In the present embodiment, the main body of the mounting body 140 is composed of a metal frame. Each guide part 141-144 is comprised by the resin protrusion integrally formed with the main body of the mounting body 140 by resin molding. In addition, the structure of the mounting body 140 is not limited to these structures, The structure by which the main body of the mounting body 140 and each guide part 141-144 were integrally formed with the same raw material (for example, synthetic resin) may be employ | adopted. .

  2 is a cross-sectional view of the present embodiment before the mounting body 140 is mounted, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view after the mounting. The lighting unit 110 is accommodated in the panel support 130. Here, an optical sheet 115 is disposed on the light guide plate 112 as necessary. The electro-optical panel 120 is disposed on the support frame 132 of the panel support 130 that houses the illumination unit 110. Here, the electro-optical panel 120 may be bonded to the support surface 132 a of the support frame 132 via the double-sided adhesive tape 133. However, if the electro-optical panel 120 is strictly fixed, the displacement cannot be corrected. Therefore, the electro-optical panel 120 needs to have an adhesive layer that can move in the plane direction.

Next, the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130 from above. At this time, the side wall 140K, the side wall 140L, the side wall 140M, and the side wall 140N of the mounting body 140 are inserted between the peripheral wall 131S of the lower frame 131 and the support frame 132, as shown in FIG.

In addition, in the mounting body 140, the inner space between the guide portion 141 and the guide portion 142 on the top plate portion 140R side is set to H2. Further, the inner space between the guide portion 141 and the guide portion 142 on the front end (end portion on the electro-optical panel 120 side) side is set to H3. These intervals H1, H2, and H3 satisfy the relationship of the following formula (1).
H3>H1> H2 (1)
The above relationship is also satisfied between the pair of guide portions 143 and 144 and the outer edges 120M and 120N.

Due to the above relationship, in the process of mounting the mounting body 140 on the panel support 130, the guide portions 141 and 142 abut on the outer edges 120K and 120L, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the guide portions 143 and 144 abut on the outer edges 120M and 120N in the mounting process.
For this reason, the position of the electro-optical panel 120 in the planar direction can be corrected by an external force received from each of the guide portions 141 to 144. Here, each guide part 141-144 has the rigidity which can contact | abut each outer edge 120K, 120L, 120M, 120N of the electro-optical panel 120, and can correct the planar position.

  Depending on the initial planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 and the distance between the pair of guide portions 141 and 142, the planar position may be corrected by contacting only one of the pair of guide portions 141 and 142. obtain. Here, the intervals H2 and H3 and the inclination angles of the inclined surfaces 141a and 142a are determined according to the allowable width of the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120, the size and height variations of both outer edges of the electro-optical panel 120, and the like. Is done.

The engaging portion 140t engages with the engaging hole 131t as shown in FIG. Thereby, mounting | wearing of the mounting body 140 with respect to the panel support body 130 is completed.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the lower frame 131, the inner space between the surrounding walls 131S facing each other with the electro-optical panel 120 interposed therebetween is set to H4. Further, in the mounting body 140, the interval between the engaging portions 140t facing each other is set to H5. These intervals H4 and H5 satisfy the relationship of the following formula (2).
H5> H4 (2)
Due to the above relationship, the engaging portion 140t and the engaging hole 131t can be engaged.

  In the present embodiment, the inner space between the pair of guide portions 141 and 142 is shortened from the tip side toward the top plate portion 140R.

  In the present embodiment, after the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support body 130, the guide portions 141 to 144 are in contact with the electro-optical panel 120 as shown in FIG. Here, each guide part 141-144 is comprised with the raw material which is easy to elastically deform. For this reason, even if each guide part 141-144 contact | abuts the electro-optical panel 120 after the mounting body 140 is mounted | worn with the panel support body 130, it is low that an excessive stress and distortion arise in the electro-optical panel 120. Can be suppressed. In FIG. 3, the shape of each guide portion 141 and 142 before elastic deformation is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  In the present embodiment, when the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support body 130, the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 is corrected from both the outer edge 120 </ b> K side and the outer edge 120 </ b> L side by the pair of guide portions 141 and 142. Similarly, the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 is corrected from both sides of the outer edge 120M side and the outer edge 120N side by the pair of guide portions 143 and 144. For this reason, even if there is a dimensional error in the electro-optical panel 120, the positional shift of the display area 120A with respect to the display window 140a can be made smaller than this dimensional error. As a result, the positioning accuracy of the electro-optical panel 120 can be easily improved.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the electro-optical panel 120 and the panel support 130 (support frame 132) are bonded via the double-sided adhesive tape 133 is employed. However, the electro-optical panel 120 and the panel support are used. The configuration of 130 is not limited to this. As a configuration of the electro-optical panel 120 and the panel support 130, a configuration in which the double-sided adhesive tape 133 is omitted may be employed. In addition, a configuration in which the support frame 132 is movable in the plane direction with respect to the lower frame 131 may be employed.

