Provided are a backlight unit and a display device having the same. The backlight unit configured to emit light onto a displaypanel in which one screen is defined into a plurality of display areas includes a bottom frame having a bottom surface and a sidewall, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) defining a plurality of light emitting areas corresponding to the display areas of the displaypanel, and an integrated light guide plate covering the plurality of LEDs, the integrated light guide plate being disposed on the plurality of light emitting areas corresponding to one screen. The light guide plate has a plurality of grooves for receiving at least one LED in an under surface thereof. Thus, since the light guide plate is formed in one body to correspond to a screen of the display panel in the backlight unit in which the light emitting areas are locally driven, a dark line occurring between the light guide plates 30 does not occur and a slim backlight unit may be manufactured. |
