 本発明は、液晶表示装置に関し、詳しくは、液晶表示装置のフロントケースの表示用開口と液晶パネルとの間の隙間から侵入する外部の静電気により、液晶パネルの駆動ドライバが静電気破壊されることを防止するものである。 The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more specifically, a liquid crystal panel drive driver is electrostatically destroyed by external static electricity entering from a gap between a display opening of a front case of the liquid crystal display device and the liquid crystal panel. It is to prevent.
 従来、一般的なアクティブマトリクス型の液晶表示装置は、図7に示す構成とされている。液晶パネル1は多数の信号線と走査線を直交して設けたガラス基板からなるアレイ基板と、表面側に対向する基板とを液晶部材を封入し、周縁をシール材でシールして貼り合わせて形成している。前記信号線と走査線との交差部近傍にスイッチング素子(TFT)がそれぞれ設けられ、該スイッチング素子のソース電極は信号線と接続し、ゲート電極は走査線に接続している。
 前記信号線と走査線に映像信号および走査信号を供給する液晶駆動回路は、ガラス基板の上下および左右の周縁に沿って配置している。前記信号線と一端を接続するフレキシブルプリント配線基板(FPC)22に実装したソースドライバIC(以下、ソースドライバと略す)22は長辺側となる上下に配置している。走査線と接続するフレキシブルプリント配線基板(FPC)22に実装したゲートドライバIC(以下、ゲートドライバと略す)3は短辺側となる左右両側に配置している。これらソースドライバ2、ゲートドライバ3を実装した前記FPCを屈曲し、その他端は液晶パネル1の周縁に配置するソース回路基板5、ゲート回路基板6と接続している。液晶パネル1の裏面側にバックライト装置70を配置している。
Conventionally, a general active matrix type liquid crystal display device has a structure shown in FIG. In the liquid crystal panel 1, an array substrate made of a glass substrate in which a large number of signal lines and scanning lines are provided orthogonally and a substrate facing the front side are sealed with a liquid crystal member, and the periphery is sealed with a sealing material and bonded together. Forming. A switching element (TFT) is provided in the vicinity of the intersection between the signal line and the scanning line, the source electrode of the switching element is connected to the signal line, and the gate electrode is connected to the scanning line.
Liquid crystal driving circuits for supplying video signals and scanning signals to the signal lines and the scanning lines are arranged along the upper and lower and left and right edges of the glass substrate. Source driver ICs (hereinafter abbreviated as source drivers) 22 mounted on a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 22 that connects one end of the signal line to one end are arranged on the upper and lower sides on the long side. Gate driver ICs (hereinafter abbreviated as gate drivers) 3 mounted on a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 22 connected to the scanning lines are arranged on both the left and right sides, which are the short sides. The FPC on which the source driver 2 and the gate driver 3 are mounted is bent, and the other end is connected to the source circuit board 5 and the gate circuit board 6 arranged on the periphery of the liquid crystal panel 1. A backlight device 70 is disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 1.
 前記液晶パネル1の表示面側に開口10aを有する金属製枠状のベゼル10を配置し、該ベゼル10をフロントキャビネット(外筺)11内に収容し、該フロントキャビネット11に裏蓋12を組み付けている。
 前記フロントキャビネット11の表面側の開口11aはベゼル10の開口より表示面側に突出し、フロントキャビネット11の開口面積に基づいて液晶表示装置の画面サイズを規定している。
A metal frame-like bezel 10 having an opening 10 a is arranged on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel 1, the bezel 10 is accommodated in a front cabinet (outer casing) 11, and a back cover 12 is assembled to the front cabinet 11. ing.
The opening 11a on the front side of the front cabinet 11 protrudes from the opening of the bezel 10 toward the display surface, and defines the screen size of the liquid crystal display device based on the opening area of the front cabinet 11.
 前記構成からなる液晶表示装置において、フロントキャビネット11の開口端11aと液晶パネル1の表面との間に微小な隙間Cが存在する。該隙間Cを通して外部から静電気が侵入すると、ソースドライバ2およびゲートドライバ3と液晶パネル1とを接続する金属端子(電極)13にサージ電流SEが流れ、ドライバが静電気により破壊され、静電気の影響による表示ムラが発生しやすい問題がある。 In the liquid crystal display device configured as described above, there is a minute gap C between the opening end 11a of the front cabinet 11 and the surface of the liquid crystal panel 1. When static electricity enters from the outside through the gap C, a surge current SE flows to the metal terminal (electrode) 13 that connects the source driver 2 and gate driver 3 and the liquid crystal panel 1, and the driver is destroyed by static electricity. There is a problem that uneven display tends to occur.
