Abstract

The present invention provides a backboard, a backlight module, and a liquid crystal display device. The backboard is configured by at least two units interconnected together, wherein the backboard includes a bottom and sidewall extending from edge of the bottom, wherein the sidewall is provided with at least a fastener which is implemented by attaching a screw onto the sidewall. The backboard is configured by two interconnected units so as to reduce the manufacturing cost. The backlight module and the liquid crystal display device are also benefited with reduced manufacturing cost. The backboard is provided with fastener implemented by attaching a screw. Accordingly, this arrangement is specially suitable for the situation in which the fasteners can not be integrally formed with the backboard. This arrangement is further beneficial for the assembling of the backlight module.

Claims (12)

1. A backlight module including a backboard and an intermediate frame, wherein the backboard is configured by at least two units interconnected together, wherein the backboard includes a bottom and sidewall extending from edge of the bottom, wherein the sidewall is provided with at least a fastener which is implemented by attaching a screw onto the sidewall, wherein the intermediate frame is provided with a first retaining slot corresponding to the fastener; and wherein the intermediate frame includes an embossment located on outer perimeter of the first retaining slot, and further provided with a frontal frame having a second retaining slot engaged with the embossment.

2. The backlight module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the units are interconnected by means of rivet, screw or welding.

3. The backlight module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the backlight module further comprises at least a waveguide, a light source, and at least an optical film received within a space defined by the backboard and the intermediate frame, wherein the light source faces adjacent to an incident surface of the waveguide and the optical film is disposed closely to an light exiting surface, wherein the fastener is located on the sidewall adjacent to the light source.

4. A backboard, wherein the backboard is configured by at least two units interconnected together, wherein the backboard includes a bottom and sidewall extending from edge of the bottom, wherein the sidewall is provided with at least a fastener which is implemented by attaching a screw onto the sidewall, wherein an intermediate frame is provided with a first retaining slot corresponding to the fastener; and wherein the intermediate frame includes an embossment located on outer perimeter of the first retaining slot, and further provided with a frontal frame having a second retaining slot engaged with the embossment.

5. The backboard as recited in claim 4 , wherein the unit is made from an extrusion.

6. The backboard as recited in claim 4 , wherein the units are interconnected by means of rivet, screw or welding.

7. A liquid crystal display device, including a backboard which is configured by at least two units interconnected together, wherein the backboard includes a bottom and sidewall extending from edge of the bottom, wherein the sidewall is provided with at least a fastener which is implemented by attaching a screw onto the sidewall;

wherein the device further includes an intermediate frame, a frontal frame, and a liquid crystal display panel arranged between a space defined by the intermediate frame and the frontal frame, a first retaining slot being defined on the intermediate frame corresponding to the fastener; and

wherein the intermediate frame includes an embossment located on outer perimeter of the first retaining slot, and the frontal frame being provided with a second retaining slot engaged with the embossment.

8. The liquid crystal display device as recited in claim 7 , wherein the unit is made from an extrusion.

9. The liquid crystal display device as recited in claim 7 , wherein the units are interconnected by means of rivet, screw or welding.

10. The liquid crystal display device as recited in claim 7 , wherein the intermediate frame is sandwiched between the backboard and the frontal frame.
