Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a backlight unit. The present invention relates to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having the same, which can simplify manufacturing and reduce manufacturing costs, as well as realize uniform luminance.
BACKGROUND ART Liquid crystal display devices have tended to be gradually widened due to their light weight, thinness, and low power consumption. Accordingly, the liquid crystal display device is proceeding in the direction of large-sized, thin, and low power consumption in response to the demand of the user.
A general liquid crystal display device includes a thin film transistor including a lower substrate on which a pattern of a gate line, a data line, a pixel electrode, etc. is formed, and an upper substrate on which a pattern of a black matrix, a color filter, etc. are formed are bonded to each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. It includes a liquid crystal display panel.
Unlike the CRT, the liquid crystal display is not a display device that emits light by itself, and thus, a backlight unit including a separate light source is provided on the back of the liquid crystal display panel to provide light for visually representing an image.
The backlight unit is divided into an edge method and a direct method according to the position of the light source.
The edge type backlight unit is mainly applied to a relatively small liquid crystal display device such as a laptop computer and a desktop computer monitor, and has good light uniformity, long lifespan, and an advantage in thinning a liquid crystal display device. .
The direct type backlight unit began to be developed mainly as the size of the liquid crystal display device increased to 20 inches or more. will be. Such a direct-type backlight unit is mainly used for a large-screen liquid crystal display device which requires a high luminance because the utilization efficiency of light is higher than that of the edge type.
The backlight unit uses a plasma light source such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a hot cathode fluorescent tube (HCFL), an external electrode fluorescent tube (EEFL), and an external & internal electrode fluorescent tube (EIFL). Or a light emitting diode (LED) is used.
Among them, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for their advantages of long life, low power, small size, and high durability.
The edge type backlight unit with a light emitting diode (LED) includes a light guide plate for converting point light into surface light, and includes a diffusion sheet, a plurality of prism sheets, and a protective sheet disposed on the light guide plate. In addition, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are disposed on both side surfaces of the light guide plate.
However, a general edge type backlight unit includes a light guide plate for converting point light of a light emitting diode (LED) disposed on a side surface to surface light to provide light to a liquid crystal display panel, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost and weight of the light guide plate. There was a problem, and since a plurality of light emitting diodes which are symmetrical with each other along both sides of the light guide plate is provided, there is a limit in manufacturing saving thereof.
In addition, a general edge-edge backlight unit has a problem in that a luminance difference is generated between an edge region adjacent to an area where the light emitting diode is disposed and a center region of the light guide plate when light is incident on the light guide plate.
The present invention has a purpose of a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having the same, which can simplify manufacturing and reduce manufacturing costs as well as realize uniform luminance.
In a backlight unit according to an embodiment of the present invention,
A bottom cover with an upper surface opened; A plurality of light emitting diodes respectively provided at edges of the bottom cover; And a reflection sheet for directly reflecting the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting diodes in the upper direction and converting the light into surface light, wherein the reflection sheet has a plurality of inclined surfaces having different inclination angles.
According to another embodiment of the present invention,
A bottom cover with an upper surface opened; A plurality of light emitting diodes respectively provided at edges of the bottom cover; A reflective sheet for directly reflecting the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting diodes in a direction upward to convert the light into surface light; And a liquid crystal display panel on the reflective sheet, wherein the reflective sheet has a plurality of inclined surfaces having different inclination angles.
The backlight unit of the present invention described above is not converted to the surface light through the other medium different from the air from the first to fourth light emitting diodes, and is reflected on the reflective sheet and provided to the liquid crystal display panel, thereby minimizing light loss. Has
In addition, in the edge type backlight unit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first to fourth light emitting diodes are disposed at the corners of the bottom cover, and the first to fourth reflectors are formed by the reflective sheet having the first to fourth reflecting portions. As a structure for providing light emitted from the light emitting diode to the liquid crystal display panel, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by eliminating the light guide plate provided in the backlight unit of the general edge method, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of light emitting diodes. have.
In addition, the present invention implements a uniform brightness of the liquid crystal display panel by the first to fourth reflecting portions of the reflective sheet, so that the edge region and the light guide plate adjacent to the region where the light emitting diodes generated in the backlight unit of the general edge type are disposed. The luminance difference in the center area can be prevented.
