The present invention relates to a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device. In particular, the present invention relates to an edge type backlight unit having a slide type LED package mounting structure.
The liquid crystal display of the active matrix driving method displays a moving image using a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as TFT) as a switching element. The liquid crystal display device can be miniaturized compared to a cathode ray tube (CRT), which is applied to a display device in a portable information device, an office device, a computer, and a TV, and is rapidly replacing a cathode ray tube.
The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight unit for irradiating light to the liquid crystal display panel, a light source driving circuit for driving a light source of the backlight unit, a data driving circuit for supplying a data voltage to data lines of the liquid crystal display panel, and a liquid crystal And a gate driving circuit for supplying scan pulses to gate lines (or scan lines) of the display panel, and a control circuit for controlling the driving circuits.
The backlight unit is roughly divided into a direct type and an edge type. The direct type backlight unit has a structure in which a plurality of optical sheets and a diffusion plate are stacked below the liquid crystal display panel and a plurality of light sources are disposed below the diffusion plate.
The edge type backlight unit may be implemented to be thinner than the direct type backlight unit. Currently, LCD devices have been changing from light source to light emitting diode (LED). In particular, an edge type backlight unit for arranging LEDs that can be easily disposed is used. The higher the temperature, the lower the efficiency and lifetime of the LED. In order to solve this problem, LEDs are mounted on a metal printed circuit board (PCB) having excellent heat dissipation performance.

The edge type backlight unit EBLU is disposed between the cover bottom CB, the light guide plate LG mounted on the bottom surface in the cover bottom CB, and between the side surface of the light guide plate LG and the cover bottom CB. LG) is provided with a light source for irradiating light to the side. Light sources use fluorescent lamps, but they also use LED arrays (LEDARs) with low power consumption and improved brightness. The LED array LEDAR is arranged to allow light to enter the side of the light guide plate LG by attaching to the vertical surface of the cover bottom CB. The LGP refracts the propagation path of the light incident from the LED array LEDAR at an angle substantially perpendicular to the light incident surface of the liquid crystal display panel LCDP. Optical sheets OPT are disposed between the light guide plate LG and the liquid crystal display panel LCDP. The optical sheets OPT may include at least one prism sheet, at least one diffusion sheet, and the like to diffuse light incident from the light guide plate LG.
