Patent ID: 8416360

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a PCB (printed circuit board) for light source that mounts a plurality of light sources which generate light illuminating directly on a back surface of the liquid crystal panel, supplies operation power to the light sources, and is disposed in a direction parallel to the liquid crystal panel; a bottom cover that includes a receiving unit of which bottom surface is opened and a seating space of which bottom surface is not opened, receives the PCB for light source, and directly exposes a part of a rear surface of the PCB for light source to an external environment through the receiving unit; a main PCB that supplies a driving signal to the liquid crystal panel and the PCB for light source; a panel guide that includes a lamination unit receiving the liquid crystal panel and an insertion space receiving the main PCB in a direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal panel; a first connector formed at a side of the PCB for light source to receive the driving signal; and a second connector formed at the main PCB in the seating space for coupling with the first connector, wherein the main PCB is inserted into the insertion space to be positioned within the seating space of the bottom cover, such that the main PCB is disposed at one side portion of the liquid crystal panel and the PCB for light source.
