  • Publication number: 20140327856
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a support frame having a bottom wall, and a main surrounding will extending upwardly from and formed integrally as one piece with the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the surrounding wall cooperatively define a receiving space. The bottom wall includes a first support disposed in the receiving space. The main surrounding wall includes a second support disposed in the receiving space and spacedly above the first support. A backlight module is supported on the first support. A liquid crystal display panel is supported on the second support so that the liquid crystal display panel is positioned above the backlight module.

  • Patent number: 8740447
    Abstract: In a flat panel display having integral frame structure, features of a metal frame and a plastic support, which support, position, and fix each component, are incorporated as an integral frame structure, such that no additional structure component is needed for the flat panel display to assemble the backlight module and the panel module. The frame structure is assembled to the bottom cover via screw that can reduce defectiveness of repetitive processing. A concave section at the bottom of the frame structure can contain a control circuit board for the panel cell such that the control circuit board can be rerouted downward to the bottom of the frame structure. The space required at the light source side of the flat panel display can be reduced, hence leading to the flat panel display with thin frame at the light source side.

  • Publication number: 20140126238
    Abstract: A light source module including a light emitting unit for emitting a light beam, a light guiding plate, and a light coupling unit is provided. The light guiding plate has a first light emitting surface, a first bottom surface, and a first light incident surface, wherein the first light emitting surface is opposite to the first bottom surface, and the first light incident surface connects the first light emitting surface and the first bottom surface. The light coupling unit has a second light incident surface and a second light emitting surface in contact with the first light incident surface. The light emitting unit is disposed beside the second light incident surface. The light beam enters the light coupling unit through the second light incident surface, exits the light coupling unit through the second light emitting surface, and then enters the light guiding plate through the first light incident surface.

  • Publication number: 20120140521
    Abstract: In a flat panel display, a reflector and a light guide plate are enlarged and a support section is formed on the light guide plate. A support component made of Methylsilanol Mannuronate with high stiffness is configured onto the support section and utilized for supporting a cell. After optical films are configured on the light guide plate, and between the support component, the cell is then placed on the support component. Finally, a top frame and two covers are assembled to complete the assembly of the flat panel display.