 前記した静電気破壊の発生を防止するため、特開2006-235303号公報では、図8に示すように、ドライバ2を配置した側のフロントケース10'(前記ベゼル10に相当すると認められる)の開口の回りには表裏両面および開口端面に連続して絶縁テープ15を貼り付けている。かつ、該絶縁テープ15は内面側において、ドライバ2の配置部まで延在させ、ドライバ2の静電気破壊を防制するものとしている。 In order to prevent the occurrence of electrostatic breakdown as described above, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-235303, as shown in FIG. 8, the opening of the front case 10 ′ on the side where the driver 2 is disposed (it is recognized that it corresponds to the bezel 10). The insulating tape 15 is affixed continuously to both the front and back surfaces and the opening end surface. In addition, the insulating tape 15 extends to the arrangement portion of the driver 2 on the inner surface side to prevent electrostatic breakdown of the driver 2.
特開2006-235303号公報JP 2006-235303 A
 しかしながら、金属製のベゼルに相当するフロントケース10'の開口周縁の内外面および端面に絶縁テープ15を貼り付けるだけでは、隙間を通して内部に侵入した静電気によりフロントケース10'にサージ電流が流れ、サージ電圧が高まると、絶縁テープ15の表面に沿ってサージ電流がながれることとなる。よって、絶縁テープ15をドライバ2の配置部まで延在させて、ドライバ2と液晶パネル1との接続部を絶縁テープ15で覆うと、絶縁テープ15に沿って流れるサージ電流が接続部と短絡し、ドライバ2を静電破壊する恐れがある。
 さらに、発熱するドライバ2と対向した近接位置に絶縁テープ15を配置すると、絶縁テープ15が加熱により劣化し、溶損が発生する問題もある。
However, if only the insulating tape 15 is attached to the inner and outer surfaces and the end surface of the opening periphery of the front case 10 'corresponding to a metal bezel, a surge current flows into the front case 10' due to static electricity that has entered inside through the gap, and the surge When the voltage increases, a surge current flows along the surface of the insulating tape 15. Therefore, when the insulating tape 15 is extended to the arrangement part of the driver 2 and the connection part between the driver 2 and the liquid crystal panel 1 is covered with the insulating tape 15, the surge current flowing along the insulating tape 15 is short-circuited with the connection part. The driver 2 may be electrostatically damaged.
Furthermore, when the insulating tape 15 is disposed at a position close to the driver 2 that generates heat, there is a problem that the insulating tape 15 is deteriorated by heating and a melting damage occurs.
 本発明は前記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、前記フロントキャビネットの開口周縁と液晶パネルとの間の隙間から静電気が侵入しても、液晶パネルと接続するドライバが静電気破壊を発生しない構成とすることを課題としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even if static electricity enters from the gap between the opening edge of the front cabinet and the liquid crystal panel, the driver connected to the liquid crystal panel does not cause electrostatic breakdown. The challenge is to do.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides:

One end is connected to the periphery of the liquid crystal panel, and a flexible printed wiring board on which a driver is mounted,
A circuit board for driving that is connected to the other end of the flexible printed circuit board and disposed on the periphery of the liquid crystal panel,
The liquid crystal panel and the circuit board are accommodated, and a bezel made of a metal holding frame having an opening on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel,
An insulating tape is attached to the periphery of the opening of the bezel from the outer surface of the bezel through the opening end surface to the inner surface on the contact side with the liquid crystal panel, and in the longitudinal direction on the outer surface of the outer portion attached to the outer surface of the bezel. An extended conductor is attached, and a surge current circuit is formed by electrically connecting the conductor to the bezel at a position where the electrical connection portion between the flexible printed wiring board and the liquid crystal panel is not located. The device is provided.
 前記のように、本発明では、ベゼルの開口周縁に取り付ける絶縁テープの外側部に導体を取り付け、該導体を前記フレキシブルプリント配線基板に実装したドライバと液晶パネルとの接続部が存在しない位置でベゼルに接続してサージ電流回路を形成し、ベゼルからサージ電流を逃がす構成としている。よって、サージ電流がドライバと液晶パネルとを接続する端子部に短絡するのを防止でき、ドライバに静電気破壊が発生するのを防止できる。 前記絶縁テープはポリエステル樹脂等の絶縁性の高い樹脂で形成していること好ましい。 As described above, according to the present invention, a conductor is attached to the outer portion of the insulating tape to be attached to the periphery of the opening of the bezel, and the bezel is located at a position where there is no connection portion between the driver and the liquid crystal panel mounted on the flexible printed wiring board. And a surge current circuit is formed, and the surge current is released from the bezel. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a surge current from being short-circuited to a terminal portion connecting the driver and the liquid crystal panel, and it is possible to prevent electrostatic breakdown from occurring in the driver. The insulating tape is preferably formed of a highly insulating resin such as a polyester resin.
