Light source portion for backlight module, backlight module using the same, and connection structure of backlight module

摘要

A light source portion for a backlight module that emits light to be incident on an end face of an optical waveguide. The light source portion includes a circuit board having a mounting surface, and a light emitting device having a lead terminal to be connected to the mounting surface of the circuit board and emitting light in a direction parallel to the circuit board. The light emitting device is mounted on the circuit board in such a manner that a plate thickness of the circuit board falls within a range of a thickness of the light emitting device.
