Abstract

An edge type backlight unit and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The edge type backlight unit includes light sources for providing light, a printed circuit board (PCB) on which the light sources are mounted, a metal bracket that contacts the printed circuit board and dissipates heat of the printed circuit board, and a thermal hardener formed between the printed circuit board and the metal bracket. The printed circuit board supplies an electrical signal for driving the light sources to the light sources.
