Liquid crystal display and led module thereof

A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel;
• a top sash comprising a bezel configured to cover a rim of the liquid crystal panel;
• a light guide plate configured to guide light to the liquid crystal panel;
• a light emitting diode (LED) module which emits light to a lateral side of the light guide plate and supports the light guide plate so that the light guide plate is disposed at a position corresponding to an end portion of the bezel;
• a bottom sash coupled to a lower side of the LED module to support the LED module;
• and
• a connecting member that couples the LED module to the bottom sash.

A light emitting diode (LED) module comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• an LED package comprising a side view LED package that is mounted on one side of an upper surface of the PCB to emit light toward an opposite side of the upper surface of the PCB;
• and
• a connecting member,
• wherein the PCB comprises:
• a base substrate;
• a connecting hole which is formed through an upper surface and a lower surface of the base substrate and through which the connecting member is coupled to the base substrate;
• an insulating layer which is coated on the base substrate while being spaced apart outward from a circumference of the connecting hole by a predetermined distance;
• and
• a spacer tape provided on an upper side of the insulating layer to form a difference in steps around the connecting hole.

A liquid crystal module assembly comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel;
• a cover assembly comprising a bezel configured to cover a rim of the liquid crystal panel;
• a light guide plate configured to guide light to the liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a light emitting diode (LED) module which supports the light guide plate so that the light guide plate is disposed at a position corresponding to an end portion of the bezel, the LED module comprising:
• a plurality of LED packages which emit light laterally to the light guide plate, and
• a printed circuit board (PCB) to which the light guide plate and the LED packages are mounted, the PCB comprising a base substrate, and a connecting hole which is formed in the base substrate to couple the base substrate to the cover assembly.
