Abstract
A liquid crystal display device has: a liquid crystal display unit 11; a flexible circuit board 12 which is connected to the liquid crystal display unit 11, contact portions being formed in a tip end portion of the flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board being bent back outside a holding member 10; the holding member 10 which holds the liquid crystal display unit 11; a printed circuit board 20 to which the holding member 10 is attached, and on which contact portions are exposed; conductor-embedded elastic members 30 through which the contact portions on the printed circuit board 20 are connected to the contact portions of the flexible circuit board 12, respectively; and a corrugated elastic member 40 which is interposed between the holding member 10 and the flexible circuit board 12 to press the flexible circuit board 12. The flexible circuit board 12 is bent back outside the holding member 10 and urged by the corrugated elastic member 40, whereby the printed circuit board 20 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 12.
