Claims22
A backlight assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of fluorescent lamps at least one of the lamps including a lamp tube having a fluorescent layer, a discharge gas contained in the lamp tube, a first electrode disposed in the lamp tube, a capacitor disposed on an end of the lamp tube, a conductive terminal capacitively coupled to the first electrode by the capacitor, a second electrode connected to the first electrode, an insulator disposed between the second electrode and the conductive terminal and protruding away from the end of the lamp tube to overlap the capacitor,
- wherein the second electrode is directly disposed on an entire first surface of the capacitor, the conductive terminal is directly disposed on an entire second surface of the capacitor and the first and second surfaces are opposite each other;
- and
- a lamp socket which secures the plurality of fluorescent lamps.