 前記導体の長さ方向の両端または長さ方向の一端で、フレキシブルプリント配線基板に実装したドライバと液晶パネルとの電気接続部が位置しない箇所で前記ベゼルと電気接続している。
 即ち、液晶表示装置が大型の場合では前記導体は長尺となるため、その両端をベゼルと接続することが好ましい。一方、液晶表示装置が小型の場合では前記導体は短尺となるため、少なくとも長さ方向の一端側のみをベゼルと接続している。
At both ends in the length direction of the conductor or one end in the length direction, the conductor is electrically connected to the bezel at a position where an electrical connection portion between the driver mounted on the flexible printed wiring board and the liquid crystal panel is not located.
That is, when the liquid crystal display device is large, the conductor is long, and it is preferable that both ends thereof are connected to the bezel. On the other hand, when the liquid crystal display device is small, the conductor is short, so that at least one end side in the length direction is connected to the bezel.
 さらに、液晶表示装置が大型の場合は、長尺な導体の長さ方向の中間部から裏面側の後方へと分岐する分岐導体を設け、該分岐導体の背面側先端で、フレキシブル配線板と液晶パネルとの接続部が位置しない側のベゼルの背面側で接続してもよい。 Further, when the liquid crystal display device is large, a branch conductor is provided that branches from the middle portion in the length direction of the long conductor to the rear side on the back side, and the flexible wiring board and the liquid crystal are provided at the back end of the branch conductor. You may connect on the back side of the bezel on the side where a connection part with a panel is not located.
 前記ベゼルの開口周縁の内面に柔軟樹脂シートとからなるポロンを貼り付け、前記絶縁テープは前記ポロンの開口端面から内面を囲むように取り付け、該絶縁テープの内側部を前記液晶パネルの表面に貼り付けた偏光板の表面に当接していることが好ましい。 Poron made of a flexible resin sheet is attached to the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the opening of the bezel, the insulating tape is attached so as to surround the inner surface from the opening end surface of the poron, and the inner part of the insulating tape is attached to the surface of the liquid crystal panel. It is preferable to be in contact with the surface of the attached polarizing plate.
 前記のように、金属製のベセルの開口周縁の内面に柔軟な樹脂シートからなるポロンを貼り付け、さらに、該ボロンの内面に絶縁テープを貼り付けると、該絶縁テープを液晶パネルの表面側周縁に隙間なく接触させることができる。よって、液晶パネルの表面に沿った隙間から静電気が侵入するのを防止でき、侵入した静電気をベセルの外面に取り付けた絶縁テープの外側部へと回り込ませることができる。この絶縁テープの外側部に回りこんだ静電気を、該絶縁テープの外側部の外面に取り付けた前記導体で吸収し、導体を介してベセルの外端部よりサージ電流を逃がすことができる。
 前記ポロンはマイクロセルポリマーシート(高機能ウレタンフォーム)で成形し、柔軟性および衝撃吸収性を有するものとしている。
As described above, when a poron made of a flexible resin sheet is affixed to the inner surface of the opening periphery of the metal vessel, and further an insulating tape is affixed to the inner surface of the boron, the insulating tape is attached to the surface side periphery of the liquid crystal panel. Can be contacted without gaps. Therefore, it is possible to prevent static electricity from entering through a gap along the surface of the liquid crystal panel, and to allow the entered static electricity to wrap around the outer portion of the insulating tape attached to the outer surface of the vessel. Static electricity that has flowed around the outer portion of the insulating tape is absorbed by the conductor attached to the outer surface of the outer portion of the insulating tape, and a surge current can be released from the outer end portion of the vessel through the conductor.
The poron is formed of a microcell polymer sheet (highly functional urethane foam) and has flexibility and shock absorption.
 前記絶縁テープの外側部の外面に取り付ける前記導体は、前記絶縁テープの幅方向の中央部に配置する細帯状とし、絶縁テープの幅方向の両端から突出させない一方、該絶縁テープの長さ方向の先端から導体を突出させて前記ベゼルと導電性樹脂を介して接続していることが好ましい。 The conductor attached to the outer surface of the outer side of the insulating tape is in the form of a narrow band arranged at the center in the width direction of the insulating tape, and does not protrude from both ends in the width direction of the insulating tape, while the length of the insulating tape is It is preferable that a conductor protrudes from the tip and is connected to the bezel via a conductive resin.
 前記導体は銅箔、銅テープ等の導電性に優れた金属材料で形成していることが好ましい。前記絶縁テープの幅に対して導体の幅は1/2~1/4とし、導体が絶縁テープの幅方向から突出させないようにしている。これにより、導体は長さ方向の先端の隅部以外でベゼルと接触しないようにし、ベゼルからドライバへのサージ電流の短絡を確実に防止している。 The conductor is preferably formed of a metal material having excellent conductivity, such as copper foil or copper tape. The width of the conductor is 1/2 to 1/4 with respect to the width of the insulating tape so that the conductor does not protrude from the width direction of the insulating tape. Thus, the conductor is prevented from coming into contact with the bezel except at the corner at the tip in the length direction, and the short circuit of the surge current from the bezel to the driver is surely prevented.
