Liquid crystal display module and liquid crystal display apparatus having the same

Abstract

A liquid crystal display module includes a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight assembly, a circuit board and a timing controller. The circuit board includes a first connector receiving a data signal and a second connector separated from the first connector and receiving a power supply voltage. The timing controller receives the power supply voltage from the second connector and the data signal from the first connector, and processes the data signal. The first connecter includes a first and a second integrated type connector, the second integrated type connector receiving image signals and control signals which controls operation of the liquid crystal display panel through the first integrated type connector from a user connecting part and providing image and control signals to the timing controller.
