Backlight assembly and liquid crystal display apparatus having the same

1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a backlight assembly including:

a lamp assembly including a plurality of lamps and a plurality of lamp holders combined with electrodes of the lamps;

a bottom chassis combined with the lamp holder to receive the lamp assembly;

a first receiving container that covers the lamp holder and is combined with the bottom chassis; and

a heat transferring member combined with the lamp holder to fix the lamp assembly, the heat transferring member being combined also with the bottom chassis, so that heat generated from the lamp is transferred to the bottom chassis through the heat transferring member, the heat transferring member being between the first receiving member and the lamp assembly;

a display unit disposed over the backlight assembly to display an image by using a light provided from the backlight assembly; and

a top chassis that fixes the display unit to the backlight assembly.

2. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display unit comprises:

a liquid crystal display panel including an upper substrate, a lower substrate facing the upper substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower substrates; and

a printed circuit board that provides the liquid crystal display panel with a driving signal to drive the liquid crystal display panel.

3. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the lamp holder comprises:

a first combination hole combining with the bottom chassis; and

a second combination hole combining with the heat transferring member.

4. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the bottom chassis comprises a bottom plate, a sidewall extended from the bottom plate and a first protrusion that is inserted into the first combination hole.

5. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the heat transferring member comprises:

a first heat transferring portion including a second protrusion inserted into the second combination hole; and

a second heat transferring portion extended from the first heat transferring portion to make contact with the sidewall that is disposed adjacent to the lamp holder.

6. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the backlight assembly comprises:

an optical member that is disposed on the first receiving container; and

a second receiving container that fixes the optical member and guides the display unit.

7. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first receiving container further comprises a first recessed portion for ventilating an air.

8. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the lamp holder further comprises a second recessed portion corresponding to the first recessed portion.

9. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first receiving container comprises:

a first boss that prevents floating of the optical member; and

a second boss that supports the top chassis.

10. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second receiving container further comprises an opening into which the second boss of the first receiving container is inserted.

11. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein number of the lamp and number of the lamp holder are plural, and each lamp holder holds one or more electrodes of lamps.

12. The liquid crystal display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the bottom chassis comprises a bottom plate and a sidewall extended from the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate includes a first opening under the lamp holder and the sidewall includes a second opening that is adjacent to the lamp holder.
