Description

  The present invention relates to a thin television such as a thin liquid crystal television and a thin plasma television.

  A thin liquid crystal television having a display panel for displaying images on the front and having a relatively thin front and rear thickness is housed in the thin liquid crystal television main body on the rear surface of the thin liquid crystal television main body having a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. A plurality of terminals connected to the electronic components are disposed.

  In recent years, thin TVs equipped with thin display panels such as liquid crystal display panels and plasma display panels have become widespread. Also, the broadcasting system of broadcasting stations has been digitized, and BS digital broadcasting and terrestrial digital broadcasting have been started separately from terrestrial analog broadcasting. And the external devices connected to the flat-screen TV have also been digitized, and with the widespread use of DVD recorders and high-quality HDD recording / playback devices, the terminal of the flat-screen TV to which the cable is connected is an RCA pin-video input terminal, In addition to S terminal, D terminal and component terminal, HDMI terminal and i-LINK terminal corresponding to high image quality, DVI terminal connected to personal computer, recording media (SD, PC card) terminal, and digital broadcasting are viewed bi-directionally. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange a large number of terminals for input / output such as a B-CAS card, a telephone line terminal and a LAN terminal for connecting / disconnecting on the rear surface of the thin TV main body.

  Moreover, since the frequency of connection / disconnection by the user of the cable connected to the external device increases as the digitization of the external device progresses, the user can easily connect / disconnect the cable. There is a demand for such a configuration. In this case, the cable can be configured to be connected / disconnected from the back of the thin TV main body in the front-rear direction, or can be connected / disconnected from the side of the thin TV main body in the horizontal direction. It is conceivable to configure.

  However, when the cable can be connected / disconnected from the back of the thin TV main body in the front-rear direction, the cable is routed behind the terminal on the thin TV main body side, so the flat TV is moved closer to the wall. It will cause trouble. Therefore, the terminals can be juxtaposed vertically to allow connection / disconnection from the side of the flat-screen TV main body, and the cable can be connected / disconnected from the side of the flat-screen TV main body laterally. It is preferable to configure.

However, there are generally three RCA pin-video input terminals, and one RCA pin-video input terminal has a configuration in which a video pin and two left and right audio pins are arranged side by side. Therefore, all the terminals including the three RCA pin-video input terminals cannot be accommodated within the height of the flat-screen TV. Therefore, as described in Patent Document 1, input / output terminals are stacked one after the other and juxtaposed vertically, and by shortening the juxtaposition length in the vertical direction, all input / output terminals are made thin TVs. It can be considered to be within the height of.
