Patent ID: 8755003

Claim:
A collapsible backboard for liquid crystal display device, comprising: first and second trusses each configured with an L-shaped configuration with a first elongated beam having an longitudinal end and a second short beam perpendicular to the elongated beam and having a lateral end; first and second linkages each having an elongated configuration with a first end and a second end, wherein the first linkage has its first and second ends pivotally hinged to the lateral end of the second short beam of the first truss, and the longitudinal end of the first elongated beam of the second truss, and wherein the second linkage has its first and second ends pivotally hinged to the longitudinal end of the first elongated beam of the first truss and the lateral end of the second short beam of the second truss in a way that the backboard can be switched between a first position in which the first and second trusses and the first and second linkages are fully extended, and a second position in which the first and second trusses and the first and second linkages are collapsible to each other such that; wherein a length of the second short beam is shorter than the length of the first elongated beam and the length of the first and second linkages; wherein the first and second linkages are perpendicular to the first elongated beams of the first and second trusses in the first position, and wherein the first and second linkages are in parallel to or in line with the first elongated beams of the first and second trusses in the second position, wherein at the hinged point located between lateral end of the short beam of the first truss and the first end of the first linkage, a distance between the hinged point and an inner edge of the first elongated beam is larger than or equal to a distance between the hinged point and an inner edge of the first linkage.
