CLAIM OF PRIORITY 
     This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. §119 from an application for DISPLAY earlier filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on Dec. 27, 2000 and there duly assigned Serial No. 83362/2000 by that Office. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates in general to an on screen display (OSD) controller assembly mounted in a displaying apparatus, and more particularly, to an OSD controller assembly including a knob support and a printed circuit board support formed in a monolithic structure. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     OSD controller units have been mounted in a displaying apparatus, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor or a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor, to allow a user to control various OSD functions of the displaying apparatus. Typically, the OSD controller unit is disposed in a space between a front cover and a rear cover of the LCD monitor. Since the LCD monitor is minimized in size and in thickness, the space for installing the OSD controller unit within the LCD monitor becomes smaller and narrower, and the OSD controller unit is required to be compact and slim to be mounted within the limited space of the LCD monitor. The conventional OSD controller unit, however, is disadvantageous due to the large number of bulky components compared to the narrow and small space between the front cover and the rear cover. 
     The LCD monitor mounted with the conventional OSD controller unit is shown in FIGS. 5 through 8. The LCD monitor includes a cover casing  101  defining an outer appearance of the LCD monitor, an LCD panel  103  mounted within cover casing  101  for displaying a visual image thereon, and a stand member  105  supporting a lower part of cover casing  101 . 
     Cover casing  101  includes a front cover  111 , a rear cover  113  coupled to a rear side of front cover  111 , and a space formed between front cover  111  and rear cover  113  for accommodating therein LCD panel  103 . Front cover  111  is formed with an opening  121  through which a screen of LCD panel  103  displaying the visual image is exposed to an outside of the LCD monitor. 
     In FIG. 6, rear cover  113  is formed with air inlet slots  125  through which outdoor air flows into an inside of cover casing  101 , and a terminal receptacle  127  providing a passage for a variety of peripherals and connection wires. Within cover casing  101  are mounted a panel bracket  115  supporting LCD panel  103 , a main printed circuit board (PCB) assembly  117  transmitting electric signals, such as video signals for the visual images, to LCD panel  103 , and a main PCB cover  119  protecting main PCB assembly  117 . 
     Panel bracket  115  is coupled to front cover  111  to enclose four circumferential sides and a rear side of LCD panel  103  and to support LCD panel  103 . Main PCB assembly  117  is coupled to a rear surface of panel bracket  115 , and main PCB cover  119  is coupled to panel bracket  115  to enclose main PCB assembly  117 . 
     The LCD monitor is provided with an OSD controller unit  130  allowing the user to control the OSD functions, such as brightness, size, and position of the screen of LCD panel  103  and to adjust color and vividness of the visual images, etc. On a lower portion of cover casing  101  is provided an OSD controller coupler  140  formed on an inner side of front cover  111  and coupled to OSD controller unit  130 . 
     OSD controller coupler  140  includes a plurality of knob passing holes  141  and a screw-coupling boss  143  which are formed on a lower portion of front cover  111  below opening  121 , and screw-coupling boss  143  protrudes from an inner side of front cover  111  adjacent to knob passing hole  141  toward rear cover  113 . A thread is formed on a circumferential inner surface of screw-coupling boss  143 . 
     OSD controller unit  130 , as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, includes a knob assembly  131  coupled to OSD controller coupler  140  and an OSD PCB assembly  135  coupled to a rear side of knob assembly  131 . Knob assembly  131  includes a knob support frame  145  having a rectangular shape with predetermined width and length, a boss inserting hole  147  formed on knob support frame  145  corresponding to screw-coupling boss  143  to allow screw-coupling boss  143  to be inserted into boss inserting hole  147 , and a plurality of press knobs  133  integrally formed on knob support frame  145  so as to be elastically supported by knob support frame  145 . 
