  • Patent number: 7950814
    Abstract: A backlight module includes an optical film set and a plurality of light source sets having a first light source and a second light source. The first light source generates a first chromaticity light while the second light source generates a second chromaticity light. The first chromaticity light mixes with the second chromaticity light in the space between the light source sets and the optical film set and then enters the optical film set. The first chromaticity light and the second chromaticity light have their own spectrum and both spectra fall into a first color region of the CIE 1931 color space. Within the first color region, the spectrum of the first chromaticity light is close to a second color region while the spectrum of the second chromaticity light is close to a third color region.

    Abstract: A circuit board assembly and a backlight module comprising the circuit board assembly are provided. The circuit board assembly has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and further comprises at least one laminate, a first conductive wiring structure and a coating. The first conductive wiring structure is formed on the first surface. The coating is formed on the coating area of the second surface, wherein the coating can conduct heat and provide electric insulation. Thus, the circuit board assembly is adapted to outwardly conduct heat from the laminate through the second surface and to promote the heat dissipation efficiency of the circuit board assembly.
