The present invention relates to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having the same, and more particularly, to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having the same, which can prevent deterioration of optical characteristics due to the relative flow of the optical sheet and the light guide plate. will be.
Liquid crystal display is a display device that realizes an image by controlling the amount of light incident from a light source using the optical anisotropy of liquid crystal molecules and the polarization characteristics of a polarizing film. In recent years, its power consumption is small, and its application range is rapidly expanding.
The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal display panel including an upper substrate on which a black matrix, a color filter, and a common electrode are formed, a lower substrate on which a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode are formed, and a liquid crystal layer filled between two substrates. It further comprises a polarizing plate attached to both sides of the panel. In addition, the liquid crystal display panel does not emit light by itself, and thus requires a backlight unit that provides light at its rear surface so as to visually recognize the display contents.
The backlight unit includes a lamp unit, a light guide plate, a plurality of optical sheets disposed above the light guide plate, a reflective sheet disposed below the light guide plate, and an accommodating member for storing them. The light guide plate or the optical sheet may be formed with an optical pattern for achieving a desired purpose, such as improving the viewing angle and ensuring luminance uniformity. For example, a prism pattern having a cross section of a triangular, hemispherical, or lenticular structure may be formed on one side of the light guide plate or the optical sheet. Meanwhile, referring to the mounting process of the backlight unit, the reflective sheet is mounted on the bottom surface of the housing member, the light guide plate is fixed on the reflective sheet, and a plurality of optical sheets are sequentially stacked on the top surface of the light guide plate. In this case, the optical sheet is seated on the upper surface of the light guide plate without a separate fixing means or seated on a stepped portion formed on the sidewall of the accommodating member and fixed with double-sided tape.
However, the structure of such a backlight unit may flow within a certain range because the light guide plate and the optical sheet are not fixed to each other, which may cause friction or interference with each other, thereby damaging the optical pattern formed on either side. There is. If the optical pattern is damaged, a screen defect in the form of dots appears on the screen of the corresponding area. That is, a white point phenomenon occurs and display quality deteriorates.
The present invention is derived to solve the above problems, and by forming the edge region of the optical sheet to surround the side of the light guide plate, it is possible to prevent damage to the optical pattern and degradation of the optical properties due to the relative flow of the optical sheet and the light guide plate. An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device having the same.
The backlight unit according to the present invention for achieving the above object, a light source, a light guide plate for converting the light emitted from the light source into a surface light source and an optical sheet disposed on the light guide plate to surround at least one side of the light guide plate It includes.
The optical sheet includes a first region formed in an upper region of the light guide plate and a second region bent downward from an edge of the first region.
In the first region, a scattering pattern for diffusing light or a prism pattern for collecting light is preferably formed.
The second region is preferably formed to surround opposing side surfaces of the light guide plate.
Preferably, a bend line is formed at the boundary between the first region and the second region. The bending line may be formed by arranging a plurality of holes in a row or a plurality of rows.
The backlight unit may further include an adhesive member for bonding the light guide plate and the optical sheet. The adhesive member is preferably formed at the edge of the upper surface of the light guide plate, and may be formed of a double-sided tape.
A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention for achieving the above object includes a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image, and a backlight unit for providing light to the liquid crystal display panel, the backlight unit is a light source, A light guide plate for converting the emitted light into a surface light source and an optical sheet disposed on the light guide plate to surround at least one side of the light guide plate.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but will be implemented in various forms, and only the embodiments are intended to complete the disclosure of the present invention, and to those skilled in the art the scope of the invention. It is provided for complete information. Like reference numerals in the drawings refer to like elements.

An optical pattern according to a desired purpose is formed in the first area A1 so as to change the optical characteristics of the light incident in the lower direction to be emitted in the upper direction. For example, as shown in the present embodiment, a predetermined scattering pattern (not shown) may be formed in the first region A1 so as to scatter and diffuse light incident in a lower direction in an upper direction. In contrast, a prism having a cross section of a triangular, hemispherical, and lenticular structure is formed in the first region A1 so as to vertically change the light incident at an oblique angle among the light incident in the lower direction to condense the light emitted in the upper direction. A pattern (not shown) may be formed.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated with reference to the above-mentioned Example and an accompanying drawing, this invention is not limited to this, It is limited by the following claims. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be variously modified and modified without departing from the technical spirit of the following claims.
As described above, the optical sheet according to the present invention is attached to and fixed to the light guide plate by an adhesive member, and is formed to surround at least one side surface of the light guide plate. Therefore, since the friction or interference due to the relative flow of the light guide plate and the optical sheet does not occur, there is no fear that the optical pattern formed on either side will be damaged. As a result, no white spot phenomenon occurs and thus the display quality is not deteriorated. In addition, since the optical sheets are not fixed to the housing member, deterioration of the optical properties due to their relative flow can be prevented. Moreover, since a bending line is formed in the bending area | region of an optical sheet, assembly work is easy. In addition, since the optical sheet covers not only the upper surface of the light guide plate but also the side surface, it is possible to prevent diagonal light leakage or side light leakage due to scratches or processing errors of the light guide plate.
