Abstract:
A backlight unit is provided. The backlight unit includes: a first surface light source array; a second surface light source array disposed on an upper portion of the first surface light source array and arranged such that a light emitting surface of the second surface light source array is parallel with a light emitting surface of the first surface light source array; and a reflection plate disposed on a lower portion of the first surface light source array and arranged such that a reflective surface of the reflection plate is parallel with the light emitting surface of the first surface light source array, wherein the second surface light source array is stacked on the first surface light source array such that the first and second surface light source arrays are offset from each other in a plane parallel to the light emitting surfaces.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus includes a display panel configured to display a 3D image; a light guide panel disposed on a rear surface of the display panel to emit light to the display panel; a first light source configured to irradiate light toward the light guide panel; a second light source configured to irradiate light toward the light guide panel; and a controller configured to control the first light source and the second light source to emit light alternately, wherein the light guide panel includes a first pattern which responds to the first light source and does not respond to the second light source, and a second pattern which responds to the second light source and does not respond to the first light source.
