Patent ID: 8305513

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; wherein the light transmitting conductive layer formed on the second substrate and an inner surface of the upper frame are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner, and the inner surface of the upper frame and the light transmitting conductive layer are electrically connected with each other using conductive rubber; wherein the backlight assembly includes a backlight lower frame which has a first side wall extending toward a liquid crystal panel side, and a backlight upper frame which is arranged on the liquid crystal panel side, and which has a second side wall, wherein the backlight lower frame and the backlight upper frame are both comprised of a conductive material; wherein an upper end portion of the backlight lower frame is arranged inside of the backlight upper frame; and wherein the conductive rubber is sandwiched between the first side wall of the backlight lower frame and the second side wall of the backlight upper frame.
