    摘要: The invention relates to an illumination device for illuminating at least one light modulator system of a liquid crystal display, the device comprising at least one waveguide substrate for guiding at least one targeted light beam that can be coupled into the waveguide substrate. The waveguide substrate is at least in optical contact with at least one holographic optical decoupling substrate comprising a plurality of decoupling regions and a decoupling region is at least designed to decouple part of the targeted light beam in the form of a plurality of sub-beams in the direction of the light modulator system. At least one diffuser module is provided, said diffuser module being designed in such a way that at least the outermost sub-beams of two neighboring decoupling regions are at least adjacent to one another before exiting the diffuser module.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a viewing angle switchable back light unit in which the general mode and the privacy mode in a liquid crystal display can be selected. The present disclosure suggests a thin film type back light unit comprising: a light guide film including a light entering part disposed at one side, a light changing part disposed at other side and a light guiding part connecting the light entering part and the light changing part; a light radiating part disposed on an upper surface of the light guide film; and a light source disposed at the light entering part of the light guide film. The light entering part includes a wedge light coupler and a light deflection element. The light changing part includes a light reflecting pattern. The light radiating part includes a light radiating film providing some of the collimated lights as back lights.