  According to these configurations, the position of the electro-optical panel 120 with respect to the lower frame 131 can be changed with a slight external force. For this reason, when the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130, the external force that the electro-optical panel 120 receives from each of the guide portions 141 to 144 can be suppressed low. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the electro-optical panel 120 from being damaged by the guide portions 141 to 144. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy of the electro-optical panel 120 can be further improved.

  In these configurations as well, the guides 141 to 144 and the electro-optical panel 120 are kept in contact after the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130. For this reason, the holding force of the electro-optical panel 120 in the electro-optical device 100 is ensured. However, the configuration in which the electro-optical panel 120 and the panel support 130 are bonded via the double-sided adhesive tape 133 is preferable in that the holding power of the electro-optical panel 120 in the electro-optical device 100 can be increased.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which each guide portion 141 to 144 abuts each outer edge 120K, 120L, 120M, 120N of the electro-optical panel 120. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration in which another member is interposed between each guide portion 141 to 144 and each outer edge 120K, 120L, 120M, 120N may be employed. In this case, when the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130, the guide portions 141 to 144 are configured to guide the outer edges 120K, 120L, 120M, and 120N of the electro-optical panel 120 as a result. That's fine. As another member, for example, a frame material that covers the outer peripheral portion of the electro-optical panel 120, a buffer material provided between the electro-optical panel 120 and each of the guide portions 141 to 144, or a display area 120A of the electro-optical panel 120 For example, a cover glass may be used to protect the screen. This also applies to other embodiments described later.

For example, when another member is a cover glass, each guide part 141-144 is the outer edge of the cover glass 301, as shown to FIG. It abuts on 301K.
For example, when another member is a buffer material, each guide part 141-144 is the buffer material 303 as shown in FIG.4 (b) which is an enlarged view of the site | part corresponded to the A section in FIG. Abut. The contact portion 303T of the cushioning material 303 is deformed by an external force received from each of the guide portions 141 to 144. The buffer material 303 is provided outside the display area 120 </ b> A of the electro-optical panel 120. For this reason, the image displayed on the display area 120 </ b> A can be visually recognized without being obstructed by the buffer material 303.
In the present embodiment, the buffer material 303 is provided outside the polarizing plate 126. For this reason, it can avoid that the buffer material 303 and the polarizing plate 126 overlap. Thereby, the thickness of the electro-optical device 100 can be easily reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, at least in the process in which the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support body 130, each of the guide portions 141 to 144 may abut on the electro-optical panel 120 or the above member. Accordingly, the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 can be regulated in the process in which the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130. Accordingly, after the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130 as in other embodiments described later, the guide portions 141 to 144 and the electro-optical panel 120 (or the above-described members, the same applies hereinafter) are brought into contact with each other. Instead, a spaced configuration may be employed.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a guide part 241 is adopted instead of the guide part 141 in the first embodiment, and a guide part 242 is adopted instead of the guide part 142. Further, although not shown, a guide unit 243 is employed instead of the guide unit 143 in the first embodiment, and a guide unit 244 is employed instead of the guide unit 144.
Except for these points, the electro-optical device 100 of the second embodiment has the same configuration as the electro-optical device 100 of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each guide portion 241 to 244 is formed inside the side wall 140K, the side wall 140L, the side wall 140M, and the side wall 140N of the mounting body 140. Each guide portion 241 to 244 is fixed from the inner surface of the top plate portion 140R of the mounting body 140 to the inner surfaces of the side wall 140K, the side wall 140L, the side wall 140M, and the side wall 140N. For this reason, each guide part 241 to 244 has increased rigidity compared to each guide part 141 to 144 in the first embodiment. In addition, inclined surfaces 241a, 242a, 243a, and 244a similar to those in the first embodiment are formed in the respective guide portions 241 to 244. Moreover, each guide part 241-244 has a ridgeline 245. Further, each guide portion 241 to 244 is similar to the first embodiment in that the thickness is gradually reduced from the top plate portion 140R side (upper side in the drawing) toward the front end side (lower side in the drawing). is there.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support body 130, the guide portions 241 and 242 come into contact with the outer edges 120 </ b> K and 120 </ b> L of the electro-optical panel 120, The planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 is restricted. At this time, the engaging portions 140t of the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L of the mounting body 140 are pressed inward by the peripheral wall 131S of the lower frame 131, and the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L are elastically deformed inward. For this reason, each guide part 241,242 formed in the inner surface of the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L is displaced inward with elastic deformation of the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L. At this time, the outer edges 120 </ b> K and 120 </ b> L of the electro-optical panel 120 are pressed inward by the pair of guide portions 241 and 242. At this time, the lower end portions of the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L may be guided by the outer peripheral surface of the support frame 132 as illustrated.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 5, when the engaging portion 140t is engaged with the engaging hole 131t, at least a part of the elastic deformation of the side wall 140K and the side wall 140L is restored, and the guide portions 241 and 242 are not so small. There is a displacement to the outside.

