  • Patent number: 7116386
    Abstract: A receptacle assembly that receives a back light assembly and a display unit of a liquid crystal display device is disclosed. The receptacle assembly for receiving the back light assembly comprises a first receptacle module and a second receptacle module engaged with the rear surface of the first receptacle module to support the first receptacle module. The first receptacle module and the second receptacle module are formed of plastic and metal respectively. Therefore, the distortion that can be generated by the exterior impact and the vibration and the deflection due to the heat can be prevented. Further, the productivity is improved by simplifying the engaging structure of the receptacle assembly, and the size stability is improved.

  • Publication number: 20060203464
    Abstract: A backlight assembly with excellent light efficiency and a display device provided with the backlight assembly is provided where the backlight assembly includes a plurality of light sources longitudinally arranged in parallel to each other, and a fixing member receiving the plurality of light sources. When a display area, formed by light emitted from the plurality of light sources, is divided by the plurality of light sources into a plurality of display area sections, an average area of the display area sections between light sources adjacent to each other is less than or equal to an area of a display area section between an edge of the display area and the light source most adjacent thereto.

  • Publication number: 20040263716
    Abstract: Disclosed is an LCD apparatus for reducing a whole size thereof. The LCD apparatus includes a lamp unit (700), a light guiding unit (800) having a projecting surface, a reflecting surface, and a side surface, and a receiving unit having a sidewall and a bottom prolonged from the sidewall. The lamp unit (700) is disposed between the side surface of the light guiding unit (800) and the sidewall of the receiving unit so that the side surface is surrounded by means of the lamp unit (700). The size of the LCD device can be reduced, and a thickness increase of the LCD apparatus may be prevented while obtaining an enough amount of the light to display an image. Further, the light is uniformly distributed over the whole surface of the light guiding unit (800), and it can prevent the parts of the circuits of the display unit (200) from being damaged.
