Description
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a liquid crystal display, and more particularly, to an edge type and a direct type liquid crystal display including an LED.
LCDs have advantages of small size, thinness, and low power consumption, and are used in notebook PCs, office automation devices, and audio / video devices. In particular, an active matrix type liquid crystal display device using a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as "TFT") as a switching element is suitable for displaying dynamic images.
The liquid crystal display device includes a backlight unit, a liquid crystal panel, and a driving circuit unit, and a backlight unit is disposed on a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel in which upper and lower substrates interpose liquid crystal, and a driving circuit unit for controlling each of the liquid crystal panel and the backlight unit. The module is installed and completed.
In this case, the backlight unit is divided into an edge type and a direct type, and the division criterion of the method is related to the position of the light source.
The direct type is a method in which the light source is arranged in a constant arrangement on the rear surface of the light guide plate. The direct type has an advantage that high luminance can be obtained because the area for emitting light is large.
The edge type is a method in which the light source is disposed on at least one side of the light guide plate so that the light guide plate is incident on the upper surface by changing the direction of the light incident from the side surface. The edge type is a commonly used method because of the advantages of low power consumption, low cost, light weight, thinning.
The edge type backlight unit may include a light source that emits light, a light source array that mounts the light source, and a light guide plate that emits light from the light source on the side to a surface light source and emits light to the upper and lower surfaces, and light from the lower surface of the light guide plate. The reflective sheet reflects to the upper surface, and the diffusion sheet for diffusing and uniformizing the surface light source from the upper surface of the light guide plate to convert the surface light source into uniform and highly polished surface light source.
The light source may be any one of a light emitting diode (LED), a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), and an external electrofluorescent lamp (EEFL).
On the other hand, since the edge type liquid crystal display device has a light emitting function, the concept of using a separate light source called a backlight unit, the uniformity and luminance of the surface light source emitted from the backlight unit greatly affects the screen quality of the liquid crystal display device.
One of the components influencing the determination of the luminance is a light guide plate that first generates and generates a surface light source.
1 is a plan view of a light guide plate showing luminance measurement points in an edge type liquid crystal display. The luminance measuring points are seventeen points arranged at regular intervals on the light guide plate. The vertical column and horizontal column arrangements of the luminance measurement points are arranged at four constant intervals d and w. The gap between the edge of the light guide plate and the edge of the light guide plate is composed of 1 / 3d and 1 / 3w.
In this case, the
In addition, the
In general, the luminance of the surface light source generated in the light guide plate is the brightest in the center region and gradually decreases from the center region to the edge region.
2 is a spectrum illustrating luminance distribution on an upper surface of the light guide plate.
As shown in the figure, the color changes from red to green as it goes from the center area to the border area, which means that the luminance is reduced. In contrast to FIG. 1, the region 30 (FIG. 1) from the second point to the fourth point and the region 20 (FIG. 1) from the seventh point to the ninth point have luminance such that the edge area and the boundary are visible. Appearing bright.
Here, the light guide plate forms a pattern in the lower portion so as to emit a uniform surface light source whose luminance value decreases while going from the center region to the edge region.
FIG. 3A is a two-edge light guide plate lower pattern density graph in which light sources are disposed on both sides of the light guide plate, and FIG. 3B is a one-edge light guide plate lower pattern density graph in which light sources are disposed on one side of the LGP.
Referring to FIG. 3A, since light is scanned from both sides in the case of the two-edge type, the light emitting part is the central part where the area exposed to the light is the smallest and the area where the light is exposed the most.
Therefore, when the density of the lower pattern of the central portion is increased and the density of the lower pattern of the light incident portion is decreased, a uniform surface light source having the highest luminance in the central region can be obtained.
3B, since light is scanned from one side in the case of the one-edge type, the smallest area exposed to the light is the edge portion opposite to the light incident part, and the most exposed area is the light incident part.
Therefore, the density of the lower pattern is increased from the light incident part to the edge part.
On the other hand, the region 30 (FIG. 1) from the second point to the fourth point and the region 20 (FIG. 1) from the seventh point to the ninth point may have a small luminance between the luminance of the first point and the luminance of the edge area. Even if you have a, may not cause the screen stains or other problems.
However, as shown in FIG. 2, there is a problem that the luminance is higher than necessary to increase power consumption.
Therefore, in order to improve this, the density of the lower pattern of the light guide plate is widened to the left and right of the center area, but the brightness of the fifth and sixth points is also dispersed to the left and right, which may result in the bright area in the center becoming a rectangular shape.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention have an object to reduce unnecessary brightness and power consumption by varying the intensity of light emitted from the LED for each section on the LED array.

In addition, the LED array is characterized in that the same arrangement interval of the plurality of LEDs in a pair of symmetrical intervals across the middle section.

It is divided into three or more odd intervals having an interval, and characterized in that to reduce the current flowing in the plurality of LEDs in each interval from the middle section of the odd number of sections to both of the lateral direction.

FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating a path of light when light is incident by LEDs on both sides on a light guide plate having a lenticular lens array.
In the figure, the red area is the path through which most of the incident light travels. The red region does not spread from side to side but has a shape extending in one direction.
In the drawing, it can be seen that the present invention can greatly enhance the linearity of the incident LED by using the light guide plate having the lenticular lens array.
This means that the area where the light emitted by one LED affects the brightness of the light guide plate is defined, and the area may be one line area on the upper surface of the light guide plate according to the shape of the lenticular lens array, and thus part of the light guide plate. It also means that the brightness control for the line region can be adjusted using the placement and brightness of the LEDs.
On the other hand, by dividing a plurality of sections on the LED array to change the arrangement of the LED in each section, it is possible to implement the concept of a plurality of LED arrangement intervals to be widened from the middle section of the LED array toward the sections in both side directions.
In this case, the plurality of sections may be divided into even or odd numbers. However, when divided into odd numbers, since the center area is clearly designated, it is more preferable to divide into odd numbers. In this case, the odd-numbered sections may be divided into three or more odd-numbered sections such as three, five, seven, and the like.

As described above, the brightness of the light guide plate can be adjusted by the structure of the first embodiment of the present invention as described above.

The brightness in each line region extending in one direction corresponding to each section is changed.
In summary, a plurality of line regions extending in one direction corresponding to each section of the light guide plate are defined, and the plurality of line regions may adjust luminance of a part of the light guide plate because the brightness is different.

Accordingly, similar to the first embodiment, a plurality of line regions extending in one direction corresponding to each section are defined on the light guide plate, and the plurality of line regions may adjust luminance of a part of the light guide plate because the brightness is different.
FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating a luminance measurement point of the light guide plate, and FIG. 8B is a table comparing the first and second embodiments of the present invention with the prior art.
In FIG. 8A, the regions in which the LED array is disposed are the tenth, thirteenth and fifteen point regions, and the twelfth, fourteenth and seventeenth point regions.
The line region connecting the tenth point and the twelfth point is called an a line, and the line region connecting the fifteenth point and the seventeenth point is called an e line. It is called c line and d line.
Since the brightness of the LED array has the highest value in the middle section, the most light is scanned in the c line. In addition, since the lower pattern density of the LGP is most densely arranged in the central region of the LGP, the luminance is highest at the first point. On the other hand, the lowest luminance appears from the tenth point to the seventeenth point corresponding to the edge of the light guide plate. In this case, the luminance difference from the tenth point to the seventeenth point with respect to the first point is preferably 60% or less.
Next, a second large amount of light is scanned on the b-line and the d-line on either side of the c-line.
In this case, in the prior art, a plurality of LEDs of the LED array are arranged at equal intervals, and thus the same luminance as that of the LEDs scanned on the c line is scanned from the a-line to the e-line so that a higher luminance than necessary is shown at the points of the b-line and the d-line.
However, in the present invention, the luminous intensity of the LED array corresponding to the b-line and the d-line is lower than that of the LED array corresponding to the c-line so that the points of the b-line and the d-line (i.e., the second, third, and fourth points) 7th, 8th, and 9th points), luminance higher than necessary can be reduced.
If so, the first and second embodiments of the present invention will be distinguished from the prior art when the unnecessary luminance is reduced.
In the case of the first embodiment, compared to the prior art in which the spacing of the LEDs in the middle section is equally arranged in the entire area of the LED array in the first embodiment, the LED spacing is further increased from the middle section to the sections in both lateral directions. The wider the number of LEDs to be mounted than in the prior art. In other words, this means that power consumption is consumed smaller.
In addition, when the number of LEDs used in the prior art and the first embodiment is the same, the first embodiment of the present invention can provide a liquid crystal display having better luminance than the prior art.
In the second embodiment, compared to the prior art in which the current flowing through the LEDs in the center section is equally provided to the LEDs in the entire area of the LED array in the second embodiment, the LEDs are provided to the LEDs more gradually from the middle section to the both side sections. Since the current is reduced, the power consumed in the LED array is smaller than in the prior art.
8B, since the first embodiment of the present invention uses fewer LEDs than the prior art, and the second embodiment uses less current than the prior art, the luminous flux of the entire LED is about 10% lower than that of the prior art. .
Accordingly, the luminance of the first point is also about 4% lower than that of the prior art, but the luminance uniformity has a value of about 1.2, which is similar to that of the prior art. In this case, the luminance uniformity is a value obtained by dividing the minimum value from the highest value of the luminance values of 17 points.
According to the above results, the embodiments of the present invention do not deviate significantly from the range of specifications required by the finished product even if the luminance is provided about 4% lower within the range of no problem such as staining on the screen. It can provide a liquid crystal display device.
In addition, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device having a uniform luminance uniformity and a power consumption reduced by about 5% compared to the related art.
Here, the reduction of power consumption in the display field, which is becoming increasingly competitive in terms of price and power consumption, can provide a great competitive advantage.
FIG. 9A is a plan view showing a luminance distribution diagram of a light guide plate according to the related art. FIG. 9B is a plan view showing a luminance distribution diagram of a light guide plate according to a first embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 9C is a plan view showing a luminance distribution diagram of a light guide plate according to a second embodiment according to the present invention. Top view.
In FIG. 9A, the elliptical red stripe region surrounding the center region is distributed up and down widely. In FIGS. 9B and 9C, the red stripe region corresponding to FIG. 9A is distributed in a smaller round shape. The reason for this result is that the luminance of the second, third, fourth point and the seventh, eighth, and ninth points is lower than that of the prior art. However, the red stripe region is applied with a round uniform thickness, so the luminance uniformity is not significantly different from the prior art.
The third and fourth embodiments of the present invention are characterized by introducing the principles applied to the first and second embodiments into a direct type liquid crystal display.
