Patent number: 9905169Abstract: Provided is a display device capable of implementing a small size thereof by reducing a size of a frame and capable of implementing low cost. A source control circuit is formed integrally with a substrate being provided to a backlight frame and mounting a light-emitting diode. The substrate performs a function as a substrate for the light-emitting diode and a function as a substrate for the source control circuit. Since both functions are configured to be performed in one substrate, a frame area may be narrow, and a small-sized display device may be implemented.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: SAKAI DISPLAY PRODUCTS CORPORATIONInventor: Ryota Kobayashi
