Publication number: 20140002767Abstract: The backplane for a liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes side walls, and the backplane at least includes two backplane units. A horizontal moving guide device is arranged between the adjacent backplane units, and an elastic device which enables the two backplane units to relatively elastically expand and contract horizontally is further arranged between the adjacent backplane units. The backplane of the LCD device of the present disclosure is designed to be able to elastically expand and contract in a direction perpendicular to a light emitting diode (LED) lightbar. When a light guide panel (LGP) in the backplane expands after absorbing heat, the backplane is extended by a pushing force, and heat expansion quantity of the LGP is directly absorbed. When the LGP is contracted because of temperature drop, the backplane is shortened under action of the elastic device, and a light coupling distance between the LGP and the LED lightbar is always kept constant.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Inventors: Shihhsiang Chen, Gege Zhou

Publication number: 20140002768Abstract: The present disclosure provides a liquid crystal display (LCD) device. The LCD device includes a front frame, a backplane fixed to the front frame, an optical assembly sandwiched between the front frame and the backplane, and an LCD panel arranged on a light emitting surface of the optical assembly. A side light incident surface of the optical assembly is correspondingly configured with a light source, and a shading member which is used for preventing light from directly entering inside of the LCD panel from the light source is arranged between the light source and the LCD panel. In the present disclosure, because the shading member used for preventing light from directly entering the inside of the LCD panel from the light source is arranged between the light source and the LCD panel, the light emitted by the light source cannot enter the inside of the LCD panel, thereby effectively avoiding hotspot phenomenon.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Inventors: Yicheng Kuo, Shihhsiang Chen, Gang Yu, Jiaqiang Wang
