A display device is provided. The display device includes: a display panel; a light source assembly; a light guide plate (LGP); a mold frame; and a bottom chassis. The light source assembly includes a light source configured to generate light and a circuit board on which the light source is mounted. The LGP includes an incident surface upon which the light generated by the light source is incident and an exit surface configured to output the light incident through the incident surface toward the display panel. The mold frame includes a sidewall and a protrusion which protrudes inward from the sidewall. The bottom chassis includes a bottom portion and a sidewall portion and houses the mold frame, the LGP and the light source assembly. The display panel is placed on an upper surface of the protrusion, at least a portion of the circuit board is disposed between a lower surface of the protrusion and the bottom portion, and an upper surface of the light source does not overlap the protrusion.
