Abstract
A spring memberincludes side, upper and lower platesandand a cut-out portionon its upper platefor positioning. The upper and lower platesanddefine an opening. The spring memberreceives an assembling member or bezeland a rear light unitwith the cut-out portionengaged in an upper plateof the bezeland puts them together while a liquid crystal display panelis held between the bezeland the light unit. The upper plateof the bezelhas a stepfor positioning of the spring member. Due to elasticity of the upper and lower platesandof the spring member, the bezeland the light unitare compressively held with a constant distance defined between them by the spring member. An optical sheetcovers the liquid crystal display panel uniformly. Thus, undulation or crinkles of the sheethardly take place on the side of a cold cathode fluorescent lampuneven brightness and distortion of images can be substantially avoided and display dignity is substantially improved.
