Abstract: A backlight unit includes a light source module including a first connection pin and a second connection pin electrically connected to the first connection pin, a power converter which provides a driving voltage to the light source module, a connector which receives a first enable signal via a first signal line and provides a second enable signal via a second signal line and a driving circuit which controls a generation of the driving voltage from the power converter in response to the second enable signal. When the connector is electrically connected to the first and second connection pins, the first enable signal is transmitted to the first connection pin via the first signal line and the connector, and the second enable signal from the second connection pin is provided to the driving circuit via the connector and the second signal line.

Abstract: A cradle according to an embodiment may include a housing to be coupled to display modules having various sizes and a light source driver inside the housing. The light source driver may generate a first driving voltage and a second driving voltage to be provided to a light source of the display module coupled to the housing. When the display module has a first size, the light source driver may supply only the first driving voltage to the display module. When the display module has a second size, larger than the first size, the light source driver outputs both the first and second driving voltages to the display module.
