摘要 |
The invention relates to a backlight module for backlighting an LCD-display unit, comprising holding means for holding a number of substantially longitudinal fluorescent lamps, wherein each of the lamps comprises a glass envelope, supply means for energizing said lamps, and cooling means for removing at least part of the heat developed by the lamps, wherein the cooling means comprise at least a first metal heat-conducting body which is thermally coupled to the glass envelope of at least one the lamps, and wherein the cooling means are in contact with only a limited surface area of the glass envelope of said at least one lamp. The provision of a heat-conducting body renders it possible to relocate the control mechanism further away, so that a screening of the light-emitting surface of the lamp is reduced. This holds good for any possible control equipment and for other voluminous parts of the heat-conducting systems. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
