Backlight assembly for liquid crystal display device

摘要

A liquid crystal display ("LCD") module (1000) includes a backlight assembly (300) emitting light, a LCD panel (100) overlapping the backlight assembly (300), and an upper cover (200). The backlight includes a light source module (340) emitting the light, a light guide plate ("LGP"; 330) including edges and a middle portion, and a LGP support (400) overlapping the edges of the LGP. The LGP support includes a plurality of LGP supporting pieces (410,420,430,440) connected to each other so as to form a polygonal shape, each of the LGP supporting pieces (410,420,430,440) including a LGP supporting portion (460) including a LGP supporting surface (461) overlapping the edges of the LGP (330), and the LGP supporting surfaces (461) of each of the LGP supporting pieces (410,420,430,440) of the LGP support (400) are placed on a same plane. Opposing LGP supporting pieces are interconnected by an LCD module mounting member (6000).
