Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (42) includes a light guide plate (47) and a frame (46) for receiving the light guide plate. The frame includes a plurality of side walls (462) and a plurality of elastic structures (463). The elastic structures extend from top surfaces of the side walls.

Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (5) includes a light guide plate (54) having a light incident surface (546), and a circuit board (62) disposed adjacent to the light incident surface. A pair of protrusions (544) of the light guide plate engages in a pair of fixing holes (524) of the circuit board, thereby fixing the circuit board and the light guide plate together. The backlight module may further include one or more optical films. In such case, the above-described fixing means may further include a plurality of side-blocks or a plurality of corner-blocks integrally formed on a light emitting surface of the light guide plate. The side-blocks or corner-blocks enable the optical films to be tightly held on the light guide plate without gaps therebetween.

Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display includes an LCD panel (22); a light guide plate (234), a light source (231) disposed at a side of the light guide plate; a light-source cover (232) surrounding part of and holding the light source, the light-source cover defining a groove at one end thereof; and a frame (237) receiving the light guide plate, the light source and the light-source cover, the frame including an opening (2377), a side wall (2374) and an elastic protrusion (2371) formed on the sidewall (2374) near the opening. A main portion of the light-source cover is received in the frame through the opening of the frame and the light-source cover is attached to the frame by engagement of the elastic protrusion.

Abstract: An exemplary a light guide plate (11) includes a top surface (112), a bottom surface (113) opposite to the top surface, and a side surface (114) between the top surface and the bottom surface. A protrusion (116) extends from the side surface. A thickness of at least part of the protrusion decreases with increasing distance away from the side surface. A backlight module (10) and a liquid crystal display device (1) employing such a light guide plate are also provided.

Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (2) includes a frame (22) having a plurality of side walls (221), a light guide plate (23) having a light incident surface (231) and a light output surface (233) contained in the frame, at least one optical films (21) disposed adjacent to the light output surface of the light guide plate, and a light source assembly (25) disposed adjacent to the light incident surface of the light guide plate. The frame has at least one elastic fixing clip (225) for fixing the at least one optical films therein. With this configuration, the elastic fixing clip can firmly fix the optical films in the plastic frame. Therefore, the backlight module having the optical films and the plastic frame can be mechanically stable and operate properly.

Abstract: A backlight module (20) includes at least a light source (23) for emitting light beams, and a light guide plate (22) having a plurality of colored particles (220) embedded therein. The colored particles have a color complementary to that of the light beams emitted by the light source, whereby the colored particles diffuse and convert the light beams to enable the backlight module to output high purity white light beams.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display module (60) includes a liquid crystal panel (30) and a frame (20) for holding the liquid crystal panel. The frame includes a base portion (25), four sidewalls (21, 22, 23, 24) provided on the base portion. The four sidewalls and the base portion cooperatively define a receiving space. One of the four sidewalls includes an elastic clasp (231) thereat, for elastically retaining the liquid crystal panel in the receiving space. With the configuration, a reducing cost, thickness and weightiness are obtained and the liquid crystal display module may be easily and conveniently assembled or disassembled.

Abstract: A housing for receiving a flat panel display and/or a backlight module. The housing includes a front frame having a central window, wherein the inner edge of the frame defines an active area for the flat panel display, a bottom frame, a side frame locating between the front frame and the bottom frame to form a space and at least one opening. At least one separate plate is located on the inside surface of the side frame for separating the flat panel display and/or a backlight module. The housing includes a stopping frame having a reflector, a cavity, and pores to prevent the flat panel display or a backlight module from sliding out of the space.
