  • Publication number: 20230216012
    Abstract: A back-light unit including light-emitting chips and a display apparatus are disclosed. The back-light unit includes a driving voltage line on a substrate, and a ground voltage line spaced apart from the driving voltage line. The light-emitting chips are on a lower insulating layer covering the driving voltage line and the ground voltage line. A driving chip electrically connected to the ground voltage line may be on the substrate. Each of the light-emitting chips may be electrically connected between the driving voltage line and the driving chip by emission connecting lines. A driving dummy pattern and/or a ground dummy pattern is between the light-emitting chips and the emission connecting lines. The driving dummy pattern is electrically connected to the driving voltage line, and the ground dummy pattern is electrically connected to the ground voltage line. Thus, a luminance difference of the light-emitting chips may be prevented or at least reduced.

  • Patent number: 10703179
    Abstract: Discussed is a lighting apparatus having an organic light-emitting element configured as a transparent window and provided with an optical filter to prevent transmission of light when light having an intensity higher than a preset intensity is incident on the lighting apparatus so as to allow the lighting apparatus to be driven in a transparent mode, an opaque mode, and a lighting mode. The organic light-emitting element includes first and second electrodes and an organic emission layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode to emit light when a signal is applied thereto. The organic light-emitting element performs single-side emission or dual-side emission. The optical filter is formed of a photochromic material or an electrochromic material to make the lighting apparatus be opaque so as to adjust the transmissivity of light when the light having the intensity higher than the preset intensity is incident on the lighting apparatus.
