Patent ID: 7431468

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a lamp assembly including: a plurality of lamps, each lamp including a lamp tube and first and second electrodes disposed on the lamp tube, a plurality of first power supply modules, each first power supply module including a plurality of first power supply contacts that are electrically connected to each other and each coupled to a corresponding first electrode to supply a first voltage to each first electrode, a plurality of second power supply modules, each second power supply module including a plurality of second power supply contacts that are electrically connected to each other and each coupled to a corresponding second electrode to supply a second voltage to each second electrode, a first insulating partition disposed between adjacent first power supply modules, and a second insulating partition disposed between adjacent second power supply modules; and a base body including sidewalls forming a receiving space in which the first power supply modules, the second power supply modules, the first insulating partition and the second insulating partition are disposed; wherein a pair of power supply modules includes a first power supply module of the plurality of first power supply modules and a second power supply module of the plurality of second power supply modules, the first power supply contacts and the second power supply contacts of the pair of power supply modules are connected to a respective one of a plurality of power supplies through a first single power supply line and a second single power supply line, respectively; a receiving container receiving the lamp assembly; a liquid crystal display panel assembly disposed in the receiving container and receiving light emitted from the lamp assembly; and a chassis fixed to the receiving container and pressing an edge of the liquid crystal display panel assembly such that the liquid crystal display panel assembly is prevented from being separated from the receiving container.
