  • Patent number: 9207474
    Abstract: A lower case for a display apparatus includes a receiving part and a sidewall part. The receiving part has a planar bottom plate extending in a first direction and a side portion substantially perpendicular to and extending from the bottom plate in a second direction normal to the bottom plate. The sidewall part is disposed along an edge of the bottom plate that forms a first receiving space with the bottom plate for receiving a backlight assembly having a light source assembly. The sidewall part further includes a first sidewall not adjacent to the light source unit, a second sidewall adjacent to the light source unit, and a third receiving space surrounding the first receiving space for receiving a wire.

  • Patent number: 9192071
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display module, a case and a combining member. The display module includes a display panel and a lower receiving container having a first bottom portion through which a hole is formed. The lower receiving container receives the display panel. The case receives the display module and includes a second bottom portion through which a guide rail hole is formed. The case covers at least a portion of the first bottom portion of the lower receiving container. The combining member is inserted into the hole and the guide rail hole to combine the first bottom portion of the lower receiving container and the second bottom portion of the case, and slides in the guide rail hole in a direction substantially parallel with a plane of the second bottom portion. As a result, a bezel and a thickness of the display apparatus can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 6836303
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light guide plate for improving front visual angle characteristics. Either a pyramidal recession having at least three sidewalls and a predetermined depth or a pyramidal protrusion having at least three sidewalls and a predetermined height is formed on a light emitting surface of the light guide plate. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the brightness of the front visual angle without using a prism and diffusion sheets or with a reduced number of prism sheets. Also, an LCD apparatus using the light guide plate has a reduced weight and volume compared with conventional LCDs.
