Abstract
A backlight assembly including direct-type lamps and an edge-type lamp and a liquid crystal display having the backlight assembly. The direct-type lamps are arranged with a predetermined interval to emit light, and the edge-type lamp is provided at a side portion of a light guide plate provided above or below the direct-type lamps. The light guide plate and a light guide pattern output light, which is emitted from the edge-type lamp, through a space between two adjacent direct-type lamps. The backlight assembly supplies light to the light receiving region such that brightness is uniformly distributed throughout the light receiving region regardless of the position of the direct-type lamps.