     Knob assembly  131  is assembled to front cover  111  when screw-coupling boss  143  of OSD controller coupler  140  is inserted into boss inserting hole  147  of knob assembly  131 . When knob assembly  131  is coupled to OSD controller coupler  140 , press knob  133  is inserted into knob passing hole  141  of OSD controller coupler  140  and protrudes from a front outer surface of front cover  111 . 
     OSD PCB assembly  135  includes an OSD PCB  151  on which conductors are printed, a plurality of switches  153  (FIG. 8) provided lengthwise on a peripheral surface of OSD PCB  151  and in contact with the press knob  133 , and a connection cable  155  extending from OSD PCB  151  so as to be coupled to main PCB assembly  117  for transmitting signals from OSD PCB  151  to main PCB assembly  117 . 
     OSD PCB  151  and knob supporting frame  145  are the same in size and shape. A screw passing hole  152  (see FIG. 7) is formed on OSD PCB  151  in correspondence to screw-coupling boss  143 . OSD PCB assembly  135  is assembled into knob assembly  131  by a screw  156  which passes through screw passing hole  152  so as to be coupled to a free end of screw-coupling boss  143  which passes through boss inserting hole  147  in knob support frame  145 . 
     OSD PCB  151  is disposed perpendicular to a direction in which press knobs  133  move to contact respective switches  153  mounted on OSD PCB  151  (see FIG.  6 ). Because OSD PCB  151  is disposed parallel to front cover  111 , LCD panel  103 , and knob supporting frame  145 , front cover  111  of the LCD monitor is required to have a height B large enough to provide room for OSD PCB  151  and knob support frame  145 . Moreover, LCD panel  103  is disposed spaced-apart from a bottom of cover case  101  by the height B since the LCD monitor needs to provide a large volume of space for OSD controller unit  130 . 
     OSD controller unit  130  is provided with a ground wire  160  for protecting the displaying apparatus from being damaged due to static electricity transmitted from the outside of the displaying apparatus through knob passing hole  141  as shown in FIG.  8 . Ground wire  160  connects OSD PCB  151  of OSD controller coupler  130  to panel bracket  115  which functions as a ground. With this configuration, the static electricity transmitted from the outside of the displaying apparatus is discharged to panel bracket  115  through ground wire  160 . 
     The conventional displaying apparatus, however, is required to provide a space corresponding to a height of knob supporting frame  145  and OSD PCB  151  for securing knob supporting frame  145  and OSD PCB  151  to the lower portion of front cover  111 , since OSD PCB  151  of OSD PCB assembly  135  is coupled to knob supporting frame  145  in parallel and coupled to front cover  111  in perpendicular to the direction of movement of press knob  133 . 
     Accordingly, it is disadvantageous to the outer appearance and the size of the displaying apparatus since the lower portion of the front cover  111  has a width greater than the height B of the knob supporting frame  145  and the OSD PCB assembly  135 , as shown in FIGS. 5 thru  8 . Moreover, when the OSD controller coupler  140  is assembled, the knob assembly  131  and the OSD PCB assembly  135  need to be manually coupled to the OSD controller  140  coupler by screws. Furthermore, the ground wire  160  is prepared additionally and connected between the OSD PCB assembly  135  and the panel bracket  115  by screws. Therefore, the number of complicated components increases, and the manufacturing cost of the conventional displaying apparatus increases due to the complicated manufacturing process. 
     It is an object of the invention to provide an improved OSD controller assembly mounted in a displaying apparatus. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is an object to provide an improved OSD controller assembly mounted in a displaying apparatus. 
     It is another object to provide an OSD controller assembly able to reduce the number of components. 
     It is still another object to provide an OSD controller assembly able to reduce the height of a peripheral portion of a front cover of the displaying apparatus. 
     It is yet another object to provide an OSD controller assembly able to be assembled into a slim displaying apparatus with a simplified process. 
     It is still yet another object to provide an OSD controller assembly occupying a reduced space within a displaying apparatus. 
     It is also an object to provide an OSD controller assembly able to make a displaying apparatus slim and compact. 
