Backlight assembly and display device having the same

摘要

A backlight assembly includes a light guide plate (LGP) having a stepped portion formed at a corner of the LGP, an optical sheet disposed over the LGP and a receiving container receiving the LGP and the optical sheet. The receiving container includes a bottom plate, first through fourth sidewalls and a first LGP fixing portion. The second sidewall is adjacent to the first sidewall. The third sidewall faces the first sidewall. The fourth sidewall faces the second sidewall. The first through fourth sidewalls are extended upwardly from edge portions of the bottom plate. The first LGP fixing portion is formed at the first sidewall such that the LGP fixing portion corresponds to the stepped portion of the LGP. Therefore, a display device is easily assembled. Furthermore, a defilement that may occur during an assembling process may be reduced to enhance productivity.

主权项

1. A backlight assembly comprising:
a light guide plate having a recessed stepped portion in a plan view; a light source assembly providing a light to the light guide plate; and a receiving container which receives the light guide plate and the light source assembly, the receiving container including a bottom plate, a sidewall that extends continuously from an edge portion of the bottom plate in a vertical direction and extends in a first horizontal direction in a plan view, and a fixing portion that extends continuously from the sidewall into the recessed stepped portion of the light guide plate in a second horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the first horizontal direction in the plan view so that the sidewall is unitary and indivisible with the bottom plate and the fixing portion, wherein the fixing portion has a plate shape substantially parallel to a vertical direction, and a thickness of the fixing portion along the first horizontal direction is substantially same as the thickness of the sidewall along the second horizontal direction.
