Abstract
A backlight assembly includes a light-guiding plate and a light-generating member. The light-guiding plate has a lower surface, an upper surface and a side surface at which a combining recess is formed. The light-generating member includes a light source and a body. The combining recess has a first side surface, a second side surface facing the first side surface and a light-entering surface connected to the first and second side surfaces. A first width of the combining recess adjacent to the side surface of the light-guiding plate is smaller than a second width of the combining recess adjacent to the light-entering surface. Moreover, at least a portion of the body of the light-generating member is for being inserted into the combining recess.