  In the second embodiment, the guide portions 241 and 242 are temporarily displaced inward when the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support 130. For this reason, the outer edges 120 </ b> K and 120 </ b> L of the electro-optical panel 120 are guided by the pair of guide portions 241 and 242. Thereby, the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 can be regulated. Then, since the positions of the guide portions 241 and 242 return to the outside after the mounting is completed, the possibility that the guide portions 241 and 242 give excessive stress or distortion to the electro-optical panel 120 can be reduced.

  In the second embodiment, in a state where the mounting body 140 is mounted on the panel support body 130, the guide portions 241 and 242 contact the outer edges 120K and 120L of the electro-optical panel 120 as shown in FIG. It touches. However, even if the guide portions 241 and 242 are in contact with the outer edges 120K and 120L, the guide portions 241 and 242 that are displaced inward during the mounting process return to the outside after the mounting is completed, so that the stress and strain can be reduced. There is no change.

  In addition, as the support frame 132, the structure of the frame shape (rectangular frame shape) opened up and down can also be employ | adopted. In addition, a configuration in which the lower frame 131 and the support frame 132 are integrally formed of the same material may be employed. Furthermore, a configuration in which the lower frame 131 and the support frame 132 are integrated with different materials by insert molding or the like may be employed. In the present embodiment, the support frame 132 is positioned in at least the plane direction by being inserted into the lower frame 131. However, the support frame 132 may be disposed in the lower frame 131 so as to be movable in the plane direction.

[Third Embodiment]
A third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a mounting body 240 is employed instead of the mounting body 140 in the second embodiment, and a panel support body 230 is employed instead of the panel support body 130.
Except for these points, the electro-optical device 100 of the third embodiment has the same configuration as the electro-optical device 100 of the second embodiment. Therefore, in the following, the same parts as those in the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower frame 231 and the main body of the mounting body 240 are each composed of a thin metal frame.
The peripheral wall 231S of the lower frame 231 has a thick portion 231T on the upper end side. The thick part 231T has a configuration in which the upper end of the peripheral wall 231S is bent inward. With this bent configuration, an engagement step 231t is formed at the lower end of the thick portion 231T. This folded structure is sometimes called hemming bending.

  The side wall 240K and the side wall 240L of the mounting body 240 have engagement pieces 240t. The engaging piece 240t has a configuration in which the lower ends of the side wall 240K and the side wall 240L are folded outward and extends obliquely upward. In addition, each guide part 241-244 is being fixed over each inner surface of the side wall 240K, the side wall 240L, the side wall 240M, and the side wall 240N from the inner surface of the top plate part 240R of the mounting body 240 as in the second embodiment. Yes. Moreover, it is the same as that of 1st and 2nd embodiment also in the point comprised so that thickness may become small gradually toward the front end side (illustration lower direction) from the top-plate part 240R side (illustration upper direction).

Here, in the lower frame 231, the inner space between the thick portions 231T facing each other with the electro-optical panel 120 interposed therebetween is set to H6. Further, the inner space between the surrounding walls 231S facing each other with the electro-optical panel 120 interposed therebetween is set to H7. These intervals H6 and H7 satisfy the relationship of the following formula (3).
H7> H6 (3)

On the other hand, in the mounting body 240, the outer space between the engaging pieces 240t facing each other is set to H8. The intervals H6 and H8 satisfy the relationship of the following formula (4).
H8> H6 (4)
Due to the above relationship, the engagement piece 240t and the engagement step 231t can be engaged.

  In the third embodiment, by inserting the side wall 240K and the side wall 240L of the mounting body 240 inside the peripheral wall 231S of the lower frame 231, the engagement piece 240t, the side wall 240K, and the side wall 240L are lowered as shown in FIG. The thick portion 231T of the frame 231 is elastically deformed inward. The guide portions 241 and 242 formed on the inner surfaces of the side wall 240K and the side wall 240L are displaced inward as the side walls 240K and 240L are elastically deformed. At this time, the guide portions 241 and 242 are in contact with the outer edges 120K and 120L of the electro-optical panel 120. As a result, the outer edges 120K and 120L of the electro-optical panel 120 are pressed inward by the pair of guide portions 241 and 242, and the planar position of the electro-optical panel 120 is restricted. At this time, the lower end portions of the side wall 240K and the side wall 240L may be guided by the outer peripheral surface of the support frame 132 as illustrated.

