Abstract

The present invention provides a backplane and a backlight module and a liquid crystal display device using the backplane. The backplane includes: a bottom plate ( 2 ) and multiple side plates ( 4 ) connected to the bottom plate ( 2 ). The bottom plate ( 2 ) includes a base section ( 22 ) and a mounting section ( 24 ) connected to a lateral edge of the base section ( 22 ). The base section ( 22 ) has two ends that are each provided with a stepwise structure ( 222 ) for mounting a curved light guide plate to an inner side thereof. The mounting sections ( 24 ) has an outside surface that is curved for mounting a circuit board. The base section ( 22 ) has an outside surface on which first reinforcement ribs ( 226 ) and second reinforcement ribs ( 228 ) perpendicularly connected thereto are formed. The backplane and the backlight module and the liquid crystal display device using the backplane of the present invention help make the backplane simple in structure and easy to manufacture and simplifies the assembling operation and reduces the manufacturing cost.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A backplane, comprising: a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates connected to the bottom plate, the bottom plate comprising a base section and a mounting section connected to a lateral edge of the base section, the base section having two ends that are each provided with a stepwise structure to allow for mounting a curved light guide plate to an inner side thereof, the mounting section having an outside surface that is curved for mounting a circuit board.

2 . The backplane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base section has an outside surface that comprises a pair of first reinforcement ribs that are parallel to each other and are parallel to the mounting section.

3 . The backplane as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the outside surface of the base section comprises two parallel second reinforcement ribs, the second reinforcement ribs being located in a central portion of the base section and being perpendicularly connected between the two first reinforcement ribs.

4 . The backplane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stepwise structure comprises two steps.

5 . A backlight module, comprising: a backplane, a light guide plate arranged in the backplane, and a backlight source arranged in the backplane, the backplane comprising a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates connected to the bottom plate, the bottom plate comprising a base section and a mounting section connected to a lateral edge of the base section, the base section having two ends that are each provided with a stepwise structure to allow for mounting a curved light guide plate to an inner side thereof, the mounting section having an outside surface that is curved for mounting a circuit board.

6 . The backlight module as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the light guide plate is arranged in a curved form having two ends respectively mounted to and supported on the stepwise structure, the light guide plate having at least one light incidence surface, the backlight source being mounted to the side plates to correspond to the light incidence surface.

7 . The backlight module as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the base section has an outside surface that comprises a pair of first reinforcement ribs that are parallel to each other and are parallel to the mounting section; the outside surface of the base section comprises two parallel second reinforcement ribs, the second reinforcement ribs being located in a central portion of the base section and being perpendicularly connected between the two first reinforcement ribs; and the stepwise structure comprises two steps.

8 . A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a backlight module, a mold frame mounted on the backlight module, a liquid crystal display panel arranged on the mold frame, a front bezel arranged on the liquid crystal display panel, and a circuit board mounted on the backlight module and electrically connected to the liquid crystal display panel, the backlight module comprising a backplane, a light guide plate arranged in the backplane, and a backlight source arranged in the backplane, the backplane comprising a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates connected to the bottom plate, the bottom plate comprising a base section and a mounting section connected to a lateral edge of the base section, the base section having two ends that are each provided with a stepwise structure to allow for mounting a curved light guide plate to an inner side thereof, the mounting section having an outside surface that is curved for mounting a circuit board.

9 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the light guide plate is arranged in a curved form having two ends respectively mounted to and supported on the stepwise structure, the light guide plate having at least one light incidence surface, the backlight source being mounted to the side plates to correspond to the light incidence surface.

10 . The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the base section has an outside surface that comprises a pair of first reinforcement ribs that are parallel to each other and are parallel to the mounting section; the outside surface of the base section comprises two parallel second reinforcement ribs, the second reinforcement ribs being located in a central portion of the base section and being perpendicularly connected between the two first reinforcement ribs; and the stepwise structure comprises two steps.
