A backlight unit A backlight unit comprises first and second glass substrates, a resin layer between the first and second glass substrates, light sources on the first and second glass substrates, first and second transistors on the first and second glass substrates and electrically connected with the light sources, and spaced apart from each other, first conductive layers on a portion of an upper surface of the first glass substrate, second conductive layers on a portion of an upper surface of the second glass substrate, and third conductive layers on the first glass substrate, the second glass substrate, and the resin layer, wherein one of the third conductive layers is electrically connected with one of the first conductive layers and one of the second conductive layers and is on a portion of an upper surface of the resin layer.

Backlight unit and display device including the same

The present disclosure relates to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having a backlight unit. The backlight unit includes a light guide plate, a light source assembly positioned adjacent to a light-incident surface among lateral surfaces of the light guide plate, and an external tape covering the entire lateral surface of the light guide plate except the light-incident surface and parts of an upper surface and a lower surface of the light guide plate. Thus, the light efficiency of the backlight unit may be increased and the manufacturing costs reduced. Further, since the light efficiency of the backlight unit is increased, the luminance and power consumption of the liquid crystal display device can be improved.
