Here, the 'liquid crystal panel 5 is assembled in the assembly space _ above the optical film group 3, and is supported by the first branch strip a and the second branch strip b together. The two supporting buffer strips b provide a buffering and protecting function to prevent the liquid crystal panel 5 from being broken due to the pressing force of the assembly. In addition, the side of the liquid crystal panel 5 abuts against the limiting buffer strip c, so the limiting buffer strip c can prevent the side of the liquid crystal panel 5 from directly contacting the surface of the stepped sidewall 14 to avoid checking the crystal panel and other Hard f surface, which is damaged by collision or vibration when the metal material is in direct contact. Referring again to a partial cross-sectional view of a backlight module and a liquid crystal panel according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 8, compared with the pre-embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 7, the other of the present invention The support buffer strips of the embodiment are not disposed on the first optical film side 3a of the optical film group 3, but are directly disposed on the first step surface 143 of the step side wall 14, and the first branch buffer The height of the strips & is preferably greater than the height of the optical film set 3 such that the upper surface of the first support buffer strip a is higher than the optical film set 3. In this case, the position of the first volley baffle a is between the surface 142 of the stepped side wall 14 and the first optical film side 3a of the optical film set 3. Thereby, the pressing force of the liquid crystal panel 5 and the assembly can be prevented from being applied to the optical group 3, and the crucible is applied to the first step surface 143 of the stepped side wall 14 of the more rigid. It is particularly worthwhile to mention that, in general, the assembly process of the liquid crystal display ^ is completed by assembling the backlight module in the backlight module factory and transporting it to another place for assembly with the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, an outer frame must be added outside the backlight module to facilitate the mounting and shipping of the backlight module. However, in the embodiment A of the present invention, except that 201005387 can be implemented by using the above-mentioned assembly steps, the assembly steps can also be performed at the same place, that is, the backlight module, the liquid crystal panel and the display bezel frame are assembled into one finished product at the same time. 'Not only saves the manufacturing and assembly costs of a frame outside the backlight module, but also improves the overall assembly efficiency. Therefore, compared with the conventional backlight module, it is necessary to assemble a backlight module outer frame outside a base and an optical film group to assemble with a liquid crystal panel. The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 is formed by the second-order stepped sidewalls disposed on opposite side edges of the base, and the first step surface of the two stepped sidewalls supports an optical film set and forms an assembly space. Carrying - LCD panel. Therefore, the backlight module does not need to additionally set a backlight module outer frame, and is directly assembled with the liquid crystal panel to effectively simplify the structure of the backlight module. In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments. However, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make a few changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
