In the backlight unit disclosed in the prior art, a blue light emitting diode applies a method of supplying white light generated by emitting a quantum dot sheet to a liquid crystal panel. However, the quantum dot backlight unit of this type can not only uniformly supply white light to the liquid crystal panel So that the improvement of the contrast ratio is limited.
In the direct-type LED backlight unit, the individual light emitting diodes can be independently controlled to improve the contrast ratio. However, since the packaged LEDs have limitations in volume reduction, the contrast ratio The improvement is limited.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
A display device of the present invention is a display device including a liquid crystal panel in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix form and a rear light source opposed to the liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal sheet, a polarizing film, And a quantum dot luminescent panel disposed on a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the quantum dot luminescent panel includes a plurality of quantum dot light emitting sources, and the plurality of quantum dot light emitting sources are each provided with independent electrical signals to control optical characteristics .
Important characteristics in display devices are high image quality and low power consumption. The image quality is evaluated by synthesizing various characteristics such as brightness, contrast ratio, resolution, and color reproducibility. Although the liquid crystal panel has advantages over other display devices in terms of resolution and brightness, it is essentially a non-emissive type display device, so the luminous efficiency is low and the implementation of high contrast ratio is limited due to the light leakage phenomenon in the liquid crystal. And a color reproducibility is also low when a light emitting diode is used. The present invention proposes a display device which can improve the luminous efficiency and the color reproducibility while realizing a high contrast ratio by using a quantum dot luminescent panel.
1 shows a liquid crystal panel and a quantum dot luminescent panel constituting a display device of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the display device of the present invention includes a liquid crystal panel 100 and a quantum dot
Although not shown in the drawings, a driving terminal, a driving circuit, a controller, and the like capable of driving the liquid crystal panel can be installed in the display device. Also, since the quantum dot luminescent panel can independently control individual quantum dot light emitting sources, , A drive circuit, a controller, and the like.
In the display device of the present invention, a plurality of pixels of a liquid crystal panel are matched for each light emitting source of each quantum dot luminescent panel, and the matched light emitting sources and pixels are interlocked with each other to control optical characteristics. The luminance finally displayed by the pixels of the display element (red, green, and blue) is primarily controlled by the arrangement state of the corresponding liquid crystal, and the luminances . In a conventional liquid crystal display device in which the light luminance of the backlight unit is not adjusted when the luminance to be implemented in a specific pixel of the display device is determined at a specific timing, if the light transmittance of the liquid crystal panel for this is set to A% As such, the luminance of a particular pixel can be implemented as determined. However, in the display device of the present invention, when the light source luminance of the quantum dot luminescent panel is adjusted to a% (assuming that the maximum luminance is 100%), the light transmittance of the liquid crystal panel should be adjusted to A × (100 / a)%. As described above, in the display device of the present invention, the light source luminance of the quantum dot luminescent panel and the light transmittance of the liquid crystal panel are controlled to be linked with each other, which is advantageous in two respects.
The first is the improvement of the contrast ratio. The darkroom contrast ratio of the display device is a value obtained by dividing the maximum luminance realized by the pixels of the display device by the minimum luminance. At this time, since the minimum brightness is determined by the light leakage phenomenon of the liquid crystal panel, the improvement of the contrast ratio is limited. Since the minimum light transmittance due to the light leakage of the liquid crystal panel is a fixed value, the lower the brightness of the backlight light, the lower the minimum brightness of the pixels of the display device. In the display device of the present invention, the minimum luminance of the pixel for calculating the contrast ratio is derived in a state in which the light source luminance of the quantum dot luminescent panel is minimized and the light transmittance of the liquid crystal panel is minimized. As a result, have.
The second is the improvement of the luminous efficiency. In the non-light emitting type liquid crystal display device, the luminous efficiency is limited by the inability of the backlight to transmit the liquid crystal panel. The display device of the present invention adopts a method of adjusting the light of the backlight and increasing the light transmittance of the liquid crystal panel in accordance therewith, so that the luminous efficiency can be improved as a result.
