Abstract

A back light module is disclosed. The back light module comprises a frame, a reflective mask, a light guide plate, a linear light source and a baffle plate, wherein the reflective mask is installed in the frame. The linear light source is surrounded by the light guide plate and the reflective mask. The baffle plate is disposed between the linear light source and the light guide plate and the baffle plate is connected to the reflective mask and the frame. The baffle plate disposed between the linear light source and the light guide plate is adapted for absorbing impact force during the impact test and reducing the possibility of displacement of the light guide plate. Thus, the possibility of damage to the linear light source due to displacement of the light guide plate can be effectively reduced. Thus, the reliability of the notebook computer can be effectively promoted.

Claims (24)

1. A back light module, comprising:

a frame;

a reflective mask, installed in the frame;

a light guide plate, comprising a light incidence side locked onto the reflective mask;

a linear light source, surrounded by the light guide plate and the reflective mask; and

a baffle plate, disposed between the linear light source and the light guide plate, wherein the baffle plate is connected to the reflective mask and the frame, wherein the reflective mask comprises an opening and the baffle plate is locked to the opening of the reflective mask.

2. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein the baffle plate is configured into a Z-shape and comprises a first deflection portion and a second deflection portion, and wherein the first deflection portion of the baffle plate is propped against the reflective mask and the second deflection portion of the baffle plate is propped against the frame.

3. The back light module of claim 2 , wherein the baffle plate is fixed on the frame and/or the reflective mask by using a double sided tape.

4. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein the baffle plate is configured into a L-shape and comprises a deflection portion which is adapted for supporting against the frame.

5. The back light module of claim 4 , wherein the baffle plate is fixed on the frame by using a double sided tape.

6. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein the baffle plate is configured into a L-shape and comprises a first deflection portion which is adapted for supporting against the reflective mask.

7. The back light module of claim 6 , wherein the baffle plate is fixed on the reflective mask by using a double sided tape.

8. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein a material of the baffle plate comprises a high thermal-conductive material.

9. The back light module of claim 8 , wherein the high thermal-conductive material comprises metal.

10. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein a material of the baffle plate comprises an elastic material.

11. The back light module of claim 10 , wherein the elastic material comprises plastic.

12. The back light module of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises an opening and the baffle plate is locked to the opening of the frame.

13. A back light module, comprising:

a frame, comprising a baffle plate;

a reflective mask, installed in the frame;

a light guide plate, comprising a light incidence side locked onto the reflective mask; and

a linear light source, surrounded by the light guide plate and the reflective mask, wherein the baffle plate is positioned between the linear light source and the light guide plate, and the baffle plate is connected to the reflective mask, wherein the reflective mask comprises an opening and the baffle plate is locked to the opening of the reflective mask.

14. The back light module of claim 13 , wherein a material of the baffle plate comprises an elastic material.

15. The back light module of claim 14 , wherein the elastic material comprises plastic.
