  • Patent number: 7880830
    Abstract: An exemplary double-sided liquid crystal display includes a light guide plate, illuminators, a first liquid crystal panel, and a second liquid crystal panel. The light guide plate includes a first light emitting surface and a second light emitting surface. The first and second light emitting surfaces are configured for light emission. The illuminators are configured for providing light beams for the light guide plate. The first liquid crystal panel is configured for receiving the light beams from the first light emitting surface. The second liquid crystal panel is configured for receiving the light beams from the second light emitting surface. When the first liquid crystal panel is configured to display, the first liquid crystal panel is illuminated by only part of the illuminators. When the second liquid crystal panel is configured to display, the second liquid crystal panel is illuminated by all the illuminators.

  • Patent number: 7782417
    Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display (LCD) (40) includes an LCD panel (42), a backlight module (41), and a housing assembly. The housing assembly includes a rear housing (48) and a corresponding front housing (46) to secure the LCD panel and the backlight module. The rear housing has a first sidewall (481) with a first hole (482). The front housing has a second sidewall (461) with a second hole (462) aligned with the first hole. A flexible printed circuit board (44) is electrically connected to the LCD and passes through the first and second holes, such that the housing assembly can protect the flexible printed circuit board without reducing the mechanical strength of the housing assembly.

  • Patent number: 7445371
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (12) includes a light guide plate (14) and a frame (16) receiving the light guide plate. The frame includes a first side wall (160), and a second side wall (167) connected with the first side wall. The frame further defines a first sliding guide (165). The first side wall defines an opening (163) therein. The opening is configured for allowing the light guide plate to be inserted into the frame therethrough. The first sliding guide is defined at an inner side of a portion of the frame that is adjacent to the second side wall, and supports one side of the light guide plate. The first sliding guide communicates with the opening, and is configured for allowing the light guide plate to slide into the frame.

  • Publication number: 20080151572
    Abstract: An exemplary light guide plate (21) includes a main body (25) and a protrusion (26). The main body includes a plurality of side surfaces. At least one of the side surfaces is a reflective side surface. The protrusion extends from one of the side surfaces. The protrusion includes a light incident side surface (261) and a reflective side surface (263). The main body defines a light emitting area (27). Incident light beams emitted from the light incident side surface of the protrusion are reflected by the reflective side surfaces of the main body and the protrusion once or more than once. Thereby, the reflective light beams have a divergence angle larger than a divergence angle of the incident light beams. The reflective light beams are transmitted to the light emitting area of the main body and are converted into flat light therein.

  • Publication number: 20070076436
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (3) includes a light guide plate (31), a light source (32) located adjacent to the light guide plate and a fixing member (33) located adjacent to a corner of the light guide plate. The light source includes a corner portion. The fixing member includes a channel (332) fixedly receiving the corner portion of the light source, and a light transmission cutout (334) defined through an inner wall thereof. The light transmission cutout communicates with the channel. Light beams emitting from the corner portion of the light source can enter the light guide plate via the light transmission structure. Therefore, the backlight module has a high light utilization ratio and a uniform brightness distribution.
