Backlight unit and the display device having the same
First Claim
1. A backlight unit configured to emit light onto a panel in which one screen is defined into a plurality of display areas, the backlight unit comprising:
- a bottom frame having a bottom surface and a sidewall;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on the bottom surface of the bottom frame, the plurality of LEDs defining a plurality of light emitting areas corresponding to the display areas of the panel;
an integrated light guide plate disposing the plurality of LEDs, the integrated light guide plate being disposed on the plurality of light emitting areas corresponding to one screen; and
a coupling part coupling the integrated light guide plate to the bottom frame,wherein, the coupling part, each of the two sidewalls adjacent to each other of the bottom frame has a stepped portion, and a guide mold covering an edge of the integrated light guide plate above the stepped portion.
