A display device includes: a curved display panel; at least one light source module configured to provide light to the display panel; a bottom case configured to accommodate the light source module; and at least one signal transmission unit connected to an end portion of the light source module, the signal transmission unit including at least one driving line transmitting a driving signal to the light source module and at least one base line transmitting a base signal.

Display device

A display device is disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a display panel including a first display panel and a second display panel. The display device also includes a first light source unit disposed to correspond to the first display panel, a second light source unit disposed to correspond to the second display panel, a direct current (DC)-DC converter configured to receive a driving power and generate a first light source driving voltage configured to drive the first light source unit, and a regulator configured to receive the driving power and generate a second light source driving voltage configured to drive the second light source unit.

A curved display device including: a display panel having a curvature; a frame which supports the display panel; and a control circuit coupled to the frame, where the control circuit includes a circuit board coupled to the frame, and an electronic element on a surface of the circuit board opposing the frame.

A backlight unit which significantly reduces overshoot of a light source driving current and audible noise includes a light source driven by a light source driving voltage, a light source controller controlling the light source driving voltage, and a soft starter generating a first soft start voltage by receiving a charge signal from the light source controller and outputting the first soft start voltage to the light source controller, and generating a second soft start voltage when the charge signal is not applied thereto and outputting the second soft start voltage to the light source controller.

Backlight unit

A backlight unit includes a light source; and a light-source driving unit configured to drive the light source and that includes a transformer. The transformer includes a core comprising a plurality of metal powders; and a plurality of coils embedded in the core. At least one coil has a diameter different from a diameter of another coil.

A backlight unit capable of substantially reducing a change in a level of a driving current includes: a light source; a static current switching element connected between the light source and a sensing node and controlling a driving current supplied to the light source; a sensing resistor connected between the sensing node and a ground; a static current controller controlling an operation of the static current switching element based on a sensing voltage from the sensing node and an externally supplied driving current control signal; and a driving current corrector generating the driving current control signal and correcting a level of the driving current control signal based on the sensing voltage.
