Backlight assembly and display apparatus having the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display unit comprising:
• a display panel displaying an image in response to a first driving signal and a first connecting member electrically connected to the display panel;
• a light generating unit comprising:
• a second connecting member electrically connected to the first connecting member, the second connecting member receiving an external second driving signal;
• a light source disposed on the second connecting member, the light source receiving the second driving signal through the second connecting member;
• a light guiding member receiving light from the light source to guide the light toward the display panel;
• and
• a receiving member comprising:
• a first receiving container having a plurality of first sidewalls forming a frame and a receiving space defined by the first sidewalls in which the light source, the light guiding member and the display unit are received, wherein the first receiving container includes at least one receiving groove recessed from one of the first sidewalls to a predetermined depth, and the light source is received within the receiving groove;
• and
• a second receiving container connected to the first receiving container and the second receiving container having a receiving portion in which the second connecting member is received, and the receiving portion comprising a recessed portion recessed from a rear surface of the second container to a predetermined depth for receiving the second connecting member, the second connecting member is partially overlapped with the first connecting member on the rear surface of the second receiving container, wherein the depth of the recessed portion recessed from the rear surface of the second receiving container is substantially identical to a thickness of the second connecting member.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display unit comprising:
• a display panel displaying an image in response to a first driving signal and a first flexible printed circuit board (first FPC) electrically connected to the display panel;
• a light generating unit comprising:
• a second flexible printed circuit board (second FPC) electrically connected to the first FPC, the second FPC receiving an external second driving signal;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on the second connecting member, the plurality of LEDs receiving the second driving signal through the second FPC;
• a light guiding member receiving light from the light source to guide the light toward the display panel;
• and
• a receiving member comprising a frame and bottom chassis, the frame comprises first, second, third and fourth sidewalls and a first receiving space surrounded by the first, second, third and fourth sidewall and a plurality of receiving grooves, the first receiving space is defined by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls, the first sidewall is partially recessed from a surface thereof to a predetermined depth, thereby forming the plurality of receiving grooves, the first receiving space receives the light guiding member and the plurality of receiving grooves receives the plurality of LEDs therein, the bottom chassis comprises a bottom plate and fifth, sixth, seventh and eight sidewalls that upwardly extend from the bottom plate to define a second receiving space, the frame and the bottom chassis are connected to one another, such that the frame is received in the second receiving space of the bottom chassis,
• the first FPC is bent downwardly and disposed on the rear surface of the chassis such that a top surface of the first sidewall of the frame and the fifth sidewall of the bottom chassis are surrounded by the first FPC, the second FPC is bent and disposed on the rear surface of the bottom chassis , such that the top surface of the first sidewall of the frame and the fifth sidewall of the bottom chassis are surrounded by the second FPC, the first FPC is larger in size than the second FPC such that the first FPC is partially overlapped with the second FPC, the bottom chassis further comprises a recessed portion recessed from the rear surface of the bottom chassis to a predetermined depth for receiving the second FPC, the depth of the recessed portion is substantially identical to a thickness of the second FPC.
