BACKLIGHT UNIT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device including an light emitting diode light source; a light conversion layer disposed apart from the light emitting diode light source, wherein the light conversion layer is configured to convert light emitted from the light emitting diode light source to white light and provide the white light to a liquid crystal panel; and a light guide panel disposed between the light emitting diode light source and the light conversion layer, wherein the light conversion layer includes a semiconductor nanocrystal and a polymer matrix, wherein the semiconductor nanocrystal is coated with a first polymer, and wherein the polymer matrix comprises a thermoplastic second polymer.
