Abstract:
1. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device comprising: a liquid crystal panel including a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface and substantially parallel to the top surface, and a side surface substantially perpendicular to the top surface and bottom surface; a guide panel comprising a side wall and a support part supporting the bottom surface of the liquid crystal panel; a side cover surrounding the side surface of the liquid crystal panel without overlapping the top surface of the liquid crystal panel and a side surface of the guide panel, the side cover including an inner side surface facing the side surface of the liquid crystal panel and the side surface of the guide panel, an outer side surface opposite to the inner side surface, and a hole formed through the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the side cover; a conductive flexible film passing through the hole of the side cover; an electrostatic discharge pad on the outer side surface of the side cover, wherein the liquid crystal panel inside the side cover and the electrostatic discharge pad on the outer side surface of the side cover are electrically connected to each other via the conductive flexible film passing through the hole of the side cover, and wherein the side cover further includes a to surface that is substantially perpendicular to the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the side cover, and wherein the to surface of the side cover is substantially level with the to surface of the liquid crystal panel.
