Benefits of technology

[0019]The locating members hold the side surfaces forming the corners of the display panel to locate the display panel and are fastened to the front cabinet with the screws. Therefore, only the locating members need to be changed and any changes in the front cabinet are unnecessary to deal with the change of the shape of the display panel. Since the display panel is fixed to the front cabinet after locating the corners of the display panel, any comparatively large fixing members are unnecessary and materials can be reduced to reduce the cost.
[0030]According to the present invention, fastening directions in which the screws exert fastening force are uniform and hence ease of assembling work can be improved.

Problems solved by technology

Design change takes a long time and increases the cost.

first embodiment

1. First Embodiment

2. Second Embodiment

[0046]FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a flat panel display 100 in a first embodiment according to the present invention. The flat panel display 100 includes a substantially rectangular display panel 20 capable of displaying images, a front cabinet 30 forming a front part of a cabinet for holding the display panel 20 therein, and a rear cabinet 40 forming a rear part of the cabinet.

[0047]The flat panel display 100 is assembled by putting the display panel 20 in the front cabinet 30 through the open rear end 31 of the front cabinet 30 and fixing the display panel 20 to the front cabinet 30, and then fixedly joining the rear cabinet 40 to the front cabinet 30 so as to cover the open rear end 31 of the front cabinet 30. The display panel 20 is fixed to the front panel 30 after being positioned on the front cabinet 30 by locating members 10. A driving board, not shown, for driving the display panel 20 is attached to the back surface of the...

second embodiment

2. Second Embodiment

[0075]The first embodiment uses the locating members 10 for locating the display panel 20 on the front cabinet 30. The locating members 10 may be used for fixing the display panel 20 to the front cabinet 30. When the display panel 20 is a small one, such as a 15 in. display panel, the display panel 20 has a small weight. Such a light display panel 20 can be satisfactorily fixed to the front cabinet 30 only by the locating members 10.

[0076]FIG. 13 is a rear view of a front cabinet 30 in a modification and a display panel 20 fixed to the front cabinet 30. Since diagonally opposite corners of the display panel 20 are located on and fixed to the front cabinet 30 by locating members 10, parts like the first bosses 35 and the screws for fixing the display panel 30 to the front cabinet 30 are not necessary and work for assembling a flat panel display 100 can be reduced. Consequently, time for assembling the flat panel display 100 can be curtailed.

Abstract

A flat panel display includes locating members each having a plate-shaped base part, a holding surface rising substantially perpendicularly from sides forming a corner of the base part, and a flange extending outward from the skirt of the holding surface and provided with through holes. The locating members are disposed with the base parts thereof facing a back surface of a display panel and the holding surfaces pressed against side surfaces forming corners of the display panel. Screws passed through the through holes are screwed into the internally threaded holes of bosses to locate the display panel on a front cabinet. The specifications of the display panel can be changed without changing the design of the front cabinet.
