Abstract
In a backlight assembly and a liquid crystal display apparatus, the backlight assembly has lamps parallel to each other to emit a light, a receiving container having a bottom portion and a side portion to receive the lamps, and a mold member coupled to the receiving container to cover the ends of the lamps. The mold member has a reflecting face having a diffusion pattern that reflects the light from the lamps and an upper face extending from the reflecting face in a plane substantially parallel to the bottom portion. Thus, a shadow portion of the backlight assembly may be removed, to thereby enhance image display quality of the liquid crystal display apparatus.
