  • Patent number: 8333498
    Abstract: A back bezel assembly is provided. The back bezel assembly includes a frame and a metal shielding board. The frame is formed with at least one hollow portion. By forming at least one hollow portion, the frame is not formed with at least one first portion with the same material of the frame, wherein the at least one first portion has a first weight. The metal shielding board has a second weight, which is less than the first weight. The metal shielding board is fixed to the frame and covers at least one portion of the at least one hollow portion correspondingly. With the configuration of the back bezel assembly, the display adopting the back bezel assembly is lightweight and provided with the shielding effect of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).

  • Publication number: 20110096268
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a bezel, a lamp tube for generating light in response to a driving signal, and a lamp socket disposed on the bezel for holding the lamp tube. The lamp tube includes a lamp body and a connecting terminal. The lamp socket includes a lamp holder and a conductive element. The lamp holder includes an accommodating space for accommodating part of the lamp body and the connecting terminal of the lamp tube. The conductive element includes a first connector having a pair of attaching members on the top of the conductive element, and a second connector for electrically connected to the inverter. The attaching members contact the connecting terminal so as to form a path to deliver driving signal from the inverter to the connecting terminal of the lamp tube through the conductive element. Part of the conductive element is enclosed and is secured by the lamp holder.
