Abstract
A backlight assembly having an improved heat releasing structure and a display device having the backlight assembly are provided. The backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps emitting light and a fixing member receiving the plurality of lamps. A separating member protruding from an edge of the fixing member defines an inner space that contains the light-lamp portions in the fixing member, and the separating member separates electrodes of the lamps from the inner space. The separating member has openings that are positioned to direct the heat generated by the lamp electrodes away from the inner space where the excess heat can cause display quality deterioration.
