Patent ID: 8031316

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel; a semiconductor integrated circuit on the liquid crystal display panel; a backlight module that includes at least a light source and a light guide plate and is disposed opposing the liquid crystal display panel; a metal frame that is made of a metal and has a portion that is positioned around at least one of the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight module; a flexible printed circuit that is mounted on the liquid crystal display panel and extends as far as a position where it opposes the metal frame; a light-blocking tape that has a portion that is positioned at least between the semiconductor integrated circuit and the light source between the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight module; and an insulating tape that is made of an electrical insulator, wherein the light-blocking tape includes a light-blocking layer that has a first surface that faces the liquid crystal display panel and a second surface that faces the backlight module, a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a portion that is formed on the first surface of the light-blocking layer and pressure-sensitively adheres to the liquid crystal display panel and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a portion that is formed on the second surface of the light-blocking layer and pressure-sensitively adheres to the backlight module, and the insulating tape pressure-sensitively adheres to the first or second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer between the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight module and extends as far as between the flexible printed circuit and the metal frame.
