Light source for flat panel display device and backlight module using the same

摘要

A light source for a flat panel display device is disclosed. The light source comprising: a lamp tube having a first connector at one end thereof and a second connector at the opposite end thereof; a first leading wire connecting with the first connector; a second leading wire connecting with the second connector; and an electric plug adapted for fixing the first leading wire and the second leading wire both extending from the second connector; wherein the length of the second leading wire between the second connector and the electric plug is longer than the length of the first leading wire between the second connector and the electric plug. Therefore, the major part of the applied stress on the wires can be substantially distributed through the first leading wire and the breakagE of the lamp tube at the area around the second connector can be effectively prevented.
