Disclosed herein is a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a backlight unit configured to emit light, a display panel positioned in front of the backlight unit; and an optical film positioned in front of the display panel, and the optical film includes a base layer, a first refractive layer positioned in front of the base layer, a second refractive layer positioned in front of the first refractive layer and having a lower refractive index than the first refractive layer, a third refractive layer positioned at the rear of the base layer, and a fourth refractive layer positioned at the rear of the third refractive layer and having a lower refractive index than the third refractive layer.

Display apparatus

Disclosed herein is a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a display panel having a quantum dot color filter and an absorption type color filter disposed in front of the quantum dot color filter, a backlight unit configured to supply light to the display panel, and a quantum dot sheet disposed between the display panel and the backlight unit.

A display device includes a backlight unit configured to emit light, a display panel disposed in front of the backlight unit, and an optical sheet disposed between the backlight unit and the display panel. The optical sheet may include a first prism sheet including a plurality of first prisms arranged in a first direction, a second prism sheet including a plurality of second prisms arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and disposed in front of the first prism sheet; and a third prism sheet including a plurality of third prisms arranged in the first direction, and disposed in front of the second prism sheet.

Display device

A display apparatus includes a light emitting module to emit light; a first prism sheet provided on the light emitting module; a reflective polarizing sheet provided on the first prism sheet to transmit first polarized light of the light exiting the first prism sheet and reflect second polarized light of the light exiting the first prism sheet; a second prism sheet provided on the reflective polarizing sheet; and a liquid crystal panel provided on the second prism sheet, the liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal cell, a first polarizing sheet provided on a first side the liquid crystal cell, and a second polarizing sheet provided between the second prism sheet and a second side of the liquid crystal cell, wherein the second prism sheet is configured to control a transmission angle at which the light exiting the reflective polarizing sheet is transmitted by the liquid crystal cell.

A backlight unit capable of implementing matrix local dimming using cholesteric liquid crystal and a polarizing portion, and a display apparatus including the backlight unit are provided. A display apparatus may include: a backlight unit; and an image forming unit configured to create an image by performing at least one from among transmitting and blocking light emitted from the backlight unit. The backlight unit may include: a waveguide plate; a cholesteric liquid crystal layer disposed in front of the waveguide plate, and configured to perform at least one from among transmitting and circularly polarizing the light emitted from the waveguide plate, to generate at least one from among transmitted light and circularly polarized light; and a polarizing portion disposed in front of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer, and configured to transmit the transmitted light in a front direction, and to block the circularly polarized light.
