<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a corrosive gas from invading in an LED module to keep the intensity of the LED module from falling off for an extended period of time, and simplify the shape of a light guide plate and make it a productive "LED module for a backlight". <P>SOLUTION: The LED module for fixing an LED element, a light guide plate, various optical sheets, LCD, and the like are provided to form an LED module for a backlight that is to guide light from the LED module to the backside of the LCD via a light guide plate. The LED module fixes the LED element onto the FPC, fixes the FPC on a metallic frame so as to promote heat release, and closely seals and insulates the interior of the LED module from the outside by various methods. As this insulation method, a metallic frame for fixing an FPC is formed in an L shape, for example, and a cap of a transparent material is formed in an inverted L shape and put on its top, and is sealed together with the edge parts. Alternatively, the lower part of the light guide plate may be made concave, and the LED module may be tightly sealed therein. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
