Abstract
A backlight assembly includes a light source, a light-guide plate and an integrally formed frame. The light-guide plate guides light generated from the light source. The integrally formed frame includes a chassis and a mold frame integrally combined with the chassis as an indivisible unitary element through insert/outsert injection. The integrally formed frame receives the light source and the light-guide plate. A hemming part is formed on a sidewall of the chassis to increase strength of the integrally formed frame. Therefore, the number of elements is decreased, and strength against bending stress, impact resistance and heat dissipation are improved.
