  Light generated by the light generation unit 110 is incident on the light guide plate 120. The light guide plate 120 guides the incident light along the horizontal direction and emits the light toward the optical member 130. The light guide plate 120 converts light having a light distribution of a point light source generated from the light emitting diode 112 into light having a light distribution of a surface light source. The light guide plate 120 may be a flat light guide plate having a uniform thickness from one side adjacent to the light emitting diode 112 to the other side facing the one side, for example. The light guide plate 120 may be a wedge type light guide plate. In this case, the thickness of the light guide plate 120 decreases from one side adjacent to the light emitting diode 112 to the other side facing the one side.

The flexible circuit board 230 provides a drive signal for driving the liquid crystal display panel 210 to the TFT substrate 212. On the TFT substrate 212, a driving chip 220 for controlling the driving signal is disposed in order to apply the driving signal provided from the flexible circuit board 230 to the liquid crystal display panel 210 at an appropriate timing. As a method of disposing the driving chip 220 on the TFT substrate 212, a chip-on-glass (COG) mounting method in which the driving chip 220 is directly mounted on the liquid crystal display panel 210 is mainly used.

The direction in which light travels on the liquid crystal display panel 210 is shown.

  Referring further to FIG. 1, the storage container 300 sequentially stores the backlight unit 100 and the display unit 200. The storage container 300 includes a bottom plate 310 and a plurality of side walls 320. The side wall 320 is formed integrally with the bottom plate 310 and extends from the bottom plate 310 to form a storage space. A grounding member 330 is formed integrally with the bottom plate 310 on the back surface of the storage container 300, and the flexible circuit board 230 is grounded to the storage container 300.

The edge of the color filter substrate 214 is surrounded by the chassis 400, and a part of the chassis 400 is coupled to the storage container 300. The chassis 400 prevents the liquid crystal display panel 210 that is vulnerable to external impacts from being broken, and prevents the liquid crystal display panel 210 from flowing.
