20100295762 | DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING AN OPTICAL PLATE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A display apparatus including a display panel, a plurality of light sources provided below the display panel to emit light, and an optical plate provided between the display panel and the light sources to diffuse light are disclosed according to one or more embodiments. The optical plate comprises a base including a plurality of regions having different thicknesses, and a convex pattern formed on the base. | 11-25-2010 |
20120327685 | LIGHT GUIDE PLATE FOR BACKLIGHT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A light guide plate for a backlight. The light guide plate includes: a light source unit for generating light; a light guide plate proximate to the light source unit and including an upper surface and a lower surface; and a light emission pattern configured to diffuse a portion of the light directed toward an image display panel, and a first straight pattern configured to channel the light along a direction substantially parallel to a direction of propagation of the light generated by the light source unit, both the light emission pattern and the first straight pattern being disposed on one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the light guide plate, in which the first straight pattern has peaks and valleys formed in alternating and repeating manner in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of propagation of the light generated by the light source unit. | 12-27-2012 |
20130010497 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes: a first chassis including a bottom surface, and a side wall which extends from an edge of the bottom surface; a light guide plate in the first chassis; a first fixing member which overlaps the side wall of the first chassis and contacts an upper surface of the light guide plate; and a first fastening member which fastens the first fixing member to the side wall of the first chassis. The first chassis includes a groove which extends through the side wall of the first chassis, the light guide plate includes a first protrusion which protrudes from an edge of the light guide plate and extends into the groove, and the first fixing member contacts an upper surface of the first protrusion of the light guide plate. | 01-10-2013 |
20130148333 | LENS, BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A lens includes an upper flat surface having a first outer diameter, a bottom surface having a second outer diameter and a third inner diameter, an external curved surface which connects the upper flat surface and the bottom surface, and an inner curved surface which protrudes toward the upper flat surface from the bottom surface at the third inner diameter. | 06-13-2013 |
20130215600 | LIGHT SOURCE PACKAGE AND BACKLIGHT UNIT INCLUDING THE LIGHT SOURCE PACKAGE - A light source package includes a first light source configured to emit first light, an imaginary central axis of the first light extending in a first direction. The light source package may further include a second light source configured to emit second light, an imaginary central axis of the second light extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The light source package may further include a first optical part including a first surface that is configured to reflect at least a first portion of the first light. The light source package may further include a second optical part configured to spread the second light. The light source package may advantageously enable illuminating a desirably large display area with a minimum number of light sources and/or optical parts. | 08-22-2013 |
20140204612 | LIGHT GUIDE PLATE FOR BACKLIGHT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A light guide plate for a backlight. The light guide plate includes: a light source unit for generating light; a light guide plate proximate to the light source unit and including an upper surface and a lower surface; and a light emission pattern configured to diffuse a portion of the light directed toward an image display panel, and a first straight pattern configured to channel the light along a direction substantially parallel to a direction of propagation of the light generated by the light source unit, both the light emission pattern and the first straight pattern being disposed on one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the light guide plate, in which the first straight pattern has peaks and valleys formed in alternating and repeating manner in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of propagation of the light generated by the light source unit. | 07-24-2014 |
20140241010 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes: a first chassis including a bottom surface, and a side wall which extends from an edge of the bottom surface; a light guide plate in the first chassis; a first fixing member which overlaps the side wall of the first chassis and contacts an upper surface of the light guide plate; and a first fastening member which fastens the first fixing member to the side wall of the first chassis. The first chassis includes a groove which extends through the side wall of the first chassis, the light guide plate includes a first protrusion which protrudes from an edge of the light guide plate and extends into the groove, and the first fixing member contacts an upper surface of the first protrusion of the light guide plate. | 08-28-2014 |
20150029692 | OPTICAL LENS MODULE AND BACKLIGHT UNIT - A backlight unit which provides light to a liquid crystal display panel of a liquid crystal display. The backlight unit includes an optical lens module including an optical lens disposed above a point light source and configured to refract light output from the point light source, and a reflective polarization layer disposed directly on the optical lens and configured to separate polarization components of the light to transmit one polarization component and reflect another polarization component. | 01-29-2015 |
20150062871 | OPTICAL PLATE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVING THE SAME - An optical plate and a method of manufacturing the same are provided where the optical plate can be patterned to counter-compensate for luminance hot spots of corresponding light sources. More specifically, there is provided an optical plate comprising a substrate, and a patterned optical processing layer which is disposed on the substrate, wherein the patterned optical processing layer comprises flat area portions located close to the substrate, a plurality of protruding patterns which are located on or between the flat area portions and have concave portions formed at respective ends thereof, and a plurality of light diffusing patterns which are located on the concave portions, respectively. | 03-05-2015 |
