Abstract
A liquid crystal display with improved backlight structure is presented. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal (LC) panel for displaying image, a backlight assembly for providing light to the LC panel and a top frame combined with the bottom frame to complete LCD assembling. The backlight assembly includes a bottom frame, light source, and optical member. The bottom frame includes a light source receiving part, a side wall and a optical member receiving part which extends inwardly to the inner side of the backlight assembly. Thus, the overall size of the LCD can be reduced.
