Liquid crystal display with display screen extending out of casing

Abstract

An exemplary liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a casing and a liquid crystal panel accommodated in the casing. The casing includes a frame and a window surrounded by an inner side of the frame. The liquid crystal panel includes an outside surface essentially serving as a display screen for displaying images and a peripheral wall. The liquid crystal panel is attached to the frame, with the inner side of the frame contacting the peripheral wall of the liquid crystal panel, and the display screen exposed outside of the casing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
 a liquid crystal panel comprising a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to the first substrate, wherein the first substrate has a display surface;   a conductive adhesive electrically connecting the first substrate and the second substrate; and   a frame capable of mounting the liquid crystal panel and having a side wall surrounding the liquid crystal panel, wherein a plurality of grooves are formed on a top surface of the frame and corresponding to the conductive adhesive;   wherein the second substrate is lower than the top surface of the frame.   
     
     
         2 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second substrate has a surface facing the first substrate, and the top surface of the frame is arranged at a higher elevation than the surface of the second substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the display surface is arranged at a higher elevation than the side wall of the frame. 
     
     
         4 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the grooves goes through the frame. 
     
     
         5 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the grooves goes through along a direction substantially perpendicular to the display surface. 
     
     
         6 . A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
 a liquid crystal panel having a display surface and a peripheral wall, and comprising a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to the first substrate;   a conductive adhesive electrically connecting the first substrate and the second substrate; and   a frame capable of mounting the liquid crystal panel and having a side wall surrounding the liquid crystal panel, wherein a plurality of grooves is formed on the side wall and corresponding to the conductive adhesive, and the grooves expose the peripheral wall of the liquid crystal panel.   
     
     
         7 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the display surface is arranged at a higher elevation than the side wall of the frame abutting the peripheral wall of the liquid crystal panel. 
     
     
         8 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the side wall has a top surface facing a direction substantially the same as the display surface, and the grooves are formed on the top surface. 
     
     
         9 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the top surface is arranged at a higher elevation than the display surface. 
     
     
         10 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the grooves goes through an entire transverse width of the frame. 
     
     
         11 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the second substrate has a surface facing a direction substantially the same as the display surface and covered by the first substrate. 
     
     
         12 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the conductive adhesive is provided in a form of discrete beads, and each of the discrete beads is corresponding to at least one of the grooves. 
     
     
         13 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the grooves defines a trapezium profile. 
     
     
         14 . The LCD as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the grooves defines a rectangular profile.
