Abstract

A supporting mechanism of a backlight module includes a first member, a second member, and a connector connecting the first and second members. The first member has an initial thickness and the second member also has an initial thickness. The initial thickness of the first member is greater than that of the second member and the first member is longer than the second member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A supporting structure, comprising: 
 a first member having an initial thickness;    a second member having an initial thickness; and    a connector located between the first member and second member to butt therebetween,    wherein the initial thickness of the first member is greater than that of the second member, and the length of the first member is greater than that of the second member.    
   
   
       2 . The supporting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first member and second member are made of the same material.  
   
   
       3 . The supporting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first member and second member are metal.  
   
   
       4 . The supporting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connector is a welding material.  
   
   
       5 . The supporting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connector is glue.  
   
   
       6 . The supporting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first member, the second member and the connector are formed into one piece.  
   
   
       7 . A supporting mechanism for a backlight module, comprising: 
 a first member having an initial thickness and at least one fixing portion configured to connect with the backlight module;    a second member having an initial thickness; and    a connector located between the first member and the second member to butt therebetween,    wherein the initial thickness of the first member is greater than that of the second member; and the length of the first member is greater than that of the second member.    
   
   
       8 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first member and the second member are metal.  
   
   
       9 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the connector is a welding material.  
   
   
       10 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the connector is glue.  
   
   
       11 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a protrusion.  
   
   
       12 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a hole.  
   
   
       13 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a protrusion and a hole.  
   
   
       14 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second member has at least a fixing portion.  
   
   
       15 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the fixing portion of the second member comprises a hole.  
   
   
       16 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the fixing portion of the second member comprises a protrusion.  
   
   
       17 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the fixing portion of the second member comprises a protrusion and a hole.  
   
   
       18 . The supporting mechanism for a backlight module as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first member, the second member and the connector are formed into one piece.
