Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal television comprising: a liquid crystal module having a front face, a rear face and side surfaces interconnecting the front face and the rear face; and a television cabinet having the liquid crystal module housed therein, the liquid crystal module comprising: a device including a liquid crystal panel whose screen size is larger than 27 inch, and a backlight unit installed on a rear face of the liquid crystal panel; the liquid crystal panel having a plurality of vertically facing signal electrodes provided therein; a control substrate installed on a rear face of the backlight unit for demodulating an image signal on the basis of a television broadcast signal, producing an RGB signal per pixel of the liquid crystal television on the basis of the demodulated image signal, and carrying out control of a supply of power; two drive circuit substrates installed at predetermined positions of the device for receiving the RGB signal and the supply of power from the control substrate, to thereby drive the plurality of vertically facing signal electrodes; first four connectors mounted to the control substrate; second four connectors mounted to the drive circuit substrates; and flat cables connecting the first connectors and the second connectors, the control substrate is arranged in a vicinity of a long side of an upper side surface of the liquid crystal module with a substantially center of the control substrate located on a vertical center-line of the liquid crystal module, the first four connectors are mounted to the control substrate oriented toward the long side and two of the first four connectors are arranged at each of left and right sides interposing the vertical center-line, two of the second four connectors are mounted to each of the drive circuit substrates oriented toward the rear face of the liquid crystal module, the two drive circuit substrates are respectively arranged on left and right areas of the upper side surface so as to interpose the vertical center-line therebetween, two inner connectors of the second four connectors that interpose the vertical center-line are mounted to the drive circuit substrates in a condition where an interval between the two inner connectors becomes longer than an interval between two inner connectors of the first four connectors, two outer connectors of the second four connectors are mounted to the drive circuit substrates in a condition where an interval between the two outer connectors becomes longer than an interval between two outer connectors of the first four connectors, connection between the first connectors and the second connectors that are located on a right side of the vertical center-line is made by bending flat cables that are led from the first connectors to the right side once such that cable surface regions thereof are overlapped with each other, and bending the cables upward once such that cable surface regions thereof are overlapped with each other, connection between the first connectors and the second connectors that are located on a left side of the vertical center-line is made by bending flat cables that are led from the first connectors to the left side once such that cable surface regions thereof are overlapped with each other, and bending the cables upward once such that cable surface regions thereof are overlapped with each other, two flat cables connecting the first inner connectors and the second inner connectors are used for supplying the RGB signal to each of the drive circuit substrates from the control substrate, and two flat cables connecting the first outer connectors and the second outer connectors are used for supplying power to each of the drive circuit substrates from the control substrate.
