Abstract
Description
The embodiment relates to a light guide plate.
An embodiment relates to an optical sheet.
An embodiment relates to a backlight unit.
As the information society develops, the demand for display devices for displaying images is increasing in various forms. A flat panel display device including a thin liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display (PDP) or an organic electroluminescent device (OLED) which is thinner and lighter than a conventional cathode ray tube display (CRT) has been actively researched and commercialized . Of these, liquid crystal display devices are widely used today because of their advantages of miniaturization, light weight, thinness, and low power driving.
In recent years, studies have been actively carried out to apply the present invention to a liquid crystal display device using the luminescence properties of a quantum dot (QD). The quantum dots are semiconductor materials having a crystal structure of a size of several nanometers, which is smaller than the Bohr exciton radius.
Although there are a large number of electrons in the quantum dot, the number of free electrons is limited to about 1 to 100. As a result, the energy level of the electrons in the quantum dot becomes discontinuous. As a result, the quantum dots have electrical and optical characteristics different from bulk semiconductors forming a continuous band.
For example, since the quantum dots vary in energy level according to their sizes, the bandgap can be adjusted by simply changing the size. That is, the quantum dot can control the emission wavelength by adjusting the size. This means that the emission color can be easily controlled by adjusting the size of the quantum dot.
Therefore, studies are underway to apply quantum dots to the light guide plate of the liquid crystal display device, to convert light from the light source into plane light, and to change the light emission wavelength to irradiate the liquid crystal panel. However, the light guide plate including the quantum dot has a problem of optical efficiency.
The embodiment provides a light guide plate, an optical sheet and a backlight unit for improving light efficiency.
A light guide plate according to an embodiment includes: a plurality of quantum dots; And a plurality of metal nanoparticles spaced apart from the quantum dots.
An optical sheet according to an embodiment includes: a plurality of quantum dots; And a plurality of metal nanoparticles spaced apart from the quantum dots.
A backlight unit according to an embodiment includes a light source; A light guide plate for converting light from the light source into plane light; And an optical sheet for diffusing the surface light from the light guide plate, wherein at least one of the light guide plate and the optical sheet includes a plurality of quantum dots and a plurality of metal nanoparticles.
The metal nanoparticles may cause a surface plasmon phenomenon.
The metal nanoparticles may have a diameter of 20 nm to 200 nm.
The average distance between the plurality of quantum dots and the metal nanoparticles may be 1 nm to 1000 nm.
The metal nanoparticles may be uniformly distributed in an area ratio of 1% to 5%.
The metal nanoparticles may be formed of silver.
The light guide plate and the optical sheet may have quantum dots that convert light to different wavelengths.
The metal nanoparticles may have a spherical shape, a hexagonal shape, or a tetrapod shape.
The optical sheet may include a diffusion sheet, and the plurality of quantum dots and the plurality of metal nanoparticles may be formed on the diffusion sheet.
The light guide plate according to the embodiment can improve the light efficiency by causing a surface plasmon phenomenon through a plurality of quantum dots and a plurality of metal nanoparticles.
The optical sheet according to the embodiment can improve the light efficiency by causing a surface plasmon phenomenon through a plurality of quantum dots and a plurality of metal nanoparticles.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventive concept.

The surface plasmon is a surface electromagnetic wave generated at an interface between a thin metal thin film and a dielectric, and is generated by charge density oscillation of electrons occurring at the surface of the metal thin film when light of a specific wavelength enters the metal thin film It is known. Electromagnetic waves generated by surface plasmon resonance are evanescent waves with very strong intensity but short effective distance. The wavelength of light for causing surface plasmon resonance may vary depending on the material of the metal thin film, for example. For example, silver (Ag) causes surface plasmon resonance in relatively short blue and green wavelength bands, and gold (Au) can cause surface plasmon resonance in a relatively long red wavelength band. In addition, the wavelength of light to cause surface plasmon resonance can be influenced by the refractive index of the dielectric and the size and shape of the metal thin film.

When the diameter (R 2) of the metal nanoparticles (83) is less than 20 nm, the light absorption of the particles per se is increased compared to the surface plasmon phenomenon caused by the particles, and the efficiency is lowered. When the diameter (R2) of the metal nanoparticles (83) is more than 200 nm, the amount of emission decreases due to scattering of the metal nanoparticles (83) rather than the amount of light emitted by the surface plasmon phenomenon.
