Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes at least one engagement structure for fixing a bezel () to a chassis (). The engagement structure includes a recessed portion () formed in a side surface () of the chassis and a pair of arms () formed in a side wall () of the bezel. The pair of arms is each cantilevered and placed such that the fixed ends () are positioned outward relative to the free ends (), respectively. The pair of arms can mutually support each other by being elastically deformed toward the chassis, and the free ends of the arms are at least partially fitted in the recessed portion of the chassis when the pair of arms is in the mutually supporting state, thus fixing the bezel to the chassis. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the width of the frame area and to automate the process of fixing the bezel.
