  • Publication number: 20140268880
    Abstract: The present invention provides a positioning device for light guide plate and the backlight module. The positioning device for light guide plate includes a backboard and a spring member which can be deformed when exerted with external force, and resumes to its original position when the external force is relieved. The spring member is arranged adjacent to the incident surface of the light guide plate, and includes a connector attached to the backboard, and a positioning hand having a fixing end and a free end. The fixing end is secured to the connector, and the free end abuts against to the sidewall of the light guide plate so as to hold up the light guide plate. The spring member is set to have a certain elastic modulus. When the light guide plate expands under heat or other reasons, the spring member will provide a buffer zone for the light guide plate and deform in accordance with the light guide plate which is therefore prevented from being warped.
