Abstract
A liquid crystal display device 1 having a liquid crystal display panel 2, a flexible printed circuit board 4, an optical member 7, a case 6 for housing the above-mentioned members, and a front frame 13 for fixing the members housed in the case 6, in which the flexible printed circuit board 4 is folded to form at least two layers and passes through the rear surface of the case 6 via slits 6e′, 8e′ provided at the bottom of an optical member 7 and the case 6, and attached to the rear surface of the case 6. Further, protrusions 12a, 12b are formed on the rear surface of the case 6, and openings 41, 42 and 41′, 42′ are formed on the board to fit the protrusions for fixing the flexible printed circuit board 4, and the flexible printed circuit board is fixed to the rear surface of the case 6 by fitting the openings 41, 42 and 41′, 42′ to the protrusions 12a, 12b. Consequently, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device to which a long flexible printed circuit board is mounted in a compact state.
