Construction and method for assembling flat display panel, and plasma television

Abstract

A filter 13 which is carried from above side onto a cabinet which is carried on a full-scale production line is interposedly held between panel holder members 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d and filter holder members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d and fixed by the panel holder members 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d and the filter holder members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, and a flat display panel 11e which is also carried from the above side onto the cabinet is fixed. Moreover, the plasma display panel 11e and the filter 13 are superposed, through the panel holder members 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d and the filter holder members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, on the cabinet 12 which is in a state of being carried on the line, and are screw-fastened. Thus, when a cabinet, a flat display panel and a filter are to be fitted, the fitting operations can be easily carried out.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0024] The present invention discloses an inexpensive construction and method for fitting a resin-molded cabinet, a flat display panel and a filter, and a plasma television assembled by the fitting construction, in which the resin-molded cabinet, the flat display panel and the filter can be easily fitted in a full-scale production line, without the need of being subjected to fitting in a sub-line step, which facilitate raising of the work efficiency and reducing of the number of assembling steps, in which spacers are not required to be arranged between the plasma display panel and the filter, and which facilitate reducing of the number of screw-fastening steps and reducing of the number of screws to be used.

Problems solved by technology

However, televisions employing cathode-ray tubes, which have been dominant for a long time, structurally have problems in depth, weight thereof and power used therein.

Therefore, there are limits to the large-sizing of the televisions.

In addition, the spacers 3 for keeping a distance between the plasma display panel 1 and the filter 4 constant are required, thus increasing the cost of the television.

This lowers the work efficiency.

Moreover, it is necessary to cause the plasma display panel and the filter to be spaced apart at a fixed distance from each other, so that they can not be directly overlapped each other and it is necessary to inevitably cause spacers to be arranged between the plasma display panel and the filter, thus increasing cost.

The Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-40424 does not disclose a process for fixing the liquid crystal display panel assembly and the chassis which are stacked on the fixing frame.

Therefore, the problem in which the mounting of the cabinet, the plasma display panel and the filter is involved as discussed above remain unsettled.

The problem in which the mounting of the cabinet, the plasma display panel and the filter in the condition where the plasma display panel and the filter are kept spaced apart at the fixed distance from each other is involved as discussed above remain unsettled.
