Patent ID: 8842233

Claim:
A liquid crystal module comprising: a rear frame; a light guide plate disposed in an interior of the rear frame, the light guide plate having a plurality of protruding components on a first end face of the light guide plate, the protruding components being spaced apart from each other in a first direction of the light guide plate and having distal end faces; a light source unit disposed along the first end face of the light guide plate, the light source unit having a wiring board and a plurality of light source elements that are disposed on the wiring board, the distal end faces of the protruding components abutting the wiring board of the light source unit, respectively, such that the first end face of the light guide plate and each of the light source elements defines a spacing therebetween; a biasing member biasing a second end face of the light guide plate toward the light source unit such that the distal end faces of the protruding components are pressed against the wiring board of the light source unit, respectively, with the second end face of the light guide plate being opposite the first end face of the light guide plate; and a molded frame provided around the rear frame, the molded frame having a side plate that faces the second end face of the light guide plate, the rear frame having drawn components on left and right side plates of the rear frame, respectively, the drawn components inwardly protruding towards left and right flat side faces of the light guide plate, respectively, to position the light guide plate in the first direction, the drawn components of the rear frame and the left and right flat side faces of the light guide plate define gaps therebetween, respectively, the biasing member including a tab portion with a protruding part, the tab portion being integrally formed on the side plate of the molded frame, the protruding part of the tab portion protruding toward the second end face of the light guide plate relative to the side plate of the molded frame such that the tab portion biases the second end face of the light guide plate toward the light source unit, the molded frame further having a hole adjacent to the tab portion.
