlapping the pair of short side end portions 16EP of the light guide plate 16 in a plan view. Has been. A positioning hole 29 that allows the second screw attachment portion 22 to be inserted is formed in each end 16EP on the short side of the light guide plate 16. The positioning hole-shaped portion 29 has a substantially circular shape when seen in a plan view and has a hole shape penetrating the light guide plate 16 along its thickness direction (Z-axis direction). The positioning hole-shaped portion 29 has a hole diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second screw mounting portion 22, thereby enabling smooth insertion of the second screw mounting portion 22 and heating the light guide plate 16. It is allowed to expand and contract with expansion or thermal contraction. Since this positioning hole-shaped part 29 penetrates the light guide plate 16 in the plate thickness direction, there is a possibility that light propagating through the light guide plate 16 from its inner peripheral surface leaks out. Since it is formed in the end portion 16EP on the short side having 16d and is not disposed opposite to the LED 17, light leakage is less likely to occur. The positioning hole-shaped portion 29 has an endless annular inner peripheral surface and is opposed to the second screw mounting portion 22 inserted over the entire circumference. That is, the positioning hole-shaped portion 29 is formed in the light guide plate 16 as a through hole that does not open outward in the direction along the plate surface of the light guide plate 16 (X-axis direction or Y-axis direction). Accordingly, when the second screw mounting portion 22 is inserted into the positioning hole-shaped portion 29, the opposing peripheral surfaces come into contact with each other, whereby the light guide plate 16 is positioned in all directions in the direction along the plate surface. It is like that. The positioning hole-like portions 29 are arranged intermittently side by side by four along the Y-axis direction in accordance with the arrangement of the second screw attachment portions 22 in the end portion 16EP on the short side of the light guide plate 16. In the same manner as each second screw mounting portion 22, the arrangement is symmetrical. Of the four positioning hole portions 29 arranged along the Y-axis direction, two positioning hole portions 29 disposed at both ends are disposed in the vicinity of the corners of the light guide plate 16. The light guide reflection sheet 20 interposed between the light guide plate 16 and the bottom plate portion 14a of the chassis 14 is formed with a communication hole 20a that communicates with each of the positioning hole-shaped portions 29 described above. Similarly to the portion 29, the second screw attachment portion 22 is inserted. That is, the light guide reflection sheet 20 is positioned by the second screw mounting portion 22 in the same manner as the light guide plate 16.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the positioning hole-like portion 29 having the above structure and the second screw attachment portion 22 inserted into the communication hole 20 a are planar with the LED unit LU (LED 17) in the bottom plate portion 14 a of the chassis 14. Is in contact with the second screw mounting portion 14a1, which is an end portion on the short side that is not superimposed. That is, the second screw mounting portion 14a1 is arranged so as to overlap the second screw mounting portion 22 of the frame 13 in a plan view. A second screw insertion hole 30 for passing the second screw member SM2 is formed in the second screw mounting portion 14a1. The second screw insertion holes 30 are intermittently arranged four by four along the Y-axis direction in accordance with the arrangement of the second screw attachment portions 22 and the positioning hole portions 29 in the second screw mounting portions 14a1. It is arranged with. The second screw insertion hole 30 communicates with the screw tightening hole 22 a of the second screw attachment portion 22. Therefore, the second screw member SM2 is inserted through the second screw along the Z-axis direction (the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16) from the back side of the chassis 14 (the side opposite to the display surface 11c side). The second screw mounting portion 22 is tightened into the screw tightening hole 22a with the second screw mounting portion 14a1 sandwiched between the hole 30 and the second screw mounting portion 14a1. When the second screw member SM2 is tightened, a screw groove is formed in the screw tightening hole 22a by a screw thread formed on the shaft portion of the second screw member SM2.

  The tightening direction (Z-axis direction) of the second screw member SM2 coincides with the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16, as shown in FIG. The frame 13 and the chassis 14 that sandwich the optical member 15 and the light guide plate 16 from the front and back can hold them with a sufficiently high holding force. Thereby, the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16 which overlap with each other can be held in close contact. The liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16, which are arranged in a stacked manner, are kept in close contact with each other without any gaps. Unevenness is less likely to occur in the planes 11, 15, and 16, thereby improving the display quality of the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 11. Since the fixing structure on the long side of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 is the same as the fixing structure on the short side described above, the tightening direction of the first screw member SM1 coincides with the Z-axis direction. 11. The optical member 15 and the light guide plate 16 are held by the frame 13 and the chassis 14 with a high holding force over the entire circumference, and are less likely to cause unevenness in brightness, so that the display quality is excellent.

