INTEGRATED LIGHT GUIDE PANEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

An integrated light guide panel for use in a backlight unit for an LCD and a method for manu¬ facturing the same are disclosed. The integrated light guide panel includes a light guide panel for guiding light, to form surface light, a reflective coating layer arranged beneath the light guide panel, to reflect light emerging from a lower surface of the light guide panel such that the light is again incident to the light guide panel, a diffusive coating layer arranged over the light guide panel, to diffuse light emerging from the light guide panel, a prism coating layer arranged over the diffusive coating layer, to concentrate light emerging from the diffusive coating layer, and low refractive coating layers respectively arranged between the light guide panel and the reflective coating layer and between the light guide panel and the diffusive coating layer. In accordance with this configuration, it is possible to reduce the number of assembly processes for the backlight unit, and thus to achieve improvements in workability and quality. It is also possible to prevent the generation of blemishes caused by wrinkles in optical films.
