Backlight unit and display device having the same

摘要

A backlight unit includes a substrate, a plurality of first light sources, a plurality of second light sources, a first wiring portion, a second wiring portion, a first connector and a second connector. The first light sources are disposed on the substrate. The second light sources are disposed on the substrate in a single line. The first wiring portion extends along a length direction on a first peripheral area of the substrate and is connected to the first light sources. The second wiring portion extends along the length direction on a second peripheral area of the substrate and is connected to the second light sources. The first connector is disposed on a first end portion of the substrate and is electrically connected to the first wiring portion. The second connector is disposed on a second end portion of the substrate and is electrically connected to the second wiring portion.

主权项

1. A backlight unit comprising:
a single substrate extending along a length direction; a plurality of first light sources disposed on the substrate; a plurality of second light sources disposed on the substrate, wherein plurality of first and second light sources are disposed on the substrate in a line of lights in which each of the plurality of first lights and each of the plurality of second lights are alternately arranged with respect to each other; a first wiring portion extending along the length direction on a first peripheral area of the substrate and connected to the first light sources, the first wiring portion, electrically connected to, and terminating at a first connector disposed at a first end portion of the substrate, the first connector electrically connecting the first wiring portion to a first socket that is external to the substrate, the first connector being an only electrical connection of the first wiring portion off of the substrate; and a second wiring portion extending along the length direction on a second peripheral area of the substrate and connected to the second light sources, the second wiring portion, electrically connected to, and terminating at a second connector disposed at a second end portion of the substrate, the second connector electrically connecting the second wiring portion to a second socket that is external to the substrate, the second connector being an only electrical connection of the second wiring portion off of the substrate, wherein the first end portion of the substrate is opposite to the second end portion of the substrate with respect to the length direction thereof.
