Display apparatus

摘要

A display apparatus includes a backlight assembly which provides a light and a display panel which receives the light provided from the backlight assembly to display an image. The backlight assembly includes a light source which generates the light, and a light guide plate. The light guide plate receives the light generated from the light source through an incident surface thereof as an incident light, and outputs the incident light through an exit surface thereof as an exit light. The light guide plate includes a first optical pattern and a second optical pattern. The first optical pattern is disposed corresponding to a first area of the exit surface and collects the incident light. The second optical pattern is disposed corresponding to a remaining second area of the exit surface excluding the first area, and collects the exit light.

主权项

1. A display apparatus comprising:
a backlight assembly which emits a light; and a display panel which receives the light emitted from the backlight assembly and displays an image using the light, the backlight assembly comprising:
a light source which generates the light; anda light guide plate which receives the light generated by the light source through an incident surface thereof as an incident light, and outputs the incident light through an exit surface thereof as an exit light,wherein the light guide plate comprises:
a bottom surface facing the exit surface;side surfaces connecting the exit surface and bottom surfaces to each other; anda total area of the exit surface defined by a first area and a second area,wherein
a first optical pattern which collects the incident light and corresponds to the first area of the exit surface, an entirety of the first area of the exit surface comprising the first optical pattern elongated in the first direction substantially perpendicular to the incident surface of the light guide plate; anda second optical pattern which collects the exit light and corresponds to the second area of the exit surface excluding the first area, an entirety of the second area of the exit surface comprising the second optical pattern elongated in a second direction substantially parallel to the incident surface of the light guide plate,wherein the first area comprising the first optical pattern elongated in the first direction substantially perpendicular to the incident surface of the light guide plate is disposed between each second optical pattern and the side surfaces of the light guide plate in a plan view.
