表示パネル6は、液晶表示パネルや有機EL(Electro−Luminescence)パネルなどの表示パネルであり、板金フレーム5および板金ホルダ7に収容されて開口部2aから表示面が臨むよう配置される。すなわち、表示パネル6は、その背面側が板金ホルダ7に保持される。回路基板8は、板金ホルダ7における表示パネル6とは反対側に設置されている。   The display panel 6 is a display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) panel, and is placed in the sheet metal frame 5 and the sheet metal holder 7 so that the display surface faces the opening 2a. That is, the back side of the display panel 6 is held by the sheet metal holder 7. The circuit board 8 is installed on the opposite side of the sheet metal holder 7 from the display panel 6.

FPCホルダ9は、FPC4を保持する樹脂製のホルダであって、板金ホルダ7と回路基板8に跨がって設置される。FPC4は、一端がタッチパネル3の周縁部に接続され、板金フレーム5および板金ホルダ7の外側に引き出され、他端がFPCホルダ9に保持されて回路基板8に電気的に接続される。
フロントシャーシ10は、表示パネル6の背面側に接地されて組み付けられる板金製のシャーシである。
The FPC holder 9 is a resin holder that holds the FPC 4, and is installed across the sheet metal holder 7 and the circuit board 8. One end of the FPC 4 is connected to the peripheral edge of the touch panel 3, pulled out to the outside of the sheet metal frame 5 and the sheet metal holder 7, and the other end is held by the FPC holder 9 and electrically connected to the circuit board 8.
The front chassis 10 is a sheet metal chassis that is grounded and assembled to the back side of the display panel 6.

図3は、従来のフロントシャーシを示す斜視図である。また、図4は、図1のA−A線で切った従来の表示装置におけるフロントパネルとタッチパネルとの境界部の周辺の断面矢示図である。図3に示すように、従来のフロントシャーシ10Aは、略平板状の板金製のシャーシである。意匠パネル2からフロントシャーシ10Aまでの構造体は、フロントシャーシ10Aを介して電子機器1の本体部(不図示)に取り付けられる。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a conventional front chassis. 4 is a cross-sectional arrow view of the periphery of the boundary between the front panel and the touch panel in the conventional display device cut along line AA in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional front chassis 10A is a substantially flat sheet metal chassis. The structure from the design panel 2 to the front chassis 10A is attached to the main body (not shown) of the electronic device 1 via the front chassis 10A.

タッチパネル3の周縁部に一端が接続するFPC4は、図4(a)に示すように、板金フレーム5および板金ホルダ7の外側に引き出され、他端がFPCホルダ9に保持されて回路基板8に電気的に接続される。また、タッチパネル3は、図4(a)に示すように、意匠パネル2の外側から開口部2aに嵌合されて組み付けられる。   As shown in FIG. 4A, the FPC 4 whose one end is connected to the peripheral edge of the touch panel 3 is pulled out to the outside of the sheet metal frame 5 and the sheet metal holder 7, and the other end is held by the FPC holder 9 to the circuit board 8. Electrically connected. Moreover, the touch panel 3 is assembled | attached by fitting to the opening part 2a from the outer side of the design panel 2, as shown to Fig.4 (a).

上述した従来の表示装置では、タッチパネル3のタッチ面上で静電気が発生した場合、図4(b)の矢印aで示すように、この静電気は、タッチパネル3の周縁部と開口部2aの内壁との境界部からタッチパネル3の背面およびFPC4を伝って回路基板8まで回り込んでしまう可能性がある。この場合、静電気によって回路基板8に実装された電子部品やFPC4に実装されたICなどが破壊される。   In the conventional display device described above, when static electricity is generated on the touch surface of the touch panel 3, as shown by an arrow a in FIG. 4B, the static electricity is generated between the peripheral edge of the touch panel 3 and the inner wall of the opening 2a. There is a possibility that the circuit board 8 may go around from the boundary portion of the touch panel 3 along the back surface of the touch panel 3 and the FPC 4. In this case, the electronic component mounted on the circuit board 8 or the IC mounted on the FPC 4 is destroyed by static electricity.

そこで、この発明では、フロントシャーシの形状を改良することにより、タッチパネル3のタッチ面上で発生した静電気がFPC4を伝って回り込むことを防止している。
図5は、この発明の実施の形態1に係る表示装置のフロントシャーシを示す斜視図である。また、図6は、図1のA−A線で切った実施の形態1に係る表示装置におけるフロントパネルとタッチパネルとの境界部の周辺の断面矢示図である。この発明に係る表示装置のフロントシャーシ10には、図5に示すように、組み付け時にタッチパネル3の背面側に向けて突出する突出部10aが形成されている。
Therefore, in the present invention, by improving the shape of the front chassis, static electricity generated on the touch surface of the touch panel 3 is prevented from flowing around the FPC 4.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the front chassis of the display device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional arrow view of the periphery of the boundary between the front panel and the touch panel in the display device according to Embodiment 1 cut along line AA in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the front chassis 10 of the display device according to the present invention is formed with a protruding portion 10 a that protrudes toward the back side of the touch panel 3 when assembled.

