LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

: A liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal element in which directions of arrangement of molecules of a liquid crystal vary in response to the application of a signal potential to control the transmission of light to effect indication. A holding member holds the liquid crystal element from its front. An illuminating member illuminates the liquid crystal element, and a circuit board having a drive circuit for outputting a signal potential for controlling indication of the liquid crystal element is provided. There is a conducting member for establishing electrical connection between the liquid crystal element and the circuit board. A box-shaped securing member serves as a foundation piece for assembly of the components. The illuminating member and the liquid crystal element are disposed in layered relationship on a front face of the securing member, while the circuit board is disposed on a rear face of the securing member. The holding member and the circuit board are secured to the securing member so that the conducting member is located in a penetrating portion provided at a peripheral portion of the securing member. The arrangement simplifies assembly and permits the device to be thinner than has been possible in the past.