     It is a further object to provide an OSD controller assembly formed with a terminal contacting a ground without a ground wire when assembled. 
     These and other objects of the present invention may be achieved by providing a displaying apparatus mounted with an improved OSD controller assembly. The displaying apparatus includes an LCD panel, a front cover disposed in front of the LCD panel, at least one press knob formed along the circumference thereof, a panel bracket coupled to the front cover on a rear side of the LCD panel and supporting the LCD panel, and an OSD controller assembly mounted between the front cover and the LCD panel and having a support bracket made in a monolithic structure. 
     The support bracket includes a coupling member, a knob support extending from the coupling member, and an OSD PCB support extending from another end of the coupling member. The coupling member is coupled to any one of the front cover, the LCD panel, and the panel bracket when inserted between the front cover and the LCD panel. The knob support supports the press knob. The OSD PCB support supports a PCB unit including an OSD printed circuit board (PCB) which is disposed along a bottom side of the LCD panel, perpendicular to the front cover, and parallel to the direction of movement of the press knob contacting a corresponding switch mounted on the OSD PCB. 
     The coupling member of the support bracket is in the shape of an “∩”, both ends of which are elastically inserted between the front cover and the LCD panel and biased outwardly. The knob support and the PCB support are formed on both elastically outwardly biased ends of the coupling member, thereby allowing a support bracket to be fixed between the front cover and the LCD panel without a screw, etc. 
     The OSD PCB support includes a pair of holders extending from one elongated end of the coupling member and, alternatively, formed along the one elongated end of the coupling member. The holders are spaced-apart from each other and inwardly biased to support and hold the OSD PCB when receiving a peripheral portion of the OSD PCB. The PCB is disposed horizontally along, and parallel with, the bottom side of the LCD panel. 
     A ground terminal is formed between the OSD PCB support and the coupling member, and is disposed to contact the panel bracket, thereby preventing the displaying apparatus from being damaged due to static electricity transmitted from the outside of the displaying apparatus without coupling an additional and separate ground wire between the OSD PCB and the panel bracket. The OSD PCB support holds an insulation area of the PCB, thereby preventing the OSD PCB from being damaged due to the static electricity. 
     The support bracket is press-molded from a single metal plate. After the knob support and the OSD PCB support are formed on respective opposite ends of the support bracket, the support bracket is bent about a central line disposed between the knob support and the OSD PCB support to form the coupling member having the “∩” shape. The support bracket is inserted between the LCD panel and the front cover after the knobs are held by the knob support. The OSD PCB is inserted into the OSD PCB support so as to be disposed parallel to the direction of movement of the knob. Preferably, a plurality of knobs is provided along the lower circumference of the front cover, and the switches are disposed in corresponding positions so as to be in contact with, and activated by, the press knob.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a displaying apparatus, such as a liquid crystal display device (LCD) monitor, mounted with an on screen display (OSD) controller assembly. The displaying apparatus includes a cover casing  1  defining an outer appearance of the displaying apparatus, an LCD panel  3  enclosed in cover casing  1  and displaying a visual image thereon, and a stand  5  supporting a lower part of cover casing  1 . 
     Cover casing  1  includes a front cover  11  and a rear cover  13  coupled to a rear side of front cover  11  for forming a space between front cover  11  and rear cover  13  for accommodating LCD panel  3  therein. Front cover  11  is formed with an opening  21  through which a display screen of a front surface of LCD panel  3  displaying the visual image is exposed to the outside of cover casing  1  of the displaying apparatus. A peripheral side is formed around opening  21  of front cover  11 . 
     A knob passing hole  23  is formed on the peripheral side of front cover  11  below opening  21  as shown in FIG. 2. A plurality of press knobs  33  is inserted into knob passing hole  23  so as to be exposed from front cover  11 . Rear cover  13  is formed with air inlet slots  25  through which outdoor air flows into an inside of cover casing  1 , and a terminal receptacle  27  providing a passage for a variety of peripherals and connection wires. 
