Abstract
A display device includes a display panel, a plurality of optical sheets disposed under the display panel, a light guiding plate disposed under the optical sheets and including a light guiding protrusion protruding toward a side direction from a light guiding corner, and a support frame for supporting the display panel and including a protrusion cover in the frame corner to cover the light guiding protrusion. The height of an upper surface of the protrusion cover is preferably no less than the height of an upper surface of the optical sheets. The display device prevents the problem in molding of the protrusion cover of the support frame by increasing the thickness of the protrusion cover. Accordingly, a small-sized thin film light guiding plate can be applied to the display device so that luminance of the display device can be improved, and the thickness of the display device can be reduced.
