A backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps, a receiving container and a conductive member. Each of the lamps includes a lamp body, a first electrode part disposed at a first end portion of the lamp body and a second electrode part disposed at a second end portion of the lamp body, the second end portion being opposite to the first end portion. The receiving container includes a bottom plate on which the lamps are disposed and a sidewall disposed at edge portions of the bottom plate to define a receiving space. The receiving container has a plurality of grounding portions formed on the bottom plate or the sidewalls. The conductive member electrically connects the second electrode part to one of the grounding portions.

Backlight assembly and display device having the same

A backlight assembly generating less noise after power is turned ON or OFF, and a liquid crystal display device comprising the backlight assembly. The backlight assembly includes an alignment plate having a plurality of socket insertion holes each having socket insertion hole sidewalls, wherein at least one projection is formed on an inner surface of a socket insertion hole sidewall. An outer surface of a socket inserted into the socket insertion hole comes into physical contact with the projection.

Backlight assembly and liquid crystal display including the same

A supporting member for a liquid crystal display device comprises a base substrate, a lamp clip protruded from the base substrate in a first direction to hold a lamp that generates light, a supporting part protruded from the base substrate in the first direction to support a diffusion member that diffuses the light generated from the lamp, and a fixing clip protruded from the base substrate in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction, wherein the fixing clip combines with a receiving container.

Supporting member for liquid crystal display device, backlight assembly having the same and liquid crystal display device having the same

A display module of an LCD device having a rear case shaped as a four-cornered container having sidewalls on each of its four edges; a backlight assembly formed by depositing and fixing a reflector plate, a light guide plate, and a series of sheets onto a mold frame where a lamp assembly receiving portion, a gate PCB receiving portion, and a source PCB receiving portion are integrally formed; an LCD panel module having an upper panel, a lower panel coupled to the upper panel with a liquid crystal inserted therebetween, a gate PCB electrically connected to an end portion of the lower panel, and a source PCB electrically connected to another end portion of the lower panel and has a conductive pattern for an electric signal to be applied to an inverter; a main chassis which defines an active screen area of the LCD panel module and couples the mold frame and the LCD panel module to the rear case; and a front case coupled to the main chassis and covering a whole surface of the LCD panel module excluding the active screen area.

Liquid crystal display module and an assembly method therefor

A backlight assembly includes a container, a plurality of lamps and a lamp-fixing member. The container includes a bottom face and side faces extending therefrom that define a receiving space. The lamps are arranged in parallel with each other in the container. The lamp-fixing member includes a support body installed in the container and arranged in a direction intersecting a lengthwise direction of extension of each of the lamps, a lamp-fixing portion protruding from the support body and covering a respective lamp, and a boss protruding from an inner face of the lamp-fixing portion and extending toward a center of the respective lamp to fix the respective lamp with a corresponding lamp-fixing portion via a point or line contact. Thus, a local decrease in temperature of the lamp covered by the lamp-fixing portion may be prevented to improve image display quality by preventing or eliminating dark spots.
