Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a light guiding plate, a light source and a bottom receiving plate. The light source is disposed at a first side of the light guiding plate. The bottom receiving plate includes a bottom surface and a side wall to form a receiving space in which at least a portion of the light guiding plate is placed. The bottom surface is smaller than a lower surface of the light guiding plate and has a plurality of openings formed through the bottom surface. The side wall extends from the bottom surface.
Abstract:
A method of driving a display panel includes applying gate signals to gate lines of the display panel that extend in a first direction. A plurality of data lines extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Pixels are defined by an intersection of the gate lines and the data lines. Common electrode contact pixels are provided, in which a common electrode is contacted with a gate electrode extruded from the gate line. A data signal having a first polarity and a data signal having a second polarity, inverse to the first polarity, are applied to an equal number of the common electrode contact pixels.
