Abstract
A method of manufacturing a light guide plate that provides a movement path of light incident from the outside may include applying a liquid leveling agent to an incident surface of a light guide plate body to which light is incident, and curing the liquid leveling agent to an incident surface of the light guide plate body. Forming a planarization layer.
Description
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a light guide plate and a light guide plate, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a light guide plate excellent in light transmission efficiency and a light guide plate.
Recently, flat panel displays such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display panel, and an organic light emitting diode are used in place of a cathode ray tube. Among the flat panel display devices, the liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel constituting a screen and a backlight unit for supplying light to the liquid crystal panel because the liquid crystal display device is a non-light emitting device that cannot generate light by itself. The light source unit of the backlight unit uses a line light source such as a lamp or a point light source such as a light emitting diode, and the point light source may be mounted on a substrate.

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a light guide plate having excellent light transmission efficiency and a light guide plate. In particular, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a light guide plate and a light guide plate capable of providing a scattering protrusion provided in order to uniformize the luminance of light passing through the light guide plate with a smaller diameter.
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a light guide plate and a light guide plate in which afterimages due to scattering projections are not visible even if the thickness of the light guide plate is reduced.
The present invention provides a light guide plate manufacturing method and a light guide plate which can easily form scattering protrusions on a large light guide plate that can be applied to a liquid crystal display device which is gradually being enlarged.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the method of manufacturing a light guide plate for guiding a movement path of light incident from the outside, the step of forming a photosensitive resin layer by applying a photosensitive resin on the upper surface or the bottom surface of the light guide plate body, and The photosensitive resin layer may be treated by a photolithography process to form scattering protrusions.
By forming the scattering protrusions by a photolithography process, it is easy to form the diameter of the scattering protrusions to a size of 400 μm or less, and more scattering protrusions on the area of the same light guide plate as compared with the conventional scattering protrusions having a diameter of 600 μm or more. It can be arranged, which is much more advantageous to make the luminance of light passing through the light guide plate uniform.
In addition, as in the related art, when the diameter of the scattering protrusions is about 600 μm, a problem of the appearance of the scattering protrusions is dimly visible from the outside, and it is difficult to form the thickness of the light guide plate to 2 mm or less, but the diameter of the scattering protrusions Even if the thickness of the light guide plate is formed to be less than 400 μm and the thickness of the light guide plate body is formed to be 2 mm or less, the afterimage caused by scattering protrusions does not occur. Thus, the thickness of the light guide plate is reduced, thereby making the overall thickness of the liquid crystal display device thin. There is an advantage to this.
On the other hand, in the case where the light source portion for providing light to the light guide plate is disposed on the side of the light guide plate, the scattering projection is denser so that the number of light incident from the side where the light guide plate is disposed and gradually increases along the path of light passing through the light guide plate. In this way, it is possible to improve the luminance of light that can fall away from the incident surface. In addition, the photosensitive resin may include a scattering material, and the scattering material may be more scattered or reflected by the scattering material at the emission surface of the light guide plate, thereby preventing the afterimage caused by the scattering protrusions from being visible from the outside. As the scattering material, at least one of TiO 2 and SiO 2 may be used.
In addition, according to the method of manufacturing a light guide plate according to the present invention, it is easy to manufacture a light guide plate which is enlarged together in accordance with the trend of a liquid crystal display device which is gradually enlarged in recent years. Specifically, in the case of forming the scattering protrusions through the conventional silk screen printing method or injection using a mold, it is difficult to manufacture a light guide plate of 42 inches or more, but the scattering protrusions according to the present invention are enlarged by being formed through a photolithography process. It is easy to form scattering protrusions on the light guide plate.
In addition, after the photolithography process, a heat treatment step of applying heat to the scattering protrusion may be further performed, in order to smooth the surface of the scattering protrusion through the heat treatment process, and the surface of the smoothed scattering protrusion is emitted to the exit surface of the light guide plate. Scattering and reflection of light can be made more uniform.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the light guide plate for guiding the movement path of the light incident from the outside is formed on the light guide plate body and the top or bottom surface of the light guide plate body, the photosensitive resin is provided by a photolithography process It may include scattering projections.
By forming the scattering protrusion in the light guide plate of the present invention and the light guide plate by a photolithography process, the diameter of the scattering protrusion can be easily formed to a size of 400 μm or less, and compared with a conventional scattering protrusion having a diameter of 600 μm or more. More scattering projections can be placed on the area of the light guide plate, which is much more advantageous to make the luminance of light passing through the light guide plate uniform.
A scattering material may be included in the method of manufacturing the light guide plate of the present invention and the photosensitive resin for scattering protrusions in the light guide plate. This can be compared with the difficulty in forming protrusions of 600 μm or less by including scattering material because ink is hardened and clogged in the fine holes formed in the stencil when forming protrusions through the silk screen method.
In the manufacturing method of the light guide plate and the light guide plate of the present invention, even after the thickness of the light guide plate body is formed to be 2 mm or less, the phenomenon of afterimages due to scattering protrusions does not occur. It can manufacture.
