Description
본 발명은 LCD 모듈의 백라이트 어셈블리에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 램프 어셈블리로부터 빛샘이 발생하는 것을 방지한 LCD 모듈의 백라이트 어셈블리에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a backlight assembly of an LCD module, and more particularly, to a backlight assembly of an LCD module that prevents light leakage from a lamp assembly.
일반적으로, 정보화 사회에서 LCD의 개발은 눈부시게 발전하고 있으며 그 역할도 중요화되고 있다. LCD는 자체 발광을 하지 못하기 때문에 일반적으로 사용되는 투과형 LCD에서는 백라이트 어셈블리(backlight unit)가 꼭 필요하며, LCD의 성능은 LCD 자체만이 아니라 사용하는 백라이트의 성능에 의존하는 바가 크다. 이러한, 백라이트 어셈블리는 크게 도광판, 램프 어셈블리(lamp assembly) 및 몰드프레임(mold frame)으로 구성되어 있다.In general, the development of LCD in the information society is developing remarkably and its role is becoming important. Since the LCD does not emit light by itself, a backlight unit is required for a commonly used transmissive LCD, and the performance of the LCD depends not only on the LCD itself but also on the performance of the backlight used. Such a backlight assembly is mainly composed of a light guide plate, a lamp assembly, and a mold frame.
이와 같은 LCD는 주로 랩탑형 컴퓨터 또는 LCD 모니터 등과 같이 휴대가 용이한 제품에 많이 사용되므로 LCD의 경박단소화가 요구되고 있으며, 이를 실현하기 위해서 도 1에 도시 바와 같이 LCD 패널(10)의 화면유효영역(Active Area)의 가장자리에서 몰드 프레임까지의 거리(a)가 계속적으로 좁아지고 있는 추세이다.Such LCDs are mainly used in portable products such as laptop computers or LCD monitors, and thus, thin and small LCDs are required. To realize this, the effective screen area of the LCD panel 10 is illustrated in FIG. The distance (a) from the edge of the (Active Area) to the mold frame is steadily narrowing.
기존의 백라이트 어셈블리 구조(20)는 몰드프레임(30) 내부에 LCD의 광원으로 사용되는 램프 어셈블리(40)가 삽입되어 있다. 램프 어셈블리(40)는 광을 발산하는 램프(41)와 램프(41)에서 발산된 빛을 반사하기 위해 램프(41)를 감싸고 있는 램프 반사판(43)으로 구성되어 있다.In the conventional backlight assembly structure 20, a lamp assembly 40 used as a light source of the LCD is inserted into the mold frame 30. The lamp assembly 40 is composed of a lamp 41 emitting light and a lamp reflector 43 surrounding the lamp 41 to reflect light emitted from the lamp 41.
램프 어셈블리(40)에는 램프(41)에서 발산된 빛을 안내하는 도광판(51) 및 도광판(51)으로부터 새어나온 빛을 다시 도광판(41)으로 전달하는 반사시트(53)가 삽입되어 있다. 여기서, 반사시트(53)는 도광판(51)의 하부면에 설치되며 도광판(51)의 크기와 같거나 제작 공차로 인해 도광판(51)의 크기보다 작다.The lamp assembly 40 has a light guide plate 51 for guiding light emitted from the lamp 41 and a reflective sheet 53 for transmitting light leaked from the light guide plate 51 to the light guide plate 41. Here, the reflective sheet 53 is installed on the lower surface of the light guide plate 51 and is the same as the size of the light guide plate 51 or smaller than the size of the light guide plate 51 due to manufacturing tolerances.
또한, 도광판(51)의 상부면에는 도광판(51)의 크기보다 작고 몰드프레임(30)의 내측 가장자리와 소정간격 이격되어 시트류들(55)이 설치되어 있으며, 몰드프레임(30)의 상부면에는 하부 기판인 TFT 기판(61)과 상부 기판인 칼라필터 기판(63)으로 구성되어 있으며 정보를 디스플레이 해주는 LCD 패널(60)이 설치된다.In addition, the upper surface of the light guide plate 51 is smaller than the size of the light guide plate 51 and is spaced apart from the inner edge of the mold frame 30 by a predetermined distance, the sheets 55 are installed, the upper surface of the mold frame 30 The LCD panel 60, which consists of a lower substrate TFT substrate 61 and an upper substrate color filter substrate 63, displays information.
그러나, 종래 LCD 모듈의 백라이트 어셈블리는 반사판(43)과 시트류(55)들이 겹쳐지지 않고 단순하게 접촉되어 있거나 소정 거리 이격되어 있어 이 부분으로 빛샘 현상이 발생하게 되어 화면유효영역 부분이 다른 부분에 비하여 현저하게 밝아 보이는 문제점이 있다.However, in the backlight assembly of the conventional LCD module, the reflecting plate 43 and the sheets 55 are not overlapped and are simply contacted or spaced at a predetermined distance so that light leakage occurs in this area, so that the screen effective area is different from the other parts. There is a problem that looks remarkably bright compared to.
따라서 본 발명은 이와 같은 종래 문제점을 감안한 것으로써 본 발명의 목적은 백라이트 어셈블리의 반사판과 시트류들이 소정 면적만큼 겹쳐지도록 하여 빛샘을 방지하여 화면유효영역 부분에서 발생하는 휘도 증가를 방지함에 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to prevent light leakage by preventing light leakage by overlapping a reflector plate and sheets of a backlight assembly by a predetermined area, thereby preventing an increase in luminance occurring in an area of an effective screen area.
