Abstract:
A backlight unit including an optical pattern sheet and a liquid crystal display are provided. The backlight unit includes a light guide plate, a light source portion arranged adjacent to a side surface of the light guide plate to emit light, a mold frame having an extension portion that covers an upper portion of the light source portion and a part of an upper portion of the light guide plate, and an optical pattern sheet arranged on a lower portion of the extension portion to shade or diffuse incident light, wherein the optical pattern sheet includes a base film and an optical pattern portion positioned on the base film.
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.