  As described above, the second screw mounting portion 22, which is a fixed structure on the short side of the frame 13 and the chassis 14, is flat with the end portion 16 EP on the short side of the light guide plate 16 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. The light guide plate 16 can be positioned by being inserted into the positioning hole 29 formed there. That is, it can be said that the second screw mounting portion 22 serves both as a fixing structure for the frame 13 and the chassis 14 and a positioning structure for the light guide plate 16. Here, if the frame and chassis fixing structure and the light guide plate positioning structure are separately provided, the fixing structure is disposed at least outside the end side portion of the light guide plate. It is necessary to secure an arrangement space for the fixed structure outside the optical plate. In that respect, in this embodiment, since the fixing structure of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 and the positioning structure of the light guide plate 16 are combined, it is not necessary to secure an arrangement space for the fixing structure outside the light guide plate 16. As a result, the width of the frame portion on the outer peripheral side of the liquid crystal display device 10 can be narrowed, and thus the frame can be narrowed. Moreover, in order to securely fix the frame 13 and the chassis 14 as in the present embodiment, a fixing structure is used in which the screw members SM1 and SM2 are tightened along the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16. Other fixing structures (for example, screw members along the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction from the side with respect to the frame and the chassis) Since the arrangement space of the fixed structure tends to be larger than that of the tightened one), the arrangement of the fixed structure so as to overlap the light guide plate 16 in plan view as described above is more suitable for narrowing the frame. Yes.

  This embodiment has the structure as described above, and the operation thereof will be described subsequently. The liquid crystal display device 10 is manufactured by separately assembling each component (frame 13, chassis 14, liquid crystal panel 11, optical member 15, light guide plate 16, LED unit LU, etc.) manufactured separately. . At the time of assembly, all the components are assembled in a posture that is upside down with respect to the Z-axis direction from the posture shown in FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the frame 13 among the components is set on a work table (not shown) with the back surface facing upward in the vertical direction. The frame 13 is formed in a frame shape as a whole by connecting the four divided frames 13S to each other in advance.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the liquid crystal panel 11 has a source-side flexible board 26 and a printed board 27 connected in advance to one end portion on the long side, and a gate-side flexible board 28 connected to one end portion on the short side. It is used for assembly. The liquid crystal panel 11 is assembled to the frame 13 set in the above-described posture while the CF substrate 11a is in the vertical direction and the array substrate 11b is in the vertical direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the printed board 27 is placed on the first screw mounting portion 21 while its plate surface is in a posture along the surface of the first screw mounting portion 21 of the frame 13 facing the liquid crystal panel 11 side. It is attached. For this reason, the source-side flexible substrate 26 is bent into a substantially L shape in the middle. In this attachment process, each source-side flexible substrate 26 is inserted while being positioned in the X-axis direction with respect to each flexible substrate insertion groove portion 23a of the light guide plate support portion 23 that is in a positional relationship overlapping in plan view. Further, the liquid crystal panel 11 is buffered by receiving the front side surface of the liquid crystal panel 11 by a buffer material 24 a attached to the pressing protrusion 24 in the frame 13. Subsequently, the optical members 15 are sequentially stacked and arranged on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 11 in order.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, an LED unit LU in which the LED 17, the LED substrate 18 and the heat radiating member 19 are integrated in advance is assembled to the frame 13. In the LED unit LU, the LED 17 faces the center side (inner side) of the frame 13, and the heat dissipating part 19 b of the heat dissipating member 19 faces the first screw mounting part 21 of the frame 16. It is attached to the first screw attachment portion 21. In a state where each LED unit LU is attached to each first screw attachment portion 21, each insertion hole 19b1 of the heat dissipation portion 19b is communicated with the screw tightening groove portion 21a of the first screw attachment portion 21. . In addition, regarding the LED unit LU that is in a positional relationship overlapping with the source-side flexible substrate 26 in plan view, when the heat dissipating member 19 is attached to the first screw attachment portion 21, the LED attachment A board housing space BS is formed between the portion 19a and the first screw mounting section 21, and the printed board 27 is housed therein. After the LED unit LU is attached to the first screw attachment portion 21 in this way, the first screw member SM1 is subsequently passed through the predetermined insertion hole 19b1 in the heat radiating portion 19b from the back side, and the first screw attachment portion 21 is tightened. Screwed into the groove 21a. Since the heat radiating portion 19b of the heat radiating member 19 is sandwiched between the head of the first screw member SM1 and the first screw mounting portion 21, the LED unit LU is in a stage before the chassis 14 described below is assembled. The first screw mounting portion 21 is held in an attached state (see FIG. 7). The timing for assembling the LED unit LU to the frame 13 may be before the optical member 15 is assembled or before the liquid crystal panel 11 is assembled.

