At least one side of the light guide plate includes a first plane, which does not correspond to the point light sources, and a light incident plane corresponding to the point light sources and having a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the first plane. | 10-27-2011 |
20110279753 | BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A display apparatus includes a light guide plate, a light source unit, a display panel, a receiving container, and a driving part. The light guide plate includes at least one chamfered corner and a light incident surface defined by the chamfered corner. The light source unit generates the light and is positioned adjacent to the light incident surface. The display panel receives the light to display an image and the receiving container includes a bottom and sidewalls extended from the bottom to receive the light guide plate and the light source unit. The driving part is electrically connected to the display panel to apply a driving signal to the display panel and is electrically connected to the light source unit to apply a power source voltage to the light source unit. | 11-17-2011 |
20120099341 | BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - In a backlight assembly and a display apparatus having the backlight assembly, the backlight assembly includes a back cover configured to accommodate and retain a light source mounted on a circuit substrate into a receiving cavity of the back cover. Heat generated by the light source may be effectively transmitted to the back cover, thereby preventing temperature in the backlight assembly from increasing. | 04-26-2012 |
20120163023 | DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THERMALLY PROTECTED BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY - A thermal spacing structure is provided within a display apparatus that includes a heat-emitting light source and a thermally deformable light guide plate (LGP). In one embodiment, the thermal spacing structure includes a pair of spacer members disposed at sides of the light source and engaging the light guide plate so as to space the light source from a light receiving incident surface of the PGP by a predetermined distance. | 06-28-2012 |
20120170309 | Display Apparatus and Method of Assembling the Same - In a display apparatus, a light guide plate includes a chamfered corner portion that defines a light incident surface. A light source unit is arranged adjacent to the light incident surface to provide the light to the light guide plate through the light incident surface. A display panel receives light from the light guide plate to display an image. A receiving container includes sidewalls and a bottom portion to accommodate the light guide plate and the light source unit. At least one sidewall adjacent to the corner portion is divided into a first part and a second part that may be coupled to or separated from each other. Thus, the light guide plate and the light source unit may be easily accommodated in the receiving container, thereby improving an assembling efficiency. | 07-05-2012 |
20120224119 | Light-Emitting Diode Module, Backlight Assembly Having the LED Module and Display Device Having the Backlight Assembly - A backlight assembly includes a light-emitting diode (LED) module and a bottom chassis. The LED module includes an LED package in which at least one LED chip is mounted, and first and second wire sockets respectively making contact with lead frames formed at two sides of the LED package. The bottom chassis has a coupling hole formed through a bottom portion for receiving a coupling hook of the LED module. Thus, a wire socket is configured to make contact with a lead frame formed at a side portion of an LED package and power is received through a wire inserted through the wire socket, so that an additional printed circuit board (PCB) or an additional flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) for providing the LED package with power may be omitted. | 09-06-2012 |
20130223095 | DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME - In a display apparatus, a light guide plate includes a chamfered corner portion that defines a light incident surface. A light source unit is arranged adjacent to the light incident surface to provide the light to the light guide plate through the light incident surface. A display panel receives light from the light guide plate to display an image. A receiving container includes sidewalls and a bottom portion to accommodate the light guide plate and the light source unit. At least one sidewall adjacent to the corner portion is divided into a first part and a second part that may be coupled to or separated from each other. Thus, the light guide plate and the light source unit may be easily accommodated in the receiving container, thereby improving an assembling efficiency. | 08-29-2013 |
20140036531 | Backlight Unit and Display Apparatus Having the same - A backlight unit includes a light source that emits light and a light guide plate disposed adjacent to the light source. The light guide plate includes an incident surface to which light is incident, an exit surface from which light incident through the incident surface exits, a reflection surface facing the exit surface to reflect the incident light, and a plurality of lenticular protrusions disposed on the exit surface. The reflection surface includes an inclined surface proximal to the incident surface and inclined with respect to the exit surface. | 02-06-2014 |
20140185316 | Display Device and Method of Manufacturing the Same - A display device according to an embodiment of the invention includes a display member configured to display images, a light source member configured to generate light, and a light guiding member disposed between the light source member and the display member. The light guiding member is configured to guide the light to the display member. The display member, the light source member, and the light guiding member are integrated as a single unit. The light source member generates blue light. The light guiding member includes a light guide layer and a fluorescent layer disposed on a top surface or a bottom surface of the light guide layer. The fluorescent layer is configured to convert the blue light into white light. | 07-03-2014 |