 前記ベゼルの開口の上下および左右の周縁に前記絶縁テープを取り付ける一方、少なくとも前記フレキシブルプリント配線基板に実装したソースドライバが配置されている開口周縁側の前記絶縁テープの外側部に前記導体を取り付けていることが好ましい。 The insulating tape is attached to the upper and lower and left and right peripheral edges of the bezel opening, and the conductor is attached to the outer portion of the insulating tape on the opening peripheral side where at least the source driver mounted on the flexible printed circuit board is disposed. Preferably it is.
 本発明では、液晶パネルの表示面側とベゼルの開口周縁の隙間から侵入する静電気によりドライバの破壊を防止するものであるため、ドライバが配置されている上下、左右のいずれかの周縁で、ベゼルに取り付けている絶縁テープに前記のように導体を取り付けることが好ましい。
 通常、ソースドライバは長辺側の周縁となる上下両側または上下いずれか一方側は配置され、ゲートドライバは短辺側の周縁となる左右両側または左右いずれか一方側に配置される。静電気破壊防止用として前記絶縁テープに取り付ける導体は、少なくとも静電気の耐性の弱いドライバの配置側の開口周縁の絶縁テープに取り付けることが好ましい。
 なお、大型の液晶表示装置では、ドライバを配置する短辺側の開口長さが大となるため、短辺側の開口周縁に装着する絶縁テープにも前記導体を取り付けることが好ましい。
In the present invention, since the driver is prevented from being destroyed by static electricity entering from the gap between the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel and the opening peripheral edge of the bezel, the bezel is placed at the upper, lower, left or right peripheral edge where the driver is disposed. It is preferable to attach the conductor to the insulating tape attached to the cover as described above.
Usually, the source driver is arranged on either the upper or lower side or the upper or lower side which becomes the long side edge, and the gate driver is arranged on the left or right side or the left or right side which becomes the short side edge. The conductor attached to the insulating tape for preventing electrostatic breakdown is preferably attached to the insulating tape on the peripheral edge of the opening on the side where the driver having low resistance to static electricity is disposed.
In a large liquid crystal display device, since the opening length on the short side where the driver is arranged is large, it is preferable to attach the conductor to the insulating tape attached to the opening periphery of the short side.
 前記絶縁テープの内側部の先端は、液晶パネルと接続する前記フレキシブルプリント配線基板の先端の接続端子に空間をあけて囲む位置までとする。該絶縁テープの内側部の先端に近接した位置には、前記フレキシブルプリント配線基板とベゼルとの間に放熱シートを介設してもよい。 The leading end of the inner part of the insulating tape extends to a position surrounding the connecting terminal at the leading end of the flexible printed wiring board connected to the liquid crystal panel with a space. A heat radiation sheet may be interposed between the flexible printed wiring board and the bezel at a position close to the tip of the inner side of the insulating tape.
 ドライバを構成するフレキシブルプリント配線基板の回路先端に金属端子を接続し、該金属端子を液晶パネルの回路と電気接続しているが、ドライバが動作時はドライバ自身が高温状態となる。よって、ドライバに近接して若しくは接触して絶縁テープを配置すると、絶縁テープが加熱されて溶損が発生する恐れがある。しかし、該電気接続部にサージ電流が短絡するのを確実に防止する必要があり、絶縁テープで覆うことが好ましい。よって、本発明では、前記金属端子による電気接続部は空間をあけて絶縁テープで覆うと共に、絶縁テープの内側部は該電気接続部を覆う位置で終端し、ドライバ側へは延在させていない。かつ、該電気接続部に近接する位置でドライバとベゼルとの間に放熱シートを介在させることで、ドライバに発生する熱を放熱シートを介してベゼルへ伝達して放熱を図り、前記金属端子による接続部の加熱を抑制している。
 前記放熱シートは絶縁性を有するシリコーン樹脂(高分子有機化合物)で形成することが好ましい。
A metal terminal is connected to the circuit tip of the flexible printed circuit board constituting the driver, and the metal terminal is electrically connected to the circuit of the liquid crystal panel. However, when the driver is operating, the driver itself is in a high temperature state. Therefore, when the insulating tape is disposed close to or in contact with the driver, the insulating tape may be heated to cause melting. However, it is necessary to reliably prevent a surge current from being short-circuited to the electrical connection portion, and it is preferable to cover with an insulating tape. Therefore, in the present invention, the electrical connection portion by the metal terminal is covered with an insulating tape with a space, and the inner portion of the insulating tape is terminated at a position covering the electrical connection portion and does not extend to the driver side. . In addition, by disposing a heat dissipation sheet between the driver and the bezel at a position close to the electrical connection portion, heat generated in the driver is transmitted to the bezel via the heat dissipation sheet, thereby radiating heat. Heating of the connecting part is suppressed.