2 (a) shows a quantum dot luminescent panel applied to the display device of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of quantum dot
Although not shown in the figure, the quantum dot luminescent panel is provided with a drive circuit and a drive controller for independently driving individual quantum dot light emission sources. The quantum dot luminescent panel may be driven in an active mode or a passive mode, and the driving of the quantum dot luminescent panel is interlocked with the driving of the liquid crystal panel. The interlocked driving method realizes optical characteristics close to numerical values such as brightness and color coordinates determined according to optical characteristics to be implemented in a plurality of unit pixels of a liquid crystal panel matched to a specific quantum dot light emitting source in a quantum dot light emitting source. At this time, the luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source may be adjusted according to the average value of the luminance to be realized in the matched unit pixels of the liquid crystal panel or may be adjusted according to the maximum value of the luminance to be realized in the matched unit pixels of the liquid crystal panel . For example, assuming that the average luminance to be implemented in the matched liquid crystal panel unit pixels is X% of the maximum luminance, the luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source is X to 100% of the maximum luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source Lt; / RTI > In the latter case, assuming that the luminance to be implemented in the unit pixels having the maximum luminance among the matched liquid crystal panel unit pixels is Y%, the luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source is in the range of Y to 100% of the maximum luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source Lt; / RTI > It is preferable that the luminance of the quantum dot light emitting source is adjusted in the range of (Y + 10) to (Y + 50)% (the upper limit value does not exceed 100%). (Y + 10)%, there is a possibility that the luminance difference between the adjacent quantum dot light-emitting sources is too large to cause image quality distortion. If (Y + 50)% is exceeded, the improvement of the contrast ratio and the improvement of the luminous efficiency may be excessively limited . In order to maintain the color reproducibility, the maximum luminance of the unit pixels of the liquid crystal panel should be calculated as a percentage based on the red, green, and blue pixels.

FIG. 4 illustrates a quantum dot luminescent panel to which mixed quantum dot materials are applied to realize white light. 4, a plurality of quantum dot
The display device of the present invention is characterized in that the optical characteristics of the plurality of quantum dot light emitting sources are independently controlled and the optical characteristics of the quantum dot light emitting sources are controlled by interlocking with the optical characteristics to be realized in the unit pixels of the matched liquid crystal panel . The optical characteristics considered here are luminance, color coordinates, and the like. In the foregoing, the description has been made in terms of luminance, which will be described below in terms of color coordinates. In order to control the optical characteristics of the quantum dot light emitting source from the viewpoint of color coordinates, it is necessary to control the color of the quantum dot light emitting source itself. For this purpose, the quantum dot light emitting sources are unit light emitting sources of red, green, and blue, and each unit light emitting source may receive independent electrical signals to control the brightness. At this time, since a plurality of liquid crystal panel unit pixels are matched to one quantum dot light emitting source, the quantum dot light emitting source must emit white light in the entire area. Therefore, in this case, a light diffusion film having a light diffusion function should be formed between the quantum dot light emitting source and the liquid crystal panel. In addition, light should not be diffused between adjacent light diffusion films, so a light diffusion prevention pattern must be formed between the light diffusion films. Driving in the case where the quantum dot light emitting sources are unit light emitting sources of different colors is as follows. In the embodiment of the present invention as described above, the optical characteristic interlocking control between the quantum dot light emitting source and the liquid crystal panel unit pixel described above must be interlocked independently for each of red, green and blue. That is, the optical characteristics between the red light-emitting unit of the quantum dot unit and the red light unit of the liquid-crystal panel unit should be controlled in an interlocking manner, and the same applies to the green and blue light. Since the optical characteristics are controlled for each of red, green, and blue in the structure and the driving method, a higher contrast ratio improvement effect and a light efficiency improvement effect can be realized as compared with the quantum dot light source of white light described in FIG.
