Description

BACKLIGHT UNIT [0001]

The present invention relates to a backlight unit.

The backlight unit (BLU) is a light source device included in the display device. For example, the liquid crystal screen of a liquid crystal display (LCD) does not emit light, so the light incident on the front side is reflected back to the mirror on the rear side of the liquid crystal, or the light is emitted from the back light unit. To display the screen.

The backlight unit is directly related to the brightness and power consumption of the display device. Accordingly, a light guide plate, a diffuser sheet, a diffuser plate, or the like may be designed to improve performance of the unit, or a cold cathode tube or a light emitting diode (LED) may be used. Researches such as designing the shape and arrangement of the light emitting body, researches for inducing light emission at low power, and the like are being conducted. In addition, attempts have been made to improve luminance by placing optical elements such as diffuser plates or retroreflective plates on top of light sources or light guide plates.

An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit.

The present invention, the light emitting body is located on the substrate; A monomer or polymer component attached to the top of the substrate; And a first pressure sensitive adhesive pad having a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer that is a cured product of the first pressure sensitive adhesive composition including scattering particles; And a monomer or a polymer component attached to an upper portion of the first adhesive pad; And a second pressure sensitive adhesive pad having a second pressure sensitive adhesive layer that is a cured product of the second pressure sensitive adhesive composition containing a larger amount of scattering particles than the first pressure sensitive adhesive composition.

Hereinafter, the backlight unit of the present invention will be described in detail.

The backlight unit may be used as a light source device of a display device such as a liquid crystal display, and in one example, the backlight unit may be a direct backlight unit (Direct BLU).

1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the backlight unit 1 according to one example. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the backlight unit 1 may include a substrate 10 and a light emitter 20 disposed on the substrate 10. The specific kind of the substrate included in the unit and the light emitting body present thereon is not particularly limited. In one example, the substrate may be a printed circuit board (PCB), and the light emitting body on the substrate may be a light emitting diode (LED). Such light emitting diodes may be arranged in a predetermined pattern on a printed circuit board. In addition, an appropriate reflective layer may be formed between the substrate and the light emitter. The reflective layer may serve to refract the light emitted from the light emitter upwards. The specific kind, design, and the like of the substrate and the light emitting body are not particularly limited. In the art, various structures, designs, materials, and the like of substrates and light emitters that may be used in the backlight unit are known, and all of the above contents may be applied to the backlight unit.

The unit includes first and second adhesive pads sequentially attached to the upper portion of the substrate. In the above description, "adhesion to the top" means that the pad is directly attached to the upper part of the adherend, as well as other elements on the upper part of the adherend, for example, an optical film or a plastic film. It also includes the case where is attached. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the backlight unit 1 may include a first adhesive pad 30 including a first adhesive layer 31 including scattering particles 32 on a substrate 10, and the first adhesive pad 30. The first adhesive pad 30 may include a second adhesive pad 40 attached to an upper portion of the adhesive pad 30 and having a second adhesive layer 41 including scattering particles 42.

It is preferable that the adhesive layer of a said 1st adhesive pad adheres to the upper part of the said board | substrate. In the above-mentioned "pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the upper part of a board | substrate", in the board | substrate with a light emitting body in the upper part, an adhesive layer is attached to the whole surface of the said board | substrate and a light emitting body, and is substantially between the said board | substrate, a light emitting body, and an adhesive layer. This means that there is no air gap. In the unit, it is preferable that the air layer is not substantially present between the first and second adhesive pads. In this manner, if the air layer is substantially excluded, the loss of light emitted from the light emitting body can be prevented and the luminance can be improved.

A pressure sensitive adhesive is a type of adhesive material, and exhibits viscoelastic properties while maintaining a semi-solid state, unlike an adhesive generally changing from liquid to solid after adhesion. By the above characteristics, the adhesive pad can be effectively adhered to the substrate while effectively overcoming the step by the light emitter. In addition, the adhesive pad is effective in the configuration of a flexible element without causing warping, lifting, or peeling even under severe conditions such as high temperature or high temperature and high humidity.

In the above, both the first and second adhesive pads include scattering particles, and the content of the scattering particles included in the first adhesive pad is relatively small compared to the content of the scattering particles included in the second adhesive pad. As described above, the first and second adhesive pads having controlled weight ratios of scattering particles are sequentially formed on the substrate, and the first adhesive pads scatter light from the light emitter and induce light toward the second adhesive pad. It acts as a layer and the second adhesive pad can act as a diffusion layer to diffuse scattered light.

Therefore, in the above unit, it is generally not necessary to separately install a diffuser plate provided in the backlight unit of the direct type, and the air layer existing between the light emitter and the diffuser plate can be eliminated, so that excellent luminance and A surface light source having luminance uniformity can be provided.
