Abstract

The present invention relates to the display technology field, and provides a backplate, a plastic-iron integrated structure, a backlight unit, and a display device. The backplate is provided with a first through hole, and the first through hole has an inner wall and an outer wall which form a projection structure on the backplate. When the backplate is bonded with a plastic frame to form the plastic-iron integrated structure, the plastic frame not only contacts the inner wall of the first through hole, but also contacts the surface of the projection structure, thus increasing the contact area between the plastic frame and the backplate, and increasing the bonding force between the plastic frame and the backplate. Even when the plastic frame shrinks in case of fluctuations in temperature and/or humidity, the plastic frame is not easily separated from the backplate, and the stability of the formed plastic-iron integrated structure is improved.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A support frame for a backlight unit, comprising:
a backplate for a backlight unit; and
a plastic frame which is bonded with the backplate,
wherein the backplate comprises:
a base plate, wherein the base plate comprises a bottom portion and a side portion extending at an angle from a perimeter of the bottom portion, such that the bottom portion and the side portion form an accommodation space for accommodating backlight components;
a projection structure on the side portion, wherein the projection structure is directly formed on a surface of the side portion away from the accommodating space; and

a first through hole penetrating the side portion and the projection structure,
wherein a distal end of the projection structure comprises a bending structure extending from an inner wall of the first through hole in a radial direction of the first through hole, the bending structure forms a distal top surface away from the accommodating space defining a second through hole which communicates with the first through hole, such that the first through hole and the second through hole are co-axial and the second through hole has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the first through hole, and
wherein the plastic frame forms a first part in the accommodating space covering a surface of bottom portion adjacent the perimeter and a surface of the side portion around the first through hole and an anchoring part extending away from the accommodating space through the first through hole and the second through hole and covering the distal top surface of the projection structure.

2. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame is formed by injecting molten plastic material into the backplate.

3. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the first through hole and the second through hole each have a circular cross section.

4. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the projection structure is either formed on the base plate forming an integral piece or is formed integrally by the base plate.

5. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the first part of the plastic frame from the surface of the side portion has a width parallel to the surface of the bottom portion of 0.65 mm-0.95 mm.

6. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is iron.

7. The support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame is rubber.

8. A backlight unit, wherein the backlight unit comprises the support frame for a backlight unit of claim 1 .

9. A display device, wherein the display device comprises the backlight unit of claim 8 .
