  • Backlight unit and liquid crystal display including the same
    Patent number: 7884532
    Abstract: A backlight unit using a microwave plasma ultraviolet lamp as a light source and a liquid crystal display including the backlight unit. The backlight unit for a liquid crystal display comprises a tube filled with discharge gas, a cavity resonator in which one end of the tube is inserted, a magnetron for generating microwaves and supplying the generated microwaves to the cavity resonator, a magnetron driver for driving the magnetron, and a phosphor layer for converting ultraviolet light generated in the tube into visible light.
    Type: Grant

  • Backlight assembly and display device having the same
    Publication number: 20070041172
    Abstract: A backlight assembly for a display includes a microwave generating member, a light-generating member and a light-guiding member. The microwave generating member generates a microwave and light-generating member generates light by using the microwave. Light-guiding member is connected to light-generating member to guide light generated from light-generating member. The backlight assembly generates light by using a microwave instead of an electrode and a fluorescent material so that the display device may have enhanced luminance uniformity and stability.
