Abstract: Light guide plate and a display device having the same. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display device comprising a light guide plate (LGP) comprising a base, sidewalls which protrude from a surface of the base, and covers which protrude towards a center of the base, and a display panel disposed on the LGP.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has an improved end reinforcing structure of a chassis. The liquid crystal display device comprises: a liquid crystal panel for realizing an image; a backlight unit for irradiating a backlight on the liquid crystal panel; a mold frame for storing the backlight unit; a first chassis for supporting the mold frame and including a hemming processor which is bent at an end of the first chassis so as to have a double thickness; and a reinforcing member installed so that the thickness of the hemming processor is increased. Accordingly, the intensity of the end of the first chassis may be increased, thereby guaranteeing strong durability against an external shock.

Abstract: A display device comprises: a display panel for displaying an image; a plurality of optical sheets disposed under the display panel; a light guiding plate disposed under the optical sheets, and including a light guiding protrusion protruding toward a side direction from a light guiding corner; a support frame for supporting the display panel, and including a protrusion cover in the frame corner to cover the light guiding protrusion; and a receiving member for supporting the support frame and the light guiding plate. The height of an upper surface of the protrusion cover is preferably no less than the height of an upper surface of the optical sheets. Thus, the display device prevents the problem in molding of the protrusion cover of the support frame, covering the light guiding protrusion of the light guiding plate, due to a slim thickness of the protrusion cover by increasing the thickness of the protrusion cover.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a backlight unit having improved luminance and uniformity, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) including the backlight unit. A backlight unit according to the invention comprises a light source and a light guide panel having a light receiving portion which receives light emitted from the light source and which has a pattern including a plurality of protrusions. Each of the protrusions has inclined surfaces forming an angle with respect to the tangential direction of the light receiving portion. The inclined surfaces include a first inclined surface relatively close to the center of the light receiving portion and a second inclined surface relatively close to the edge of the light receiving portion. A first inclination angle formed by the first inclined surface with respect to the tangential direction of the light receiving portion is smaller at the edge of the light receiving portion than at the center of the light receiving portion.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display that can be slimly formed. The liquid crystal display may include: a liquid crystal display panel; a backlight unit including: a light source; and a light guide plate receiving light emitted from the light source and diffusing the received light; and a frame receiving the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit. The frame includes: a chassis including a bottom part and a side wall, the bottom part having insertion holes; and a molding that is combined with the chassis through the insertion holes. In addition, the bottom part of the chassis is formed with protrusions adjacent to the insertion holes and the protrusions protrude in a direction opposite to a direction in which the molding is combined with the insertion holes of the chassis.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) that includes: an LCD panel; a backlight unit that includes a light source and a light guide plate; and a frame that houses the LCD panel and the backlight unit. The frame includes first support members that at least partially form opposing sides of the frame, and a first guide unit that includes protrusions that project inside the frame, to separate the LCD panel from the first support members.
