Abstract

A backlight unit A backlight unit comprises first and second glass substrates, a resin layer between the first and second glass substrates, light sources on the first and second glass substrates, first and second transistors on the first and second glass substrates and electrically connected with the light sources, and spaced apart from each other, first conductive layers on a portion of an upper surface of the first glass substrate, second conductive layers on a portion of an upper surface of the second glass substrate, and third conductive layers on the first glass substrate, the second glass substrate, and the resin layer, wherein one of the third conductive layers is electrically connected with one of the first conductive layers and one of the second conductive layers and is on a portion of an upper surface of the resin layer.

Claims (23)

1. A backlight unit, comprising:

sub glass substrates;

a plurality of light sources on each of the sub glass substrates;

a first transistor and a second transistor on each of the sub glass substrates, the first transistor and the second transistor electrically connected with the plurality of light sources, and spaced apart from each other;

a first foam pad on a rear surface of each of the sub glass substrates; and

a substrate set including a plate on a rear surface of the first foam pad and the sub glass substrates, the plate having a plurality of holes.

2. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of circuit films are electrically connected to at least one side surface of each of the sub glass substrates, and

wherein one end of a circuit film from the plurality of circuit films is bonded to a circuit board.

3. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the sub glass substrates and the plate are fastened through a first fastening member.

4. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the plate includes a flat portion that faces the sub glass substrates and a vertical portion on at least one side of the flat portion, and an end of one of the sub glass substrates overlaps the flat portion of the plate.

5. The backlight unit of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover bottom on a rear surface and side surface of the substrate set,

wherein a plurality of substrate sets are in the cover bottom.

6. The backlight unit of claim 5 , wherein a second foam pad is on the plurality of substrate sets,

wherein a sub guide panel is on the second foam pad, and

wherein the second foam pad and the sub guide panel are on a portion of a surface of the plurality of substrate sets.

7. The backlight unit of claim 5 , wherein the cover bottom includes a plurality of holes,

wherein at least some of the plurality of holes of the cover bottom overlap the plurality of holes of the plate, and

wherein a second fastening member is fastened in an area where a hole from the plurality of holes of the cover bottom overlaps a hole from the plurality of holes of the plate.

8. The backlight unit of claim 5 , wherein the cover bottom includes a plurality of holes, and a protrusion on the plate is fastened to other holes of the plurality of holes of the cover bottom.

9. The backlight unit of claim 5 , wherein each sub glass substrate included in the plurality of substrate sets is spaced apart from each other.

10. The backlight unit of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat dissipation sheet on a rear surface of the plate.
