Abstract
A structure for securing lamp wires of a backlight assembly within an LCD module includes a liquid crystal panel, a mold frame, a lamp, and a structure for securing lamp wires within a backlight assembly within the LCD module. The structure includes an through which the lamp wires extend, lower and upper inserting grooves in lower and upper portions of the opening for receiving the lamp wires, and a tube for covering portions of a lamp wire to which a high voltage is applied. The tube covers portions of the lamp wire between a location at a junction wherein the lamp wire and the lamp are connected and a portion where the lamp wire extends through the opening.
Claims20
An LCD module, comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel;
- a mold frame for supporting the liquid crystal panel, the mold frame arranged behind the liquid crystal panel, the mold frame containing an opening arranged proximate a corner of the mold frame;
- a lamp for emitting light, the light arranged within an inner portion of the mold frame;
- first and second lamp wires electrically connecting the lamp to an external power source through the opening, the first and second lamp wires connected first and second ends of the lamp, respectively, wherein the first end of the lamp is further away from the opening than the second end of the lamp;
- an upper inserting groove through which the first lamp wire is insertable, the upper inserting groove being formed in an upper portion of the opening;
- a lower inserting groove through which the second lamp wire is insertable being formed in a lower portion of the opening;
- and
- a tube for covering portions of the second lamp wire between a junction location at the second end of the lamp and a location where the second lamp wire extends through the opening.
A structure for securing wires within an LCD module, comprising:
- a lamp having first and second ends;
- a first lamp wire having a first diameter connected to the first end of the lamp;
- a second lamp wire having a second diameter, greater than the first diameter, connected to the second end of the lamp;
- and
- a frame for supporting the lamp, the frame including a opening through which the first and second lamp wires extend, an upper inserting groove arranged at an upper portion of the opening, and a lower inserting groove arranged at a lower portion of the opening.
A structure for securing wires within an LCD module, comprising:
- a frame including an opening, a first receiving groove, and a second receiving groove;
- a lamp arranged within the second receiving groove, the lamp having first and second ends, wherein the second end of the lamp is closer to the opening than the first end of the lamp;
- a first lamp wire arranged within the first receiving groove, the first lamp wire connected to the first end of the lamp;
- and
- a second lamp wire connected to the second end of the lamp, wherein the first and second lamp wires extend through the opening.
