Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a light guiding unit, a main flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and a sub FPC. The light guiding unit is disposed adjacent to a first side of the display panel. The main FPC is electrically connected to a second side of the display panel to apply an electrical signal to the display panel. The sub FPC is electrically connected to the main FPC. A light emitting device generates light supplied to the light guiding unit, and is mounted on the sub FPC.
Claims5
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel;
- a light guiding unit disposed adjacent to a first side of the display panel;
- a receiving container which receives the light guiding unit, and includes a first sidewall longitudinally extended in a first direction, and a second sidewall longitudinally extended in a second direction which is different than the first direction;
- a main flexible printed circuit board (FPC) electrically connected to a second side of the display panel to apply an electrical signal to the display panel;
- a sub FPC electrically connected to the main FPC;
- and
- a light emitting device to generate light supplied to the light guiding unit, the light emitting device being mounted on the sub FPC,
- wherein
- the display panel comprises a conductive line electrically connecting the main FPC with the sub FPC,
- the receiving container comprises a first receiving portion to receive the main FPC and a second receiving portion to receive the sub FPC,
- the first receiving portion extends into the first sidewall at a first portion of the first sidewall of the receiving container corresponding to the main FPC,
- the second receiving portion extends into the first sidewall at a second portion of the first sidewall of the receiving container corresponding to the sub FPC,
- the first receiving portion is adjacent to the second receiving portion in the first direction,
- the first receiving portion is separated from the second receiving portion in the first direction, and
- the first sidewall further comprises a third portion between the first and second receiving portions of the first side wall.
