Abstract

An engaging structure of a backlight module is disclosed. The engaging structure utilizes protruding portions, which extend from the bottom edge of a side wall of a mold frame, insert into corresponding holes on a chassis, and so fasten and position the mold frame on the chassis. The engaging structure prevents that the problems of light leak are caused by the backlight module and scratches on a driving IC on a side of a backlight.

Claims (17)

1. An engaging structure of backlight module, comprising:

a chassis comprising a bottom plate, a first side wall disposed on the bottom plate and surrounding an edge thereof to define a space, and at least one hole located along a common edge of the first side wall and the bottom plate and perforating the first side wall and the bottom plate; and

a mold frame mounted in the space of the chassis and comprising a frame margin and a second side wall disposed beneath the frame margin and surrounding an outer edge thereof, wherein a bottom edge of the second side wall has at least one protruding portion inserting into corresponding holes on the chassis, whereby the mold frame is fastened into the space of the chassis.

2. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the protruding portion has an I-shaped cross-section.

3. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the protruding portion has an L-shaped hook cross-section.

4. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the mold frame is formed from plastic with a mold.

5. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the chassis is made of aluminum.

6. An engaging structure of backlight module, comprising:

a chassis comprising a bottom plate, a first side wall disposed on the bottom plate and surrounding an edge thereof to define a space, and at least one hole located along a common edge of the first side wall and the bottom plate and perforating the first side wall and the bottom plate; and

a mold frame mounted in the space of the chassis and comprising a frame margin and a second side wall disposed beneath the frame margin and surrounding an outer edge thereof, wherein a bottom edge of the second side wall has at least one protruding portion, an end of the protruding portion has an I-shaped cross-section and is inserted into corresponding holes on the chassis, whereby the mold frame is fastened into the space of the chassis.

7. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein the mold frame is formed from plastic with a mold.

8. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein the chassis is made of aluminum.

9. An engaging structure of backlight module, comprising:

a chassis comprising a bottom plate, a first side wall disposed on the bottom plate and surrounding an edge thereof to define a space, and at least one hole located along a common edge of the first side wall and the bottom plate and perforating the first side wall and the bottom plate; and

a mold frame mounted in the space of the chassis and comprising a frame margin and a second side wall disposed beneath the frame margin and surrounding an outer edge thereof, wherein a bottom edge of the second side wall has at least one protruding portion, and an end of the protruding portion has an L-shaped hook portion inserting into corresponding holes on the chassis, whereby the mold frame is fastened into the space of the chassis.

10. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 9 , wherein the mold frame is formed from plastic with a mold.

11. The engaging structure of backlight module according to claim 9 , wherein the chassis is made of aluminum.