  When the operation of screwing the LED unit LU to the first screw mounting portion 21 is finished, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the light guide plate 16 is placed on the back side surface of the optical member 15 arranged on the back side. Laminate directly. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the positioning hole-like portions 29 formed in the end portions 16EP on both short sides of the light guide plate 16 are flat with respect to the second screw mounting portions 22 in the frame 13. The light guide plate 16 is placed on the optical member 15 along the Z-axis direction while matching the arrangement. If the positional relationship between each second screw attachment portion 22 and each positioning hole-like portion 29 is matched, each positioning hole-like portion 29 is inserted into each second screw attachment portion 22, and thereby the light guide plate 16. Is placed on the optical member 15. In this state, since the outer peripheral surface of each second screw mounting portion 22 is arranged so as to face the inner peripheral surface of each positioning hole-like portion 29 over the entire circumference, the light guide plate 16 has its plate surface. Even if it is going to be displaced in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction along the direction, the second screw mounting portion 22 abuts on the positioning hole-shaped portion 29, so that further displacement is restricted. Thereby, the light guide plate 16 is appropriately positioned in all directions in the direction along the plate surface. Further, both end portions 16EP on the long side of the light guide plate 16 are supported from the front side, that is, from the lower side in the vertical direction when assembled, by the light guide plate support portion 23 of the frame 13, as shown in FIG. When the assembly of the light guide plate 16 is completed, the light guide reflection sheet 20 is subsequently stacked and disposed directly on the plate surface 16c of the light guide plate 16 opposite to the light exit surface 16a. The light guide reflection sheet 20 is inserted into the respective communication holes 20a formed at the end portions on both short sides thereof, and the second screw mounting portions 22 are inserted, so that the light guide reflection sheet 20 is similar to the light guide plate 16 described above. Positioning is achieved.

  After the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, the light guide plate 16, and the LED unit LU are assembled to the frame 13 as described above, the operation of assembling the chassis 14 is subsequently performed. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the chassis 14 is assembled to the frame 13 in a state where the front side surface is oriented downward in the vertical direction. At this time, by inserting each of the housing side plate portions 14b2 outside the LED housing portions 14b of the chassis 14 into the gap between the side wall portions 13b on both long sides of the frame 13 and the first screw mounting portion 21. The chassis 14 is positioned with respect to the frame 13 in the Y-axis direction. In the assembly process, the heads of the first screw members SM1 previously attached to the heat dissipating member 19 and the first screw attaching portion 21 are passed through the respective heat dissipating member screw insertion holes 25B in the LED housing portions 14b of the chassis 14. (See FIG. 7). The bottom plate portion 14a of the chassis 14 is the light guide plate 16 (light guide reflection sheet 20), the second LED mounting portions 14a1 of the bottom plate portion 14a are the second screw mounting portions 22, and the first LEDs of the LED housing portions 14b. When the mounting portion 14b1 is brought into contact with the heat radiating portion 19b of each heat radiating member 19, the second screw member SM2 is inserted into each second screw insertion hole 30 of the second LED mounting portion 14a1 of the bottom plate portion 14a. The first screw members SM1 are passed from the back side through the screw fastening holes 25A for co-tightening of the first LED mounting portion 14b1 of 14b. The first screw member SM1 is clamped in the screw tightening groove 21a of the first screw mounting portion 21 to sandwich the first LED mounting portion 14b1 and the heat dissipation portion 19b of the heat dissipation member 19 with the first screw mounting portion 21. Hold in the state. On the other hand, the second screw member SM2 is held in a state in which the second LED mounting portion 14a1 is sandwiched between the second screw mounting portion 22 by being tightened in the screw tightening hole 22a of the second screw mounting portion 22. As a result, the LED unit LU and the chassis 14 are held between the screw attachment portions 21 and 22 of the frame 13 and the screw members SM1 and SM2 (see FIG. 6). Since each screw member SM1, SM2 attached in this way is arranged on the back side of the chassis 14 constituting the appearance of the back side of the liquid crystal display device 10, the front side, that is, the use using the liquid crystal display device 10 is used. It is difficult for the user to see directly, and the liquid crystal display device 10 has a clean appearance and high design.

