A backlight unit includes a light source which emits a first light, a light guide bar extending in a first direction, where the light guide bar receives the first light through an incident surface thereof, and guides the first light to convert the first light to a second light, and a control pattern disposed on a surface of the light guide bar, which extends in the first direction, where the control pattern converts the second light to a third light, and has a shape extending in the first direction to control an exit angle of the third light.

Backlight unit and display apparatus having the same

A display device includes a light guide plate which includes a light incident surface, a light exiting surface connected to the light incident surface, and an opposite surface facing the light exiting surface, a light source which faces the light incident surface and is configured to emit a light, a reflective sheet which faces the opposite surface and reflects the light, a first pattern which is unitary with the light guide plate and protruded from the opposite surface, a pressure sensitive adhesive which is on an upper surface of the reflective sheet and contacts the first pattern, and a display panel which is configured to receive the light exiting through the light exiting surface and display an image.

Backlight assembly and display device including the same

A display apparatus includes a light guide plate, a light source unit, a display panel, a receiving container, and a driving part. The light guide plate includes at least one chamfered corner and a light incident surface defined by the chamfered corner. The light source unit generates the light and is positioned adjacent to the light incident surface. The display panel receives the light to display an image and the receiving container includes a bottom and sidewalls extended from the bottom to receive the light guide plate and the light source unit. The driving part is electrically connected to the display panel to apply a driving signal to the display panel and is electrically connected to the light source unit to apply a power source voltage to the light source unit.

Backlight assembly and display apparatus having the same

A light guide plate includes an incident surface receiving incident light from a light source, an exit section that outputs exit light having a light distribution different from a light distribution of the incident light and a reflective section opposite to the exit section. A plurality of first patterns are formed on the exit section while being arranged in a first direction of the exit section to distribute the exit light with maximum brightness in a direction perpendicular to the exit section. A plurality of second patterns are formed on the reflective section to scatter the incident light.
