Each of the lamps includes a lamp body, a first electrode part disposed at a first end portion of the lamp body and a second electrode part disposed at a second end portion of the lamp body, the second end portion being opposite to the first end portion. The receiving container includes a bottom plate on which the lamps are disposed and a sidewall disposed at edge portions of the bottom plate to define a receiving space. The receiving container has a plurality of grounding portions formed on the bottom plate or the sidewalls. The conductive member electrically connects the second electrode part to one of the grounding portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2010Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Won-Ju Kim, Min-Ho Ok, Yoon-Soo Kwon, Jung-Tae Kang, Sang-Hoon Park, Jin-Ho Ha, Woong-Jae Chang

Publication number: 20110286224Abstract: A light source fixing structure of a lamp is provided. The structure includes a lamp body having a mounting base, a light source having a disc flange, and a set spring elastically contacting the disc flange to fix the disc flange to the mounting base. The lamp body includes a latch protrusion to lock the set spring. The set spring includes a support portion supported on the lamp body, a manually operable lock operating portion, and an elastically contacting portion. An operation of the lock operating portion in one direction causes the elastically contacting portion to elastically contact the back surface of the disc flange and generates an elastic reaction force in a direction different from the one direction. The elastic reaction force urges the lock operating portion toward the latch protrusion and causes the lock operating portion to engage with the latch protrusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2011Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicant: KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Yukio Nomura

Publication number: 20110255014Abstract: A backlight unit 12 includes cold cathode tubes 18, a chassis 14, inverter boards 20, and relay connectors 21. The chassis 14 houses the cold cathode tubes 18. The inverter boards 20 are arranged on a side of the chassis 14 opposite from the cold cathode tubes 18, and configured to supply a drive power to the cold cathode tubes. The relay connectors 21 are mounted to the chassis 14 and configured to relay power supply from the inverter boards 20 to the cold cathode tubes 18. Each inverter board 20 can be moved from a non-inserted position and an inserted position along a direction along the board surface of the inverter board 20. The inverter board 20 is separated from the relay connectors 21 at the non-inserted position and inserted in the relay connectors 21 at the inserted position. The backlight unit 12 further includes positioning structures for positioning the inverter board 20 relative to the chassis 14 at least one of directions along the board surface of the inverter board 20.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2009Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shiyoshi Cho

Publication number: 20110249456Abstract: One end of a lamp support is defined as a mounting end, and the other end is defined as a connecting end. The mounting end connects to a lamp box, and the connecting end connects to a lamp base. The mounting end of the lamp support has a through hole. The tip of the mounting end is bent to form a hook section. The lamp box has a mounting hole and a groove in a shape corresponding to the hook section. An inserting element is inserted into the through hole of the mounting end and the mounting hole of the lamp box, thereby mounting the lamp support onto the lamp box. The hook section of the mounting end correspondingly catches the groove of the lamp box, fixing the lamp support.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2010Publication date: October 13, 2011Inventor: Chao-chin Yao
