ABSTRACT:
A thermal module includes a plurality of heat dissipation units. Each of the heat dissipation units includes a main portion, a head portion, and a neck portion interconnecting the main portion and the head portion. Each main portion includes a base, a plurality of fins disposed on the base, a first latch and second latch respectively disposed on the two outermost fins. The first latch of the heat dissipation unit can be mounted into the second latch of the adjacent heat dissipation unit, and the second latch of the heat dissipation unit can be mounted into the first latch of the other adjacent heat dissipation unit, thereby the plurality of heat dissipation units are assembled. The size of the thermal module can be adjusted easily, and it is convenient to substitute the damaged light source module. This thermal module can be used in a backlight system.