突出部10aは、タッチパネル3の背面側に向けてフロントシャーシ10から延設され、図6(a)に示すように、FPC4よりもタッチパネル3の周縁部と意匠パネル2の開口部との境界部に近い位置まで突出している。なお、フロントシャーシ10は、接地されているため、この突出部10aも接地電位となっている。
タッチパネル3のタッチ面上で発生した静電気は、図6(b)の矢印bで示すように、タッチパネル3の背面を伝わるが、突出部10aがFPC4よりも境界部に近い位置まで突出しているため、FPC4に伝わる前に突出部10aで接地される。
これにより、静電気が、FPC4を介して内部の電子部品(例えば、FPC4に実装されたIC)に伝わることを防止できる。
The protrusion 10a extends from the front chassis 10 toward the back side of the touch panel 3, and as shown in FIG. 6A, the boundary between the peripheral edge of the touch panel 3 and the opening of the design panel 2 rather than the FPC 4. Projects to a position close to. Since the front chassis 10 is grounded, the protruding portion 10a is also at ground potential.
Static electricity generated on the touch surface of the touch panel 3 travels through the back surface of the touch panel 3 as indicated by an arrow b in FIG. 6B, but the protruding portion 10a protrudes to a position closer to the boundary than the FPC 4. , Before being transmitted to the FPC 4, it is grounded by the protrusion 10a.
Thereby, static electricity can be prevented from being transmitted to internal electronic components (for example, an IC mounted on the FPC 4) via the FPC 4.

なお、図5に示すように、突出部10aを、FPC4よりも幅広の板状部としてもよい。例えば、フロントシャーシ10から延出したFPC4よりも幅広の板状部を、タッチパネル3の背面側に向けて折り曲げて突出部10aを形成する。このように構成することで、FPC4の幅方向から静電気が伝わることを防止でき、静電気がFPC4を介して内部の電子部品に伝わることを防止できる。   As shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portion 10 a may be a plate-like portion that is wider than the FPC 4. For example, the protruding portion 10 a is formed by bending a plate-like portion wider than the FPC 4 extending from the front chassis 10 toward the back side of the touch panel 3. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being transmitted from the width direction of the FPC 4, and it is possible to prevent static electricity from being transmitted to the internal electronic components via the FPC 4.

以上のように、この実施の形態1によれば、開口部2aを有する意匠パネル2と、開口部2aから表示面が臨む表示パネル6と、表示パネル6の表示面上に配置されて、周縁部にFPC4が接続されたタッチパネル3と、表示パネル6の背面側に接地されて組み付けられるフロントシャーシ10と、タッチパネル3の背面側に向けてフロントシャーシ7から延設され、FPC4よりもタッチパネル3の周縁部と意匠パネル2の開口部2aとの境界部に近い位置まで突出した突出部10aとを備える。このように構成することで、タッチ面で発生した静電気が突出部10aで接地され、静電気がFPC4を介して内部の電子部品(例えば、FPC4に実装されたIC)に伝わることを防止できる。   As described above, according to the first embodiment, the design panel 2 having the opening 2a, the display panel 6 that faces the display surface from the opening 2a, and the display panel 6 are arranged on the display surface and have a peripheral edge. The touch panel 3 to which the FPC 4 is connected, the front chassis 10 that is grounded and assembled to the back side of the display panel 6, and extends from the front chassis 7 toward the back side of the touch panel 3. A protruding portion 10a protruding to a position close to the boundary portion between the peripheral edge portion and the opening 2a of the design panel 2 is provided. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent static electricity generated on the touch surface from being grounded by the protruding portion 10a and to be transmitted to internal electronic components (for example, an IC mounted on the FPC 4) via the FPC 4.

また、この実施の形態1によれば、突出部10aが、FPC4よりも幅広の板状部であるので、FPC4の幅方向から静電気が伝わることを防止でき、静電気がFPC4を介して内部の電子部品に伝わることを防止できる。   Further, according to the first embodiment, since the protruding portion 10a is a plate-like portion wider than the FPC 4, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being transmitted from the width direction of the FPC 4, and the static electricity can be transmitted through the FPC 4 to the internal electrons. It can be prevented from being transmitted to the parts.

なお、本発明はその発明の範囲内において、実施の形態の任意の構成要素の変形、もしくは実施の形態の任意の構成要素の省略が可能である。   In the present invention, any component of the embodiment can be modified or any component of the embodiment can be omitted within the scope of the invention.
