Abstract
A backlight assembly and the liquid crystal display having the same are provided. The backlight assembly includes: a plurality of lamps spaced apart from one another and each having external electrodes bent at both sides; an electrode plate having an electrode fixing part and a support part supporting the electrode fixing part, which are bent to be connected with the bent external electrode of the lamp; upper and lower structures for fixing the electrode plate; and a diffuser unit for diffusing light generated from the lamp.
Claims20
A backlight assembly comprising:
- a plurality of lamps spaced apart from one another, each lamp having two ends and having bent external electrodes at both ends;
- an electrode plate having at least one electrode fixing part, and at least one support part, the at least one support part supporting the electrode fixing part, and the at least one support part bent to be connected with at least one of the bent external electrodes;
- at least one structure for fixing the electrode plate;
- and
- a diffuser unit for diffusing light generated from the plurality of lamps.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel comprising a color filter substrate coupled to an array substrate, and further comprising a liquid crystal layer;
- a plurality of lamps spaced apart from one another to supply light to the liquid crystal panel, wherein each of the plurality of lamps have external electrodes bent at both ends;
- an electrode plate having at least one electrode fixing part, and at least one support part supporting the at least one electrode fixing part, the at least one supporting part bent to be connected with the bent external electrode;
- at least one structure for fixing the electrode plate;
- and
- a diffuser unit for diffusing light generated from the plurality of lamps.
A system for holding lamps used for a liquid crystal display, the system comprising:
- an electrode plate;
- at least one support part coupled with the electrode plate;
- at least one fixing part coupled with at least one of the support parts;
- a plurality of lamps spaced apart from one another, the lamps having two ends and having external electrodes at each end, the external electrodes having a bend;
- wherein each of the support parts has a bend that corresponds to the bend in the external electrodes, further wherein each of the fixing parts holds at least one of the external electrodes, at least one of the lamps, or a combination thereof.
