Lamp socket, backlight assembly having the same and display device having the same

摘要

A lamp socket including a socket terminal, a backlight assembly having the lamp socket and a display device having the backlight assembly are provided. The socket terminal includes a base part, an extending part, a stopper part, an electrode insertion part and a wire connection member. The extending part is extended from the base part, is angled with respect to the base part, and includes a space to receive an electrode of a lamp. The stopper part extends from the extending part and isolates the space at an end of the extending part. The electrode insertion part is extended from the stopper part, wherein application of pressure on the electrode insertion part separates sides of the stopper part to provide access to the space. The wire connection member is extended from the base part.
