Abstract
A lamp module for use in a liquid crystal display includes a lamp tube, a reflector, a dismantling mechanism disposed on the reflector. The reflector comprises a first side, a second side, and a third side forming a sink, for accommodating the lamp tube and reflecting light from the lamp tube. The dismantling mechanism disposed on the reflector and outside a bezel of the liquid crystal display when the lamp module is assembled to the liquid crystal display. The lamp module is capable of being disassembled from the bezel of the liquid crystal display by applying a force on the dismantling mechanism.
