The backlight assembly (500) includes a light guide plate (300) for emitting a light in two directions (325, 335) and a brightness control member (400) for controlling brightness ratio of the light emitted in the two directions. Accordingly, the LCD apparatus may display images in the two directions, which are same to each other or different to each other using the brightness control member (400).

Abstract: A method for illuminating a liquid crystal display device, a back-light assembly for performing the same and a liquid crystal display device using the same can improve the front luminance and production yield. Lights from a lamp is incident to a LCD panel side, which are then primarily diffused for a uniformity of the luminous flux of the incident lights. The luminous flux of the primarily diffused lights is condensed with respect to a first orientation component on a plane in parallel with the LCD panel, and then partially and secondarily diffused for extending a view angle of pixels of the LCD panel. After the luminous flux of the secondarily diffused lights is condensed with respect to a second orientation component perpendicular to the first orientation on the parallel plane, the condensed lights are illuminated onto the LCD panel.

The liquid crystal display device can display information with improved brightness, so that the display quality is improved.

Abstract: Disclosed are a light guide plate, a front illumination type liquid crystal display device using the same, and a method for displaying an image therein. A light reflection pattern is formed on a light reflection surface of the light guide plate so as to change an optical distribution and prevent the moire phenomenon. The light reflection pattern prevents the light from being leaked through a side of the light guide plate, so an effective display area is not divided into a bright area, a boundary area, and a dark area. It is possible to change the optical distribution and to prevent the moire phenomenon, so the liquid crystal display device can display an image with an improved brightness uniformity.
