Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel which receives a light to display an image, a backlight unit which provides the light to the display panel, and a first protection member accommodating the backlight unit therein. The first protection member includes a bottom part, an inclined part connected to an edge of the bottom part and bent upward at a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom part, a connection part connected to an edge of the inclined part, and a first sidewall part connected to an edge of the connection part and extending upward. The display panel, the backlight unit, the bottom part and the connection part have a curved surface shape in a first direction and have a flat shape in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: A curved display device includes a display panel including a display area. The display panel sequentially includes first, second and third segments. The display panel is curved along a first direction with a first curvature radius in the second segment, and is either flat or curved in each of the first and third segments with a second curvature radius, different from the first curvature radius. Each ratio of the first and third segments to a sum of the first, second, and the third segments in length is about 1% to about 35%.

Abstract: A backlight assembly includes a first light source part including a plurality of light sources and extending in a first direction, a second light source part including a plurality of light sources, wherein the second light source part is spaced apart from and in parallel with the first light source part, and a driving part disposed between the first light source part and the second light source part. The driving part is connected to the first and second light source parts, and is configured to drive the light sources of the first and second light source parts.

Abstract: A display module of a display device includes a display panel, a middle frame configured to seat and fix the display panel, an upper receiving frame including a front part covering an edge part of an upper surface of the display panel and a side part covering the side surfaces of the display panel and the middle frame and a one-sided conductive rubber pad located between the upper receiving frame and the display panel. The one-sided conductive rubber pad includes a conductive first surface and a non-conductive second surface facing each other, the first surface faces the display panel, and the second surface is in contact with the upper receiving frame.

Abstract: A display device includes first light emitting devices arranged in a line in a protective member, second light emitting devices parallel to and alternately arranged with the first light emitting devices, and optical member supporters in the protective member between the first and second light emitting devices. Each optical member supporter is positioned at a center of a parallelogram defined by two adjacent first light emitting devices and two adjacent second light emitting devices, and each transparent optical member supporter includes a first surface that faces one of the first light emitting devices and a second surface opposite the first surface that faces one of the second light emitting devices. Each optical member supporter includes a plate portion having the first and second surfaces, and a hook portion that extends through the protective member. A width of the plate portion decreases with increasing distance from the hook portion.

Abstract: Provided are a lamp socket structured to realize a slimmer display device, and a display device having the lamp socket. The lamp socket includes: a body portion; a connection terminal for connection of the lamp socket to a terminal of a lamp; a compliant portion which connects the body portion and the connection terminal and includes a first portion connected to the connection terminal and a second portion connected to the body portion; and one or more fixing portions which extend from the body portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion at least partially overlap each other.
