Abstract
A backlight assembly includes a lamp, a light guide plate, a lamp holder, a lamp cover and a receiving container. The lamp generates light. The light guide plate guides the light generated from the lamp. The lamp holder holds an end portion of the lamp. The lamp holder includes an opening portion that exposes a portion of the lamp. The lamp cover receives the lamp holder holding the lamp and reflects the light generated from the lamp toward the light guide plate. The receiving container receives the light guide plate. Therefore, light-using efficiency is enhanced. Furthermore, a dark region displayed at edge portions of a conventional backlight assembly may be removed to enhance a display quality.
