Abstract
The present invention relates to a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly to a diffuser plate of a backlight unit.
A feature of the present invention is to provide a diffuser plate having a domed lenticular lens formed on an upper surface thereof, and a diffraction grating formed on a valley portion of the lenticular lens.
Accordingly, the thickness of the liquid crystal display device can be reduced by reducing the distance between the lamp and the diffuser and the distance between the lamp and the reflector, while preventing defects such as a conventional lamp mura phenomenon.
In addition, a liquid crystal display device having more uniform luminance can be provided.

LCD, plasma display panel device (PDP), electroluminescence display device (ELD), field emission display device (FED), etc. : It is rapidly replacing CRT.
Among them, liquid crystal display devices are used most actively in the fields of notebooks, monitors, TVs, etc. due to their excellent contrast ratio and high contrast ratio. These liquid crystal display devices are devices that do not have their own light emitting elements. Will require a light source.
As a result, a backlight unit having a lamp is provided on the rear side to irradiate light toward the front of the liquid crystal panel, thereby realizing an image of identifiable luminance.
On the other hand, the general backlight unit is divided into an edge type (edge type) and a direct type (direct type) according to the arrangement of the lamp, the edge type has a structure in which one or a pair of lamps are disposed on one side of the light guide plate, Two or two pairs of lamps have a structure in which both sides of the light guide plate are arranged, and the direct type has a structure in which several lamps are arranged under the optical sheet.
In recent years, in the state of active research on large-area liquid crystal display devices according to consumer demand, the direct method is more suitable for the large-area liquid crystal display device than the edge method.

In this case, the haze characteristic is a phenomenon in which light is diffused according to the intrinsic properties of the material in addition to reflection or absorption depending on the type of material when light passes through the transparent material, and an opaque cloudy appearance appears. Is measured according to Equation 1 below.
Equation 1
By adjusting the haze value, the desired brightness and viewing angle can be realized. When the haze value is 30% or less, the light diffusion rate is low and the viewing angle is narrowed. When the haze value is 90% or more, the light transmittance is low and the luminance is low. You lose.
