Patent number: 8888356Abstract: A backlight assembly that is adapted for use with an image displaying flat panel includes a light guide plate assembly and one or more light sources disposed under the light guide plate assembly. An upper portion of the light guide plate assembly is overlapped by a display area of the flat panel while a lower portion is disposed under the upper portion, and includes light guiding material for redirecting sourced light as well as reflectors for also redirecting light sourced from small, light sourcing areas underneath the upper portion for redistribution into the larger area of light guiding material provided in the upper portion of the light guide plate assembly. The upper portion also has one or more light reflectors. In one embodiment, opposed ones of light sources are angled so they don't shine light directly into one another.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Young-Ran Son, Cheol-Yong Noh, Ju-Hwa Ha

Patent number: 8858010Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a plurality of spaced apart point light sources outputting light and each having an orientation angle greater than or equal to about 50° and less than about 90°, and an optical plate interposed between the display panel and the point light sources. The optical plate has a base comprising front and rear surfaces and a plurality of convex sections formed on the front surface of the base. Each convex section has a cross section perpendicular to the front surface in which the cross section has a form of a segment of an ellipse including an arc of an ellipse and a chord linking both ends of the arc while satisfying an equation, 1.0 < b a < 2.5 , when a minor axis of the ellipse has a length of 2a, and a major axis of the ellipse has a length of 2b.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Juhwa Ha, Sang Hoon Lee, Young-Ran Son

Patent number: 8786802Abstract: A backlight assembly includes a light source generating light and a first optical member diffusing the light. The first optical member includes a first diffusion member provided on an exit surface of the first optical member, from which the light exits, to diffuse the light. The first diffusion member includes a plurality of edges each having a curved shape and extending between the exit surface and a vertex of the first diffusion member. Accordingly, the light exiting through the exit surface is effectively diffused by the edges of the first diffusion member.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Juhwa Ha, Young-Ran Son, Joonghyun Kim, Min-Young Song, Sang Hoon Lee
