2. Description of the Related Art A liquid crystal display device mainly used for a flat panel display cannot emit light by itself, but merely adjusts the transmittance of light and requires a light source such as a backlight. The backlight device has a light source provided on the bottom surface of the liquid crystal display device and directly illuminates the entire surface of the substrate, and a light source provided on one or both sides of the substrate to reflect and diffuse light rays to a light guide plate and a reflection plate. ), And currently edge-type backlight devices are mainly used. However, since the brightness of the edge type backlight device is lower than that of the direct type backlight device, a method of condensing light using two prism sheets is used to compensate for this to some extent.
