The present invention relates to a light emitting device and a display device employing the same as a light source, and more particularly, to a spacer for maintaining a distance between a first substrate and a second substrate in a light emitting device.
A display device having a light receiving display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel requires a light source for providing light to the display panel. In general, light emitting devices having a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) and a light emitting diode (LED) type are widely used as light sources of display devices.
Since the CCFL is a linear light source, the light generated by the CCFL can be evenly dispersed toward the display panel through the optical sheet such as the diffusion sheet, the diffusion plate, and the prism sheet. However, in the CCFL method, since the light generated by the CCFL passes through the optical member, considerable light loss occurs, and power consumption is high because the light must be emitted at a high intensity from the CCFL in consideration of the light loss. In addition, the CCFL method is difficult to apply to a large display device of 30 inches or more because it is difficult to large area structure.
A plurality of LEDs are usually provided as a point light source and constitute a backlight unit by being combined with optical members such as a reflective sheet, a light guide plate, a diffusion sheet, a diffusion plate, and a prism sheet. This LED method has the advantages of fast response speed and excellent color reproducibility, but has a disadvantage of high price and large thickness.
Accordingly, recently, a light emitting device that emits light using an electron emission characteristic by an electric field has been proposed as a light emitting device to replace the CCFL method and the LED method. This light emitting device has advantages of low power consumption, large size, and no need for a large number of optical members as surface light sources.
However, the light emitting device includes a spacer between the first substrate and the second substrate to support the compressive force generated by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the vacuum container. This spacer is located in the black layer and is typically designed to be as small as possible so as not to cause visibility problems of the spacer. As the size of the spacer decreases, the area occupied by the spacer on the substrate also decreases.
Here, the visibility problem of the spacer refers to a phenomenon in which the spacer is sensed due to a difference in luminance or the like in the place where the spacer is located and other places due to the electron beam distortion phenomena around the spacer.
If the area occupied by the spacer is small, the visibility problem of the spacer may be improved, but loading work for mounting the spacer on the substrate becomes difficult, and in some cases, the spacer may be dropped from the substrate.
On the contrary, if the area occupied by the spacer becomes large, a problem of visibility of the spacer occurs, and optical members having a low transmittance and a high diffusivity are required to remove the spacer. Therefore, a problem arises in that the light loss due to this optical member is increased.
Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to minimize the light loss generated from the optical member that can be disposed due to the visibility of the spacer while the optimal area ratio to ensure the convenience of the spacer loading operation A light emitting device having a spacer having a light emitting device and a display device using the light emitting device as a light source are provided.
A light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate, which are disposed to face each other and constitute a vacuum container, an electron emission unit provided on the first substrate, and an electron emission unit provided on the second substrate. A light emitting unit which emits light by electrons emitted by the light emitting device, and a spacer which maintains a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the second substrate includes an effective region where actual light is emitted and an invalid region located outside the effective region. The following conditions are satisfied when the area of the spacer located in the effective area is S1 and the area of the effective area is S2.
0.1% ≤ (S1 / S2) x 100 ≤ 1.5%
The spacer may have a columnar or wall shape.
The light emitting unit may include a fluorescent layer and an anode electrode formed on one surface of the fluorescent layer, and the anode electrode may receive a voltage of 10 kV or more. The fluorescent layer may be separated into a plurality, and a black layer may be further formed between the fluorescent layers.
The electron emission unit may emit electrons electrically connected to one of the first and second electrodes and any one of the first and second electrodes formed along an intersecting direction while maintaining an insulation state. It may include wealth. The electron emission unit may include at least one of a carbonaceous material and a nanometer size material.
