ABSTRACT:
A backlight assembly includes a light source unit, a reflective element, a receiving container and a diffusion plate. The light source unit has at least one point light source, and the point light source emits light toward a side surface direction. The reflective element has a reflective surface, and the reflective surface is separated from the point light source toward the side surface direction by a predetermined distance for reflecting the light from the point light source toward an upper direction. The receiving container has a bottom plate and a side wall, for receiving the light source unit and the reflective element. A diffusion plate is disposed over the light source unit and the reflective element. Thus, uniform brightness may be enhanced, and the thickness of a display apparatus may be reduced.
