Abstract:
A backlight assembly and a method of assembling the backlight assembly that includes a plurality of lamps having first and second electrodes, a receiving container and a lamp ground member. The receiving container has a bottom plate over which the lamps are disposed, and a side wall extending from the bottom plate to form a receiving space. The lamp ground member includes a ground plate grounded to the bottom plate, and a plurality of electrode ground portions protruded from the ground plate and making contact with the first electrode thereby eliminating the need for a separate part for grounding the first electrode of the lamp and permitting easier assembly of the backlight assembly.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps, a power supply unit, a receiving container and an adhesive member. The power supply unit applies a driving voltage to a first electrode part of each of the lamps. The lamps are disposed parallel to the bottom plate of the receiving container. A ground part makes contact with a second electrode part of each of the lamps. The adhesion member secures the second electrode part to the ground part.
Abstract:
A lamp fixing unit capable of simplifying the manufacture of a backlight assembly by eliminating the need for manual procedures is presented. The lamp fixing unit includes a fixing member and a lamp holder. The fixing member includes a fixing body and at least one receiving portion. The lamp holder includes a holder body and a conductive socket. The holder body includes a board insertion portion, a power supply member, and a lamp fixing member. Thus, the power supply member may be easily coupled to and uncoupled from the lamp holder, and the lamp may be easily grounded.
Abstract:
A lamp fixing member includes a first body part and a second body part. The first body part includes at least one first lamp fixing portion disposed on an upper surface of the first body part. The second body part is slidably combined with the first body part. The second body part includes a second lamp fixing portion being combined with the first lamp fixing portion and defining a space through which a lamp is inserted to be fixed.
Abstract:
A light guiding plate capable of minimizing a thickness of a backlight assembly and an LCD device, a backlight assembly and an LCD device having the same are provided. The light guiding plate has a light incident surface, a light reflection surface having a plurality of dots for diffusing and reflecting the light emitted from the light incident surface and a light output surface having a predetermined roughness and further diffusing the light diffused and reflected by the light reflection surface. Thus, a conventional diffusion sheet disposed above the light guiding plate may be removed.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly with excellent light efficiency and a display device provided with the backlight assembly is provided where the backlight assembly includes a plurality of light sources longitudinally arranged in parallel to each other, and a fixing member receiving the plurality of light sources. When a display area, formed by light emitted from the plurality of light sources, is divided by the plurality of light sources into a plurality of display area sections, an average area of the display area sections between light sources adjacent to each other is less than or equal to an area of a display area section between an edge of the display area and the light source most adjacent thereto.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes at least one lamp including a lamp electrode, at least one lamp socket holding the lamp, an inverter applying electric power to the lamp, and a receiving container including a socket receiving portion corresponding to an end portion of the lamp to receive the lamp socket and an inverter receiving portion for receiving the inverter. Therefore, a manufacturing process may be simplified, and manufacturing costs is decreased.
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 backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps, a receiving container and a conductive member. Each of the lamps includes a lamp body, a first electrode part disposed at a first end portion of the lamp body and a second electrode part disposed at a second end portion of the lamp body, the second end portion being opposite to the first end portion. The receiving container includes a bottom plate on which the lamps are disposed and a sidewall disposed at edge portions of the bottom plate to define a receiving space. The receiving container has a plurality of grounding portions formed on the bottom plate or the sidewalls. The conductive member electrically connects the second electrode part to one of the grounding portions.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display capable of being minimized, in which a backlight assembly has a light source portion for generating light, a liquid crystal display panel receives the light from the backlight assembly to display images. A mold frame for sequentially accepting the backlight assembly and liquid crystal display panel is formed to be gradually thinner as further advancing from a first side of accepting to place the light source portion toward a second side opposing to the first side. Also, a chassis coupled to be opposite to the mold frame for closely fixing the backlight assembly and liquid crystal display panel to the mold frame is formed to be gradually thinner as further advancing from the first side of accepting to place the light source portion toward the second side opposing to the first side. Thus, the liquid crystal display can be slimmed.
