Description

Backlight module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of backlight module, and be particularly related to a kind of backlight module that can simple and easy dismounting backlight.
Background technology
The photoelectricity correlation technique is constantly weeded out the old and bring forth the new in recent years, adds the arrival of digital times, and then has promoted the flourish of LCD market.LCD has the image quality height, volume is little, in light weight, driving voltage is low and advantages such as power consumption is low, therefore be widely used in PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), mobile phone, shoot with video-corder projector, notebook computer, desktop display, automobile-used display, and consumer communication or electronic product such as projection TV, and replace cathode-ray tube (CRT) gradually and become the main flow of display.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) be a kind of display device of utilizing liquid crystal characteristic to reach display effect, because its cathode-ray tube display more commonly used than tradition is having better elasticity aspect the dimension and weight, therefore, LCD often is used on the various pss at present, display screen on little mobile phone, personal digital assistant and the digital camera to big televisor and billboard, can be seen the shadow of LCD everywhere.
Existing LCD all designs towards light weight, thinning direction, especially is applicable to and can takes device, for example the LCD of notebook computer, personal digital assistant, mobile phone or the like.And at the same time, the reduction of material and making, assembly cost is also imperative, and wherein display panels is the design that light weight, thinning are carried out in the consideration of overall system design, and this often conflicts mutually with display panels self structure intensity.
Traditional backlight module is many with cold-cathode tube (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp; CCFL) as light source, can be divided into side-light type light inlet (edge lighting) and two kinds of straight-down negative light inlets (bottom lighting) according to the difference of light source incoming position, usually apply among various information, communication, the consumer products, an area source of the LCD of the said goods is provided thus.In portable electronic product, because the consideration of weight, the backlight module of side-light type light inlet becomes preferable selection.
The technology that light source is substituted in the backlight module can prolong the serviceable life of LCD Panel.The pattern that light source is substituted can be that the back of the body is taken out, take out at the end and side is taken out, and the light source of product is substituted pattern and adopted the structure of side-extract type to change the sidelight source mostly on the market now.Fig. 1 is the structural map that the backlight module of existing side-extract type light source is shown, and as shown in Figure 1, the side of backlight module 15 has guide groove 22.Light source 25 comprises supporting part 19 and is positioned at its fluorescent tube 14.Light source 25 slips into along the side of guide groove 22 by backlight module.Generally speaking, the backlight module of side-extract type and bottom pumping type needs bigger workbench when changing light source.Therefore in addition, the backlight module of carrying on the back odd test now utilizes a back iron frame to fix the sidelight source, suitable inconvenience when dismounting.For existing back of the body odd test backlight module, need better design and could change light source more quickly and easily.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the invention provides a kind of backlight module of carrying on the back odd test, this module comprises: framework, optical element, base plate, bracket and light source.Optical element is arranged in the framework, and the interior intermarginal accommodation space that has of the side of at least one side of optical element and framework.Base plate is arranged at the below of this optical element and combines with framework.Base plate can not exclusively cover in framework, after the base plate installing, has a distance between an edge of base plate and the frame sides to expose the part accommodation space at least.Bracket also has setting light source thereon, and bracket is incorporated into the lower edge of framework and base plate and covers accommodation space.Light source holder on the bracket places in the accommodation space and is positioned at the side of optical element.Wherein bracket can break away from framework with the framework combination or along opposite direction along the direction towards the base plate bottom surface.Optical element comprises a light guide plate at least.
In backlight module provided by the present invention, above accommodation space and the top inner edge of the framework of side and the side inner edge can have reflecting coating and the bracket inner edge also has reflector layer, place the light that light source sent in the accommodation space to be imported into light guide plate more efficiently because of the reflection of reflecting coating, the structure of the visual bracket of reflecting coating on the framework and optical efficiency determine whether coating.Optical element also comprises a diffuser plate, and this diffuser plate is positioned on the light guide plate, and a Polarizer is positioned on this diffuser plate.
Base plate is positioned under the light guide plate and from light guide plate and extends to accommodation space, can expose accommodation space or shaded portions accommodation space fully.The shape of bracket can be " L " shape, " ㄈ " font (opening shaped as frame to the right) or " one " font, and bracket is to be mounted on the framework in the mode on straight (" on straight " mode is defined in hereinafter).
Inner edge at bracket also is coated with reflecting coating, and its effect also is to place the light that light source sent in the accommodation space to be inducted into light guide plate more efficiently.Bracket is fixed in mode on framework and the base plate and is included in the bracket lateral margin and is provided with earclip, and described earclip can fasten with the combined hole that is positioned at base plate; In addition, also can use the mode that screws togather or fit to fix bracket.The employed material of bracket can be metal or insulating material, and wherein, insulating material can be tygon, polycarbonate, poly-propionyl acid esters or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS).When the employed material of bracket is insulating material, can further reduces the leakage current of light source module, and then improve the serviceable life of light source module.
In the present invention, light source can use cold cathode fluorescent lamp or light emitting diode.
Useful technique effect of the present invention is: light sources is substituted easily, and can reduce the leakage current of light source module effectively, the serviceable life of improving light source module thus, and can reduce work hours significantly, reduce manufacturing cost.