     A panel bracket  15  is coupled to front cover  11  to support LCD panel  3 . A main PCB unit  17  is disposed between panel bracket  15  and a main PCB cover  19  to be coupled to LCD panel  3  to transmit electronic signals to LCD panel  3 . Panel bracket  15  encloses cylindrical and rectangular outer circumferential sides and a rear surface of LCD panel  3  for supporting LCD panel  3 . Main PCB unit  17  is coupled to a rear surface of panel bracket  15 , and main PCB cover  19  is coupled to panel bracket  15  to enclose main PCB unit  17 . 
     OSD controller assembly  30  is disposed between the peripheral side of front cover  11  disposed below opening  21  and a front surface of LCD panel  3  facing the peripheral side of front cover  11 . OSD controller assembly  30  includes a support bracket  31  having a coupling member  41 , a knob support  43 , and an OSD PCB support  45  as shown in FIG.  3 . Knob support  43  is formed on one end of coupling member  41  while OSD PCB support  45  is formed on another end of coupling member  41  opposite to knob support  43 . A plurality of press knobs  33  is coupled to a knob support  43  of support bracket  31 , and knobs  33  have a front edge thereof exposed to the outside of the displaying apparatus through knob passing hole  23  of front cover  11 , while an OSD PCB unit  35  is coupled to OSD PCB support  45  of support bracket  31 . 
     Coupling member  41  having a ∩ shape is disposed between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3  so as to be coupled to front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  as shown in FIGS. 3,  4 A, and  4 B. Both ends of coupling member  41  are spaced-apart from each other and biased outwardly. When coupling member  41  is inserted between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3 , support bracket  31  is fixed to front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  by the outwardly biased elastic force of both ends of coupling member  41 . 
     Knob support  43  extends from one end of coupling member  41  in a direction parallel to the peripheral side of front cover  11 , and is disposed adjacent to an inner side of knob passing hole  23  formed on the peripheral side of front cover  11 , while OSD PCB support  45  extends from another opposite end of coupling member  41  in a direction perpendicular to the peripheral side of front cover  11  and is spaced-apart from knob support  43  by a predetermined distance. 
     Both ends of coupling member  41  are biased outwardly and elastically expanded toward front cover  11  and LCD panel  3 , respectively. Coupling member  41  may be coupled to front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  or panel bracket  15  by means of a screw or a hook. However, as described above, coupling member  41  is fixed to front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  due to the inherent elastic force of both ends of coupling member  41 . Because any additional and separate coupling means, such as a screw, etc., is not necessary, the structure of OSD controller assembly becomes compact and slim, and the assembling process becomes simplified. 
     In FIG. 4B, a projection  95  is formed on a rear surface of the peripheral side of front cover  11  facing the front surface of LCD panel  3 . A hole  42  is formed on coupling member  41  of support bracket  31 . Projection  95  is inserted into hole  42  when coupling member  41  is inserted between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3 . 
     Knob support  43  (FIG. 4A) extends downward from one end of coupling member  41 . A plurality of elastic extensions  48  extend from knob support  43  and elastically support press knobs  33 . A knob coupling hole  49  is formed on each extension  48 . Each front end of press knobs  33  is movably inserted into knob passing hole  23  while each rear end of press knobs  33  is coupled to respective knob coupling holes  49  of elastic extensions  48  of knob support  43 . 
     A terminal portion  47  is formed between another end of coupling member  41  and PCB support  45 , and is inclined with respect to both LCD panel  3  and a plane passing another end of coupling member  41  in order to contact panel bracket  15  when coupling member  41  is inserted between front cover  11  and LCD panel  3 . The static electricity transmitted to support bracket  31  is discharged to panel bracket  15  through terminal portion  47  of support bracket  31 . 
