Abstract
A display apparatus includes a light guide plate, a light source unit, a display panel, a receiving container, and a driving part.

The light source unit generates the light and is positioned adjacent to the light incident surface. The display panel receives the light to display an image and the receiving container includes a bottom and sidewalls extended from the bottom to receive the light guide plate and the light source unit. The driving part is electrically connected to the display panel to apply a driving signal to the display panel and is electrically connected to the light source unit to apply a power source voltage to the light source unit.
