Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch module including a light emitting part, a light waveguide, a frustration layer, and a light receiving part. The light emitting part emits light and is disposed along a first direction. The light waveguide includes a first side surface and a second side surface and transmits light incident to the first side surface to the second side surface. The light emitting part is disposed on the first side surface, and the second side surface is disposed opposite to the first side surface along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The frustration layer is disposed over the light waveguide and contacts the light waveguide in response to a touch to frustrate a total internal light reflection. The light receiving part is disposed on the second side surface of the light waveguide to detect a position of the touch.

Abstract: In a method of detecting a touch position, light is emitted. A plurality of light beams derived from the emitted light is received. The light beams have different paths from each other. The light beams are partially reflected according to a touch. The touch position is detected based on an amount of light in the received light beams. According to the present invention, the touch positions of several touching elements may be individually detected.

Abstract: A backlight unit includes a light source substrate on which a light source is mounted, a first light source plate which is disposed on the light source substrate and includes a cylindrical aperture corresponding to the light source, and a second light source plate which is disposed on the first light source plate and includes a partial transmission pattern on a bottom surface thereof. The partial transmission pattern corresponds to the aperture and allows part of light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough.
