Abstract:
A backlight assembly is provided. The backlight assembly includes at least one lamp that generates a first light and a light diffusion member that is disposed over the lamp and diffuses the first light to generate a second light having a uniform brightness distribution. The light diffusion member includes a diffusion layer that diffuses the first light and a light path modulation member protruded from the diffusion layer to modulate a path of the first light. The light path modulation member is integrally formed with the diffusion layer.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a backlight assembly for maximizing a light incidence efficiency by changing a construction of a light guide plate and a liquid crystal display device having the same. A light incidence surface of the light guide plate receiving a light from a lamp is inclined to make an obtuse angle with a light-emitting surface through which the light is transferred to the display unit. An open surface of a lamp cover that is disposed to face towards the light incidence surface is formed to have the same inclined angle as the light incidence surface of the light guide plate. In addition, a light reflecting plate and an optical sheet are respectively disposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the light guide plate, on which light absorbing layers, for absorbing light that leaks from the light guide plate, are formed at both ends thereof. Accordingly, there are advantages in that the light incidence efficiency of the light is improved even though a thickness of the light guide plate is not increased, and that it is possible to remove the light concentrated at an edge of the light incidence surface of the light guide plate.
