In the support structure of the embodiment, the support column is employed to support the diffusing plate, the clamping hook is employed to pass through a mounting hole on a back plate, and then the support structure is moved to cause a locking hole to engage with the protrusion and accomplish the engagement and locking operation. The support structure is used for a direct-type backlight, and at the time of overhaul and alternatively maintenance, it suffices to reversely move the support structure. The direct-type backlight of the embodiments of the disclosure is suitable for various display devices.
In an embodiment, there is provided a support structure 30, as shown in
In the support structure 30 of the embodiment, the support column is employed to support the diffusing plate 1, the clamping hook 304 is employed to pass through a mounting hole 201 on the back plate 2, and then the support structure 30 is moved to cause a locking hole 202 to engage with the protrusion 3043 and accomplish the engagement and locking operation. The support structure 30 is used for a direct-type backlight, and at the time of overhaul and alternatively maintenance, it suffices to reversely move the support structure 30. The direct-type backlight of the embodiments of the disclosure is suitable for various display devices.
Optionally, the support structure 30 comprises at least two clamping hooks 304, as shown in
Generally, the batten 303 is designed to be long strip shaped. Since two points may fix a straight line, that two clamping hooks 304 are arranged on one batten 303 may substantially fix the support structure 30.
Optionally, the strip parts 3042 of the at least two clamping hooks 304 are arranged in parallel to each other, as shown in
The use of the strip parts 3042 arranged in parallel to each other may facilitate installation and disassembly.
Optionally, the support structure 30 comprises one clamping hook 304, as shown in
After the single clamping hook 304 is inserted into a mounting hole, the support structure 30 is rotated around an axis perpendicular to the lower surface, and then the protrusion 3043 of the clamping hook 304 may engage with a locking hole.
