Abstract:
Provided are a hollow mold for receiving a liquid crystal panel and a diffuser plate, the hollow mold capable of automating an assembling process of a liquid crystal display (LCD) and fixing a reflective sheet, and an LCD including the hollow mold. The hollow mold includes an outer side surface; a top surface; an inner side surface comprising a first step which is formed in a stepped shape, defines an upper receiving space and performs a supporting function, a second step which defines a lower receiving space and performs the supporting function, and an inclined surface which slopes downward from the second step; and a bottom surface.
Abstract:
A flat-type fluorescent lamp includes a first substrate, a second substrate and an adhesive member. The second substrate corresponds to the first substrate to form a plurality of discharge spaces. The adhesive member is interposed between the first and second substrates to combine the first substrate with the second substrate. The adhesive member includes a protrusion protruding in a longitudinal direction of the discharge spaces. Therefore, luminance uniformity and image display quality are improved.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a receiving container, a flat fluorescent lamp and a heat generating sheet. The flat fluorescent lamp is received in the receiving container. The flat fluorescent lamp includes a plurality of discharge spaces to generate light. The heat generating sheet is positioned adjacent to the flat fluorescent lamp, for example, under the flat fluorescent lamp, to supply the flat fluorescent lamp with heat. The heat generating sheet corresponds to an effective light emitting region of the flat fluorescent lamp where the light is emitted. As a result, heat is provided to the flat fluorescent lamp, thereby decreasing a time for stabilizing a luminance and improving light emitting characteristics.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a light emitting part, a light guide plate and a lower receiving container. The light guide plate includes a side surface and a light exiting surface. The lower receiving container includes a heat sinking part and a rigid part having a strength greater than the heat sinking part.
Abstract:
Provided is a liquid crystal display (LCD) with improved heat dissipation and reduced thickness. The LCD includes for an embodiment: a lower housing; a heat-dissipating member which is disposed in the lower housing; a plurality of point light sources which are disposed on the heat-dissipating member; a plurality of electric wires which supply power to the point light sources; and a light guide plate (LGP) which is disposed in the lower housing in such a way that side surfaces of the LGP face the point light sources.
Abstract:
An LCD module including an LCD panel and a backlight unit disposed under the LCD panel is provided. The backlight unit has a bottom chassis, a lamp, a socket, and a balance board. The bottom chassis receives the lamp, the socket, and the balance board therein. The balance board is fixed to the bottom chassis. The socket is coupled with the balance board and the lamp.
Abstract:
A lamp socket that can reduce the thickness of both sides of a display device includes a socket main body having a contact hole formed therein, and a power-applying member coupled to the socket main body through the contact hole, and provided with a lamp connection terminal, an inverter connection terminal, and a terminal connection part connected with the lamp connection terminal in a bent form so as to connect the lamp connection terminal with the inverter connection terminal. Accordingly, the thickness of both sides of the display device including the lamp sockets is reduced, and the compatibility of the product is extended.
Abstract:
