<p>This invention provides a liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture into which solder can be prohibited from flowing through the gap of its corner portion when it is to be soldered to a printed circuit board, so that a liquid crystal display panel can be prevented from being held in an inclined state due to the solder flowing into the liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture. The liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture holds a liquid crystal display panel and is to be soldered to a printed circuit board. The liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture has bottom and side surfaces that are formed by bending a metal plate cut into a predetermined shape. The bottom surface has a corner portion where the cut surfaces of the metal plate that form the side surfaces are close to each other. The metal plate is obtained by performing plating for imparting solder wettability on a metal plate made of a material having poor solder wettability, and cutting the plated metal plate into the predetermined shape. Alternatively, the metal plate is made of a material having good solder wettability, and the cut surfaces are subjected to a surface treatment for hampering solder wettability. When the above arrangement is employed, the solder does not easily wet the cut surfaces of the metal plate that form adjacent side surfaces at the corner portion of the bottom surface of the liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture. Thus, the solder can be prohibited from flowing into the liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture through the gap in the adjacent cut surfaces when the liquid crystal display panel holding metal fixture is soldered to the printed circuit board. <IMAGE></p> |
