Display device

A display device comprising:

• a display panel which displays an image with light;
• a backlight unit which is disposed below the display panel and generates and provides the light to the display panel, the backlight unit comprising:
• a light guide plate defining an emission surface thereof through which the light is emitted and a light incident surface thereof through which the light is incident to the light guide plate, and
• a light source which generates and provides the light to the light incident surface of the light guide plate,
• a bottom cover which supports the display panel and accommodates the backlight unit, the bottom cover comprising:
• a bottom portion which supports the backlight unit, the bottom portion defining a plurality of edges thereof,
• a first sidewall which is bent at a first edge of the bottom portion, the first sidewall facing the light incident surface of the light guide plate, and
• a support portion which is bent from the first sidewall to cover the light incident surface of the light guide plate, the support portion extended to face the bottom portion and support the display panel thereon;
• and
• a reflective member coupled to the support portion of the bottom cover at the light incident surface of the light guide plate, the reflective member partially overlapping the emission surface of the light guide plate and having a same thickness as the support portion,
• wherein
• the reflective member extends from the support portion of the bottom cover in a first direction, and
• the support portion of the bottom cover defines:
• first blocks thereof each of which has a first length in the first direction;
• and
• second blocks thereof each of which has a second length in the first direction that is less than the first length in the first direction,
• wherein the first blocks and the second blocks are alternately arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction.

A display device comprising:

• a display panel which displays an image with light;
• a backlight unit which is disposed below the display panel and generates and provides the light to the display panel, the backlight unit comprising:
• a light guide plate defining an emission surface thereof through which the light is emitted and a light incident surface thereof through which the light is incident to the light guide plate, and
• a light source which generates and provides the light to the light incident surface of the light guide plate,
• a bottom cover which supports the display panel and accommodates the backlight unit, the bottom cover comprising:
• a bottom portion which supports the backlight unit, the bottom portion defining a first edge, a second edge facing the first edge, and third and fourth edges respectively connecting the first and second edges to each other, the third and fourth edges facing each other,
• a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall respectively bent from the first edge, the second edge, the third edge, and the fourth edge the first sidewall facing the light incident surface of the light guide plate, and
• a support portion which is bent from the first sidewall to cover the light incident surface of the light guide plate, the support portion extended to face the bottom portion and support the display panel thereon;
• and
• a reflective member coupled to the support portion of the bottom cover at the light incident surface of the light guide plate, the reflective member partially overlapping the emission surface of the light guide plate and having a same thickness as the support portion,
• wherein each of the second to fourth sidewalls of the bottom cover comprises a plurality of sub-sidewalls which is spaced apart from each other and each bent from a respective edge among the second to fourth edges of the bottom portion of the bottom cover.
