Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light guide panel of a backlight unit of a liquid crystal display (LCD) and more particularly to an asymmetric front and can be controlled The cross-sectional shape of the front side of the light guide panel adjusts the light guide panel of the LCD backlight unit at a specific position and brightness. _ [Prior Art] Generally, a liquid crystal display (LCD) refers to an intermediate phase material which is applied between a liquid and a solid by applying an electric field to a liquid crystal, and is arranged between two glass substrates as electrodes. A device that displays numbers or images. Since the LCD device is not a self-illuminating device, it must have a backlight unit as a light source for emitting light. Then, an image or the like is displayed on the liquid crystal panel, which has liquid crystals arranged in a pre-turn pattern and adjusts the transmittance of light emitted from the backlight unit. _ Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional LCD backlight unit. The backlight unit of the liquid crystal display can be classified into a direct type backlight unit according to the position of the light source that emits light, wherein the light source is directly placed on the rear side of the LCD panel 100, and the edge type backlight unit, wherein the light source is placed On the side of the LCD panel 100. Figure i shows an edge type backlight unit 1〇. Referring to the conventional LCD backlight unit, a light source 1〇5, a light guide panel no, a reflector 115, a diffusion sheet 120, a cymbal 125, and a protection sheet 130 are included. The light source 105 is used to start emitting light in the liquid crystal display. Although a light source of the type 5142-9280-PF; Ahddub 5 200841061 can be used, the LCD typically employs a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) which experiences very low power consumption and emits very high brightness white light. The light guide panel 110 is disposed on one side of the light source 105 under the LCD panel 100 and serves to project light to the front of the light guide panel after converting the collected light of the light source 1〇5 into planar light. The reflecting plate 115 is disposed on the rear side of the light guiding panel 并 and is configured to reflect the light emitted from the light source 1〇5 to the LCD panel 10 that is placed in front of the reflecting plate. The diffusion sheet 120 is disposed on the light guiding panel. The upper side of the 11 并 is used to provide uniform light through the light guide panel 110. The ruthenium sheet 125 serves to refract and collect light, which tends to improve brightness by rapidly reducing the brightness in the two directions (i.e., horizontal and vertical directions) when passing through the diffusion sheet 120. The protective sheet 130 is disposed on the cymbal sheet and is used to protect the cymbal sheet 125 from being damaged and to prevent the M〇fre phenomenon when the prism sheet 125 stacked in two layers in the horizontal and vertical directions is used. occur. The backlight unit 10 is not shown in FIG. The backlight unit 1 is protected and supported while maintaining the intensity of the backlight unit 10. 2 and 3 are enlarged cross-sectional views of the light guide panel 11'', showing the progress of light emitted from the light source 105 and passing through the light guide panel 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the light source j 5 is usually disposed near an edge of the backlight unit 1 〇 5142-9280-PF; Ahddub 6 200841061 (for the LCD TV, just behind the LCD panel). Therefore, the light emitted from the light source 105 is not uniformly transmitted through the entire surface of the backlight unit' and the edge of the backlight unit tends to be brighter than the other portions. The light guide panel u〇 is used to prevent this problem. The light guide panel 丨丨〇 is usually made of a transparent acrylic resin, which ensures high strength of the light guide panel. Therefore, the light guide panel 110 is less likely to be broken or deformed and has a light weight and a high transmittance. The light guide panel 110 is for guiding the light emitted from the light source 1 〇 5 to uniformly advance in front of the light guide panel. However, actually, when light is emitted from a light source in which the light guide panel of the backlight unit 10 is removed, it is observed that the light guide panel does not exhibit uniform brightness, and the light is concentrated on the light guide panel. Because the light guide panel 110 directs light from the light source 105 in the opposite direction. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, special processing is performed on the rear side of the light guiding panel 11 以 to cause scattering reflection therefrom, so that the entire light guiding panel uniformly transmits light. Specifically, protrusions and depressions 113 each having a predetermined shape in consideration of the distance from the light source 1 Q 5 being set to φ are formed on the rear side. By such a patterning process of forming the projections and depressions 113, planar light having higher brightness and uniformity can be obtained on the LCD panel. The LCD panel can be classified into a twisted nematic (TN) type and an in-plane switching (IPS) type depending on the arrangement of the liquid crystals. The TN type LCD provides a lower viewing angle than the ipS type LCD. However, because of its excellent transmittance, the TN type LCD is suitable for LCDs that require frontal visibility. On the other hand, although the ips type LCD provides a superior viewing angle than the TN type LCD, which has a lower transmittance, the basin deteriorates the overall brightness. 5142-9280-PF; Ahddub 200841061 Depending on the operating environment, the type of LCD panel associated with the liquid crystal alignment, and other external factors, it is often necessary to improve the brightness of the LCD at a particular angle or at a particular location. Traditionally, 'reflective polarizing brightness enhancement film (DBEF) and non-multilayer film reflection polarizing brightness enhancement film (bribet) have been used to improve brightness or viewing angle. However, these films result in an increase in the total thickness of the backlight unit and an increase in manufacturing cost, thereby reducing the competitiveness of LCD products including such defects. The degree of uniformity in the TC 〇 - 3 - the project control of the viewing angle dependence should be managed to fall within a certain range with respect to the degree of brightness of the horizontal and vertical fields of view of the visual display unit. Ffi 4 shows that the characteristics of the general visual display unit are evaluated in the financial standard 3, and the pictures 5 and 6 show the brightness dependence (10), (10) standard, where 'about the level and The degree of brightness uniformity of the vertical field of view is defined as L „ and L ′′, respectively, and is controlled to have 17 or less.

The asymmetrical front sill 310 is longitudinally oriented at a certain interval by an occlusion parallel to the incident direction of light emitted from the light source at a certain interval, that is, in the Q direction in Fig. 7. Unlike conventional front sills, each asymmetric front sill 310 has a sloping side edge that is treated to have a diffused diffusing surface 3〇7, and another slanted side edge that is treated to have a smooth mirroring Table® 308 (although noun, mirrored surface) generally means a mirrored or smooth plane, an asymmetrical front, and a mirrored surface "here refers to the latter". The mirror surface 308 preferably has a value of 〇·m or less, which corresponds to the surface roughness of the grinding treatment under %, and the diffusion surface 307 preferably has 6·m or more. A large value, which corresponds to the surface roughness of the general treatment under KS. Φ In this embodiment, referring to the rule of surface roughness under KS, the mirror surface 308 and the diffusion surface 307 are suggested to have Ra values of 6.·2 from 6. 3 /z m , respectively. In this case, in the experimental test of the present invention, when the mirror surface 308 and the diffusion surface 307 each have an Ra value of about 〇·2/ζιη, the Th of the TCO' 03 standard is about 1.9. Furthermore, when the diffusion surfaces 3〇7 each have an Ra value of about 5/zm, the TCO, 03 standard Lh is about 1.7, and when the diffusion surface 307 has a value of about 1 〇 from m, the TCO, 03 standard The Lh is about 1/4. That is, in the case where the diffusion surface 307 is an Ra value of about 5 #m or less, the brightness uniformity of the TCO' 03 standard is considered - the viewing angle 5142-9280-PF; Ahddub 11 200841061 depends on the I*, although The glossy surface does not exhibit significant & good effects, and the light guide panel also meets the TC0 〇3 standard.
