Display filter and display apparatus having the same
View Patent ↗A display filter and a display apparatus including the display filter, which can increase a contrast ratio in a bright room, and prevent a moiré phenomenon and a Newton's ring phenomenon, are provided. The display filter includes: a filter base; an external light-shielding layer comprising a base substrate including a transparent resin and light-shielding patterns spaced apart on a surface of the base substrate at predetermined intervals; and a diffusion layer diffusing a light provided from a panel assembly.
1. A display filter comprising:
a filter base;
an external light-shielding layer comprising a base substrate including a transparent resin and light-shielding patterns spaced apart on a surface of the base substrate at predetermined intervals; and
a diffusion layer diffusing a light provided from a panel assembly, wherein
an area ratio of bottom surfaces of the light-shielding patterns to the surface of the base substrate corresponds to about 20% to about 50%,
discharge cells are formed in the panel assembly,
a pixel pitch of the panel assembly is greater than a pitch of a mesh pattern, and
the pitch of the mesh pattern is greater than a pitch of the light-shielding pattern.
2. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer comprises a film including an antiglare-processed surface.
3. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the display filter is located corresponding to the panel assembly including a plurality of discharge cells, and
a pixel pitch of the panel assembly ranges from about 0.5 mm to about 2.5 mm, a pitch of the light-shielding pattern ranges from about 0.07 mm to about 0.11 mm, and a pitch of the mesh pattern ranges from about 0.25 mm to about 0.35 mm.
4. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer formed between the light-shielding layer and the filter base.
5. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer formed at opposite side of the filter base with respect to the light shielding-layer.
6. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer faces the panel assembly.
7. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding pattern corresponds to any one of a wedge-shaped black stripe form, a wedge-shaped black matrix form, a wedge-shaped black wave form, a flat-shaped black stripe form, a flat-shaped black matrix form, and a flat-shaped black wave form.
8. The display filter of claim 1 , further comprising:
any one of a semicylindrical lenticular lens and a semispherical lenticular lens, being located between the light-shielding patterns on the base substrate, and concentrating light.
9. The display filter of claim 1 , further comprising:
a bead-typed lens arranged on a surface of the base substrate,
wherein the light-shielding pattern fills a space between the base substrate and the bead-typed lens.
10. The display filter of claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding pattern includes a black inorganic/organic matter, and a metal.
11. A display apparatus comprising:
a panel assembly comprising a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate being coupled corresponding to each other, and a plurality of cells between the front substrate and the rear substrate; and
the display filter of claim 1 located corresponding to the front substrate of the panel assembly.
12. A display apparatus comprising:
a panel assembly comprising a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate being coupled corresponding to each other and a plurality of cells between the front substrate and the rear substrate; and
the display filter of claim 1 located corresponding to the front substrate of the panel assembly,
wherein a surface of the front substrate corresponding to the display filter is an antiglare-processed surface.
