  • Publication number: 20090052176
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light source module for using in a backlight module which includes a frame, a light source and a lid. The frame has two opposite side walls, and each of the side walls includes an inner side surface, a top surface and a cave. The cave has a first opening and a second opening connected with each other on the inner surface and the top surface respectively. Each of the inner surfaces is facing the other side wall, and the top surface intersects the inner surface with an angle. A light source has two opposite ends, and each of ends includes a positioning block. The positioning block engages with the cave through the second opening, and the light source extends along a first direction perpendicular to the inner surface, through the first opening and towards the opposite side wall of the frame. The lid covers the second opening and restricts the positioning block from moving relatively to the cave from the second opening.

  • Publication number: 20080019151
    Abstract: A backlight module having replaceable lamp module is provided. The backlight module includes a replaceable lamp module, a light-guiding plate, a frame and a positioning and protecting mechanism. The light-guiding plate is disposed over the bottom surface among four sides of the frame, wherein one side of the light-guiding plate and a corresponding side of the frame form a sliding groove. The replaceable lamp module is set in the sliding groove and slidably along the sliding groove. The positioning and protecting mechanism comprises a protecting device set on the replaceable lamp module and a positioning device set on the frame. The protecting device is capable of forming a gap between the replaceable lamp module and the bottom of the sliding groove in order to protect the replaceable lamp module from scraped by the structures of the backlight module while the replaceable lamp module is inserting into the sliding groove.
