Abstract:
1. An LCD (liquid crystal display) device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image; a PCB (printed circuit board) where a driver circuit driving the liquid crystal display panel is formed, the PCB including a pair of outer portions that extend for a predetermined length and width to provide a ground region thereon, and a circuit unit that extends between the pair of outer portions and is connected to the pair of outer portions, wherein the pair of outer portions are perpendicular to the circuit unit and extend parallel in the same direction and away from the circuit unit; and a chassis coupled to the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the PCB is located in the chassis and the ground region of the PCB is electrically connected to the chassis, wherein the pair of outer portions are located adjacent to edge sides of the liquid crystal display panel to guide the liquid crystal display panel in lateral sides, wherein a plurality of grooves are formed in the chassis, one of the plurality of grooves being formed on the chassis opposite the PCB and remainder of the plurality of grooves being formed on the chassis underneath the pair of outer portions, and wherein a plurality of via holes are formed in the pair of outer portions of the PCB to discharge a current caused by Electrostatic Discharge.
