A display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a light source unit and a housing accommodating the light source unit. The light source unit includes a light source part and a light source supporting member supporting the light source part. The housing includes an insertion accommodating part provided in a bottom surface of the housing. The light source supporting member includes a planar main body, a light source holder and an insertion part protruding from the main body toward the housing to be coupled to the insertion accommodating part. The insertion part includes an engagement part and a connecting part. The insertion part is inserted in the insertion accommodating part and the light source supporting member is rotated at a predetermined angle.

A backlight assembly includes a receiving container, lamps, a diffusion plate and a lamp-fixing member. The receiving container includes a bottom plate and sidewalls together providing a receiving space. The lamps are arranged substantially parallel to each other on the bottom plate. The diffusion plate is disposed over the lamps. The lamp-fixing member includes a body portion extending substantially perpendicular to the lamps, a buffer protruding upwardly from the body portion, a diffusion plate supporting portion protruding from the buffer to support the diffusion plate and a lamp-fixing portion formed at the body portion to fix the lamps. Therefore, the buffer having elasticity is formed at an area at which the diffusion plate supporting portion is formed, so that rubbing between the diffusion plate and the diffusion plate supporting portion may be reduced.
