Abstract

This invention provides a liquid crystal display device capable of allowing the color saturation of light reflected from a transflective type or a reflective type liquid crystal display device to be constant. In addition, According to the invention, the color filter is adjusted according to the distribution of the colors included in the light source such that the color saturation of images displayed in the reflective mode is constant. As a result, the images are clearly exhibited in the liquid crystal display device, and resolution of the color increases.

Claims (32)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source;

a liquid crystal display panel that displays images by using light provided from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a white LED module using a blue color LED and YAG, and

the size of the aperture is smaller in the order of the blue color filter, the green color filter, and the red color filter.

2. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source;

a liquid crystal display panel that display images by using light provided from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a red-green phosphor LED module forming red and green phosphors in addition to a white LED using a blue LED and YAG, and

the size difference between apertures formed in different color filters is within the range of 20%.

3. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source;

a liquid crystal display panel that display images by using light provide from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a three-color LED module using each LED that emits blue light, green light, and red light, and

the size difference between apertures formed in different color filters is within the range of 20%.

4. The liquid crystal display device of any one of claims 1 , 2 and 3 , wherein the liquid crystal display device uses reflected light to display images.

5. The liquid crystal display device of any one of claims 1 , 2 and 3 , wherein each color filter has a transmission area and a reflection area.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein the color filter includes a reflection area, and

the aperture of the reflection area is formed over the entire reflection area.

7. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source; and

a liquid crystal display panel that displays images by using light provided from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a white LED module using a blue color LED and YAG, and

the color saturation increasing ratio increases in the order of the blue color filter, the green color filter, and the red color filter.

8. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source; and

a liquid crystal display panel that displays images by using light provided from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a red-green phosphor LED module forming red and green phosphors in addition to a white LED using a blue LED and YAG, and

the difference between color saturation increasing ratios of different color filters is within the range of 20%.

9. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a front light unit including a light source; and

a liquid crystal display panel that displays images by using light provided from the light source and is formed with color filters having an aperture, wherein the light source is a three-color LED module using each LED that emits blue light, green light, and red light, and

the difference between color saturation increasing ratios of different color filters is within the range of 20%.

10. The liquid crystal display device of any one of claims 7 , 8 and 9 , wherein the liquid crystal display device uses reflected light to display images.

11. The liquid crystal display device of any one of claims 7 , 8 and 9 , wherein each color filter has a transmission area and a reflection area.

12. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , wherein the material of the color filter in the transmission area is different from the material of the color filter in the reflection area.

13. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , wherein the color filter in the reflection area has at least one aperture.
