Abstract
A frame device includes a first frame, a plurality of fasteners and an second frame. The first frame includes a base wall and a side wall extending transversely from one end of the base wall. The fasteners are disposed on the side wall opposite to the base wall. The second frame is assembled to and covers an upper end of the first frame and has a plurality of spaced-apart positioning holes. A portion of each fastener passes out of a respective positioning hole and presses against the second frame when the second frame is assembled to the first frame.
Claims18
A frame device for a backlight module comprising:
- a first frame including a base wall and a side wall extending from said base wall;
- a plurality of fasteners disposed on said side wall;
- and
- a second frame assembled to said first frame and having a plurality of spaced-apart positioning holes,
- wherein a portion of each of said fasteners passes out of a respective one of said positioning holes and presses against said second frame when said second frame is assembled to said first frame, and
- wherein each of said fasteners includes a fixing portion, and said side wall of said first frame is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves, each of which has a shape corresponding to that of said fixing portion, said fixing portion of each of said fasteners being inserted into a respective one of said limiting grooves to position each of said fasteners to said side wall of said first frame.
A backlight module comprising:
- a light bar;
- a light guide plate for receiving light emitted from said light bar;
- and
- a frame device including:
- a first frame including a base wall and a side wall extending transversely from one end of said base wall;
- said light bar and said light guide plate being received in said first frame;
- a plurality of fasteners disposed on said side wall opposite to said base wall;
- and
- a second frame assembled to said first frame and having a plurality of spaced-apart positioning holes,
- wherein a portion of each of said fasteners passes out of a respective one of said positioning holes and presses against said second frame when said second frame is assembled to said first frame,
- wherein each of said fasteners is capable of moving in a first direction prior to assembly of said second frame to said first frame, and the first direction is a direction extending along the thickness direction of said side wall of said first frame, and
- wherein said light bar is connected to said side wall such that each of said fasteners is restricted by said light bar and said side wall to prevent movement of each of said fasteners.
