Abstract

A light emitting diode module, a backlight assembly having the light emitting diode module, and a display device having the backlight assembly. The light emitting diode module includes a light emitting device including a light emitting diode chip, a body that surrounds the light emitting diode chip, and a heat releasing member that is in contact with the light emitting diode chip and protrudes from the body. The light emitting diode module also includes a printed circuit board having a hole corresponding to a protruding end portion of the heat releasing member.

Claims (36)