이와 같은 본 발명의 목적을 달성하기 위한 LCD 모듈의 백라이트 어셈블리는 몰드프레임과, 상기 몰드프레임에 고정되는 램프 및 램프 반사판으로 형성된 램프 어셈블리와, 상기 램프 어셈블리에 설치된 도광판과, 상기 도광판의 하부에 설치된 반사시트와, 상기 도광판의 상부에 설치되어 상기 도광판으로부터 안내된 광을 상기 TFT-LCD 패널에 전달하는 복수매의 시트류들을 포함하는 LCD 백라이트 어셈블리를 포함하며, 상기 램프 반사판은 화면 유효 영역까지 연장되어 상기 화면 유효 영역 부분에서 빛샘이 발생하는 것을 방지한다.In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a backlight assembly of an LCD module includes a mold frame, a lamp assembly formed of a lamp and a lamp reflector fixed to the mold frame, a light guide plate installed on the lamp assembly, and a lower portion of the light guide plate. An LCD backlight assembly including a reflective sheet and a plurality of sheets mounted on top of the light guide plate to transfer light guided from the light guide plate to the TFT-LCD panel, wherein the lamp reflector extends to an effective area of the screen; This prevents light leakage from occurring in the screen effective area portion.
바람직하게는, 상기 램프반사판이 상기 복수매의 시트류 중 적어도 하나의 시트류와 겹치도록 하여 상기 화면 유효 영역 부분에서 빛샘이 발생되는 것을 방지하도록 한다.Preferably, the lamp reflector is overlapped with at least one sheet of the plurality of sheets to prevent light leakage from occurring in the screen effective area.

The lamp assembly 140 includes a lamp 141 that emits light and a lamp 141 that surrounds the lamp 141 to reflect light emitted from the lamp 141, and a lamp having an inner surface plated with a reflector plate 143. .
램프 어셈블리(140)에는 램프(141)에서 발산된 광을 안내하는 도광판(151)과 도광판(151) 하부면에 설치되어 도광판(151)의 하부면으로 새어나온 빛을 다시 도광판(151)으로 전달하는 반사시트(153)의 일측면이 삽입되어 있다. 여기서, 반사시트(153)의 에지부는 도광판(151)의 에지부와 같거나 빛고임 현상을 제거하기 위해 도광판(151)의 에지부 보다 크게 설계되어 있다.The lamp assembly 140 is installed on the light guide plate 151 for guiding the light emitted from the lamp 141 and the lower surface of the light guide plate 151 to transfer the light leaked to the lower surface of the light guide plate 151 back to the light guide plate 151. One side of the reflective sheet 153 is inserted. Here, the edge portion of the reflective sheet 153 is designed to be the same as the edge portion of the light guide plate 151 or larger than the edge portion of the light guide plate 151 in order to eliminate light phenomena.
또한, 도광판(151)의 상부면에는 도광판(151)의 크기보다 작은 복수매의 시트류들(155)이 몰드프레임(130)과 소정간격 이격되어 설치되어 있으며, 몰드프레임(130)의 상부면에는 하부 기판인 TFT 기판(161)과 상부 기판인 칼라필터 기판(163)으로 구성되어 있으며 정보를 디스플레이 해주는 LCD 패널(160)이 설치된다. 여기서, 몰드프레임(130)에 시트류들(155) 및 LCD 패널(160)을 설치할 때는 LCD 패널(160)의 화면유효영역의 에지부분에서 빛샘 현상이 발생되는 것을 방지하기 위해서 LCD 모듈의 외관품질 검사 각도보다 시트류들(155)의 단부가 커야 한다.In addition, on the upper surface of the light guide plate 151, a plurality of sheets 155 smaller than the size of the light guide plate 151 is installed at a predetermined distance from the mold frame 130, and the upper surface of the mold frame 130 is provided. The LCD panel 160 is configured by the TFT substrate 161 which is a lower substrate and the color filter substrate 163 which is an upper substrate, and displays information. Here, when installing the sheets 155 and the LCD panel 160 in the mold frame 130, the appearance quality of the LCD module in order to prevent the light leakage phenomenon occurs in the edge portion of the screen effective area of the LCD panel 160 The ends of the sheets 155 should be larger than the inspection angle.
또한, 복수매의 시트류(155)중 램프 반사판(143)과 동일 평면에 있는 시트류(155)는 소정 면적 절취된 다음 램프 반사판(143)이 시트류들(155) 중 적어도 하나와 겹쳐지도록 한다.In addition, the sheets 155 in the same plane as the lamp reflecting plate 143 of the plurality of sheets 155 are cut off a predetermined area so that the lamp reflecting plate 143 overlaps at least one of the sheets 155. do.
이때 램프 반사판(143)은 화면유효영역까지 연장되어 화면 유효 영역에서의 빛샘을 방지하여 화면 유효영역에서의 휘도를 방지한다.At this time, the lamp reflector 143 extends to the screen effective area to prevent light leakage in the screen effective area to prevent luminance in the screen effective area.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 램프 반사판을 화면유효영역의 단부까지 연장하고 시트류와 연장된 램프 반사판을 겹치도록 하여 화면유효영역에서의 빛샘을 방지하여 균일한 휘도를 얻을 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, the lamp reflector extends to the end of the screen effective area and overlaps the sheets and the extended lamp reflector to prevent light leakage in the screen effective area, thereby obtaining uniform luminance.
