[Patent Document 1]
JP 2001-59014 A (FIG. 1)
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the portable display device having such a configuration, when it is lifted through a handle, as shown in FIG. 5, the center of gravity moves on a vertical line of a handle (fulcrum) arranged on the back surface, thereby tilting.
[0006]
Therefore, in this portable display device, when the user holding the handle is lifted, the portable display device is inclined to the user side.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and intends to propose a display device that can be easily carried.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
This onset bright order to solve such problems, a portable display device, a liquid crystal display panel, and the thin cabinet for a liquid crystal panel, of the cabinet, be between the cabinet top and a liquid crystal display panel upper The display device is provided on a vertical line of the center of gravity of the display device, and has a through-hole penetrating at right angles to a cabinet front surface portion on the liquid crystal surface side and a cabinet rear surface portion in parallel with the cabinet front surface portion . The cabinet from the through hole to the upper end of the cabinet is the gripping portion, the upper end of the gripping portion is the same height as the upper end of the cabinet, and the width of the gripping portion is the same thickness as the cabinet .
[0009]
Therefore, in this display device, when the user holding the grip portion lifts, the tilt toward the user side can be avoided.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a portable display device as a whole, which includes a main body 2 and a support base 3 that supports the main body 2. For example, a dipole antenna (not shown) built in the main body 2. By transmitting and receiving various types of information to and from an external device, video and audio corresponding to the information can be output.
[0012]
The main body 2 includes a thin display panel 4 made of, for example, liquid crystal and a thin cabinet 5 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that forms the outer shape of the display panel 4. The cabinet 5 is made of, for example, ABS resin (acrylonitrile styrene co-polymer). Polymerized resin) or the like.
[0013]
In the cabinet 5, a curved portion 6 is formed at the center of the upper portion, and an operation portion 7 having a plurality of operation buttons is disposed below the curved portion 6 along the curved portion.
[0014]
In addition to such a configuration, the main body 2 has a plate-shaped outer frame gripping portion 8 made of resin at the top of the cabinet 5, and the plate-shaped outer frame gripping portion 8 and the cabinet at the top of the main body 2. A bowl-shaped opening OP is formed by the five curved portions 6.
[0015]
Therefore, the portable display device 1 can be lifted by gripping the outer frame gripping portion 8 through the opening OP.
[0016]
In this case, in the portable display device 1, the outer frame gripping portion 8 is melted into the cabinet 5 by combining the outer frame gripping portion 8 with the function as the outer frame and the function as the handle. It can be provided.
[0017]
In the portable display device 1, the handle (outer frame gripping portion 8), which has been common knowledge to be placed on the back in terms of appearance from the front, is provided so as to melt into the cabinet 5. The product concept of “carrying equipment” can be promoted.
[0018]
In such a portable display device 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a front cabinet 5A, an operation unit 7, an outer frame gripping unit 8, a speaker 9, speaker accessory parts 9A and 9B, a display panel 4, a bracket 10, and a motherboard. 11, the power supply unit 12, the rear cabinet 5 </ b> B, and the rear cover 13 are configured by connecting the support base 3 via the hinge portion 14 to the main body 2 that is formed by fitting in a stacked manner.
[0019]
In this case, in the portable display device 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the center of the opening OP and the center of the outer frame gripping portion 8 are selected so as to be positioned on the vertical line LN of the center of gravity COG of the device 1, respectively. Has been.
[0020]
Therefore, when the portable display device 1 is lifted through the outer frame gripping portion 8, it can avoid the inclination in the horizontal direction with respect to the ground, and thus the state at the time of installation (FIG. 3A) and The lifted state (FIG. 3B) can be kept in the same state.
[0021]
In the case of this embodiment, in the outer frame gripping portion 8, the material contains a non-conductive member such as glass fiber for increasing rigidity, but a predetermined injection molding process for further increasing the surface is performed. As a result, the glass fiber is not exposed on the surface and is formed smoothly, which not only increases the strength and paint adhesion strength, but also does not give an uncomfortable feeling when gripped. ing.
[0022]
In addition, as a result of the injection molding process being performed in the outer frame gripping portion 8, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, a cross section (see FIG. 4A) in the outer frame gripping portion 8 (FIG. 4A). 4 (B)) is formed in a hollow shape, so that the weight can be reduced while maintaining the strength.
[0023]
In the above configuration, the portable display device 1 is configured by the thin cabinet 5 that forms the outer shape of the display panel 4 and the outer frame gripping portion 8 provided on the upper portion of the cabinet 5. When the user holding the outer frame gripping portion 8 lifts, it is possible to avoid tilting toward the user side, so that it is possible to prevent adverse effects such as hitting the user's feet being carried by the tilt. Can be easy to carry.
[0024]
In this case, in the portable display device 1, since the outer frame gripping portion 8 is provided on the vertical line LN of the center of gravity COG in the portable display device 1, it is possible to avoid tilting in the horizontal direction with respect to the ground. Therefore, the state at the time of installation (FIG. 3A) and the state at the time of lifting (FIG. 3B) can be kept in the same state, and can be more easily carried.
[0025]
Further, in the portable display device 1, the outer frame gripping portion 8 integrally formed as the upper outer frame of the cabinet 5 is provided, so that the outer frame gripping portion 8 can be provided so as to melt into the cabinet 5. Therefore, the appearance can be refreshed.
[0026]
According to the above configuration, the portable display device 1 is configured by the thin cabinet 5 and the outer frame gripping portion 8 provided on the upper portion of the cabinet 5, so that the horizontal display with respect to the ground can be performed. Tilt can be avoided, adverse effects on the user being carried by the tilt can be prevented, and thus it can be easily carried.
[0027]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the thin cabinet 5 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in FIG. 1 is applied to the present invention as the thin cabinet forming the outer shape of the display panel 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and thin cabinets having various configurations can be applied to the present invention.
[0028]
