Description
The present invention relates to a light emitting diode chip, a method for manufacturing the same, and a liquid crystal display device including the light emitting diode chip, and more particularly, light of a light emitting diode chip using diffuse reflection by spherical grains formed on the surface of a transparent conductive thin film layer. A light emitting diode chip for improving the extraction efficiency, a manufacturing method thereof, and a liquid crystal display device including the light emitting diode chip.
Recently, as the information society develops, the demand for the display field is increasing in various forms, and in response, various flat panel display devices, for example, liquid crystal, which have features such as thinning, light weight, and low power consumption Liquid crystal display devices, plasma display panel devices, electroluminescent display devices, and the like have been studied.
Among these, the liquid crystal display is one of the most widely used flat panel display devices, and includes a liquid crystal layer between the two substrates and the two substrates on which the pixel electrode and the common electrode are formed.
Such a liquid crystal display determines an orientation of liquid crystal molecules of a liquid crystal layer according to an electric field generated by a voltage applied to an electrode, and controls polarization of incident light to display an image.
The liquid crystal display device does not have a light emitting device, and thus a separate light source must be provided. The light source is called a backlight unit (BLU). Here, as a light source of the backlight unit, a light emitting diode (LED) having small size, low power consumption, high reliability, and the like is widely used. In general, the backlight unit may be broadly classified into a side type backlight unit and a direct type backlight unit.
In the side type backlight unit, the LED assembly is disposed on the side of the liquid crystal display to supply light to the liquid crystal panel through the reflection plate and the light guide plate, and the thickness of the side backlight unit is mainly used in a notebook or the like.
On the other hand, in the direct type backlight unit, the LED assembly is disposed on the back of the liquid crystal display, and the light is irradiated to the front of the liquid crystal panel through the backlight unit, so that high level is possible, and is mainly used in LCD TVs. .

In general, light may be refracted due to the difference in refractive index of the medium at the boundary of the medium, and the degree of refraction is related to the angle of incidence and the refractive index of each medium.
At this time, total reflection occurs when the incident angle of the light incident on the dense medium becomes greater than or equal to the critical angle in the case where the dense medium (the medium having the large refractive index) enters the small medium (the medium having the small refractive index).
Therefore, in the light emitting diode chip as described above, since light enters the air having a small refractive index (n = 1) from the transparent conductive thin film layer having a large refractive index (n = 1.9), as shown in FIG. Among the light emitted, the light incident at an angle of incidence greater than or equal to the critical angle is totally reflected and cannot go out of the light emitting diode chip.
As a result, the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip is reduced.
