Abstract
A lamp assembly, a backlight assembly and a LCD apparatus having the same are provided. The lamp assembly includes a lamp for emitting a light and a lamp holder for receiving one end of the lamp and for emitting a portion of the light emitted from the end of the lamp. The lamp holder has a transparent or semi-transparent material. The backlight assembly includes a light guiding plate for guiding the light emitted from the lamp and the lamp holder and for emitting the guided light and a receiving container for receiving the lamp assembly and the light guiding plate. Accordingly, the dark portion corresponding to the electrodes of the lamp may be reduced and brightness of the backlight assembly may be enhanced.
