A backlight unit comprising a printed circuit board; a plurality of light sources at a surface of the printed circuit board, the plurality of light sources to emit light; and a reflective sheet, arranged above the plurality of light sources, having differing transmittance on the basis of incident angle of the light from the plurality of light sources, respectively, wherein the reflective sheet is provided with at least one gap between two adjacent light sources from among the plurality of light sources.

Backlight unit and display apparatus comprising same

Provided is a backlight unit, a display apparatus, and a method of manufacturing the display apparatus capable of securing a uniform and wide illumination area with a small number of light sources through reflection of a reflective layer. The backlight unit includes a plurality of light sources configured to emit light; a first reflective layer configured to reflect the light emitted from the plurality of light sources; and a second reflective layer configured to reflect the light reflected from the first reflective layer, wherein an amount of reflection from the first reflective layer and an amount of transmission through the first reflective layer are different from each other according to an angle of incidence of light incident on the first reflective layer.

Display apparatus including reflective layer, method of manufacturing display apparatus and backlight unit

A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel, and a backlight unit configured to emit light to the liquid crystal panel. The backlight unit includes a substrate, a light emitting diode (LED) provided on the substrate and configured to emit light, and a refractive cover formed by being provided at a plurality of points separated from each other, and configured to enclose the LED.

Display apparatus and method for manufacturing the same

The disclosure relates a direct type backlight unit, and provides a backlight unit capable of reducing the thickness by maintaining necessary and sufficient optical characteristics and reducing the optical distance (OD), and a liquid crystal display apparatus including the same. Provided is a backlight unit including: light source; a diffusion plate provided to diffuse light emitted from the light source; and an optical sheet disposed between the light source and the diffusion plate and having a plurality of protrusions having a pyramidal shape and the plurality of protrusions protrude toward the light source so that light emitted from the light source is incident onto the plurality of protrusions.

Backlight unit and liquid crystal display device including the same

Provided is a display apparatus including a display panel, a light guide plate arranged behind the display panel, a light guide member configured to guide light toward a rear surface of the light guide plate, the light guide member formed of a transparent material and arranged to have a front surface come in contact with the rear surface of the light guide plate, and a light source configured to supply light to the light guide member, wherein the light guide member includes a light guide portion having a width and a length longer than the width and configured to guide widthwise movement of light supplied from the light source and an exit portion protruding forward from the light guide portion to guide the light to be emitted toward the rear surface of the light guide member.

Display apparatus

A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel; a light source module configured to provide light to the liquid crystal panel; a printed circuit board (PCB) on which the light source module is mounted; and at least one chassis accommodating the liquid crystal panel and the PCB. The light source module includes: a substrate; a reflector positioned on the substrate, and including a curved surface having a shape resulting from rotating a portion of a parabola around a directrix of the parabola, the directrix perpendicular to the substrate; and a plurality of light sources mounted on the substrate along focal points of the parabola of the reflector.

A light emitting diode (LED) apparatus is provided. The LED apparatus includes: an LED layer including a plurality of LEDs corresponding to a plurality of sub-pixels; a phosphor layer which is stacked on a top of the LED layer and includes a phosphor corresponding to at least a part of the plurality of sub-pixels; and a filter layer which is stacked on a top of the phosphor layer and includes a plurality of color filters corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels, and each of the plurality of color filters includes a plurality of absorption films which are spaced from one another at predetermined intervals to absorb external light.
