Abstract
A liquid crystal display is provided. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel which is configured to display an image; a backlight which is configured to supply light for displaying the image on the liquid crystal panel; a top chassis and bottom chassis which package the liquid crystal panel and backlight unit in one module; and a strength reinforcing member which is mounted to an internal surface of the bottom chassis to reinforce a strength of the bottom chassis.

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel which is configured to display an image;
- a backlight unit which is configured to supply light for displaying the image on the liquid crystal panel;
- a top chassis and a bottom chassis which package the liquid crystal panel and backlight unit in one module;
- a strength reinforcing member which is mounted to an internal surface of the bottom chassis;
- and
- a cover member including an upper portion, which covers the strength reinforcing member, and a side portion disposed on a side of the strength reinforcing member,
- wherein the backlight unit comprises at least one light source printed circuit board (PCB) on which a plurality of light sources are mounted,
- the strength reinforcing member occupies a first area of the internal surface of the bottom chassis, and the at least one light source PCB is attached to a second area of the internal surface of the bottom chassis which is not occupied by the strength reinforcing member, and
- the strength reinforcing member is disposed laterally with respect to the at least one light source PCB, so that a surface of the side portion is disposed laterally and in proximity to the at least one light source PCB.
