Patent ID: 7436000

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising: a two-dimensional light source; and a liquid crystal panel assembly that is disposed proximate to the two-dimensional light source and includes two panels and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the two panels, wherein the two-dimensional light source includes: a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate having holes passing from a lower surface to an upper surface of the PCB substrate; wires disposed on the lower surface of the PCB substrate; a heat radiating substrate, which has holes passing from a lower surface to an upper surface of the heat radiating substrate, the lower surface of the heat radiating substrate being attached to the upper surface of the PCB substrate; a light emitting diode (LED) chip disposed on the upper surface of the heat radiating substrate; plugs that connect electrodes of the LED chip directly to the wires through the holes of the PCB and heat radiating substrates; a buffer layer disposed directly on the LED chip that covers the LED chip; and an optical layer, which is disposed on the buffer layer, and includes an optical pattern formed at a portion of the optical layer corresponding to the LED chip.
