Abstract

A backlight unit of a liquid crystal display for arranging a wire for supplying a driving current connected to a common electrode to be penetrated a piece provided at the inside portion is disclosed. In the backlight unit of the liquid crystal display, a cover bottom includes an accepting space to which the reflection sheet is attached. A first and a second side bottoms are arranged within the accepting space of the cover bottom, and are located to be symmetrical with both sides of the reflection sheet. A first and second common electrodes are commonly connected to both side ends of the plurality of lamps. A first piece is located between the lamps, and is formed to penetrate the first side bottom and the cover bottom. And wherein, a first wire for supplying a driving current connected to the first common electrode is arranged to penetrate the first common electrode.

Claims (19)

1. A backlight unit of a liquid crystal display, including a plurality of lamps irradiating a light to a liquid crystal display panel, and a reflection sheet reflecting a light irradiated from the lamps toward the liquid crystal display panel direction, comprising:
