Display apparatus

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a light source module including a plurality of light sources;
• a light guide plate configured to guide light generated by the light source module to the display panel;
• and
• a coupling member comprising:
• a first surface configured to support the light guide plate;
• a second surface configured to support the light source module, the second surface being disposed opposite the first surface and oriented away from the first surface;
• and
• a support provided between the first surface and the second surface and configured to support the light guide plate spaced apart from the light source module,
• wherein the coupling member further comprises a cut portion located between the first surface and the second surface,
• wherein the plurality of light sources are located proximate to the cut portion and are configured to emit light toward a side surface of the light guide plate through the cut portion,
• wherein the second surface comprises a coupling protrusion configured to pass through the light source module and couple to the light source module,
• wherein the display apparatus further comprises a chassis disposed behind the light guide plate,
• wherein the coupling protrusion is configured to pass through the chassis and couple to the chassis
• wherein the light source module comprises a first hole configured to accommodate the coupling protrusion,
• the chassis comprises a second hole configured to accommodate the coupling protrusion, and
• the coupling protrusion is configured to be inserted into the second hole after being inserted into the first hole.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a top chassis located in front of the display panel;
• a light source module including a plurality of light sources;
• a light guide plate configured to guide light generated by the light source module to the display panel;
• a bottom chassis located behind the light guide plate and coupled to the top chassis;
• and
• a coupling member located between the top chassis and the bottom chassis,
• wherein the coupling member comprises:
• a first side configured to contact the light guide plate;
• and
• a second side disposed opposite the first side, the second side being configured to support the light source module, a plane of the second side intersecting with a plane of the first side,
• wherein the coupling member further comprises a cut portion located between the first side and the second side, and
• wherein the plurality of light sources are located proximate to the cut portion and are configured to emit light toward a side surface of the light guide plate through the cut portion.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a light source module including a plurality of light sources;
• a light guide plate configured to guide light generated by the light source module to the display panel, the light guide plate having a tetragonal shape;
• a chassis configured to support a rear of the light guide plate;
• and
• a coupling member configured to support an edge of the light guide plate,
• wherein the coupling member comprises:
• an inner surface configured to contact a side of the light guide plate;
• and
• an outer surface configured to support the light source module, the outer surface being coupled to the chassis, wherein a plane of the outer surface intersects a plane of the inner surface, and
• wherein light emitted by the plurality of light sources toward the side of the light guide plate is guided through a cut portion provided between the inner surface and the outer surface.
