Patent ID: 7417628

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a liquid crystal display panel including a display region in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed; a planar light source device having a light exit surface which faces the liquid crystal display panel and from which planar light exits toward the liquid crystal display panel, and a back surface located opposite to the light exit surface; a coordinates position detecting device which detects coordinates of a position designated on the display region; a frame which has two projections and supports the liquid crystal display panel and the planar light source, the two projections being formed integrally with the frame and extending along the back surface of the planar light source device with a distance corresponding to a thickness of the coordinates position detecting device from the planar light source device; and a circuit board which is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display panel and supplies a drive signal to the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the projections are formed to extend from a side of the frame, substantially parallel to each other; the coordinates position detecting device is interposed between projections and the planar light source device and supported by the projections; and the circuit board has an end side extending substantially parallel to the projections, and the circuit board is disposed on the back surface side of the planar light source device, arranged between the two projections, beside the projections on a plane substantially parallel to the back surface of the planar light source device, and ends thereof are fixed to the projections.
