Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as "LCD") is a plurality of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix form and for supplying the image data for controlling the light transmittance by controlling the rotation angle of the liquid crystal to each of these liquid crystal cells A desired image is displayed on a screen by transmitting light supplied from a backlight unit to a liquid crystal panel provided with a TFT (thin film transistor).
As a light source used in such a backlight unit, a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (hereinafter referred to as 'CCFL') is mainly used. Such a backlight unit has a trend of miniaturization, thinning, and weight reduction. According to this trend, a light emitting diode (LED), which is advantageous in terms of power consumption, weight, and brightness, has been newly proposed instead of the CCFL used in the backlight unit.

An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit for a display device that can provide a high-quality display quality by improving the color separation phenomenon generated in the backlight unit using the LED as described above.
The present invention to achieve the above object, a plurality of LED mounted LED array; A light guide plate configured to be adjacent to the LED array; A reflection plate formed under the light guide plate; A diffusion pattern plate formed on the light guide plate or the reflection plate and including a plurality of diffusion beads; A lamp housing which adsorbs the LED array and binds an end portion of the light guide plate and the reflection plate; A backlight unit for a flat panel display device including a plurality of optical sheets disposed on the light guide plate is provided.
The diffusion pattern plate is characterized in that the incident light is diffused to distribute the elliptical.
The diffusion pattern plate may be configured on a lower surface of the light guide plate or on one or more of upper and lower surfaces of the reflective plate.
The diffusion pattern plate may be partially configured only in an area adjacent to the LED array in the light guide plate or the reflection plate.
The plurality of diffusion beads is characterized in that the glass or synthetic resin of the particulate form.
The diffusion pattern plate is characterized in that the resin or film which extends in one direction after distributing the plurality of diffusion beads in the resin composition.
The plurality of optical sheets may include a prism sheet and a diffusion sheet.
According to the present invention, the color separation phenomenon of the light emitted from the LED is improved in the flat panel display device using the LED as a light source, so that there is no light aggregation region where a specific region appears brighter than the surroundings, thereby improving display quality.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The backlight unit for a flat panel display device according to the present invention as described above is not limited to the first to third embodiments, but can be applied in various ways. For example, only the bottom surface of the reflective plate constitutes a diffusion pattern plate or The diffusion pattern plate may be configured on both the light guide plate and the reflecting plate. In addition, the diffusion pattern plate may be configured on the upper surface or the lower surface of the reflecting plate to cover the front surface of the reflecting plate. Therefore, the selection of the configuration may be variously performed according to the application of the designer.