The heat dissipation sheet is preferably formed of an insulating silicone resin (polymer organic compound).
 前記ベゼルに絶縁材からなるフロントキャビネットを被せ、該フロントキャビネットの表示面側に開口を設け、該開口の周縁部に形成する開口周縁壁部の先端面を前記液晶パネルの表示面側の偏光板と接するように配置している。該フロントキャビネットの開口周縁部で前記ベゼルの開口周縁に取り付ける前記絶縁テープで覆い、該絶縁テープの外側部の外面はフロントキャビネットの内面に対向して位置している。ただし、該開口周縁部の先端面と前記偏光板の間には、構造上、微小な隙間が存在する場合がある。 A front cabinet made of an insulating material is covered on the bezel, an opening is provided on the display surface side of the front cabinet, and a front end surface of an opening peripheral wall portion formed on a peripheral portion of the opening is a polarizing plate on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel It is arranged to touch. The opening peripheral edge of the front cabinet is covered with the insulating tape attached to the opening peripheral edge of the bezel, and the outer surface of the outer side of the insulating tape is located facing the inner surface of the front cabinet. However, there may be a minute gap between the front end face of the peripheral edge of the opening and the polarizing plate due to the structure.
 液晶表示装置では、ベゼルに樹脂成形品からなる絶縁性のフロントキャビネットが取り付けられる。液晶パネルの表示画面のサイズはフロントキャビネットの開口サイズで規定され、該フロントキャビネットの開口先端は液晶パネルの偏光板の表面に配置される。
 前記フロントキャビネットの開口と偏光板との間に隙間が発生しても、その内部で、前記ベゼルに開口周縁に装着した絶縁テープがポロンにより弾性支持されて液晶パネルの表面に当接されるため、液晶パネルの表面に沿って静電気が流れるのを防止することができる。
In a liquid crystal display device, an insulating front cabinet made of a resin molded product is attached to a bezel. The size of the display screen of the liquid crystal panel is defined by the opening size of the front cabinet, and the front end of the opening of the front cabinet is disposed on the surface of the polarizing plate of the liquid crystal panel.
Even if a gap is generated between the opening of the front cabinet and the polarizing plate, the insulating tape attached to the periphery of the opening on the bezel is elastically supported by the poron and contacts the surface of the liquid crystal panel. Static electricity can be prevented from flowing along the surface of the liquid crystal panel.
 なお、前記フロントキャビネットを導電性を有する金属材やカーボン繊維強化樹脂で形成する場合には、前記絶縁テープの外側部の外面に取り付ける導体と接触するおそれがあるため、導体の外面を絶縁テープで被覆している。 When the front cabinet is formed of a conductive metal material or carbon fiber reinforced resin, there is a risk of contact with the conductor attached to the outer surface of the outer portion of the insulating tape. It is covered.
 本発明は、前記のように、ベゼルの表示側開口と液晶パネルとの間の隙間から内部に侵入する静電気を、ベゼルの開口周縁に装着する絶縁テープの外側部の外面に取り付けた導体で吸収し、該導体にサージ電流を流しベゼルの隅部で導体をベゼルと接続している。よって、サージ電流をドライバに影響を与えない位置でベゼルへと逃がすことができ、その結果、ドライバに静電気破壊が発生するのを確実に防止することができる。 As described above, the present invention absorbs static electricity entering from the gap between the display side opening of the bezel and the liquid crystal panel by the conductor attached to the outer surface of the outer side of the insulating tape attached to the periphery of the opening of the bezel. Then, a surge current is passed through the conductor, and the conductor is connected to the bezel at the corner of the bezel. Therefore, it is possible to release the surge current to the bezel at a position that does not affect the driver, and as a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the electrostatic breakdown from occurring in the driver.

 前記ポロン25を内面側に接着剤で貼り付けたベゼル20の開口周縁部には、ベゼル20の外面から開口20aの端面を通してポロン25の内面側へと絶縁テープ30をU形状に折り返して連続して貼り付けている。
 該絶縁テープはUL規格を満たしているポリエステル樹脂で形成し、厚さは0.02~0.1mmとしている。
The insulating tape 30 is continuously folded back in the U shape from the outer surface of the bezel 20 to the inner surface side of the poron 25 through the end surface of the opening 20a at the peripheral edge of the opening of the bezel 20 where the poron 25 is bonded to the inner surface side with an adhesive. Pasted.
The insulating tape is made of a polyester resin that meets UL standards, and has a thickness of 0.02 to 0.1 mm.
