The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display, and more particularly, to a liquid crystal display having an edge type backlight in which a lamp is disposed on a side surface of a liquid crystal panel.
2. Description of the Related Art In general, a liquid crystal display device is a display device which can display a desired image by individually supplying data signals according to image information to pixels arranged in a matrix form and adjusting light transmittance of the pixels.
Accordingly, a liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel in which pixels are arranged in a matrix form, and a driver for driving the pixels.
The liquid crystal panel includes a thin film transistor array substrate and a color filter substrate bonded to each other so as to maintain a uniform cell gap, and a liquid crystal layer formed in a cell gap between the array substrate and the color filter substrate. And a liquid crystal layer.
At this time, a common electrode and a pixel electrode are formed on the liquid crystal panel in which the array substrate and the color filter substrate are bonded together to apply an electric field to the liquid crystal layer.
Therefore, when the voltage of the data signal applied to the pixel electrode is controlled while the voltage is applied to the common electrode, the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer is rotated by dielectric anisotropy according to the electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrode to transmit or block the light by each pixel is to display a text or image.
At this time, since the liquid crystal display device is a light-receiving device that can not emit light itself but displays an image by adjusting the transmittance of light coming from the outside, a separate device for irradiating light to the liquid crystal panel, that is, a backlight is required .
The backlight is disposed on one side or both sides of the liquid crystal panel so that the light is reflected, diffused, and condensed through the light guide plate, the reflection plate, and the optical sheet to be transmitted to the front surface of the liquid crystal panel. type and a direct type in which a lamp is disposed on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel so that light is transmitted directly to the front surface of the liquid crystal panel.

4 is a diagram for explaining a phenomenon in which total internal reflection occurs.
Referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that light incident from the light guide plate into the air is incident on the light medium in a dense medium, and the refracted angle? R becomes larger than the incident angle? I.
At this time, the refraction angle [theta] r becomes larger as the incident angle [theta] i becomes larger. The incident angle [theta] i when the refraction angle [theta] r becomes 90 degrees is referred to as a critical angle.
When the incidence angle? I is gradually increased as described above, the total reflection occurs when the angle is greater than a specific angle, that is, a critical angle or more. By using such a principle, the darkness of the screen edge can be improved.
Referring to Equation (1), light incident from the light guide plate into the air is totally reflected at an incident angle of about 48 degrees or more.
In this case, n and n1 are the refractive indexes of the light guide plate and air, respectively, and n1 is 1.55 when the light guide plate is formed of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
