Abstract:
A backlight unit includes a light conversion member; a light guide plate including a light exit surface, a rear surface facing the light exiting surface, and connection surfaces including a first surface and a second surface facing each other to connect the light exit surface and the rear surface; a reflective member; and a light source emitting a first color light incident to the first surface and a portion of the first color light reaches the second surface on which the reflective member is disposed to specularly reflect the portion of the first color light. The light conversion member is disposed on the light exit surface, receives the first color light from the light guide plate, and emits a second color light different from the first color light.
Abstract:
A display device includes a display panel having a display region, and including a light transmission region overlapping an electronic element within an edge portion of the display region, and a panel driver configured to drive the display panel, and configured to perform an edge-dimming operation that gradually decreases a luminance of an area of the display region excluding the light transmission region from a center portion of the display region to the edge portion of the display region while not decreasing a luminance of the light transmission region.
Abstract:
The high intensity light output of edge lighting point light sources such as LEDs may generate undesired leakage light that is optically conducted by way of a continuum of the material of a components affixing adhesive member. In accordance with present disclosure, air filled grooves or other such discontinuities are formed in the adhesive member along respective light output pathways of the respective point light sources. One corresponding embodiment comprises spaced apart LEDs mounted on an FPCB; a light guide plate (LGP) disposed adjacent to the LEDs; a main support accommodating the LEDs and the LGP; and an adhesive member formed to affix together the FPCB, the main support, and the light guide, wherein the adhesive member is patterned to define air filled grooves along respective light output pathways of the LEDs.
