| 20090109702 | BACKLIGHT UNIT AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A backlight unit includes a light guide panel to guide entering light, a light source disposed on at least one side of the light guide panel to emit light, and a reflecting sheet disposed on a surface of the light guide panel to reflect the entering light toward a light emitting plane of the light guide panel, and includes a plurality of reflecting areas which have different reflectance, where a reflecting area of the plurality of reflecting areas which encounters a relatively large amount of the entering light has a higher reflectance than that of a reflecting area of the plurality of reflecting areas which encounters a relatively small amount of the entering light. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090147170 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - A liquid crystal display device includes a housing, a liquid crystal panel provided in the housing and comprises first and second transparent substrates spaced from each other at predetermined intervals, a sealing member to seal an internal space formed between the first and second transparent substrates, a liquid crystal to fill the internal space, first and second transparent electrodes formed in the first and second transparent substrates, respectively, and a polarizing plate to transmit light in a predetermined polarizing direction, a backlight unit disposed in the housing to emit surface light to the liquid crystal panel, and a polarizing filter disposed in the housing, and spaced from the liquid crystal panel at predetermined intervals to transmit predetermined polarized light and to block other polarized light of incident light. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100296021 | BACKLIGHT UNIT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A backlight unit, light guide panel, and liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus having the same are provided. The backlight unit includes a light guide panel which comprises a plurality of patterns to scatter light forward on a bottom surface, and one or more fixing grooves on an edge area; a light source unit which is disposed on a side surface of the light guide panel, and emits light towards the light guide panel; and a supporting member which supports the light guide panel, and comprises one ore more fixing protrusions being inserted into the fixing groove, wherein the amount of patterns formed on a darkness occurring area adjacent to the fixing groove is increased compared to that on an adjacent area, and the amount of patterns formed on a bright line occurring area adjacent to the fixing groove is decreased compared to that on an adjacent area. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100296310 | BACKLIGHT UNIT OF DISPLAY APPARATUS - A backlight unit of a display apparatus is provided. The backlight unit includes a display housing, a light source which is arranged along an inner circumference the display housing, a light guide plate through which light of the light source is transmitted, and which forms surface light, an optical sheet which is disposed on an upper side of the light guide plate to upwardly diffuse the light of the light source transmitted through the light guide plate, a plurality of first fixing units, each of which fix both the light guide plate and the optical sheet, a plurality of second fixing units which support only the light guide plate, and a support frame which is connected to the display housing to fix the optical sheet to the display housing provisionally, and has a window formed on a surface corresponding to the light guide plate to allow light to pass therethrough. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110013098 | DISPLAY APPARATUS AND TELEVISION - A display apparatus and a television are provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel which is divided into display areas; a plurality of light guide plates which output light to the display areas of the display panel; and a plurality of light sources, each of which generates light to be inputted into a lateral side of a respective one of the light guide plates, and is arranged corresponding to the lateral side of the respective light guide plate. The plurality of light sources may be arranged such that among the light sources arranged corresponding to the lateral side of one of the light guide plates, a first illumination direction of some of the light sources is different from a second illumination direction of others of the light sources. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110109843 | LIGHT GUIDE PANEL, BACKLIGHT UNIT AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A light guide panel, a backlight unit and a display apparatus are provided. A display apparatus includes a light guide panel including a first surface having a first pattern that increases luminance of backlight emitted from a light emitting unit, and a second surface having a second pattern that increases uniformity of luminance of the backlight emitted from the light emitting unit. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110141005 | BACKLIGHT UNIT AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A display apparatus includes a display panel which is divided into a plurality of display areas; a plurality of light guide plates which transmit light to the display areas of the display panel; a plurality of light source modules alternately arranged with and interposed between the light guide plates, each light source module being disposed along a lateral side of an adjacent light guide plate and including a plurality of light sources for emitting light to the lateral side of the adjacent light guide plate, and a module substrate on which the light sources are mounted; and a plurality of reflective plates which reflect the light emitted by the light sources and transmitted by the light guide plates, wherein each of the reflective plates is interposed between a rear surface of a corresponding light guide plate and at least one module substrate. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110187962 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - A liquid crystal display device includes a housing, a liquid crystal panel provided in the housing and comprises first and second transparent substrates spaced from each other at predetermined intervals, a sealing member to seal an internal space formed between the first and second transparent substrates, a liquid crystal to fill the internal space, first and second transparent electrodes formed in the first and second transparent substrates, respectively, and a polarizing plate to transmit light in a predetermined polarizing direction, a backlight unit disposed in the housing to emit surface light to the liquid crystal panel, and a polarizing filter disposed in the housing, and spaced from the liquid crystal panel at predetermined intervals to transmit predetermined polarized light and to block other polarized light of incident light. | 08-04-2011 |
