| 20080297697 | Light guide plate, backlight assembly including the same, and liquid crystal display device including the same - Disclosed herein are a light guide plate, a backlight assembly including the light guide plate, and a liquid crystal display device including the backlight assembly which can uniformly maintain the brightness uniformity and prevent the moiré phenomenon. The light guide plate in accordance with the present disclosure includes: an incident surface, to which light generated from a light source is incident, including a diffusion pattern formed in a round shape; an emitting surface, through which the light is emitted, including a first prism pattern; and an opposite surface, formed opposite to the emitting surface, including a direction change pattern by which the direction of the light is changed toward the emitting surface. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090122229 | Light guiding and dispersing plate and display device having the same - A monolithic light guiding and dispersing plate is provided in a backlighted display panel for receiving input light from one or more edge sources and for guiding the received light throughout the plate for substantially uniform reflection upwardly and substantially uniform dispersal toward an image forming plane located above the light guiding and dispersing plate. In one embodiment, the light guiding and dispersing plate has a light receiving surface upon which the light generated by an edge light source is incident, a top major surface which is adjacent to the light receiving surface and on which a plurality of first protrusions are formed and elongated in a first direction, wherein the first protrusions have cross-sections in the shapes of partial ellipses. The plate further has a bottom major surface in which light reflecting recesses are defined to reflect light upwardly towards the top major surface. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090175051 | LIGHT GUIDE PLATE, DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF - A light guide plate and a display device having the same are provided, which can uniformly emit light on the whole. The light guide plate includes a light input part including first and second areas to which light is incident, and a light output part neighboring the light input part and outputting light. The light having passed through the first area is emitted with its light quantity distribution biased in a first direction, and the light having passed through the second area is emitted with its light quantity distribution biased in a second direction different than the first direction. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090180297 | BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY - A backlight assembly which can reduce manufacturing costs and enhance display quality of a liquid crystal display (“LCD”). The backlight assembly includes: a light source emitting light; and a light guide plate (“LGP”) including an incident surface on which light emitted from the light source is incident, a top surface which adjoins the incident surface, and a bottom surface which adjoins the incident surface, faces the top surface, and includes a plurality of lower prisms separated from one another and flat portions interposed between the lower prisms, wherein each of the lower prisms includes a first surface and a second surface which are adjacent to each other, the first surface including a plurality of oblique planes having different positive slopes, the second surface having a negative slope, and where the slope forms an angle with a line normal to the incident surface. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090316433 | LIGHT GUIDE PLATE AND BACKLIGHT UNIT HAVING THE SAME - In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a light guide plate includes a first light incident surface receiving a first external light, a second light incident surface receiving a second external light and opposite to the first light incident surface, a light exit surface connecting the first and second light incident surfaces to output the first and second external lights, a reflective surface reflecting the first and second external lights in opposition to the light exit surface, and optical path changing portions each of which having a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The optical path changing portions are provided on the reflective surface with a predetermined interval and recessed toward the light exit surface to reflect the first and second external lights to the light exit surface. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100118509 | LIGHT SOURCE PACKAGE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING LIGHT SOURCE PACKAGE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Provided are, a light source package having a large emission area and a low manufacturing cost, a liquid crystal display device including the light source package, and a method of manufacturing the same. The light source package includes: a package case including a bottom plate having a bottom plate flat portion, and a light source mounting plate that is formed by bending at least one end of the bottom plate and has a first inclination angle with respect to the bottom plate flat portion; a light source mounted on the light source mounting plate; and a package reflecting portion formed in the package case so as to have a second inclination angle with respect to the bottom plate flat portion and reflecting light emitted from the light source. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100142220 | DISPLAY APPARATUS - A display apparatus includes a display panel which displays images, a light source unit which generates and emits a light, a reflective sheet disposed below the display panel, and a plate disposed between the reflective sheet and the display panel. The reflective sheet includes a light diffusion pattern provided on an upper surface thereof facing the display panel, which diffusely reflects the light, to guide the light provided from the light source unit toward the display panel. The plate is spaced apart from the reflective sheet by a predetermined distance and includes a plurality of prisms provided on a lower surface thereof facing the reflective sheet to selectively reflect and transmit the light, which is provided from both the light source unit and the reflective sheet, according to an incident angle of the light. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110249217 | BACKLIGHT UNIT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY MODULE HAVING THE SAME - A backlight unit includes a mold frame, a metal core printed circuit board (“MCPCB”) on which at least one light emitting diode (“LED”) is mounted, a reflector, a light guide plate, and an optical sheet. The mold frame includes an MCPCB fixing portion, the MCPCB is directly and removably disposed on the MCPCB fixing portion, and a lower surface of the MCPCB is exposed to the outside of the mold frame. On the MCPCB, a reflector, a light guide plate, and an optical sheet are placed in the order named. The light guide plate has a light entering surface facing the LED. | 10-13-2011 |
