Abstract

A flat panel display and backlight module thereof. The backlight module comprises a frame, a flexible printed circuit board, and at least one electrical connection port. The flexible printed circuit board is encircled by the frame. The electrical connection port is disposed on the flexible printed circuit board, connecting the flexible printed circuit board and an external printed circuit board.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A backlight module, comprising: 
 a frame;    a circuit board, encircled by the frame; and    at least one electrical connection port, disposed on, the circuit board, connecting the circuit board and an external circuit board.    
   
   
       2 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises at least one opening, corresponding to the electrical connection port passing through the opening and exposed to the outside of the frame.  
   
   
       3 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electrical connection port comprises an elastic conductor.  
   
   
       4 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the elastic conductor comprises a metal elastic plate.  
   
   
       5 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electrical connection port is curved.  
   
   
       6 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electrical connection port comprises bare copper.  
   
   
       7 . The backlight module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the circuit board comprises a flexible printed circuit board or printed circuit board.  
   
   
       8 . A flat panel display, comprising: 
 a first circuit board;    a first electrical connection port, disposed on a surface of the first circuit board;    a backlight module, connected to the first circuit board, comprising: 
 a frame;  
 a second circuit board, encircled by the frame; and  
 a second electrical connection port, disposed on a surface of the second circuit board; wherein the first electrical connection port contacts the second electrical connection port, connecting the second circuit board and the first circuit board; and  
   a panel, connected to the second circuit board.    
   
   
       9 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the first circuit board comprises a flexible printed circuit board or printed circuit board.  
   
   
       10 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the second circuit board comprises a flexible printed circuit board or printed circuit board.  
   
   
       11 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the frame further comprises an opening, corresponding to the second electrical connection port, passing through the opening, exposed to the outside of the frame, and protruding toward the first circuit board.  
   
   
       12 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the second electrical connection port is curved.  
   
   
       13 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the first electrical connection port comprises bare copper, and the second electrical connection port comprises an elastic conductor, protruding toward the first circuit board.  
   
   
       14 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the elastic conductor comprises a metal elastic plate.  
   
   
       15 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first electrical connection port comprises an elastic conductor, protruding toward the backlight module, and the second electrical connection port comprises bare copper.  
   
   
       16 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the elastic conductor comprises metal elastic plate.  
   
   
       17 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first electrical connection port is curved, protruding to the backlight module, and the second electrical connection port comprises bare copper.  
   
   
       18 . The flat panel display as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the panel comprises a liquid crystal panel.
