Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a backlight unit installed in a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device and, more particularly, to a Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlight unit without a Printed Circuit board (PCB), in which light source modules, that is, LED packages, are directly mounted on a chassis.
- LCD Liquid Crystal Display
- LED Light Emitting Diode
- PCB Printed Circuit board
- a backlight unit is a device that is installed in an LCD using the principle in which liquid crystals change their molecular arrangement according to applied voltage, and provides light and illuminates a screen from behind.
- backlight units to which one or more cold-cathode tubes are applied were mainly used, backlight units to which LEDs are applied currently attracts attention due to their advantages with respect to life span, brightness, color reproducibility, etc.
- LEDs Unlike cold-cathode tubes, LEDs require substrates when they are used as light sources. Since such LEDs emit large quantities of heat while radiating light, metal core substrates (metal core printed circuit boards), having an excellent heat dissipation characteristic, have been used.
- metal core substrates have an excellent heat dissipation characteristic, they are very expensive. Accordingly, the high cost of the metal core substrates is one of the principal factors that decrease the cost competitiveness of the backlight units formed of the metal core substrates. As a result, there is a trend toward the use of relatively inexpensive epoxy resin insulating substrates.
- An example of a conventional backlight unit in which LEDs are mounted on such an insulating substrate is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- a backlight unit 200 includes an insulating substrate 210 , a plurality of LED packages 230 , and a chassis 250 .
- Circuit patterns 211 and 212 are formed on the insulating substrate 210 by coating an epoxy resin FR4-core with a copper foil and etching the copper foil.

- the insulating substrate of the conventional backlight unit having the above-described construction exhibits very poor thermal conductivity, therefore it is difficult to effectively eliminate heat generated by the LED chips, with the result that the temperature of the LED chips still increases. Accordingly, the amount of light emitted by the LED chips decreases, variation in wavelength occurs, and the reliability of the LED chips decreases, thus resulting in a reduced lifespan.
- the heating pad is made of a high polymer material having appearance characteristics similar to those of a thin rubber plate. This not only increases the price of the backlight unit and but also requires close attention to be paid to an assembly process.

- the LED packages 150 include a plurality of sets of LED packages for emitting red light, green right, and blue light.
- the plurality of sets of LED packages are mounted on the chassis 110 in accordance with a design. Since the LED packages have the same elements but emits respective light beams having different colors, only a single LED package 150 is shown in FIG. 1 , for ease of description, and the description is made based on this.

- the insulating resin layer 130 is formed on the chassis 110 to have a thickness of about 10 ⁇ m, as shown in FIG. 3A .
- the insulating resin layer 130 is made of a high polymer material having appearance characteristics similar to a thin rubber plate, that is, a material similar or identical to a conventional heating pad.
- solid film-type insulating resin, having adhesiveness, or liquid insulating resin may be applied to the top surface of the insulating resin layer 130 .
- the solid film-type insulating resin is applied to the chassis 110 using a lamination method, and the liquid insulating resin is applied to the chassis 110 using a molding method employing spin coating or blade coating. Furthermore, when the liquid insulating resin layer 130 is formed, the process proceeds to the next step after the liquid insulating resin layer 130 is placed in semi-cured status due to the evaporation of the solvent thereof.
- engraved circuit patterns 131 and 132 are formed by engraving circuit patterns on the insulating resin layer 130 (which is placed in semi-cured status) using a stamp 120 , as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C .
- Embossed circuit patterns are formed on the lower surface of the stamp 120 .

- the backlight unit 100 of the present embodiment does not require any separate PCB or heating pad, thus greatly reducing the thickness thereof. That is, the conventional PCB, having a thickness of about 0.8 mm, and the conventional heating pad, having a thickness of about 0.2 mm can be replaced with the insulating resin 130 having a thickness of 10 ⁇ m, therefore a reduction to about 1/100 of an original thickness can be achieved.
- the backlight unit 100 is formed using the insulating resin 130 having a thickness of 10 ⁇ m, the thickness may be varied within the range of 1 ⁇ m ⁇ 200 ⁇ m in various ways according to the design of the circuit patterns.

- the thermal resistance thereof is 0.79° C./W
- the thermal resistance of the present embodiment can be greatly reduced, to about 1/87.8 of the original thickness for a comparable conventional thermal resistance of 69.4° C./W, which is achieved by using a PCB having a thickness of 0.8 mm and a heating pad having a thickness of 0.2 mm.
- the thermal resistance can be reduced to about 1/8.7 of the original thickness.
- the thermal resistance can be reduced to about 1/4.4 of the original thickness.
- circuit patterns are formed in the insulating resin layer formed on the chassis, so that no PCB and heating pad are required, therefore the total thickness can be greatly reduced and, at the same time, the total thermal resistance can be reduced.
- the thermal resistance is greatly reduced, so that heat generated by the LED chips can be smoothly removed, therefore an increase in the temperature of LED chips is prevented and, thus, a reduction in the amount of light and variation in wavelength of the LED chips is removed.
