Description
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to a light guide plate, a backlight unit having the same, and a liquid crystal display device including the same.
In general, a liquid crystal display (LCD) is a device for displaying a desired image by adjusting the light transmittance of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix form according to image signal information. Form an image on the panel.
The liquid crystal display device using this principle has a tendency that its application range is gradually widening due to the characteristics of light weight, thinness, low power consumption, and the like. In accordance with this trend, liquid crystal displays have been used in office automation equipment, audio / video equipment, and the like. In such a liquid crystal display, the amount of light transmitted is adjusted according to a signal applied to a plurality of control switches arranged in a matrix to display a desired image on a screen.
Recently, liquid crystal displays have been widely applied to not only computer monitors and televisions but also display devices of vehicle navigator systems and portable display devices such as laptops and mobile phones.
Most of the liquid crystal display devices as described above are non-emissive type display devices that display an image by controlling the amount of light source coming from the outside, so that the backlight including a separate light source for irradiating light to the liquid crystal display panel. Requires unit
The backlight unit includes an LED element as a light source, a light guide plate coupled to a light exit surface of the LED element, and a plurality of sheets provided on the light guide plate.
A backlight unit having a light guide plate according to the related art having such a configuration will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
