Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 is a plan view of a main part of the display device 1 (a state in which the display unit 3 is arranged in the lower case 2), and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the display unit 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, a display unit 3 typified by a liquid crystal display unit includes a display module 4 and a mounting structure 5 for mounting the display module 4 to the case 2 of the display device 1.

The display module 4 includes a display area 6 having a diagonal length of 10 inches or more on an upper surface, and a metal or resin frame 7 formed so as to surround the display area 6.
It has a thin structure with a thickness of several mm. On the upper and lower side surfaces 8 and 9 of the display module 4, screw holes 10 and 10 for bracket attachment are formed near the left and right side surfaces 11 and 12, respectively.

Reference numerals 13 and 13 denote brackets constituting a mounting structure 5 for mounting the display module 4 to the case 2 of the display device 1. The brackets 13 are made of metal or strong resin. A pair of fixing pieces 15,
15 are integrally formed to have a U-shape. A plurality of screw holes 16, 16 for forming a mounting portion to the case 2 are formed at appropriate positions of the main portion 14, and each of the fixing pieces 15 has a bracket mounting screw formed on the frame 7. Hole 10,
The screw holes 17 corresponding to 10 are formed.

The brackets 13, 13 have main parts 14, 14 arranged along side surfaces 11, 12 located on the left and right sides of the display module 4, and have screw holes 17,
17 and the screw holes 10 and 10 of the frame 7 are aligned with each other.
The display module 4 is fixed to the upper and lower side surfaces 8 and 9 by fastening the both using the 18. These brackets 13, 13 arranged on the left and right of the display module 4
Can have different structures depending on the left and right placement positions, but if the same structure is used for left and right placement,
Productivity can be increased by sharing the structure.

Since the demand for narrowing the frame is strict for the left and right portions of the display module 4 and relatively gentle for the upper and lower portions, the brackets 13 are fixed to the upper and lower side surfaces 8 of the display module 4. 9, the structure in which the fastening positions of the screws 18 are arranged above and below the display module 4 makes it possible to reduce the width of the left and right frames of the display module 4 as compared with the conventional one shown in FIG. It can be set narrow.

Then, such brackets 13, 13
As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 3 is housed and fixed in the lower case 2 and an upper case (not shown) is attached to the display unit 1 to configure the display device 1. Here, screw holes 16, 16 arranged adjacent to the main body 14 of the brackets 13, 13 are respectively formed on the left and right side surfaces 19, 20 of the case 2.
A mounting hole 21 is formed corresponding to at least one of the above. Then, the mounting holes 21 and 21 on the left and right side surfaces of the case 2 are matched with the screw holes 16 and 16 of the brackets 13 and 13,
The display unit 3 and the case 2 are fixed by mounting the screws 22 and 22 from the outside of the case 2 and fastening them.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a main part of the display device 101, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the display unit 103. The following description focuses on parts that are significantly different from those of the first embodiment, and a detailed description of common elements is omitted.

The major difference between the first embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the structure of the brackets 113 and 113 and the fixing structure thereof. Each of the brackets 113 can be made of metal or a strong resin.
An L-shaped 15 is used. One piece 114 of the bracket 113 has a screw hole 11 for attaching the case.
6, 116 are provided, and the other piece 115 is provided with screw holes 117, 117 for fixing to the display module 104.

The left and right side surfaces 111 of the display module 104,
In order to engage with one piece 114 of the bracket 113 in a vertically movable state, an engaging portion 126 formed of a pair of upper and lower L-shaped engaging pieces is integrally formed with the frame 107. Each of the engagement portions 126 is attached to the left and right side surfaces 111 and 112 of the display module 104 in a state of being in close contact with the bracket 1.
It is sufficient that one piece 114 of the thirteen can be moved up and down, and it can be formed in a tunnel shape having a hole equivalent to the one piece 114 of the bracket 113. In addition, the L-shaped engagement piece is divided into a plurality of parts. You can also.

Then, the bracket 113 is attached to the one piece 1
14 is held in the engaging portion 126 and the display module 10
4 and the bracket 113 is moved up and down so that the screw hole 117 of the other piece 115 and the screw hole 110 of the frame 107 are aligned with each other. The bracket 113 is integrated with the four corner portions 104.

Next, as in the first embodiment, the display module 104 is positioned and stored in the case 102, and the two are fixed by fastening screws 122, 122.
The display device 101 is configured. Here, screw holes 116, 1 provided adjacent to one piece 114 of the bracket 113 are provided on left and right side surfaces 119, 120 of the case 102, respectively.
16 and mounting holes 121, 121 corresponding to at least one of
Is formed. Then, the case left and right side surfaces 119 and 12
The display unit 103 and the case 102 are fixed by aligning the mounting hole 121 of the No. 0 with the screw hole 116 of the bracket 113, attaching the screw 122 from the outside of the case 102, and fastening the two.

The brackets 113, 113 arranged at the corners of the display module 104 can have different structures depending on the arrangement positions at the respective corners. If used as
Productivity can be increased by sharing the structure. Then, as a fixing structure of the brackets 113, 113, one piece 114 is attached to the left and right side surfaces 111,
The structure in which the other piece 115 is fixed to the upper and lower side surfaces 108 and 109 of the display module 104 by engaging with the other pieces 112 makes the width of the left and right frames of the display module 104 narrower than the conventional one shown in FIG. Can be set.

The mounting structure using the bracket 113 shown in the second embodiment is useful when a display module different in size from the display module 104 is fixed to a common case having the same size as the case 102. FIG.
Is a display device 201 in which a display module 204 slightly smaller in size than the display module 104 shown in FIG.
Is shown. The bracket 213 and the case 202 used in the display device 201 are the same as those shown in FIGS. The bracket 213 (113)
Common mounting hole 221 (1) of common case 202 (102)
As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of screw holes 216, 216 (116, 116) that are compatible with display modules of different sizes are provided adjacent to each other so as to be able to use 21). Therefore, the display modules 10 of different sizes
The brackets 113 and 213 and the cases 102 and 202 can be used in common for 4 and 204, and the production efficiency can be increased.

In the above embodiment, the fixing of the display module and the bracket and the fixing of the bracket and the case are performed using screws. However, the present invention is not limited to such a fixing structure using screws. It can also be applied when using.
