  • Patent number: 10613270
    Abstract: Disclosed is a display apparatus having a liquid crystal panel to display images; a light source to supply light to the liquid crystal panel; and a printed circuit board having a light source embedding unit in which the light source is embedded, and a connector mounting unit at which a connector configured to connect to an outside circuit is mounted. The printed circuit board is bent such that the connector mounting unit may be positioned lower than or offset from the light source embedding unit. The printed circuit board may be bent such that the connector may not be protruded further upward than the height of an upper surface of the light source embedding unit, and thus the thickness of the display apparatus may be improved.
