Abstract: A backlight unit of the invention is reduced in thickness, weight and manufacturing costs but improved in heat releasing efficiency. In the backlight unit, a flexible printed circuit board has at least one through hole perforated therein. An LED package is disposed on a top portion of the flexible printed circuit board corresponding to the through hole.

This produces a slimmer and lighter backlight unit and also saves manufacturing costs. In addition, the LED package is directly bonded onto a bottom plate by a heat conducting adhesive, thereby ensuring heat generated from the LED package to be released more quickly.

Abstract: A dimming structure for an image display device further includes a contrast panel for altering contrast differences in a portion around an outputted image to achieve dimming effects on an image smaller than a light emitting lamp. In the dimming structure, a backlight unit has a plurality of light sources disposed therein. A display panel displays an image while the backlight unit is disposed to light the display panel. A contrast panel is disposed between the backlight unit and the display panel. The contrast panel has a light emitting window formed in a portion thereof corresponding to the image of the display panel to transmit light emitted from the backlight unit therethrough. The dimming structure assures uniform dimming effects on the portion around the image despite use of a light source bigger than the image to be outputted.

Abstract: In a direct-type backlight unit, a board has upper and lower surfaces defining a thickness therebetween. A plurality of unit light sources are disposed on the board. Here, in each of the unit light sources, a wiring pattern is formed on the board. A light emitting device is disposed on the wiring pattern to electrically connect thereto. A non-conductive side wall surrounds, without interruption, the light emitting device at a predetermined interval therefrom, the non-conductive side wall having a height lower than that of the light emitting device. Also, an encapsulant is formed in a dome shape inside the side wall. In this fashion, the light emitting devices are mounted on the board by a chip-on-board technique.

Abstract: A direct-illumination backlight apparatus using LEDs includes a flat reflective plate, an LED light source, a transparent plate, a scattering pattern, and a light guide. The light guide serves to introduce a partial light from an LED light source at such an angle that the partial light is trapped inside the transparent plate, and the scattering pattern serves to scatter the trapped light beam at a position directly above the LED light source so that the scattered light beam escapes out of the transparent plate toward an LCD panel.

Abstract: A side-emission type LED package is provided. The LED package includes an LED chip, a lower structure, and an upper structure. The lower structure has a lower mirror and a transparent sealing member. The lower structure supports the LED chip. The lower mirror is extended upward and outward@ from the LED chip so as to reflect light from the LED chip upward. The transparent sealing member is formed around the LED chip inside the lower mirror. The upper structure is combined to an upper portion of the lower structure so as to reflect the light reflected upward by the lower structure to a radial lateral direction. As described above, the lower structure and the upper structure are separately provided and combined with each other, whereby molding efficiency of the sealing member is improved and the side-emission type LED package can be manufactured in an easy manner.

Also, a reflecting surface is positioned on an opposite side of the bottom surface and symmetrical around the central axis such that light incident from the bottom surface is reflected toward the light exiting surface. Further, a scattering area is formed on the reflecting surface. According to the invention, by applying scattering materials on the reflecting surface of the LED package, a reflecting paper does not need to be attached, thereby simplifying a process and reducing the manufacture time and cost.
