Abstract
An impact-resistant structure for a light source of a flat panel display device is disclosed. The impact-resistant structure for protecting a light source mainly includes a reflector having an accommodating space and at least a protrusion located at the two ends of the reflector. The two protrusions can effectively absorb or buffer off the impact caused from the movement of a light guide plate without blocking light from the light source. A similar protective structure of a light cover having stoppers and an accommodating space for locating reflector is also disclosed.
