Luminescent diode, fabrication method thereof, and backlight assembly having the same

A backlight assembly, comprising:

• a light source, the light source includes:
• a plurality of LED chips to emit light around a liquid crystal display device;
• a fluorescent mold surrounding each LED chip;
• a epoxy formed on the fluorescent mold;
• and
• a plurality of optical fibers buried in the epoxy to enlarge a radiation angle of the light,
• wherein each optical fiber includes a core in which light propagates, a cladding layer formed on the core to reflect light, and a coating layer formed on the cladding layer to intensify the strength of the optical fiber;
• and
• an optical sheet that diffuses and condenses light emitted from the light source.

A luminescent diode (LED) for a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:

• a plurality of LED chips to emit light on a bottom surface of the LCD device;
• a fluorescent mold surrounding the LED chip;
• an epoxy formed on the fluorescent mold;
• and
• a plurality of optical fibers buried in the epoxy to enlarge a radiation angle of the light,
• wherein each optical fiber includes a core in which light propagates, a cladding layer formed on the core to reflect light, and a coating layer formed on the cladding layer to intensify the strength of the optical fiber.