 詳しくは、絶縁テープ30は、ベゼル20の段状屈折部20bの外面に貼り付ける外側部30aと、ベゼル20の開口端面20cおよびポロン25の開口端面25aに貼り付ける屈曲端面部30bと、ポロン25の内面に貼り付ける内側部30cとからなる。
 ベゼル20を液晶パネル1に組みつけた状態で、絶縁テープ30の内側部30cは偏光板9の外面とポロン25に挟まれて位置する。該内側部30cは、液晶パネル1と接続するソースドライバ2の先端の金属端子23を空間Sをあけて外面から覆う位置まで延在する。該絶縁テープ30の内側部30cの先端30dは金属端子23を覆う位置までとし、ソースドライバ2は覆わないようにしている。
 また、絶縁テープ30の屈曲端面部30bは、フロントキャビネット21を取り付けた状態で、フロントキャビネット21の開口周縁壁部21cの内面に隙間をあけて位置させている。
Specifically, the insulating tape 30 includes an outer portion 30a attached to the outer surface of the stepped refracting portion 20b of the bezel 20, a bent end surface portion 30b attached to the opening end surface 20c of the bezel 20 and the opening end surface 25a of the poron 25, and the poron 25. And an inner portion 30c to be attached to the inner surface.
In a state where the bezel 20 is assembled to the liquid crystal panel 1, the inner portion 30 c of the insulating tape 30 is located between the outer surface of the polarizing plate 9 and the poron 25. The inner portion 30c extends to a position where the metal terminal 23 at the tip of the source driver 2 connected to the liquid crystal panel 1 is covered with the space S and covered from the outer surface. The leading end 30d of the inner portion 30c of the insulating tape 30 extends to a position that covers the metal terminal 23, and the source driver 2 is not covered.
Further, the bent end surface portion 30b of the insulating tape 30 is positioned with a gap in the inner surface of the opening peripheral wall portion 21c of the front cabinet 21 with the front cabinet 21 attached.
 前記金属端子23と近接した位置で、かつ、絶縁テープ30の内側部30cの先端と近接した位置に、ソースドライバ2とベゼル20との間に放熱シート32を取り付けている。該放熱シート32は絶縁性を有するシリコーン樹脂(高分子有機化合物)で形成している。該放熱シート32によりソースドライバ2から発生する熱をベゼル20へと流して放熱し、絶縁テープ30が熱影響を受けないようにしている。 A heat dissipating sheet 32 is attached between the source driver 2 and the bezel 20 at a position close to the metal terminal 23 and close to the tip of the inner portion 30c of the insulating tape 30. The heat radiating sheet 32 is formed of an insulating silicone resin (polymer organic compound). The heat radiation sheet 32 causes heat generated from the source driver 2 to flow to the bezel 20 to radiate heat, so that the insulating tape 30 is not affected by heat.
 前記ソースドライバ2の配置側となる上下両側では、ベゼル20の段状屈折部20bの外面に貼り付ける絶縁テープ30の外側部30aの外面に、細幅な銅箔からなる導体35を貼着している。
 導体35は、図3に示すように、絶縁テープ30の幅方向の両端30s1、30s2から突出させず、長さ方向Lの両端では絶縁テープ30の両端から両端突出部35aと35bを突出させている。該導体35の両端突出部35a、35bが突出する位置は、対向する内面側に液晶パネル1およびソースドライバ2が位置しない左右両端位置でベゼル20の上下枠と左右枠とが連続する隅部としている。
 前記導体の両端突出部35aと35bは導電性接着剤37を介してベゼル20の外面と直接に接着固定して、電気接続している。
A conductor 35 made of a thin copper foil is attached to the outer surface of the outer portion 30a of the insulating tape 30 to be attached to the outer surface of the stepped refracting portion 20b of the bezel 20 on both the upper and lower sides on which the source driver 2 is arranged. ing.
As shown in FIG. 3, the conductor 35 does not protrude from both ends 30 s 1 and 30 s 2 in the width direction of the insulating tape 30, and both end protruding portions 35 a and 35 b protrude from both ends of the insulating tape 30 at both ends in the length direction L. Yes. The protruding positions 35a, 35b of the conductor 35 are the corners where the upper and lower frames of the bezel 20 and the left and right frames are continuous at the left and right end positions where the liquid crystal panel 1 and the source driver 2 are not positioned on the opposing inner surface side. Yes.
Both end protrusions 35 a and 35 b of the conductor are directly bonded and fixed to the outer surface of the bezel 20 via a conductive adhesive 37 to be electrically connected.
 導体35からベゼル20へと流れるサージ電流SEは、ベゼル20と接続するバックライトシャーシ(図示せず)へと流し、バックライトシャーシに取り付けた電源回路(図示せず)を介して電源コンセント(図示せず)へ接地している。 The surge current SE flowing from the conductor 35 to the bezel 20 flows to a backlight chassis (not shown) connected to the bezel 20, and is connected to a power outlet (not shown) via a power circuit (not shown) attached to the backlight chassis. (Not shown).
