Backlight assembly and display apparatus having the same

摘要

A backlight assembly including a container having a light exiting boundary, and a light source part. The container includes a first light source supporting part supporting first and second light sources, and a reflector extending from the first light source supporting part. The reflector reflects the light from the first and second light sources to guide the light to the light exiting boundary. The first light source is disposed under the light exiting boundary and generates the light. The second light source is spaced apart from the first light source in a first direction by a first distance. The first direction is substantially parallel with the light exiting boundary. The second light source is spaced apart from the light exiting boundary in a second direction by a first depth. The second direction is substantially perpendicular to the light exiting boundary.

主权项

1. A backlight assembly comprising:
a container at least partially defining a light exiting boundary that extends from a first edge of the container to an opposing second edge of the container, the container comprising:
a first light source supporting portion supporting a first light source and a second light source under the light exiting boundary, such that the first light source is disposed closer to the light exit boundary than the second light source, the first light source supporting portion forming the first edge of the container; anda reflector extending from the first light source supporting portion and configured to reflect the light from the first light source and the second light source toward the light exiting boundary; a first reflecting cup surrounding the first light source and configured to guide the light generated by the first light source toward the reflector; and a second reflecting cup surrounding the second light source and configured to guide the light generated by the second light source towards the reflector, wherein the second light source is spaced apart from the first light source in a first direction by a first distance, the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the first and second edges of the container and parallel with the light exiting boundary, the second light source spaced apart from the light exiting boundary in a second direction by a first depth, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction and the light exiting boundary.
