摘要

There are provided a backlight assembly ( 200 ) and an LCD apparatus ( 110 ) having the same. A lamp unit ( 210, 220 ) is received in a first receiving container ( 300 ) having a first bottom surface ( 350 ) and a first sidewall ( 310 ) so that the lamp unit ( 210 ) faces the first sidewall. The lamp unit ( 210, 220 ) and the first receiving container ( 300 ) are received in a second receiving container ( 500 ) having a second bottom surface ( 550 ) and a second sidewall ( 510 ). A heat transfer member ( 261, 263 ) comprised of metal material having superior heat conductivity makes contact with the second receiving container ( 500 ) through the lamp unit ( 210, 220 ). The heat emitted from the lamp unit ( 210, 263 ) and discharged to exterior. Accordingly, the backlight assembly and the LCD apparatus may improve display characteristics thereof.
