Further, the first locking groove 114 is a recessed structure at each of the upper walls 112, and the first locking groove 114 is, for example, a strip-shaped groove.

Although the positions of the locking holes of the housings produced by different manufacturers are different, in this embodiment, since any position in the first locking grooves 114 can be a screw locking portion, the frame group 100 can Assembled in a housing made by a variety of different manufacturers. In this way, the uniformity of the specifications of the frame group 100 can be improved to increase the convenience in production and reduce the production cost.

It is to be noted that in FIGS. 1 and 2, although the first frame 102 is the upper frame and the second frame 104 is the lower frame. However, in the present embodiment, the first frame 102 may be a lower frame, and the second frame 104 may be an upper frame (as shown in FIG. 3). Further, in FIG. 3, the second frame 104 further has a groove 105 corresponding to the first locking groove 114. In addition, although the first locking groove 114 of the first frame 102 of FIG. 3 is located outside the receiving space 106, the first locking groove 114 may also be located in the receiving space 106 (as shown in FIG. 4).

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, although the four sides of the first frame 102 have only one first locking groove 114, the number of the first locking grooves 114 of each side may be plural. In addition, the first locking groove 114 may be located only on opposite sides of one of the first frames 102 (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 ) or on three sides of the first frame 102 .

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the first locking groove 114 may also be formed on the side wall 110 of the first frame 102 (as shown in FIG. 7). In addition, the first locking groove 114 can be simultaneously formed on the upper wall 112 and the side wall 110 of the first frame 102 (as shown in FIG. 8) so that the frame group can be assembled into more different sizes of the housing.

[Second embodiment]

9 is a perspective view of a flat display module according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a top view of the flat display module shown in FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is taken along line II-II' of FIG. Sectional view. Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the flat display module 300' includes a frame group 100' and a display unit 200.
