Patent number: 10401559Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel; a lower frame including a bottom portion and side portions; a light source unit extending along a first side portion of the lower frame; a light guide plate including a light opposing surface opposing a light incident surface in a first direction; a first auxiliary frame in the lower frame to restrict movement of the light incident surface in the first direction; a second auxiliary frame fixable to the bottom portion of the lower frame to restrict movement of the light opposing surface in the first direction; and a coupling member with which the second auxiliary frame is fixed to the lower frame. The second auxiliary frame includes a through hole through which the coupling member is extendable, and a width of a head portion of the coupling member is larger than a width of the through hole.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG DISPLAY CO., LTD.Inventors: Sojeong La, Myoungseok Son, Sehee Jeon

Publication number: 20180039012Abstract: A display device includes a display module, a light guide plate, a light source disposed at a side of the light guide plate in a first direction, the light source including light source units arranged in a second direction, and a condensing sheet including reverse prisms. The display module includes first and second polarizing plates facing each other, a display unit including a liquid crystal layer, and a light-conversion structure. In a plan view, the light source units include first and second light source units, which are parallel to third and fourth directions, respectively. The third and fourth directions are at angles of +45° and ?45° to the first direction. Each reverse prism includes a base surface that is parallel to the plane and includes two sides parallel to the third and fourth directions, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Ho-sik SHIN, Hayoung LEE, Kyung-min KIM, Sehee JEON
