Abstract
A backlight module and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device incorporating the same are provided. The backlight module includes a frame and at least a light source. The frame has at least a through aperture. The light source having at least a t high voltage electrode terminal is disposed above the frame. The high voltage electrode terminal is positioned above the through aperture.
Claims12
A backlight module, comprising:
- a frame having a bottom plate and a side plate, wherein the bottom plate has at least one first through aperture, and the side plate has at least one second through aperture whose aperture direction is substantially vertical to the aperture direction of the at least one first through aperture;
- at least one light source having at least one high voltage electrode terminal disposed above the frame, wherein the at least one light source is an external electrode fluorescent lamp, the at least one high voltage electrode terminal is positioned right above the at least one first through aperture and corresponds to the at least one second through aperture, and a bottom surface of the high voltage electrode terminal faces the at least one first through aperture;
- and
- at least one conductive structure disposed above the bottom plate and electrically connected to the at least one high voltage terminal, wherein the bottom plate has a central region and a marginal region, the at least one first through aperture is located in the marginal region, and the at least one conductive structure is positioned in a boundary between the central region and the marginal region.
