LIGHT GUIDE PLATE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY HAVING THE SAME

摘要

A light guide plate and an LCD including the same are provided to improve the image quality by reducing a hot spot generated on the light exit surface of the light guide plate adjacent to a light source unit. A light source unit(210) emits light. A light guide plate(220) is disposed at the rear of a liquid crystal panel(100). The light guide plate includes a light exit surface through which light is directed towards the liquid crystal panel, a rear surface disposed opposite to the light exit surface, and a light entrance surface into which the light emitted from the light source unit is incident. The light entrance surface connects the light exit surface with the rear surface. A cross-section of the light entrances surface in a staked direction of the liquid crystal panel and the light guide plate includes a light entrance portion facing the light source unit and a curved portion extending from the light entrance portion.
