Two dimensional light source using light emitting diode and liquid crystal display device using the two dimensional light source

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising:

a two-dimensional light source; and

a liquid crystal panel assembly that is disposed proximate to the two-dimensional light source and includes two panels and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the two panels,

wherein the two-dimensional light source includes:

a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate having holes passing from a lower surface to an upper surface of the PCB substrate;

wires disposed on the lower surface of the PCB substrate;

a heat radiating substrate, which has holes passing from a lower surface to an upper surface of the heat radiating substrate, the lower surface of the heat radiating substrate being attached to the upper surface of the PCB substrate;

a light emitting diode (LED) chip disposed on the upper surface of the heat radiating substrate;

plugs that connect electrodes of the LED chip directly to the wires through the holes of the PCB and heat radiating substrates;

a buffer layer disposed directly on the LED chip that covers the LED chip; and

an optical layer, which is disposed on the buffer layer, and includes an optical pattern formed at a portion of the optical layer corresponding to the LED chip.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , further comprising a first polarizer disposed on a first side of the liquid crystal panel assembly and a second polarizer disposed on a second side of the liquid crystal panel assembly.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , further comprising an optical film provided between the two-dimensional light source and the liquid crystal panel assembly.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer has a planarized upper surface.
