Patent ID: 8537302

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) assembly comprising: an LED backlight assembly comprising a mounting structure having front and rear portions, a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) having opposing front and rear surfaces and a perimeter edge portion, the PCBs being removably attached to said mounting structure, such that the PCBs can be removed from the rear portion of the mounting structure, a securing element which fastens each PCB within the mounting structure, the securing element is accessible from the rear portion of the mounting structure, a plurality of LEDs attached to each of the PCBs, conduction lines on the PCBs which establish electrical communications with each LED, an electrical connection on the front surface of each PCB which is in electrical communication with the conduction lines, and a flexible electrical conductor removably attached to and in electrical communication with each of the electrical connections; an image assembly placed in front of the LED backlight assembly; a movable element placed behind the LED backlight assembly and having at least one edge; a hinge at one edge of the movable element so that the movable element can rotate to allow access to the rear portion of the LED backlight assembly; and electrical devices attached to the movable element such that rotation of the movable element causes the electrical devices to move accordingly, where the electrical devices are also in electrical communication with the image assembly.
