Patent ID: 7911555

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a backlight assembly mounted on a back surface of the liquid crystal panel; and an upper frame which holds the liquid crystal panel while covering a periphery of a front surface of the liquid crystal panel and has a side wall extending toward a backlight side; wherein the liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate which forms thin film transistors on a main surface thereof, a second substrate which forms a light transmitting conductive layer on an outer surface thereof, and liquid crystal which is interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the backlight assembly includes a metal-made backlight lower frame which houses a light source and a light guide plate and has a side wall extending toward a liquid crystal panel side, and a backlight upper frame which is arranged on a liquid-crystal-panel side, an upper end portion of the backlight lower frame is arranged inside the backlight upper frame, the backlight lower frame is electrically connected with the light transmitting conductive layer formed on the second substrate using a conductive sheet, and the conductive sheet is connected with the light transmitting conductive layer and the backlight lower frame through an opening formed in the backlight upper frame.
