Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:a liquid crystal panel having a liquid crystal material between opposed transparent plates for displaying an image by changing the intensity of a transmitted light when a molecular sequence of the liquid crystal material is changed by an applied voltage; a back light transmission plate or a front light transmission plate provided in contact with the liquid crystal panel for transmitting a light for illuminating the liquid crystal panel; a circuit board for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal panel and having wiring patterns thereon; a spur comprised of a flexible extension portion that projects from the circuit board as a single unit and having wiring patterns thereon; and a luminous body that is connected to a wire on the spur for emitting light; wherein a back light display unit is formed by stacking the circuit board, the back light transmission plate, and the liquid crystal panel successively from the bottom, or a front light display unit is formed by stacking the circuit board, the liquid crystal panel, and the front light transmission plate successively from the bottom, and by bending the spur so that the luminous body faces the back light transmission plate or the front light transmission plate so that the luminous body is maintained at a position where light emitted by the luminous body is transmitted to the back light transmission plate or the front light transmission plate.
