Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reflection sheet for protecting a light guide panel and a backlight unit employing the same.
  • an edgelight-type backlight unit 100 includes a rod-shaped cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) 101 which is used as a light source and extends along a side of a rectangular- shaped light guide panel 104, an optical sheet 106 including a plurality of layers stacked on a front surface of the light guide panel 104, and a reflection sheet 102 disposed on a rear surface of the light guide panel 104.
  • CCFL cold cathode fluorescent lamp
  • Each layer of the optical sheet 106 has a specific optical property such as refraction, diffusivity, and so forth.
  • the optical sheet 106 includes a light diffusion sheet 108 disposed on a front surface of the light guide panel 104, a prism sheet 110 disposed on a front surface of the light diffusion sheet 108, and so forth.
  • the backlight unit 100 provides the following functions. First, light beams incident into the light guide panel 104 from the fluorescent lamp 101 are first reflected on reflection dots (not shown in the Figure) of the rear surface of the light guide panel 104 and on each of the side faces, and exit from the front surface of the light guide panel 104 . That is, the light guide panel 104 serves as a surface light source. The light beams exited from the light guide panel 104 enter into the light diffusion sheet 108 , then diffuse and exit from the front surface of the light diffusion sheet 108 .
  • the light beams exited from the light diffusion sheet 108 enter into a prism sheet 110 , and exit as light beams having a distribution representing a peak in a direction along a sub ⁇ stantially normal line through a prism part 110-1 formed on the front surface of the prism sheet 110 . Accordingly, the light beams exited from the fluorescent lamp 101 is diffused by the light diffusion sheet 108 , while being refracted by the prism sheet 110 so that it represents a peak in a direction along the substantially normal line, and illuminate the entire face of the upper liquid crystal layer although not shown in the Figure.
  • the reflection sheet 102 is disposed on the rear surface of the light guide panel 104.
  • the reflection sheet 102 is usually composed of a white opaque polyester film or a laminated film where a surface or both surfaces of a white opaque polyester film are coated with a hard coating layer containing a large quantity of an organic or inorganic filler for the purpose of increasing reflectivity.
  • Such a reflection sheet 102 is responsible for efficiently reflecting light beams directed toward the underlying structure to the front surface of the light guide panel 104 and to the overlying light diffusion sheet 108, to thereby increase brightness of an LCD and for preventing the underlying structure disposed below the backlight unit 100 from being viewed from the front side of an LCD.
  • the reflection sheet 102 must have a uniform surface with respect to the entire surface of the light guide panel 104 so that light beams are uniformly reflected in all directions. Disclosure of Invention
  • an acrylic resin-based light guide panel commonly used as the light guide panel 104 has a relatively high surface hardness, and thus hardly experiences a surface damage by an interfacial friction generated upon a contact between a light guide panel and a reflection sheet during backlight unit assembling or by an external impact.
  • most commonly known light guide panels have a smooth and flat surface and the underlying printed layer of a light guide panel also has a smooth and flat surface, and thus the surface characteristics of a reflection sheet are not likely to be an issue.
  • the prism-patterned light guide panel is a light guide panel in which a three-dimensional triangular prism pattern is formed on a panel surface by injection molding or laser processing.
  • the prism pattern has a sharp upper end.
  • the prism pattern may be destroyed by a friction or an external impact. For this reason, a poor appearance or a reduction in brightness by optical loss may be caused.
  • Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2004-0039222 discloses an acrylic light guide panel for use in a backlight unit for a plastic LCD, which is formed by mixing or a chemical reaction of a plastic rubber or a material having a high degree of flexibility with an acrylics resin.
  • the acrylic light guide panel also undergoes the same problems as in the use of the prism-pattemed light guide panel due to its low surface hardness.
  • Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0025192 discloses a reflection sheet including a damage preventive layer containing a polyurethane bead or a silicon rubber bead on a base sheet.
  • the polyurethane bead has substantially insufficient flexibility and thus cannot sufficiently prevent damage to a light guide panel.
  • the silicon rubber bead is flexible but unreacted monomers or oligomers diffused out from a surface of the silicon rubber bead may cause a bright unevenness.
  • the present invention provides a reflection sheet capable of sufficiently protecting a surface of a light guide panel, simultaneously with preventing an optical degradation such as bright unevenness .
  • the present invention also provides a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display employing the reflection sheet and thus providing better and uniform brightness.
  • a reflection sheet for a backlight unit including: a base sheet; and a flexible coating layer, formed on at least a surface of the base sheet, containing at least one flexible elastomeric bead selected from the group consisting of an elastomeric acrylic bead, an elastomeric nylon bead, and a microcapsule resin bead having a core charged with an air or an organic material.
  • the reflection sheet may further include a metal reflection layer and a transparent resin layer that are sequentially stacked between the base sheet and the flexible coating layer.
  • a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display including:
  • a light guide panel located beside the light source for transmitting the light beams and having a side surface into which the light beams are incident from the light source, a lower surface, and an upper surface from which the light beams are exited;
  • an optical sheet disposed on the upper surface of the light guide panel, uniformly diffusing the light beams exited from the light guide panel and refracting the diffused light beams in a substantially perpendicular direction to an upper surface of the optical sheet;
  • a reflection sheet disposed on the lower surface of the light guide panel, reflecting the light beams from the light source toward the light guide panel,
  • the reflection sheet including :
  • a flexible coating layer formed on at least a surface of the base sheet, containing at least one flexible elastomeric bead selected from the group consisting of an elastomeric acrylic bead, an elastomeric nylon bead, and a microcapsule resin bead having a core charged with an air or an organic material.
  • a liquid crystal display including the reflection sheet according to the present invention.
  • a reflection sheet according to the present invention includes a flexible coating layer containing a particularly selected elastomeric flexible elastomeric bead and thus having excellent resistance to impact and friction. Therefore, the reflection sheet can sufficiently protect a surface of a light guide panel without causing an optical degradation such as reduction in brightness, bright unevenness, and so forth. Furthermore, the reflection sheet of the present invention may further include a metal reflection layer. According to this embodiment, better brightness characteristics are ensured.
  • the reflection sheet according to the present invention includes a flexible coating layer, and thus, exhibits excellent resistance to friction and impact.
  • a metal reflection layer is further included in the reflection sheet, the reflection sheet is excellent in specular reflectivity and brightness as well as in resistance to friction and impact. Therefore, the reflection sheet of the present invention can be usefully applied to a light guide panel of a backlight unit having a weak surface hardness or requiring a surface protection due to a surface prism pattern.
  • damage to a light guide panel can be effectively prevented, thereby preventing reduction in brightness and bright unevenness due to damage to a light guide panel.