 前記のように、ソースドライバ2の配置側となる上下両側には、ベゼル20に装着する絶縁テープ30に、さらに導体35を取り付けてサージ電流回路を形成している。
 一方、ゲートドライバ3の配置側となる左右両側には、絶縁テープ30と導体35を取り付けておらず、サージ電流回路は形成していない。
 これは、本実施形態の液晶表示装置が中型および小型で、ゲートドライバ3はソースドライバ2より静電気破壊に対する耐性が強いためである。
As described above, on both the upper and lower sides on the side where the source driver 2 is arranged, a surge current circuit is formed by further attaching a conductor 35 to the insulating tape 30 attached to the bezel 20.
On the other hand, the insulating tape 30 and the conductor 35 are not attached to the left and right sides on the side where the gate driver 3 is arranged, and no surge current circuit is formed.
This is because the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment is medium and small, and the gate driver 3 is more resistant to electrostatic breakdown than the source driver 2.
 前記のように、本実施形態の液晶表示装置では、ベゼル20の開口周縁に装着する絶縁テープ30の外側部30aの外面に、さらに導体35を配置し、該導体35を左右両端の隅部でベゼル20と電気接続して、サージ電流回路を形成している。
 よって、フロントキャビネット21の開口端と液晶パネル1の表面に貼り付けた偏光板9との間の微小な隙間Cがある場合、ベゼル20およびフロントキャビネット21で液晶パネル1の周縁部およびソースドライバ2を囲んだ部分に、外部から静電気が侵入し、ベゼル20にサージ電流SEが発生しても、該サージ電流を導体35に集めることができる。導体35は、ソースドライバ2と液晶パネル1を接続する金属端子23と対向する位置より離れた左右両側端でベゼル20へと流すことができる。その結果、サージ電流が金属端子23と短絡するのを確実に防止できる。
As described above, in the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment, the conductor 35 is further arranged on the outer surface of the outer portion 30a of the insulating tape 30 attached to the opening periphery of the bezel 20, and the conductor 35 is disposed at the left and right corners. A surge current circuit is formed by electrical connection with the bezel 20.
Therefore, when there is a minute gap C between the opening end of the front cabinet 21 and the polarizing plate 9 attached to the surface of the liquid crystal panel 1, the peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel 1 and the source driver 2 in the bezel 20 and the front cabinet 21. Even if static electricity penetrates into the portion surrounded by the outside and a surge current SE is generated in the bezel 20, the surge current can be collected on the conductor 35. The conductor 35 can flow to the bezel 20 at both left and right ends away from the position facing the metal terminal 23 connecting the source driver 2 and the liquid crystal panel 1. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the surge current from being short-circuited with the metal terminal 23.
 特に、絶縁テープ30に貼り付ける導体35は、液晶パネル1およびソースドライバ2が対向する内部側に位置していない左右両端の隅部でベゼル20と電気接続している。かつ、ベゼル20の外面に貼り付ける絶縁テープ30の外側部30aの外面に導体を取り付けているため、導体35を流れるサージ電流SEがソースドライバ2や液晶パネル1の回路に対して影響してノイズ発生源となるのを防止できる。 In particular, the conductor 35 attached to the insulating tape 30 is electrically connected to the bezel 20 at the left and right corners that are not located on the inner side where the liquid crystal panel 1 and the source driver 2 face each other. In addition, since the conductor is attached to the outer surface of the outer portion 30a of the insulating tape 30 to be attached to the outer surface of the bezel 20, the surge current SE flowing through the conductor 35 affects the circuit of the source driver 2 and the liquid crystal panel 1 and causes noise. It can be prevented from becoming a source.
 図4に第二実施形態を示す。第二実施形態は小型の液晶表示装置に好適に用いられる。
 絶縁テープ30の外側部30aの外面に取り付ける導体35の右端は、絶縁テープ30より突出させず、導体35は左端突出部35bのみを絶縁テープ30より突出させ、ベゼル20と電気接続している。このように、導体35の左端のみからベゼル20へと連続するサージ電流回路を形成している。他の構成は第一実施形態と同様とし、同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment. The second embodiment is suitably used for a small liquid crystal display device.
The right end of the conductor 35 attached to the outer surface of the outer portion 30 a of the insulating tape 30 is not protruded from the insulating tape 30, and only the left end protruding portion 35 b protrudes from the insulating tape 30 and is electrically connected to the bezel 20. Thus, a surge current circuit is formed which continues from only the left end of the conductor 35 to the bezel 20. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.
