Abstract

A backlight module comprises a bezel, an LED circuit board, an LED, and a driving circuit board. The bezel has a hole and the LED circuit board is disposed on the bezel and includes a first surface and a second surface. There is a first connector disposed on the second surface and passing through the hole of the bezel. The LED is welded on the second surface of the LED circuit board, an emitting end of the LED is protruded outside the first surface. The driving circuit board has a second connector, the second connector is connected to the fist connector so as to transmit signals to the LED circuit board.

Claims (20)

1. A backlight module comprising:

a bezel having a hole;

a light emitting diode (LED) circuit board, disposed on the bezel, having a first surface and a second surface;

a first connector disposed on the second surface of the LED circuit board and passing through the hole of the bezel;

an LED welded on the second surface of the LED circuit board, an emitting end of the LED being protruded outside the first surface; and

a driving circuit board having a second connector, the second connector being connected to the fist connector so as to transmit signals to the LED circuit board.

2. The backlight module of claim 1 , wherein the first connector is a socket protruding outward from the second surface of the LED circuit board.

3. The backlight module of claim 1 , wherein the second connector is a plug protruding outward from the surface of the driving circuit board.

4. A backlight module comprising:

a bezel having a hole;

an LED circuit board, disposed on the bezel, having a first surface and a second surface;

a first connector disposed on the second surface of the LED circuit board and passing though the hole of the bezel;

an LED disposed on the LED board and electrically connected to the first connector; and

a driving circuit board having a second connector connected to the first connector.

5. The backlight module of claim 4 , wherein the LED circuit board further has an opening, and the LED is embedded in the opening.

6. The backlight module of claim 4 , wherein the first connector is a socket protruding outward from the second surface of the LED circuit board.

7. The backlight module of claim 4 , wherein the second connector is a plug protruding outward from the surface of the driving circuit board.

8. The backlight module of claim 4 , wherein the bezel is made of aluminum.

9. The backlight module of claim 4 , further comprising a frame assembled with the bezel for accommodating the LED circuit board and the LED.

10. The backlight module of claim 4 , further comprising a thermal conducting film disposed between the bezel and the LED.
