Abstract

The present invention discloses a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a backplane of a back light module thereof. The LCD comprises a back cover, one or more circuit boards and a backplane of a back light module. One or more circuit board attaching devices for attaching the circuit boards are arranged on the interior sidewall of the back cover and void spaces for avoiding the circuit boards are arranged at the corresponding position of the backplane. As the circuit boards installed prior to this invention on the backplane is now installed on the back cover instead, the backplane of the back light module of the LCD is not provided with the bumps for attaching the circuit boards any more; the structure of the backplane and the manufacturing process of the backplane are simpler. Furthermore, as the back cover is insulated, the bumps are not arranged, and the circuit boards can be attached by simple circuit board attaching devices, significantly simplifying the process.

Claims

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

a back cover;

one or more circuit boards;

one or more backplanes without bumps formed thereon of a back light module;

one or more circuit board attaching devices for attaching the circuit boards, said circuit board attaching devices being disposed on an interior sidewall of the back cover; and

one or more void spaces for avoiding the circuit boards, said void spaces being disposed at a corresponding positions of the backplane, each size of the void space being not less than that of each corresponding circuit board, wherein said backplane comprises more than two backplane sheets that are joined to form the backplane at a horizontal direction.

2. A LCD of claim 1, wherein said positions of the backplane corresponding to the circuit boards attached on the back cover are hollow and the hollow positions are the void spaces.

3. A LCD of claim 2, wherein said backplane comprises an upper backplane sheet, a lower backplane sheet, two side backplane sheets and a middle backplane sheet;

the upper backplane sheet, the lower backplane sheet and the two side backplane sheets are joined into a frame at a horizontal direction;

the middle backplane sheet is arranged in the middle of the backplane and is respectively joined with the upper backplane sheet and the lower backplane sheet; and

hollow void spaces are formed between the middle backplane sheet and the two side backplane sheets respectively.

4. A LCD of claim 1, wherein said circuit board attaching devices arranged on the back cover are circuit board attaching structures integrally formed on the back cover, and the circuit boards are attached to the back cover.

5. A backplane of a back light module of a LCD, wherein one or more void spaces are arranged at the positions of a backplane without bumps formed thereon corresponding to circuit boards attached on the back cover of a LCD device, each size of the void space being not less than that of each corresponding circuit board, wherein said positions of the backplane corresponding to the circuit boards attached on the back cover are hollow and the hollow positions are the void spaces, wherein said backplane comprises more than two backplane sheets that are joined to form the backplane at a horizontal direction.

6. A backplane of a back light module of a LCD of claim 5, wherein said backplane comprises an upper backplane sheet, a lower backplane sheet, two side backplane sheets and a middle backplane sheet;

the upper backplane sheet, the lower backplane sheet and the two side backplane sheets are joined into a frame at a horizontal direction;

the middle backplane sheet is arranged in the middle of the backplane and is respectively joined with the upper backplane sheet and the lower backplane sheet; and

hollow void spaces are formed between the middle backplane sheet and the two side backplane sheets respectively.

7. A backplane of a back light module of a LCD of claim 5, wherein said backplane sheets are joined by a method of laser welding.
