However, if the number of light emitting diodes is increased or the number of optical sheets is increased, manufacturing costs may increase. In addition, when the number of optical sheets is increased to improve the luminance characteristics of the backlight unit, a problem arises in that the thickness of the liquid crystal display is increased.
Therefore, the liquid crystal display device requires a technology that can meet the required luminance conditions while reducing the manufacturing cost by reducing the number of light emitting diodes and the number of optical sheets.
The present invention is to provide a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device by improving the light diffusion characteristics while reducing the number of optical sheets by integrating the functions of a plurality of optical sheets in two optical sheets.

In addition, a liquid crystal display device according to another embodiment of the present invention, a liquid crystal display panel; And
And a backlight unit for supplying light to the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight unit includes a light source for generating light, a first optical sheet and a second optical sheet for collecting and diffusing the light source, and the first optical sheet. In the optical sheet, a plurality of prism patterns are formed on the front surface, and a first light diffusion layer in which a plurality of diffusion beads and a binder are mixed is formed on the rear surface, and the second optical sheet has a plurality of diffusion beads, adhesive beads, and binders on the front surface. The mixed second light diffusion layer is formed.

That is, the light sources passing through different media perform a plurality of diffusion, refraction, and scattering actions, and are then focused in the prism pattern of the first
Therefore, as in the prior art, although the thickness (formerly three sheets: 460 µm-> 2 sheets of the present invention: 250 µm) is smaller than the structure in which the diffusion sheets are arranged on both sides between the prism optical sheets, the light diffusion step is almost similar. Thus, the luminance characteristics are almost the same.
Therefore, although two optical sheets are used in the present invention, the same luminance characteristics as those using three or more optical sheets can be realized. As a result, manufacturing costs of the liquid crystal display and the backlight unit can be reduced, and thickness can be realized.
6 is a chart comparing the optical characteristics when using the conventional three-sheet optical sheet and when using the two-sheet optical sheet of the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 6, in the three-layer structure of the conventional diffusion sheet, prism sheet and diffusion sheet, the luminance characteristic of the central region is 100%, and the luminance characteristic of the central region of the two-structure structure of the present invention is 99%.
In addition, it can be seen that the luminance uniformity and the contrast ratio CR are similar to those of the conventional three-sheet structure and the present invention. In particular, in the present invention, it can be seen that the vertical viewing angle and the horizontal viewing angle characteristics are wider than the conventional three-sheet structure.
In particular, although two optical sheets are used in the present invention, it can be seen that defects in the diffuse pattern (FOS) formed on the light guide plate do not look the same as the conventional three-sheet structure.
As described above, the optical sheet structure of the present invention uses less optical sheets than the prior art, but has an advantage of realizing almost the same luminance and contrast ratio.
