Abstract
A backlight assembly includes a light source part, a light guide plate, a container, and a support member. The light source part has a light emitting surface to emit light, and the light guide plate has a light incident surface to guide light. The container includes a bottom portion and sidewalls to receive the light source part and the light guide plate. The support member pushes the light guide plate toward the bottom portion to more closely maintain the position of the light incident surface with respect to the light emitting surface. This helps to prevent misalignment between the light exist surface and the light incident surface, maintaining the quantity of light supplied to the light guide plate.