  As described above, the assembly of the liquid crystal display unit LDU is completed. Thereafter, the stand mounting member STA and the various substrates PWB, MB, and CTB are assembled on the back side of the liquid crystal display unit LDU, and then the stand ST and the cover member CV are assembled, whereby the liquid crystal display device 10 and the television receiver TV. Is manufactured. The liquid crystal display device 10 manufactured in this way has a liquid crystal panel in addition to a frame 13 that holds the liquid crystal panel 11 from the display surface 11c side and a chassis 14 that constitutes the backlight device 12, respectively. 11 and the optical member 15 are directly laminated, so that the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are separated from each other by a synthetic resin cabinet or the liquid crystal panel 11 and the optical member 15 as in the prior art. Compared to those having a panel receiving member that keeps them in a non-contact manner, the number of parts and assembly man-hours are reduced, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and the thickness and weight are reduced.

  When the power supply of the liquid crystal display device 10 manufactured as described above is turned on, as shown in FIG. 4, the power supply from the power supply board PWB is received, and various signals are sent from the control board CTB to the printed board 27 and each flexible board. 26 and 28 (each driver DR) is supplied to the liquid crystal panel 11 and its driving is controlled, and each LED 17 constituting the backlight device 12 is driven. The light from each LED 17 is guided by the light guide plate 16 and then transmitted through the optical member 15 so that the light is converted to a uniform plane light and then irradiated to the liquid crystal panel 11. An image is displayed. The operation of the backlight device 12 will be described in detail. When each LED 17 is turned on, the light emitted from each LED 17 enters the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16 as shown in FIG. The light incident on the light incident surface 16b is totally reflected at the interface with the external air layer in the light guide plate 16 or is reflected by the light guide reflection sheet 20 and is propagated through the light guide plate 16. The optical member 15 is emitted from the light exit surface 16a by being reflected or scattered by a reflection unit or a scattering unit (not shown).

  Here, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to this embodiment, the liquid crystal panel 11 is directly laminated on the light guide plate 16 and the optical member 15, and the panel receiving member is interposed as in the related art. Absent. For this reason, there is a tendency that a higher holding force is required to be applied to the frame 13 and the chassis 14 that sandwich the light guide plate 16, the optical member 15, and the liquid crystal panel 11 that are directly stacked from each other. In that respect, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the screw members SM1 and SM2 that fix the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are in the Z-axis direction, that is, the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16. Therefore, the holding force is directly applied to each of the members 11, 15, and 16 from the overlapping direction. Accordingly, a sufficiently high holding force is applied from the frame 13 and the chassis 14 to the outer peripheral side portions of the light guide plate 16, the optical member 15, and the liquid crystal panel 11 that are directly stacked on each other, so that the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, The light guide plate 16 is maintained in an intimate contact state over the entire region in the plane. As a result, the amount of light supplied to the display surface 11c of the liquid crystal panel 11 is made uniform within the surface, and the display quality of the displayed image can be improved.

  As described above, the liquid crystal display device (display device) 10 of the present embodiment includes an LED (light source) 17, a liquid crystal panel (display panel) 11 that performs display using the light of the LED 17, and the liquid crystal panel 11. The end surface (light incident surface 16b) is disposed opposite to the LED 17 and the end portion 16EP is disposed outside the end portion of the liquid crystal panel 11. The light guide plate 16 and the frame 13 and the chassis 14 which are a pair of holding portions for holding the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 from the display surface 11c side and the opposite side are provided. A holding member HM that accommodates the LED 17 between the frame 13 and the chassis 14, and one holding part of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 that are a pair of holding parts A second screw attachment portion (fixing member attachment portion) 22 provided in the ram 13 is attached along the direction in which the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 overlap with the second screw attachment portion 22, and the second screw attachment. The frame 13 and the chassis 14 that are the pair of holding portions are fixed in the assembled state by sandwiching the chassis 14 that is the other holding portion of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 that are at least a pair of holding portions with the portion 22. The second screw member (fixing member) SM2 and the outer portion of the light guide plate 16 are provided, and one of the second screw attachment portion 22 and the second screw member SM2 is inserted, so that the light guide plate 16 is A positioning hole 29 for positioning in the direction along the plate surface.

