Abstract: A display device includes a touch panel, a display panel, a backlight assembly, a bottom chassis, and a rear cover. The display panel is coupled to the touch panel. The backlight assembly includes a light source to supply light to the display panel, and an optical sheet including a protrusion. The display panel is disposed between the touch panel and the backlight assembly. The bottom chassis includes extensions protruding from walls defining a cavity region to receive the display panel. The extensions support the touch panel. The rear cover is configured to receive the bottom chassis. The bottom chassis is disposed between the rear cover and the touch panel. One of the walls of the bottom chassis includes an opening. The protrusion is configured to engage the opening to couple the optical sheet to the bottom chassis.

Abstract: A light source unit includes a light source, and a light guide pipe formed in a columnar shape and including a plurality of grooves, to which light emitted from the light source is incident, wherein dimensions of the grooves further from the light source are different from dimensions of the grooves closer to the light source, respectively.

Abstract: A backlight assembly with enhanced reliability is presented. The backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps, a lamp clip and a shrink tube. The lamps generate light, and each of the lamps includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The lamp clip includes a body and a connecting portion. The body has a plurality of through-holes into which a portion of first electrodes of adjacent lamps is inserted. The connecting portion extends from an end portion of the body to be electrically connected to a lamp wire, wherein the lamp wire transmits a voltage to the portion of the first electrodes of the adjacent lamps. The shrink tube covers the lamp wire and the connecting portion. The shrink tube covers the connecting portion between the lamp clip and the lamp wire to prevent their separation even upon receiving an impact.

Abstract: A display device includes a first receiving container, a display panel, and a second receiving container. The first receiving container includes a receiving bottom portion and a receiving side portion. The receiving side portion extends from an edge of the receiving bottom portion. The receiving bottom portion and the receiving side portion together define a receiving space therein. The display panel is positioned in the first receiving container. The display panel is configured for displaying images. The second receiving container includes a panel support portion and a chassis side portion. The second receiving container is partially combined with the first receiving container. The panel support portion fixes an edge of the display panel. The chassis side portion extends from an edge of the panel support portion. The receiving container and the top chassis may be efficiently combined without aid of a screw.

Abstract: In a receiving container, a method for receiving a board and a display apparatus having the receiving container, the receiving container includes a bottom portion and a receiving member. The bottom portion includes a first region receiving the board having a first side face and a second side face that is opposite to the first side face and surrounds the first region. The receiving member including a first receiving portion protruded from the second region toward the first region to receive the first side face and a second receiving portion protruded from the second region toward the first region to receive the second side face.

Abstract: A close contact type image sensor having an improved structure and manufacturing process utilizes a body having integral reflective surfaces to eliminate assembly steps. The body and reflective surfaces are formed using different plastic materials in a single injection molding process. A material having highly reflective characteristics is used for the reflective surfaces. A light source is aligned with the reflective surface by pins in the sensor body which are inserted into holes in the light source. Alternatively, the light source can be mounted on a printed circuit board which has holes that are aligned with the pins. A self focusing lens is mounted in the body to focus reflected light onto a light detector which is mounted on a printed circuit board. A transparent cover piece is mounted in an opening in the body. Flat spring clips secure the printed circuit board to the body of the sensor.
