Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid crystal display apparatus (600) having enhanced axial brightness as well as embodying a thin and lightweight LCD. A first light (L1) generated from a light source (120) is incident to a light guiding plate (200). A path of the first light is changed by the light guiding plate (200), and a third light (L3) exits toward a reflecting plate (300). Then, the third light (L3) is reflected on the reflecting plate (300) to be changed into a second light (L2) with enhanced axial brightness. The third light (L3) is converged to be the second light (L2) with enhanced axial brightness by the reflecting late (300) with a surface structure having a triangular prism shape. Thus, the liquid crystal display apparatus is capable of enhancing the axial brightness as well as minimizing the overall dimension and weight.
