Backlight assembly and display apparatus having the same

摘要

A display apparatus with at least two light guide plates, each including a light incident surface and a light exiting surface, the light guide plates being spaced apart from each other so as to form a gap therebetween. The display apparatus also has a light source disposed adjacent to at least one side portion of the light guide plates to emit light to the light incident surface, a display panel positioned to receive light from the light exiting surfaces to facilitate display of an image, and a diffusion member. The diffusion member covers the gap, so as to diffuse light directed toward the display panel.

主权项

1. A display apparatus comprising:
at least two light guide plates being spaced apart from each other so as to form a gap therebetween; a display panel positioned on the light guide plates; a diffusion plate disposed between the display panel and the light guide plates so as to diffuse light from the light guide plates; a light source disposed in the gap and having an upper surface facing the diffusion plate; and an optical member that covers the gap to reduce a difference of a refractive index between the gap and the light guide plates such that an amount of the light traveling to the display panel through the gap between the light guide plates from the light source is reduced, the optical member extending from the upper surface of the light source toward the diffusion plate so as to support the diffusion plate.
