Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
A CRT (cathode ray tube), which is one of the widely used display devices, is mainly used for monitors such as a TV, a measurement device, and an information terminal device. However, due to the weight and size of the CRT itself, Could not respond positively to the response of
Therefore, in the trend of miniaturization and weight reduction of various electronic products, CRT has a certain limit in weight and size, and is expected to replace the liquid crystal display (LCD) and gas discharge using electro-optic effects. Plasma Display Panel (PDP) and Electro Luminescence Display (ELD) using the electroluminescent effect, and the like, among them, researches on liquid crystal displays are being actively conducted.
BACKGROUND ART Liquid crystal display devices have tended to be gradually widened due to their light weight, thinness, and low power consumption. Accordingly, the liquid crystal display device is proceeding in the direction of large-sized, thin, and low power consumption in response to the demand of the user.
BACKGROUND ART A liquid crystal display device is a display device that displays an image by controlling an amount of light passing through a liquid crystal, and is widely used for advantages such as thinning and low power consumption.
Unlike the CRT, the liquid crystal display is not a display device that emits light by itself, and thus, a back light unit including a separate light source is provided on the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel to provide light for visually representing an image. .
The backlight unit is divided into an edge method and a direct method according to the position of the light source.
The edge type backlight unit is mainly applied to a relatively small liquid crystal display device such as a laptop computer and a desktop computer monitor, and has good light uniformity, long lifespan, and an advantage in thinning a liquid crystal display device. .
The direct type backlight unit began to be developed mainly as the size of the liquid crystal display device increased to 20 inches or more. will be. Such a direct-type backlight unit is mainly used for a large-screen liquid crystal display device which requires a high luminance because the utilization efficiency of light is higher than that of the edge type.
The backlight unit uses a plasma light source such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a hot cathode fluorescent tube (HCFL), an external electrode fluorescent tube (EEFL), and an external & internal electrode fluorescent tube (EIFL). Or a light emitting diode (LED) is used.
Among them, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for their advantages of long life, low power, small size, and high durability.
A general liquid crystal display device includes two liquid crystal display panels and a backlight unit between the two liquid crystal display panels for a bidirectional display.
Such a liquid crystal display device for two-way display is provided with two backlight units for providing light to the two liquid crystal display panels, respectively.
For example, a general liquid crystal display device for a bidirectional display includes two light guide plates for converting point light or flash light from a light source into surface light, and a reflective plate or a transflective plate is provided between the two light guide plates. Another general liquid crystal display device for a bidirectional display uses a single light guide plate, but a diffuser plate is provided at upper and lower portions of the light guide plate to guide light to the liquid crystal display panels provided on both sides.
As described above, a general liquid crystal display device for a bidirectional display has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to slim the reflective plate or the transflective plate or a plurality of diffuser plates for the bidirectional display, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost and weight.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device having the backlight unit, which is advantageous for slimming and lightening.
In a backlight unit according to an embodiment of the present invention,
A light source unit disposed on at least one side to emit light; A first light guide plate for converting light from the light source unit into surface light and emitting the light in a first direction; A second light guide plate for converting light from the light source unit into surface light and emitting the light in a second direction different from the first direction; And a light refraction adhesive pattern formed between the first and second light guide plates to refract the light from the light source unit and to fix the first and second light guide plates.
According to another embodiment of the present invention,
A light source unit disposed on at least one side to emit light; A first light guide plate for converting light from the light source unit into surface light and emitting the light in a first direction; A second light guide plate for converting light from the light source unit into surface light and emitting the light in a second direction different from the first direction; A first liquid crystal display panel on the first light guide plate; A second liquid crystal display panel on the second light guide plate; And a light refraction adhesive pattern formed between the first and second light guide plates to refract the light from the light source unit and to fix the first and second light guide plates.
The present invention refracts the light from the light source unit between the first and second light guide plates formed in a wedge shape or a flat shape which are symmetrical to each other to provide uniform light throughout the first and second light guide plates. The optical refractive adhesive pattern is formed to keep the spaced interval of the second light guide plate constant so that the structure can be simplified by eliminating the configuration of a diffuser plate, a reflector plate, or a semi-transmissive reflector plate included in a general liquid crystal display device for a bidirectional display. But it has an advantage in slimming.
In addition, the present invention has the advantage of reducing the manufacturing cost and light weight by simplifying the structure of the backlight unit.
In addition, the present invention has the advantage that the first and second light source units facing each other on the side surfaces of the first and second light guide plate to achieve a slimmer and at the same time improve the brightness.
