Abstract

A frame structure of a backlight module includes a body and a mold frame. A side wall surrounds a bearing surface of the body, and the side wall has at least one stopper and at least one positioning hole. A side edge of the mold frame has at least one positioning post. When the mold frame is disposed on the side wall, the side edge of the mold frame leans against the stopper, and the positioning post of the mold frame is embedded in the positioning hole.

Claims (23)

1. A frame structure of a backlight module, comprising:

a body, having a bearing surface and a side wall, wherein the side wall surrounds an edge of the bearing surface, and one end of the side wall far away from the bearing surface has at least one stopper and at least one positioning hole; and

a mold frame, wherein a side edge of the mold frame has at least one positioning post, the mold frame is disposed on the side wall, the side edge leans against the stopper, and the positioning post is embedded in the positioning hole.

2. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the side wall further has an erection section and a bending section, one end of the erection section stands on the bearing surface, the other end of the erection section is connected to the bending section and the stopper, a first included angle is formed between the bending section and the erection section, a second included angle is formed between the bending section and the stopper, and the positioning hole is disposed on the bending section.

3. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein an angular magnitude of the first included angle is equal to an angular magnitude of the second included angle.

4. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein the bending section is parallel with the bearing surface.

5. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning hole is located on one side of the bending section adjacent to the stopper.

6. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning post of the mold frame has a bump, the bump protrudes from the positioning post, the positioning post is embedded in the positioning hole, and the bump leans against one side of the bearing surface opposite to the bending section.

7. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive material, disposed on the side wall of the body, and between the side edge of the mold frame and the side wall.

8. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive material is selected from one of a double-sided adhesive tape and an adhesive agent.

9. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 8 , wherein the double-sided adhesive tape has at least one notch, and the notch matches and corresponds to the positioning hole of the body.

10. A frame structure of a backlight module, comprising:

a body;

a backlight source holder, disposed on the body, and having a bearing surface and a side wall, wherein the side wall is disposed on an edge of the bearing surface, and one end of the side wall far away from the bearing surface has at least one stopper and at least one positioning hole; and

a mold frame, wherein a side edge of the mold frame has at least one positioning post, the mold frame is disposed on the body, the side edge leans against the stopper of the backlight source holder, and the positioning post is embedded in the positioning hole.

11. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 10 , wherein the side wall of the backlight source holder further has an erection section and a bending section, one end of the erection section stands on the bearing surface, the other end of the erection section is connected to the bending section and the stopper, a first included angle is formed between the bending section and the erection section, a second included angle is formed between the bending section and the stopper, and the positioning hole is disposed on the bending section.

12. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 11 , wherein an angular magnitude of the first included angle is equal to an angular magnitude of the second included angle.

13. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 11 , wherein the bending section is parallel with the bearing surface.

14. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 11 , wherein the positioning hole is located on one side of the bending section adjacent to the stopper.

15. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 11 , wherein the positioning post of the mold frame has a bump, the bump protrudes from the positioning post, the positioning post is embedded in the positioning hole, and the bump leans against one side of the bending section opposite to the bearing surface.

16. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 10 , further comprising an adhesive material, disposed on the side wall of the body, and between the side edge of the mold frame and the side wall.

17. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 16 , wherein the adhesive material is selected from one of a double-sided adhesive tape and an adhesive agent.

18. The frame structure of the backlight module according to claim 17 , wherein the double-sided adhesive tape has at least one notch, and the notch matches and corresponds to the positioning hole of the body.
