Abstract
There is provided a backlight for an LCD, comprising a light-inducing plate installed on the bottom surface of the LCD, a lamp installed on one side portion of the light-inducing plate, to irradiate light to the LCD, and a lamp cover enclosing a part of the outer circumferential surface of the lamp, for reflecting the light from the LCD to the light-inducing plate, wherein the light-inducing plate and lamp cover are directly coupled with each other by a locking structure. Therefore, the simplification of the structure facilitates the backlight assembly, and the restriction on securing a space for receiving a conductive wire can be overcome.
