Abstract:
A wavelength converter and a liquid crystal display having the same, the wavelength converter including a first pattern that converts a wavelength of light into red light, and a second pattern that converts a wavelength of light into green light. The first pattern and the second pattern are alternately disposed, and an optical path length La of each of the first pattern and the second pattern is given by Equation (1): La=(λa/2)×m, wherein La is an optical length of an a-th pattern, λa is a wavelength of light converted by the a-th pattern, a is one or two, and m is a natural number.
Abstract:
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.
