3. The light source for a display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion further comprises a groove, and the first threaded surface is defined in the groove, and the second connecting portion further comprises a protrusion engaged with the groove.
4. The light source for a display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion further comprises a groove, and the second threaded surface is defined in the groove, and the first connecting portion further comprises a protrusion engaging the groove.
5. The light source for a display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulating element comprises silicon rubber.
6. A display device, comprising:
a housing;
a lamp, disposed in the housing;
an electrode, connected to the lamp;
a first connecting portion, having a first threaded surface, the first connecting portion electrically connected to the electrode;
an electric wire, protruding from the housing; and
a second connecting portion electrically connected to the electric wire, having a second threaded surface connected to the second threaded surface to form a conjunction region;
an insulating element, enclosing the second connecting portion and covering on the conjunction region when the first threaded surface is electrically connected to the second threaded surface, so that the electric wire connects to the lamp;
a first shoulder formed between the first connecting portion and the lamp; and
a second shoulder formed between the second connecting portion and the insulating element;
when the first threaded surface is connected to the second threaded surface, the conjunction region is formed by the first shoulder and the second shoulder.
7. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first connecting portion is a screw or a nut with internal thread.
8. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second connecting portion is a screw, a sleeve with internal thread, or a nut with internal thread, such that, when the first connecting portion is a screw, the second connecting portion is a sleeve or nut with internal thread corresponding to the screw, and when the first connecting portion is a nut with internal thread, the second connecting portion is a screw corresponding thereto.
9. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the insulating element comprises silicon rubber.
10. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electrode and the first connecting portion are connected by welding or pressing.
11. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electrode and the first connecting portion are integrally formed.
12. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electric wire and the second connecting portion are connected by welding or pressing.
13. The display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the lamp comprises a cold cathode fluorescent lamp.
14. A light source, comprising:
a lamp comprising an electrode;
a wire;
a first connecting portion electrically connected to the electrode, comprising a first threaded surface;
a second connecting portion electrically connected to the wire, comprising a second threaded surface electrically connected to the first threaded surface;
an insulating element comprising a recess and a contact surface, wherein the recess receives the second connecting portion and the contact surface covers conjunction region of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion when the first threaded surface is connected to the second threaded surface, so that the conjunction region of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion is isolated from an exterior by the insulating element;
a first shoulder formed between the first connecting portion and the lamp; and
a second shoulder formed between the second connecting portion and the insulating element;
when the first threaded surface is connected to the second threaded surface, the conjunction region is formed by the first shoulder and the second shoulder.
15. The light source as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the insulating element comprises an U-shaped section, and the contact surface of the insulating element is an inner wall of the recess.
16. The light source as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the lamp further comprises an outer surface, and the contact surface of the insulating element contacts the outer surface of the lamp when the first threaded surface is connected to the second threaded surface.
