Abstract
A liquid crystal display (“LCD”) includes a light guide panel (“LGP”) guiding light, first and second light sources that are disposed at either side of the LGP and emit the light, a lower receiving container having a bottom surface which is disposed below the LGP and the first and second light sources, an enclosing portion that extends from a first end of the bottom surface and that is folded to enclose the first light source, and an opening portion that extends from a second end of the bottom surface and that is opened toward an upper direction, and a first reflection sheet covering the opening portion of the lower receiving container above the second light source.
Claims19
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a light guide panel guiding light;
- first and second light sources that are disposed at either side of the light guide panel and emit the light;
- a lower receiving container having a bottom surface which is disposed below the light guide panel and the first and second light sources, an enclosing portion that extends from a first end of the bottom surface and that is folded to enclose the first light source and an opening portion that extends from a second end of the bottom surface and that is opened toward an upper direction;
- a first reflection sheet disposed below the light guide panel and the second light source directly attached to and covering the opening portion of the lower receiving container, the first reflection sheet being disposed above the second light source and folded to enclose the second light source;
- and
- a second reflection sheet disposed below the light guide panel and the first light source directly attached to and covering the enclosing portion of the lower receiving container, the second reflection sheet being disposed above the first light source and folded to enclose the first light source.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a light guide panel guiding light;
- first and second light sources that are disposed at either side of the light guide panel and emit the light;
- a lower receiving container having a bottom surface which is disposed below the light guide panel and the first and second light sources, a first opening portion that extends from a first end of the bottom surface and that is opened toward a first upper direction, and a second opening portion that extends from a second end of the bottom surface and that is opened toward a second upper direction;
- a first reflection sheet disposed below the light guide panel and the first light source directly attached to and covering the first opening portion of the lower receiving container, the first reflection sheet being disposed above the first light source and folded to enclose the first light source;
- and
- a second reflection sheet disposed below the light guide panel and the first light source directly attached to and covering the second opening portion of the lower receiving container the second reflection sheet being disposed above the second light source and folded to enclose the second light source.
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display, the method comprising:
- preparing a lower receiving container having a bottom surface and a folded portion that extends from a first end of the bottom surface, and the lower receiving container having an opening portion that extends from a second end of the bottom surface and that is opened toward an upper direction;
- mounting a first reflection sheet on the bottom surface and the second end of the bottom surface;
- mounting a second reflection sheet on the folded portion that extends from the first end of the bottom surface of the lower receiving container;
- installing a first light source into the folded portion of the lower receiving container so as to enclose the first light source, mounting a light guide panel on the bottom surface, and installing a second light source above the second end of the bottom surface;
- and
- folding the first reflection sheet so as to enclose the second light source,
- wherein end portions of each the first and second reflective sheets overlap each other.