     OSD PCB support  45  extending from terminal portion  47  includes a pair of upper and lower holders horizontally alternatively formed along an elongated end of terminal portion  47 . The holders are spaced-apart from each other by a predetermined distance, which is less than the thickness of OSD PCB  51 , opened toward OSD PCB  51 , and biased inwardly. When OSD PCB  51  is inserted between the holders of OSD PCB support  45 , the holders elastically hold and support OSD PCB  51  in a horizontal direction because the holders are biased inwardly. A protrusion  46  vertically formed on an end portion of one of the lower and upper holders of OSD PCB support  45  is inserted into a groove  57  formed on OSD PCB  51  for preventing PCB assembly  35  from being detached from the holders of support bracket  31  of OSD controller assembly  30  when OSD PCB  51  is inserted between the holders of PCB support  45 . 
     Terminal portion  47 , formed between coupling member  41  and OSD PCB support  45 , contacts panel bracket  15  by the elastic force of coupling member  41  when coupling member  41  is inserted between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3 . Static electricity is discharged to panel bracket  15 , which functions as a ground. With this configuration, there is no need to provide the additional ground wire of FIG. 8 to couple coupling member  41  to panel bracket  15  for preventing OSD PCB  51  from being damaged. 
     Support bracket  31  is press-molded from a single metal plate. After knob support  43  and OSD PCB support  45  are formed on respective opposite ends of the metal plate, the metal plate is bent to form the U shaped coupling member  41  of support bracket  31 . Knob support  43  and OSD PCB support  45  are separated from each other and spaced-apart from each other. Both ends of coupling member  41  are spaced-apart from each other by a predetermined distance greater than a distance between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3 . Holders of OSD PCB support  45  are disposed below a bottom of cylindrical rectangular sides of LCD panel  3 , and OSD PCB  51  is disposed below and parallel to the bottom of LCD panel  3 . OSD PCB  51  is coupled to the holders of OSD PCB support  45  of support bracket  31  in a direction parallel to a bottom of circumferential cylindrical sides of LCD panel  3  and perpendicular to the peripheral side of front cover  11  and the front surface of LCD panel  3 . 
     A plurality of switches  53  is provided lengthwise in front of OSD PCB  51  and along an elongated end of OSD PCB  51  parallel to the peripheral side of front cover  11 , and are spaced-apart from each other. Switches  53  are disposed to contact press knobs  33  when press knobs  33  move in a direction parallel to OSD PCB  51 . A connection cable  55  for transmitting signals between switches  53  and main PCB unit  17  is coupled between OSD PCB  51  and main PCB unit  17 . 
     Since OSD PCB  51  of OSD PCB unit  35  is horizontally supported in OSD PCB support  45  of support bracket  31 , OSD PCB  51  is disposed along and parallel to a bottom side of the cylindrical and rectangular circumferential sides side of LCD panel  3 , is disposed perpendicular to both front cover  11  and knob support  43 , and is parallel to the direction in which press knobs  33  move to contact respective switches  53  of OSD PCB  51 . Switches  53  are provided in a front lower face of OSD PCB  51  so as to be activated by the rear end of press knobs  33 , thereby generating the signals to be transmitted from OSD PCB  51  to main PCB unit  17  through connection cable  55 . 
     Since OSD PCB  51  of OSD PCB unit  35  is horizontally held by support bracket  31  in the lower portion of front cover  11 , switches  53  are in contact with respective press knobs  31  arranged in front of OSD PCB  51 . Therefore, the space for installing OSD PCB unit  35  is reduced. The lower portion of the peripheral side of the front cover  11 , indicated by “A” in FIGS. 1 thru  4  is minimized in width and less than the length B, as indicated in FIG. 8, thereby making an outer appearance of the displaying apparatus slim and compact in design. 
     An insulation area of OSD PCB  51  is held in OSD PCB support  45 , thereby preventing OSD PCB unit  35  from being damaged due to static electricity transmitted from the outside of the displaying apparatus. Any non-insulation area of the printed conductor section of OSD PCB  51  does not contact OSD PCB support  45  while the insulation area contacts OSD PCB support  45 . 
