A light guide panel (LGP) for use in a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus includes a light-emitting pattern surface on which light-emitting patterns are formed, an opposite surface opposite to the light-emitting pattern surface, and four edge surfaces. Lenticular patterns are formed on one of the light-emitting pattern surface and the opposite surface. The light-emitting pattern surface includes a light-emitting part in which the light-emitting patterns are formed; and an edge part which extends along the four edge surfaces to enclose the light-emitting part and in which at least one fixing groove is formed to fix the LGP. The light-emitting part includes a pattern reducing region which faces the fixing groove and has a lower light-emitting pattern density than an other region of the light-emitting part.

Light guide panel and liquid crystal display apparatus having particular light-emitting pattern surface

A scanning backlight unit, a liquid crystal display and television and a television are provided herein. The backlight unit including a light source unit having plural groups of light sources which emit light in a main incidence direction; a control unit which controls the plural groups of light sources; and a light guiding plate having a bottom surface formed with a dispersion pattern dispersing the light received from the light source unit, wherein the dispersion pattern includes a plurality of grooves, with a groove of the plurality of grooves having a shape with a first size parallel to the main incidence direction and a second size perpendicular to the main incidence direction, and wherein the first size is larger than the second size.

Scanning backlight unit and liquid crystal display having the same

A light guide plate, a backlight unit and a display apparatus including the same and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The light guide plate includes: a body which includes an incident surface and an emission surface; at least one first optical path converter which is formed in an opposite surface of the body which is opposite to the emission surface, and extends continuously in a first direction to convert an optical path of an incident light introduced through the incident surface so that the incident light passes through the emission surface; and at least one second optical path converter which is formed in the opposite surface, and is arranged discontinuously in at least one row extending in the first direction.
