Patent number: 10627669Abstract: An optical film includes a prism part having a plurality of prism patterns obliquely arranged in rows on a multilayer-structured reflective polarizing part. The reflective polarizing part is configured to reflect light from a first polarization axis and transmit light through a second polarization axis perpendicular to the first polarization axis. The rows of the prism patterns are arranged at a predetermined angle of inclination relative to the second polarization axis to reduce a Moiré phenomenon. The optical film may be adopted in a liquid crystal display device including a backlight unit to transmit light to a liquid crystal panel. A first polarizing plate is disposed between the optical film and the liquid crystal panel, and has a transmission axis that coincides with the second polarization axis of the reflective polarizing part to maximize light transmission from the backlight unit to the liquid crystal display.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yeoun-Jei Jung