 液晶表示装置が小型である場合には、上下両辺の寸法も短いため、絶縁テープ30に取り付ける導体35の長さも短くなる。よって、導体35の左右方向のいずれか一端側でのみベゼル20の隅部と接続しても、サージ電流によりソースドライバが悪影響を受けることを防止できる。 When the liquid crystal display device is small, the length of the conductor 35 attached to the insulating tape 30 is also short because the dimensions of the upper and lower sides are short. Therefore, even if the conductor 35 is connected to the corner portion of the bezel 20 only on one end side in the left-right direction, the source driver can be prevented from being adversely affected by the surge current.
 図5に第三実施形態を示す。第三実施形態は大型の液晶表示装置に好適に用いられる。
 第三実施形態では、ゲートドライバ3を配置する左右両側において、ベゼル20の左右両側に絶縁テープ30を取り付け、外側部30aの外面にも導体35を取り付け、該導体35は上下突出端部のみ突出させ、ベゼル20と導体35とを接続している。他の構成は前記第一実施形態と同様としている。
 該構成とすると、ゲートドライバ3側でも、ソースドライバ2側と同様に、液晶パネル1との接続部を形成する金属端子23に、ベゼル20を流れるサージ電流が短絡して静電気破壊が発生するのを防止することができる。
FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment. The third embodiment is suitably used for a large liquid crystal display device.
In the third embodiment, the insulating tape 30 is attached to both the left and right sides of the bezel 20 on both the left and right sides where the gate driver 3 is disposed, and the conductor 35 is also attached to the outer surface of the outer portion 30a. The bezel 20 and the conductor 35 are connected. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
With this configuration, similarly to the source driver 2 side, the surge current flowing through the bezel 20 is short-circuited to the metal terminal 23 forming the connection portion with the liquid crystal panel 1 on the gate driver 3 side, and electrostatic breakdown occurs. Can be prevented.
 図6に第四実施形態を示す。第四実施形態は第三実施形態と同様に大型の液晶表示装置に好適に用いられる。
 第一実施形態と同様に、ソースドライバ2の配置側となる上下両側には、ベゼル20の開口の上下両端縁に沿って絶縁テープ30を取り付け、該絶縁テープ30の外側部30aに導体35を取り付け、該導体35の左右両端部35a、35bをベゼル20に電気接続している。
 さらに、前記左右突出部35a、35bと直線状に連続する導体35の左右方向の延在部35cに、間隔をあけて背面側の後方に分岐する分岐突出部35hを設け、該分岐突出部35hの後方突出端35iを絶縁テープ30から突出させて、ベゼル20と電気接続して、分岐サージ電流回路を形成している。該分岐突出端35iとベゼル20との接続位置と対向する内面側にはソースドライバ2と液晶パネル1との接続部は配置されていない。
 他の構成は第一実施形態と同様であるため、同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
FIG. 6 shows a fourth embodiment. The fourth embodiment is suitably used for a large liquid crystal display device as in the third embodiment.
As in the first embodiment, the insulating tape 30 is attached along the upper and lower edges of the opening of the bezel 20 on both the upper and lower sides on which the source driver 2 is arranged, and the conductor 35 is attached to the outer portion 30 a of the insulating tape 30. The left and right ends 35 a and 35 b of the conductor 35 are electrically connected to the bezel 20.
Furthermore, a branch protrusion 35h that branches backward on the back side with a gap is provided in the left-right extension 35c of the conductor 35 that is linearly continuous with the left and right protrusions 35a, 35b, and the branch protrusion 35h. The rear projecting end 35i of the first electrode is protruded from the insulating tape 30 and is electrically connected to the bezel 20 to form a branch surge current circuit. A connecting portion between the source driver 2 and the liquid crystal panel 1 is not disposed on the inner surface side facing the connecting position between the branch projecting end 35 i and the bezel 20.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.
 左右方向の長さが大となる大型の液晶表示装置では、左右方向に延在する導体35の長さも大となる。よって、前記のように、導体35の左右両端部35a、35bのみからベゼル20へサージ電流を流すことに加えて、導体35の長さ方向の中間位置に設けた分岐突出端35iからもサージ電流をベゼル20へと流すようにしている。該構成とすると、長尺なベゼル20からの漏れサージ電流を無くして、ソースドライバへのサージ電流の悪影響を確実に防止することができる。なお、ゲートドライバ側の左右両側に配置する導体35にも同様に分岐突出端を設けてもよい。 In a large liquid crystal display device having a large length in the left-right direction, the length of the conductor 35 extending in the left-right direction is also large. Therefore, as described above, in addition to flowing a surge current from only the left and right ends 35a and 35b of the conductor 35 to the bezel 20, the surge current is also generated from the branch projecting end 35i provided at an intermediate position in the length direction of the conductor 35. To the bezel 20. With this configuration, the leakage surge current from the long bezel 20 can be eliminated, and the adverse effect of the surge current on the source driver can be reliably prevented. Note that the branch projecting ends may be similarly provided on the conductors 35 arranged on both the left and right sides on the gate driver side.
