  • Patent number: 7275842
    Abstract: A backlight module including an extruded metallic carrier, a reflector sheet, a light source and a diffuser plate is provided. Of which, the extruded metallic carrier has a carrier's top-face and plural heat-dissipating tunnels with an accommodation sink being formed on the carrier's top-face; both the reflector sheet and the light source are deposited in the accommodation sink with the former being situated under the latter; the diffuser plate is situated above the light source. The extruded metallic carrier according to the invention not only maintains the overall evenness of the backlight module but also dissipates the heat outside, hence preventing the diffuser plate from being caved in and deformed due to a high temperature and improving the luminance quality of the backlight module.

  • Patent number: 7175301
    Abstract: A backlight module. The backlight module comprises first to fourth fixed seats, first and second conductive devices, and lamps. The first and second fixed seats have grooves. The first and second conductive devices have V-shaped scallops electrically connected with one another. Each V-shaped scallop is disposed in a corresponding groove. The lamps are disposed parallel to one another, each having a first and second ends respectively disposed in the grooves of the third and fourth fixed seats, for fixing the lamps. Depth and area of each V-shaped scallop both exceed a diameter of the lamp. A liquid crystal display device utilizing the backlight module is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6974221
    Abstract: A backlight assembly for a liquid crystal display panel, including a lamp housing; a lamp; a diffuser plate; and a plurality of supports. The supports each has first and second members. The first member has a body and a groove formed in the body for holding the lamp and attaching the lamp to the lamp housing. A ring-shape member may be disposed about a section of the lamp for providing cushioning between the lamp and the first member. The second member has an elongated body for supporting the diffuser plate when it attempts to sag or distort.
