  • Patent number: 8134781
    Abstract: There is provided an optical film for backlight units or illuminators. The optical film comprises a light-incident portion and a light exit portion. Here, the optical film is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of protrusions formed on at least one of the light-incident portion and the light exit portion, wherein a plurality of the protrusions satisfies the requirements of the following Equation: 80×H1/3?P?200×H1/3 and 0.I×D?H?D, provided that a mean diameter of protrusions is represented by ‘D’, a mean height of protrusions is represented by 1H?, and a mean distance between adjacent protrusions is represented by ‘P’. Therefore, the optical film may be useful to suppress blocking between films and the formation of surface defects, which are caused by the Moire, Newton ring and wet-out phenomena, without degrading the brightness.

  • Publication number: 20110135428
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate-processing apparatus including a plurality of process chambers, a buffer unit, and a transfer member. The transfer member transfers the substrate between the process chambers and the buffer unit, and collects the substrates processed in at least two of the process chambers where processes are simultaneously finished, to transfer the processed substrates to the buffer unit at once. Accordingly, a number of times during which the transfer member transfers substrates is decreased, so that the substrate-processing apparatus reduces the process time and improves the productivity.

  • Publication number: 20100232142
    Abstract: There is provided a condensing film for an LCD backlight unit. The condensing film including a film unit; a light outgoing unit formed in an upper surface of the film unit; and a light ingoing unit formed in a lower surface of the film unit, wherein a light diffuser is included inside the condensing film. The condensing film may be useful to widen a viewing angle and prevent the formation of hot bands by improving luminance distribution characteristics of light emitted from the condensing film since the condensing film includes a light diffuser capable of diffusing the light.

  • Publication number: 20100045897
    Abstract: There is provided a condensing film for an LCD backlight unit. The condensing film includes a base member unit; a condenser unit disposed in an upper surface of the base member unit and having unit lens groups sequentially arranged thereon, each of the unit lens group being composed of a combination of at least two lenses that are different in shape; and a reflector unit disposed in a lower surface of the base member unit and composed of an opening through which light passes and a reflective surface from which the light reflects. The condensing film configured thus may be useful to solve the problems regarding the viewing angle and the uniformity in brightness of a screen since the condensing film has a more moderate distribution of emitted light than the conventional condensing films.
