A backlight assembly includes a receiving container, a reflecting member,
a light source, and a diffusion plate. The receiving container includes a
bottom plate and a sidewall upwardly protruded from sides of the bottom
plate. The sidewall has at least one recess. The reflecting member
includes a reflecting part and a fixing part extended from end portions
of the reflecting part to be inserted into the at least one recess. The
light source is disposed above the reflecting member to generate light.
The diffusion plate is disposed above the light source to diffuse the
light. As a result, the manufacturing process for fabricating the
reflecting member may be simplified and a size of the backlight assembly
may be decreased.