     When the protrusions  46  are inserted into respective grooves  57 , OSD PCB  51  is prevented from being detached from OSD PCB support  45  in a direction parallel to the main surface of OSD PCB  51 . Moreover, OSD PCB  51  is prevented from being detached from OSD PCB support  45  in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction when holders of OSD PCB support  45  support OSD PCB  51 . Thus, when the user operates switches  53  through press knob  33 , the coupling between protrusions  46  and grooves  57  prevents OSD PCB unit  35  from being detached from OSD PCB support  45  in the horizontal direction while OSD PCB unit  35  is prevented from being detached in the vertical direction because of the holders. The assembling process of OSD controller assembly is completed. 
     The assembling process of the displaying apparatus and OSD controller assembly is described as follows. The rear ends of press knobs  33  are inserted into knob coupling holes  49  of extensions  48  while the front ends of press knobs  33  are exposed to the outside of front cover  11  through knob passing hole  23 . Coupling member  41  of support bracket  31  is inserted between front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  after press knobs  33  are coupled to respective knob coupling holes  49  and inserted into knob passing hole  23 . 
     After panel bracket  15  is coupled to the rear side of front cover  11  so as to enclose LCD panel  3 , coupling member  41  of support bracket  31  is inserted between the peripheral side of front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  so as to securely couple support bracket  31  to both front cover  11  and LCD panel  3 . Since both ends of coupling member  41  are biased outward and expanded toward front cover  11  and LCD panel  3 , respectively, coupling member  41  is fixedly coupled between front cover  11  and LCD panel  3  by the elastic force of coupling member  41 . Terminal portion  47 , extending outwardly from another end of coupling member  41 , contacts panel bracket  15  due to the outward elastic force of coupling member  41 . 
     The front insulation area formed on OSD PCB  51  is inserted between holders of OSD PCB support  45  of support bracket  31 . OSD PCB  51  is held in OSD PCB support  45  in the horizontal direction, and at the same time, protrusions  46  are inserted into respective grooves  57 . Thus, OSD PCB  51  is securely supported in the horizontal direction parallel to OSD PCB support  45 , and simultaneously switches  53  mounted on OSD PCB  51  are disposed to contact the rear end of respective press knobs  33 . 
     After OSD controller assembly  30  is assembled, main PCB unit  17  is coupled to the rear surface of panel bracket  15 , and connection cable  55  coupled to OSD PCB unit  35  of OSD controller assembly  30  is connected to main PCB unit  17 . Main PCB cover  19  is coupled to the rear surface of panel bracket  15  to enclose main PCB unit  17 , and then, rear cover  13  is coupled to front cover  11 . The assembling of the displaying apparatus is completed. 
     As mentioned above, the support bracket  31  supports the press knobs  33  and the OSD PCB units while the coupling member  41  of the support bracket  31  is disposed between the front cover  11  and the LCD panel  3  of the displaying apparatus, thereby minimizing the installation space for the OSD controller assembly. With this configuration, the outer appearance of the displaying apparatus becomes slim and compact in design. 
     Since the press knobs  33  and the OSD PCB unit  35  are easily coupled to the support bracket  31  while the coupling member  41  of the support bracket  31  is coupled between the front cover  11  and the LCD panel  3 , the OSD controller assembly can be simply manufactured without using an additional and separate coupling means, such as screws, etc. 
     Since the inclined portion as a ground terminal or terminal portion  47  is formed between the coupling member  41  and the OSD PCB support  45  to elastically contact the panel bracket  15 , there is no need to prepare an additional ground wire. Therefore, the number of components for the ground is reduced, and the assembling process is simplified. 
     As described above, there is provided a displaying apparatus having a slim and compact appearance and manufactured with a simplified assembling process owing to reduction in the number of parts. 
     Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
