Patent ID: 7427828

Claim:
A lamp apparatus for a liquid crystal display, comprising: a lamp capable of using a discharge of an external voltage applied to an electrode of the lamp to generate light for the liquid crystal display; a wire to deliver the external voltage to the lamp; and an L-shaped connector for electrically connecting the electrode of the lamp to the wire, the L-shaped connector directly contacting only the electrode of the lamp and a wire electrode provided at the end of the wire; a unifying means for integrally forming the electrode of the lamp and the wire electrically connected to each other via the connector, wherein the unifying means is an injection molded product for unifying an end of the lamp, the electrode of the lamp, the connector, the wire electrode, and the end of the wire, and wherein material of the injection molded product is molded around the L-shaped connector so as to be in direct contact with the entire surface of the L-shaped connector; wherein the L-shaped connector includes: a first curved wing to be pressed only around the electrode of the lamp; and a second curved wing to be pressed only around the wire electrode, wherein the first curved wing and the second curved wing are integrally formed.
