Abstract:
A backlight assembly comprises a light source unit emitting light, a heat-blocking plate disposed over the light source unit to prevent heat generated from the light source unit from being upwardly transmitted, and a receiving container receiving the light source unit and the heat-blocking plate. The receiving container includes a bottom plate and a plurality of sidewalls. Each of the sidewalls extends from a side of the bottom plate and has openings formed through each of the sidewalls. The openings are formed over the heat-blocking plate.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a light source for emitting light; and a light guiding plate for guiding the light emitted from the light source. A plurality of prisms is discontinuously formed on a surface of the light guiding plate in a longitudinal direction thereof.
Abstract:
A lamp assembly, light supplying module and LCD device using the same are provided. The LCD device includes the light-supplying module for generating a first light, a light distribution-changing module for receiving the first light and changing the optical characteristics of the first light to output a second light, and a display module for receiving the second light having improved optical characteristics, the light distribution-changing module being coupled to the light-supplying module by means of a first engaging member, the display module being coupled in the light distribution-changing module by means of a second engaging member, and the display module, light distribution-changing module and light-supplying module being coupled to each other by means of a third engaging member. Therefore, each component of the LCD device having above structure is easily separated, replaced and easily repaired.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a light guiding plate having a slimmed thickness and small volume, a manufacturing method of the light guiding plate and a liquid crystal display (LCD) having the light guiding plate. The light guiding plate has a light reflection face with at least one brightness enhancement recess, which allows a light having an optical distribution of a planar light source to be supplied toward the LCD panel. A brightness concentration recess is formed in the light output face to concentrate the brightness. The brightness enhancement recess and the brightness concentration recess allow an enhancement in the brightness and an increase in the uniformity in the brightness. The light guiding plate excludes use of the diffusion sheet, the prism sheet and the reflection plate from a backlight assembly, thereby significantly decreasing the total weight and volume of the LCD.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a receiving container having a bottom and a side member to provide a receiving space, a flat-type fluorescent lamp received into the receiving container to emit a light, and a supporting member having a buffer disposed between the receiving container and the flat-type fluorescent lamp to buff an impact applied to the flat-type fluorescent lamp while supporting the flat-type fluorescent lamp. The buffer has protrusions protruding from a face of the supporting member. Thus, the backlight assembly may enhance impact resistance of the backlight assembly and prevent damage of the flat-type fluorescent lamp.
Abstract:
A flat-type fluorescent lamp includes a first substrate, a second substrate and an adhesive member. The second substrate corresponds to the first substrate to form a plurality of discharge spaces. The adhesive member is interposed between the first and second substrates to combine the first substrate with the second substrate. The adhesive member includes a protrusion protruding in a longitudinal direction of the discharge spaces. Therefore, luminance uniformity and image display quality are improved.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a receiving container, a flat fluorescent lamp and a heat generating sheet. The flat fluorescent lamp is received in the receiving container. The flat fluorescent lamp includes a plurality of discharge spaces to generate light. The heat generating sheet is positioned adjacent to the flat fluorescent lamp, for example, under the flat fluorescent lamp, to supply the flat fluorescent lamp with heat. The heat generating sheet corresponds to an effective light emitting region of the flat fluorescent lamp where the light is emitted. As a result, heat is provided to the flat fluorescent lamp, thereby decreasing a time for stabilizing a luminance and improving light emitting characteristics.
Abstract:
A flat fluorescent lamp is provided that includes a body including a first substrate, a second substrate opposite to the first substrate and comprising a light emitter, a space divider, and a discharging space between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the light emitter has an embossed surface.
Abstract:
An optical member includes a light incident surface, a light exiting surface and a plurality of luminance uniformity enhancing members. The light exiting surface is opposite the light incident surface. The luminance uniformity enhancing members are formed on at least one of the light incident surface and the light exiting surface. Each of the luminance uniformity enhancing members includes a recessed surface formed between a first closed loop and a second closed loop surrounding the first closed loop. Therefore, luminance uniformity is enhanced due to the luminance uniformity enhancing member. Furthermore, a distance between a display panel and the backlight assembly may be reduced to decrease volume of a display apparatus, and a luminance of the display apparatus may be enhanced.
