The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device.
Liquid crystal display is a flat panel display that displays images using liquid crystal. It is thin, light, and has low power consumption compared to other display devices. It is used.
Such a liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image and a backlight unit for supplying light to the liquid crystal display panel.
The liquid crystal display is classified into an edge type and a direct type according to the shape of the light source. The edge type backlight unit includes a light guide plate on a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and a light source is disposed at a side of the light guide plate to supply a surface light source to the liquid crystal display panel. The direct type backlight unit is applied to a large liquid crystal display device of 12 inches or more, and arranges a plurality of light sources on a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and supplies light emitted from the plurality of light sources to the front liquid crystal display panel.
As the light source of the backlight unit, EL (Electro Luminescence), CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), HCFL (Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), and a light emitting diode (LED) are used. Recently, a light emitting diode having excellent light efficiency and high color reproducibility has been used as a light source of a backlight unit. The light source may be a package light source consisting of red, green, and blue light emitting diodes, or a white light emitting diode light source.
However, the backlight unit using the light emitting diode as a light source has a disadvantage in that it does not realize uniform luminance due to the characteristics of the light emitting diode which is a kind of point light source. For example, there is a problem in that different luminance characteristics are exhibited in an incidence region corresponding to a region where a light emitting diode is disposed in a light guide plate of the backlight unit and an incidence region corresponding to a region where no light emitting diodes are disposed. In other words, hot spot defects of higher luminance than other areas occur in the region where light is directly emitted from the light emitting diode.
As described above, non-uniform luminance characteristics in the light guide plate finally cause deterioration of the screen quality of the liquid crystal display device.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a light diffusion pattern is formed in an incident region corresponding to a light emitting diode of a light guide plate of a backlight unit, so that light having uniform luminance is incident on the entire region of the light guide plate incident portion, and a liquid crystal display having the same. The object is to provide a device.
In addition, the present invention provides a backlight unit having a light reflecting pattern in a light guide plate incident region corresponding to a region in which the light emitting diode is not disposed in the light guide plate of the backlight unit to prevent a decrease in brightness due to light reflection in the light guide plate, and the backlight unit. Another object is to provide one LCD.
In order to achieve the above object, the backlight unit according to the present invention,
Light guide plate;
LED chips disposed in an area corresponding to one side of the light guide plate;
A light diffusion pattern formed on one side of the light guide plate corresponding to the LED chips; And
It includes an optical sheet disposed on the light guide plate.
In addition, the liquid crystal display device according to another embodiment of the present invention,
A liquid crystal display panel; And
Supplying a light source to the liquid crystal display panel, a light guide plate, LED chips disposed in a region corresponding to one side of the light guide plate, a light diffusion pattern formed on one side of the light guide plate corresponding to the LED chips and disposed on the light guide plate It includes; a backlight unit including the optical sheet;
A reflection pattern formed on the light guide plate between the light diffusion patterns is formed.
According to the present invention, a light diffusion pattern is formed in an incident region corresponding to the light emitting diode of the light guide plate of the backlight unit, so that light having uniform luminance can be incident on the entire region of the light guide plate incident portion.
In addition, the present invention forms a reflection pattern in the light guide plate incidence region corresponding to the region in which the light emitting diode is not disposed in the light guide plate of the backlight unit, so as to prevent a decrease in luminance in the reflection pattern formation region by light reflection in the light guide plate. It was.
