Abstract
Abstract There are provided a noise-shield sheet which can easily add a shield layer without complicating the wiring on a circuit board and which can prevent a short-circuiting between the shield layer and the electronic part's lead and connection terminals, and a liquid crystal display device using such a noise-shield sheet. The noise-shield sheet has holes each of which permits an electric component protruding from the surface of the circuit board to be passed through the hole and is mounted on the circuit board to avoid noise. The noise-shield sheet is made up of an insulating base layer and a shield layer of electrically conductive material formed on the insulating layer. Each of the holes has a first hole formed by etching the shield layer and a second hole formed by the insulating layer within the first hole at a position separate from the edge of the shield layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a circuit board mounting electric components on the top surface thereof and an electrically conductive pattern on the opposite surface thereof; a liquid crystal display panel including a central display area and electrode terminals disposed along the sides thereof and connected to said electrically conductive pattern, said liquid crystal display panel being opposite to said circuit board; elastic conductors located and compressed between said circuit board and said liquid crystal display panel to connect said electrically conductive pattern to said electrode terminals; a lamp for radiating a light toward said liquid crystal display panel; and a light guide plate disposed between said circuit board and said liquid crystal display panel for conducting the light from said lamp toward said central display area; and wherein said light guide plate includes positioning portions for positioning said elastic conductors which are formed therein on the opposite ends, said positioning portions having a height equal to or lower than that of said compressed elastic conductors, each of said positioning portions has a protrusion extending therefrom toward said circuit board; said lamp is placed between at least one of said positioning portions and said central display area; and a noise-shield sheet is located in a space between said light guide plate and circuit board formed by said protrusions.
