A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes a cover, an LCD panel, and a bezel together with the cover for sandwiching the LCD panel. The cover includes a board, a side flange extending from a side of the board, and two end flanges extending from opposite ends of the board. An orientation portion extends from a distal end of the side flange toward an opposite side of the board. A first locating portion extends from an inner surface of one end flange of the end flanges. A first hook extending from a corresponding side of the bezel has a restriction part extending up therefrom, for being located under the orientation portion of the cover. A second locating portion extending from a corresponding end of the bezel has a locating part at a distal end thereof, for being located under the first locating portion of the cover.
