1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display panel;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed behind the display panel and spaced from the display panel to emit light toward the display panel; and
a reflective member configured to reflect light incident thereon toward the display panel,
wherein the reflective member comprises:
a reflective bottom portion, and
a reflective inclined portion obliquely formed to face a rear surface of the display panel,
wherein the reflective inclined portion comprises:
a plurality of first regions that respectively correspond to LEDs, among the plurality of LEDs, being located adjacent to the reflective inclined portion, and
a plurality of second regions,
wherein each of the plurality of second regions is provided between two neighboring first regions,
the plurality of first regions comprise a plurality of light adjusting members,
the plurality of second regions and neighboring first regions are on the reflective inclined portion,
each of the plurality of first regions comprises a group of light adjusting members, among the plurality of light adjusting members,
the group of light adjusting members of each of the plurality of first regions is disposed to correspond to one of the LEDs disposed adjacent to the reflective inclined portion, and
the two neighboring first regions have more light adjusting members, respectively, than one of the plurality of second regions disposed therebetween.
