Abstract

A backlight module includes a back board, an illumination assembly, a supporting component and a frame. The illumination assembly is disposed on the back board. The supporting component includes a base, a first extending plate and a second extending plate. The base is disposed on the back board. Both of the first extending plate and the second extending plate stand on the base and extend along an axial direction of the base so that the first extending plate and the second extending plate are at a first angle and a second angle relative to the base, respectively. The first extending plate is located between the second extending plate and the illumination assembly. The frame is disposed on the supporting component, and the illumination assembly is located between the frame and the back board.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A backlight module, comprising:
a back board; an illumination assembly disposed on the back board; a supporting component comprising a base, a first extending plate and a second extending plate, the base being disposed on the back board, both of the first extending plate and the second extending plate standing on the base and extending along an axial direction of the base so that the first extending plate and the second extending plate are at a first angle and a second angle relative to the base, respectively, and the first extending plate being located between the second extending plate and the illumination assembly; and a frame disposed on the supporting component, and the illumination assembly being located between the frame and the back board.

2 . The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein a length, width or thickness of the first extending plate is different from a length, width or thickness of the second extending plate.

3 . The backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein the length of the first extending plate is less than the length of the second extending plate.

4 . The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a side wall and a bearing part extending from an edge of the side wall, the side wall is located between the first extending plate and the second extending plate, the bearing part is disposed on the first extending plate, the side wall comprises a hook, the supporting component has a fastening hole, and the hook is engaged with the fastening hole.

5 . The backlight module according to claim 1 , further comprising a positioning member, the illumination assembly comprising a light source and a light guide plate, the light source being disposed near a side of the light guide plate, the first extending plate withstanding against the positioning member, and the positioning member being located between the first extending plate and the light guide plate.

6 . The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the first extending plate of the supporting component has a top surface at a side away from the base, the first extending plate is recessed from the top surface to the base so as to form two recesses and a fixing portion located between the two recesses; the illumination assembly comprises a light source, a light guide plate and an optical film, the light guide plate has a light-exit surface and a light-entrance surface, the light source is disposed near the light-entrance surface, the optical film is disposed on the light-exit surface, the optical film has a fixing hole, and the fixing portion penetrates the fixing hole.

7 . A display device, comprising:
the backlight module according to claim 1 ; a display panel disposed on the frame of the backlight module and having an edge portion; and a bezel disposed on the circumference of the backlight module, and the edge portion of the display panel being located between the frame and a part of the bezel.

8 . The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the bezel comprises a lateral segment, a top segment and a bottom segment, the top segment and the bottom segment are respectively connected to two opposing sides of the lateral segment; the second extending plate is located between the first extending plate and the lateral segment, the edge portion of the display panel is located between the frame and the top segment, the bottom segment is located on a side of the back board away from the supporting component.

9 . The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the first extending plate and the second extending plate both extend along a first extending direction, the top segment and the bottom segment both extend along a second extending direction that is perpendicular to the first extending direction.

10 . The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising a locking component, each of the bottom segment of the bezel, the back board and the base of the supporting component having a locking hole, and the locking component being locked into the locking holes so as to fix the bottom segment, the back board and the supporting component together.
