Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a backlight unit for a display device, and more particularly, to a backlight unit for a display device capable of reducing light leakage and wrinkling of a light source.
The present invention also relates to an optical sheet usable in the above-described backlight unit for a display device.
Examples of the display device include a plasma display panel device, a liquid crystal display device, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device.
Among them, the liquid crystal display device is a device for expressing a predetermined image by controlling transmission and blocking of light using a liquid crystal having optical anisotropy.
The liquid crystal of the liquid crystal display device can not emit light by itself and can not implement color by itself. Accordingly, a color filter for controlling the transmission and blocking of light is disposed on the front surface of the liquid crystal panel including the liquid crystal, and a backlight unit for supplying light to the liquid crystal panel is disposed on the rear surface of the liquid crystal panel.
The backlight unit includes a light source such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp, an LED lamp, and the like. Further, the backlight unit includes various optical sheets such as a diffusion sheet, a light condensing sheet, a protective sheet and the like in order to process the light emitted from the light source. These optical sheets are located on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel and are located in the traveling direction of light generated from the light source.
Depending on the position of the light source of the backlight unit, it is divided into a direct lower type and an edge type. In the case of the edge type, a light guide plate is required in which the light source is located at one side edge of the backlight and guides the light forward.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a backlight unit for a display device which can reduce the occurrence of wrinkles on an optical sheet compared to the related art.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an optical sheet suitable for the backlight unit for a display device.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a backlight unit for a display device includes a light source, a light guide plate, a reflection plate, at least one optical sheet, a bottom cover, and an intermediate support member.
The light guide plate is disposed on the side surface of the light source. The reflector is disposed on the back surface of the light guide plate. The at least one optical sheet is disposed on the front surface of the light guide plate and spaced apart from the light guide plate. The bottom cover supports the light source and the reflector. The intermediate support member supports the optical sheet, and is fastened to the bottom cover.
At least one of the optical sheets is provided with a light blocking layer at an edge portion adjacent to the light source, and attraction is exerted between the light blocking layer and the intermediate supporting member.
As described above, an attraction force acts between the light blocking layer disposed on the edge portion of the optical sheet adjacent to the light source and the intermediate support member positioned on the opposite side of the optical sheet reference light source, A gap is provided between the sheet and the light source.
This gap can prevent the optical sheet from being sandwiched between the light source and the light guide plate, and therefore, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of the wrinkles of the optical sheet caused by the optical sheet being sandwiched between the light source and the light guide plate.
At this time, the light blocking layer may include magnet particles, and the intermediate support member may be made of a magnetic material.
When the light blocking layer contains magnetic particles, it is preferable that the intermediate supporting member such as a guide panel or a light guide is made of a magnetic material such as steel, for example, which is capable of exerting attractive force with such magnet particles.
Further, magnetic particles may be included in the light blocking layer, and a magnetic pad may be disposed in the intermediate support member.
For example, when the intermediate support member such as a guide panel or a light guide is made of a non-magnetic material such as aluminum or plastic, attraction force with the intermediate support member can not be exerted merely by including magnet particles in the light blocking layer.
However, when the magnetic pad is disposed in the intermediate support member, attraction force can act between the light blocking layer containing the magnet particles and the magnetic pad of the intermediate support member.
Further, magnetic particles may be included in the light blocking layer, and a magnet pad may be disposed on the intermediate support member.
The light blocking layer may contain magnetic particles such as Fe powder. In this case, when the magnetic pad is disposed on the intermediate support member, attraction force can act between the light blocking layer containing the magnetic particles and the magnet pad of the intermediate support member.
On the other hand, the optical sheet on which the light blocking layer is disposed may be longer than other optical sheets.
In the case of the light blocking layer, the light leaked directly from the light source is blocked without passing through the light guide plate. The length of the optical sheet on which the light blocking layer is disposed is made relatively longer than other optical sheets, The light can be effectively blocked.
Further, the optical sheet on which the light blocking layer is disposed may be an optical sheet closest to the light guide plate.
The optical sheet closest to the light guide plate is mainly sandwiched between the light source and the light guide plate. Therefore, attraction force acts between the light blocking layer of the optical sheet closest to the light guide plate and the intermediate support member, so that the sticking of the optical sheet closest to the light guide plate between the light source and the light guide plate can be reduced.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a backlight unit for a display device includes a light source, an optical sheet, a bottom cover, and an intermediate support member.
One or more optical sheets are disposed on the front surface of the light source and spaced apart from the light source. The bottom cover supports the light source. The intermediate support member supports the optical sheet and is fastened to the bottom cover.
At least one of the optical sheets is provided with a light blocking layer at an edge portion, and attraction force acts between the light blocking layer and the intermediate supporting member.
In the case of this embodiment, it is a so-called direct-type backlight structure in which optical sheets are disposed on the entire surface of the light source. Also in this embodiment, the light blocking layer is disposed at the edge of the optical sheet to prevent the light leakage in the vicinity of the intermediate support member, and the optical blocking layer is disposed by the attraction force between the light blocking layer and the intermediate supporting member, A gap between the sheet and the light source can be given.
An optical sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems includes a base film and a light blocking layer. The base film may be various optical films. The light blocking layer is disposed at an edge portion of the base film.
At this time, the light blocking layer includes magnet particles or magnetic particles.
When such an optical sheet is applied to a backlight unit for a display device, a force may be applied between the optical sheet and the intermediate support member depending on the material of the intermediate support member or the pad attached thereto.
The backlight unit for a display device according to the present invention includes a light blocking layer disposed on an edge portion adjacent to a light source and includes an optical sheet on which a force acts between the light blocking layer and an intermediate supporting member such as a guide panel or a light guide .
As a force acts between the light blocking layer of the optical sheet and the intermediate support member, a gap can be given between the optical sheet and the light source. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles in the optical sheet, which is a problem in the related art.
