  • Patent number: 9310547
    Abstract: A backlight assembly includes a light guide member extending in a direction and having a light incident surface and a light exiting surface. A light source faces the light guide member and supplies light to the light guide member through the light incident surface. A reflecting member reflects light exiting from the light exiting surface of the light guide member. The reflecting member includes a groove receiving the light guide member. A first reflecting portion is disposed under the light guide member and reflects light refracted by the light guide member in an upward direction. A second reflecting portion is disposed on the light guide member and reflects light refracted by the light guide member in a downward direction.

  • Patent number: 8888356
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8858010
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8786802
    Abstract: 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.
