  • Patent number: 8240905
    Abstract: An exemplary light source assembly includes a light guide plate, a printed circuit board and light emitting elements. Each of the light emitting elements includes a cuneiform base and a light emitting diode. The cuneiform base includes an inclined surface sloped relative to an outer surface of the printed circuit board. The corresponding light emitting diode is placed on the inclined surface of the cuneiform base such that the light emitting diode is angled on the printed circuit board. Thereby, light is obliquely emitted from the light emitting elements onto the light guide plate.

  • Patent number: 7414832
    Abstract: An exemplary display device (2) includes a display module (25), a base (21), and a pivot mechanism (23) for pivoting the display module to the base. The pivot mechanism includes a frame portion (232) fixed to the display module and a pivot axle (231) fixed to the base. The frame portion is pivoted on the pivot axle. Because the frame portion fixed with the display module is pivoted on the pivot axle fixed on the base, the display module can be rotated around the base. Moreover, the pivot mechanism is compactly disposed where the display module connects with the base. Therefore the overall configuration of the display device is compact.

  • Publication number: 20080067314
    Abstract: An exemplary flat panel display (200) includes a display module (22), a supporting arm (25), and a base (27). The supporting arm includes a slide plate (251). The base defines an accommodating space (275). The supporting arm is attached to the display module such that the display module is pivotable about the supporting arm. The slide plate is slidably received in the accommodating space such that the supporting arm is attached to the base, and the slide plate is slidably removable from the accommodating space such that the supporting arm is detached from the base. The supporting arm can be easily detached from the base. Thus, unduly large space inhabited by the supporting member can be effectively saved during the transportion of the flat panel display (200).
