Abstract
A curved display apparatus includes a curved display panel, a curved bottom sash disposed at a rear of the display panel such that the curved bottom sash is spaced apart from the display panel, and a plurality of backlight units disposed at opposite inner sides of the bottom sash to irradiate light to the bottom sash. The inside of the bottom sash reflects the light irradiated from the backlight units to the display panel. Consequently, a light guide plate may be omitted from the display apparatus.
