  • Publication number: 20100277405
    Abstract: In a container for a display device, a method of manufacturing the same, and a display device including the container, the container includes an inner layer including carbon of about 0.001 wt % to about 0.1 wt %, silicon of about 0.002 wt % to about 0.05 wt %, manganese of about 0.3 wt % to about 2 wt %, impurities of about 0.08 wt % to about 0.29 wt % based on a total weight of the inner layer and a remainder of iron, a plating layer formed on the inner layer and including electric zinc, and a polymer chrome-free layer formed on the plating layer. Thus, a weight and a thickness of the container may be reduced so that the container may have a light weight and a thin thickness.

  • Publication number: 20090323371
    Abstract: In a light source apparatus, a method of manufacturing the light source and a backlight assembly having the same, a light guide plate (LGP) includes an upper surface and a lower surface facing each other and a first side surface and a second side surface. The light source is placed in the LGP adjacent to the first side surface and emits light toward the second side surface. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the light source and partially placed in the LGP. The light source may include a lamp or a light-emitting diode (LED). The power supply unit may include a wire or a power supply substrate. The light source apparatus may be formed by an injection molding process using lower and upper mold frames. Therefore, backlight assembly size, the number of parts and manufacturing steps may be decreased, and the illumination quality may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20060193040
    Abstract: An optical unit includes a body, diffusion members and control members. The diffusion members are disposed in the body to diffuse incident light. The control members are disposed in the body to produce diffusion members having substantially uniform sizes. Thus, the optical unit has an enhanced light-diffusing characteristic, thereby improving the uniformity of luminance of light emitted from the optical unit.

  • Publication number: 20060178267
    Abstract: In a receiving container, a method for manufacturing the receiving container, a backlight assembly having the receiving container and a display device having the backlight assembly, the receiving container includes sidewalls, a first protrusion and second protrusions. The sidewalls are connected with each other. The first protrusion inwardly extends from inner side faces of the sidewalls. A display panel is positioned on the first protrusion. Second protrusions upwardly extend from at least one of the sidewalls. The display panel is fixed by the second protrusions. The second protrusion has a burr-receiving portion receiving a burr due to a residual of a melted resin.

  • Publication number: 20060133109
    Abstract: The light diffusion member includes a light diffusing body and a light diffusing layer. The light diffusing body includes a polymer mixture obtained by uniformly blending a first polymer having a first glass transition temperature and a second polymer having a second transition temperature higher than the first transition temperature. Alternatively, the light diffusing body includes a copolymer prepared from the first and the second polymer. The light diffusing body diffuses an incident light through a light exiting surface. The light diffusing layer is formed on the light exiting surface of the light diffusing body and includes a binder resin having beads. A back light assembly including the light diffusion member and a liquid crystal display device including the light diffusion member exhibit an improved luminance and an improved light diffusing efficiency.
