Liquid crystal display device having an electromagnetic-wave shielding member

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a display panel that receives an image signal to display an image corresponding to the image signal, the display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate combined with the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates;
• a backlight assembly including a light source that generates a first light and a light-distribution changing member that changes an optical distribution of the first light exiting from the light source, and the backlight assembly providing the display panel with the first light;
• and
• an electromagnetic-wave shielding member formed on the light-distribution changing member, the electromagnetic-wave shielding member shielding an electromagnetic wave generated from an electric power applied to the light source, thereby preventing the electromagnetic wave from affecting electromagnetically the image display part.

A backlight assembly for a display device, the display device including an image display part on which an image is displayed, the backlight assembly comprising:

• a light source that generates a first light;
• a light-distribution changing member that changes an optical distribution of the first light exiting from the light source;
• and
• an electromagnetic-wave shielding member formed on the light-distribution changing member, the electromagnetic-wave shielding member shielding an electromagnetic wave generated from an electric power applied to the light source from the image display part.
