  • Patent number: 9740041
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display. By locating a color light emitting layer which is mainly manufactured with quantum dot material in the liquid crystal display panel, the color gamut performance of the liquid crystal display is promoted. Meanwhile, by locating the unidirectional light guide thin film at the illuminating side of the liquid crystal display panel, the lights emitted from the color light emitting layer can propagate outward through the unidirectional light guide thin film, and exterior light is blocked and reflected by the unidirectional light guide thin film and cannot propagate to the color light emitting layer to excite the quantum dots to emit light. Thus, the issue that the contrast drops or even color shift happens because the traditional quantum dot display can be easily excited by the exterior light can be prevented to promote the display quality of the liquid crystal display.