At this time, at least a part of the elastic deformation (FIG. 10) of the engagement piece 240t, the side wall 240K, and the side wall 240L is restored as shown in FIG. When at least a part of the elastic deformation of the side wall 240K and the side wall 240L is restored, the guide portions 241 and 242 are displaced outward. Therefore, the guide portions 241 and 242 are separated from the outer edges 120K and 120L of the electro-optical panel 120.

  In the third embodiment, after the mounting body 240 is mounted on the panel support body 230, the external force that the electro-optical panel 120 receives from the guide portions 241 and 242 is released. For this reason, there is no possibility of applying unnecessary stress or distortion to the electro-optical panel 120. However, even in this case, the ridge line 245 faces each of the outer edges 120K, 120L, 120M, and 120N of the electro-optical panel 120 via a slight gap. For this reason, the function of substantially holding the electro-optical panel 120 in the planar direction and the vertical direction is ensured.

In addition, as the support frame 132, the structure of the frame shape (rectangular frame shape) opened up and down can be employ | adopted. Further, a configuration in which the lower frame 231 and the support frame 132 are integrally formed of the same material may be employed. Furthermore, a configuration in which the lower frame 231 and the support frame 132 are integrated with different materials by insert molding or the like may be employed.
In the present embodiment, the support frame 132 is positioned in at least the plane direction by being inserted into the lower frame 231. However, the support frame 132 and the lower frame 231 are not limited to this configuration, and a configuration in which the support frame 132 is arranged so as to be movable in the plane direction within the lower frame 231 may be employed.

As a configuration in which the lower frame 231 and the support frame 132 are integrated by insert molding, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. 11 is conceivable. In this configuration, the lower frame 231 has a peripheral wall 231 </ b> S sandwiched between the support frame 132 and the side wall portion 132 c. The support frame 132 and the side wall part 132c are integrally formed by insert molding.
With this configuration, the trouble of inserting the support frame 132 into the lower frame 231 can be omitted. Further, the trouble of positioning the support frame 132 with respect to the lower frame 231 can be omitted. For this reason, the manufacturing efficiency of the electro-optical device 100 can be easily improved.

In the first embodiment, one guide portion 141 has two inclined surfaces 141a. A ridge line 145 shared by these two inclined surfaces 141a contacts the electro-optical panel 120, the cover glass 301, the buffer material 303, and the like. The other guide parts 142-144 are the same.
In the second embodiment and the third embodiment, each guide 241 has two inclined surfaces 241a. A ridge line 245 shared by these two inclined surfaces 241a contacts the electro-optical panel 120, the cover glass 301, the buffer material 303, and the like.

And in 1st Embodiment, 2nd Embodiment, and 3rd Embodiment, the case where the ridgeline 145 and the ridgeline 245 are a straight line, respectively is illustrated. However, the ridge line 145 and the ridge line 245 are not limited to straight lines, and for example, as shown in FIG. The same applies to a configuration in which one guide portion 141 (241) has a single inclined surface 141a (241a). That is, in the configuration in which one guide portion 141 (241) has a single inclined surface 141a (241a), a curved surface can be applied as the single inclined surface 141a (241a).
That is, the shape of the ridge line 145 and the number of the inclined surfaces 141a and 142a are arbitrary as long as the inner distance between the pair of guide portions 141 and 142 is shortened from the tip side toward the top plate portion 140R. Can be set to The same applies to the other guide parts 143 and 144 and the guide parts 241 to 244.

  In the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment, the ridge line 145 and the ridge line 245 are inclined with respect to the mounting direction in each of the pair of guide portions 141 and 142 (241 and 242). The case where it is doing is illustrated. However, the ridgeline 145 and the ridgeline 245 are not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 13, only at least one of the pair of guide portions 141 and 142 (241 and 242) is inclined with respect to the mounting direction. Configurations can also be employed. The pair of guide portions 141 and 142 (241 and 242) is configured such that the inner space between the guide portions 141 and 142 (241 and 242) is shortened from the tip side toward the top plate portion 140R (240R) side.

Further, the side walls 140K and 140L and the side walls 240K and 240L correspond to the side walls corresponding to the pair of panel positioning guides. Further, the inner surface of the peripheral wall 131S and the inner surface of the thick portion 231T correspond to the inner wall of the panel support. Further, the engaging portion 140t and the engaging piece 240t correspond to the protruding portion.
