  • Patent number: 10845644
    Abstract: A backlight for a display device and a display device including the backlight are disclosed. The backlight includes a light guide plate; a light emitting diode substrate; a frame member; and a plurality of adhesive materials spaced apart from each other. The light emitting diode substrate includes a substrate; and a plurality of light emitting diodes fixed to the substrate. The plurality of light emitting diodes are oriented to face a side surface of the light guide plate. A frame member is disposed facing a surface of the substrate that is opposite the plurality of light emitting diodes. In a side sectional view, the plurality of adhesive materials is spaced apart from each other along a length direction of the frame member. The length direction corresponds to a major dimension of the frame member.
