Liquid crystal display
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display for minimizing a leakage current to prevent brightness deterioration is disclosed. The liquid crystal display includes a backlight unit including a plurality of lamps, a plurality of lamp wires connected to the plurality lamps, and a bottom cover in which the lamps are received, the bottom cover having a plurality of holes through which the lamp wires are passed, an inverter circuit board generating a power to drive the lamps and a plurality of sockets connected to output terminals of the inverter circuit board and connecting to the lamp wires, wherein at least one socket among the sockets is inclined at a side of the inverter circuit board.
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a backlight unit including a plurality of lamps, a plurality of lamp wires connected to the plurality lamps, and a bottom cover in which the lamps are received, the bottom cover having a plurality of holes through which the lamp wires are passed;
an inverter circuit board generating a power to drive the lamps; and
a plurality of sockets connected to output terminals of the inverter circuit board and connected to the lamp wires,
wherein at least one socket among the sockets is inclined at a side of the inverter circuit board.
2. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one socket is connected to the inverter circuit board at an angle in a range of 30° to 60° to the side of the inverter circuit board.
3. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one socket is located at an upper portion among the sockets.
4. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one socket includes:
a first socket located at an uppermost portion among the sockets, and connected to the inverter circuit board which is inclined to have a first angle to the side of the inverter circuit board;
a second socket located under the first socket, and connected to the inverter circuit board which is inclined to have a second angle narrower than the first angle to the side of the inverter circuit board; and
a third socket located under the second socket, and connected to the inverter circuit board which is inclined to have a third angle narrower than the second angle to the side of the inverter circuit board.
