LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is an LCD. The LCD includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a light source disposed at a lateral side of the second substrate to emit light toward the second substrate. According to the LCD, light is incident into the second substrate through a lateral side of the second substrate and an image is displayed by the incident light. Since the LCD does not require an additional light guide plate, the LCD can have a slim structure as compared with an existing LCD.
