View Patent ↗A backlight assembly, which can provide enhanced light emitting efficiency, and a display device, are provided. The backlight assembly includes a light generating unit comprising a substrate and a point light source connected to the substrate, and a receiving container positioned to receive light from the light generating unit, the receiving container comprising an embossing that corresponds to the point light source.
1. A backlight assembly comprising:
a light generating unit comprising a substrate and a point light source connected to one side of the substrate facing a receiving container; and
the receiving container positioned to receive the light generating unit, the receiving container comprising an embossing that corresponds to the point light source.
2. The backlight assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light-generating unit further comprises a power supply line configured to supply a power source for driving the point light source and the point light source connected to the substrate is toward the receiving container.
3. The backlight assembly of claim 2 , wherein the receiving container comprises a bottom plate and a sidewall protruding from an edge portion of the bottom plate to define a receiving space.
4. The backlight assembly of claim 3 , wherein the substrate is a printed circuit board (PCB).
5. The backlight assembly of claim 4 , wherein the point light source is a light emitting diode (LED).
6. The backlight assembly of claim 5 , wherein a section of the embossing has a spherical shape.
7. The backlight assembly of claim 5 , wherein the light emitting diode and the embossing are arranged in a matrix type pattern.
8. The backlight assembly of claim 5 , wherein the light emitting diode and the embossing are arranged in a zigzag type pattern.
9. The backlight assembly of claim 5 , wherein the embossing is filled with filler.
10. The backlight assembly of claim 9 , wherein the filler comprises at least one material of silicon, epoxy and acryl.
11. A display device comprising:
a display unit configured to display an image by using light, the display unit comprising:
a first substrate comprising pixel electrodes; and
a second substrate located opposite the first substrate, the second substrate comprising a color filter corresponding to the pixel electrodes to display images; and
a backlight assembly located opposite the display unit, the backlight assembly comprising:
a light-generating unit comprising a substrate and a point light source connected to one side of the substrate facing a receiving container; and
the receiving container positioned to receive the light-generating unit, the receiving container comprising an embossing that corresponds to the point light source.
12. The backlight assembly of claim 11 , wherein the light-generating unit further comprises a power supply line configured to supply a power source for driving the point light source.
13. The backlight assembly of claim 12 , wherein the receiving container comprises a bottom plate and a sidewall protruding from an edge portion of the bottom plate to define a receiving space.
14. The backlight assembly of claim 13 , wherein the substrate is a printed circuit board (PCB).
15. The backlight assembly of claim 14 , wherein the point light source is a light emitting diode (LED).
16. The backlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the section of embossing has a spherical shape.
17. The backlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the light emitting diode and the embossing are arranged by matrix type.
18. The backlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the light emitting diode and the embossing are arranged by zigzag type.
19. The backlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the embossing is filled with filler.
20. The backlight assembly of claim 19 , wherein the filler comprises at least one material of silicon, epoxy and acryl.
21. A method of making a backlight assembly, the method comprising:
providing a light generating unit comprising a substrate and a point light source connected to one side of the substrate facing a receiving container; and
positioning the receiving container comprising an embossing corresponding to the point light source such that the receiving container is in a position to receive the light generating unit.
22. The method as recited in claim 21 , wherein the embossing corresponds to the point light source.
23. The method as recited in claim 22 , wherein the light-generating unit further comprises a power supply line configured to supply a power source for driving the point light source and the point light source connected to the substrate is toward the receiving container.
24. The method as recited in claim 23 , wherein the receiving container comprises a bottom plate and a sidewall protruding from an edge portion of the bottom plate to define a receiving space.
25. The method as recited in claim 24 , wherein the substrate is a printed circuit board(PCB) and the point light source is a light emitting diode (LED).