  In this way, the light emitted from the LED 17 is incident on the end face of the light guide plate 16 and propagates through the light guide plate 16 before being guided to the liquid crystal panel 11. An image is displayed. The second screw mounting portion 22 provided on the frame 13 that is one holding portion of the frame 13 that is the pair of holding portions and the chassis 14 is in a state where at least the chassis 14 that is the other holding portion is sandwiched. By attaching the screw member SM2, the frame 13 and the chassis 14, which are a pair of holding portions that hold the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 that overlap each other, are fixed in the assembled state. Since the second screw member SM2 is attached along the direction in which the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 overlap each other, the overlapping direction from the frame 13 and the chassis 14 as a pair of holding portions to the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light guide plate 16 A sufficiently high holding force can be imparted along. Thereby, even if it is the structure which does not have the panel receiving member interposed between the light-guide plate 16 and the liquid crystal panel 11 like before, the liquid crystal panel 11 and the light-guide plate 16 are stably with sufficient holding power. Can be held.

  Furthermore, the light guide plate 16 extends along the plate surface by either one of the second screw attachment portion 22 and the second screw member SM2 inserted into the positioning hole portion 29 provided in the end side portion 16EP. Positioned with respect to direction. That is, one of the second screw mounting portion 22 and the second screw member SM2 that is a structure for fixing the frame 13 and the chassis 14 as a pair of holding portions also serves as a structure for positioning the light guide plate 16. Therefore, the structure for fixing the frame 13 and the chassis 14 that are a pair of holding portions is arranged outside the end portion 16EP of the light guide plate 16 separately from the structure for positioning the light guide plate 16. Compared to the case, the installation space can be reduced, and the frame portion of the liquid crystal display device 10 can be narrowed. According to this embodiment, a narrow frame can be achieved.

  The frame 13 as one holding part is on the display surface 11c side with respect to the liquid crystal panel 11, and the chassis 14 as the other holding part is on the side opposite to the display surface 11c side with respect to the light guide plate 16. The second screw member SM2 is attached to the second screw attachment portion 22 from the side opposite to the display surface 11c side. If it does in this way, with the other holding | maintenance part distribute | arranged with respect to the flame | frame 13 which is one holding | maintenance part distribute | arranged to the display surface 11c side on the opposite side to the liquid crystal panel 11, the light-guide plate 16, and the display surface 11c side. Since the assembly can be performed in the procedure of attaching the second screw member SM2 to the second screw attachment portion 22 from the side opposite to the display surface 11c side after assembling the chassis 14 in that order. Excellent in productivity and productivity.

  Further, the frame 13 and the chassis 14, which are a pair of holding portions, are external members that constitute the external appearance of the liquid crystal display device 10. If it does in this way, it will become difficult to visually recognize 2nd screw member SM2 from the display surface 11c side on the external appearance, Thereby, the external appearance in the said liquid crystal display device 10 can be made favorable.

  In addition, the light guide plate 16 has a light incident surface (light source facing end surface) 16b arranged to face the LED 17 and an LED non-facing end surface (light source non-facing end surface) 16d not facing the LED 17, The end portion 16EP on the short side of the light plate 16 has an LED non-facing end face 16d and is provided with a positioning hole portion 29. In this way, the light from the LED 17 is incident on the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16 and propagates through the light guide plate 16, but the positioning hole portion 29 has an LED non-facing end surface 16d. Since it is provided in the portion 16EP, it is difficult for light propagating through the light guide plate 16 to leak out from the positioning hole 29 on the way.

  In addition, a gate-side flexible substrate (panel connection member) 28 connected to the end of the liquid crystal panel 11 and protruding outward from the end is provided, and the second screw member SM2 and the second screw mounting portion 22 are provided. Are arranged along the end of the liquid crystal panel 11 with respect to the gate-side flexible substrate 28. In this way, the second screw member SM2 and the second screw mounting portion 22 are located at the end of the liquid crystal panel 11 with respect to the gate-side flexible substrate 28 arranged so as to protrude outward from the end of the liquid crystal panel 11. Since the second screw member and the second screw mounting portion are arranged side by side with respect to the gate side flexible substrate 28, the frame is further narrowed. Can do.

  In addition, the second screw member SM <b> 2 and the second screw attachment portion 22 and the gate side flexible substrate 28 are arranged in a line alternately along the end portion of the liquid crystal panel 11.
