Abstract

Disclosed is a complex film for a display apparatus, which comprises a base film; an anti-reflection film formed on a first surface of the base film and adapted to prevent reflection of external light; an external light shielding film formed on a second surface opposite to the first surface and including an external light shielding pattern, the external light shielding pattern having a plurality of external light shielding parts formed on a surface of the external light shielding film; and an adhesive film formed on the external light shielding film and including at least one colorant having a selective wavelength absorption capability. The complex film has multi-functionalities such as electromagnetic wave shielding, external light absorption, near infrared ray shielding, color correction, and the like, thereby simplifying an assembly process of the display apparatus, and reducing the thickness of the display apparatus.

Claims (31)

1 . A complex film for a display apparatus, comprising:

a base film;

an anti-reflection film formed on a first surface of the base film and adapted to prevent reflection of external light;

an external light shielding film formed on a second surface opposite to the first surface and including an external light shielding pattern, the external light shielding pattern having a plurality of external light shielding parts formed on a surface of the external light shielding film; and

an adhesive film formed on the external light shielding film and including at least one colorant having a selective wavelength absorption capability.

2 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein the base film includes a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin.

3 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein the anti-reflection film is configured such that a high refractive index substance and a low refractive index substance are sequentially repeated.

4 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of external light shielding parts are formed on a surface of the external light shielding film facing the adhesive film.

5 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of external light shielding parts has a wedge form in its cross-sectional shape, and includes a conductive substance.

6 . The complex film of claim 5 , wherein the conductive substance includes a conductive polymer.

7 . The complex film of claim 6 , wherein the conductive polymer includes at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polythiophene, polypyrrole, polyaniline, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(3-alkylthiophene), polyisothianaphthene, poly(p-phenylenevinylene), poly(p-phenylene), and a derivative thereof.

8 . The complex film of claim 6 , wherein the conductive polymer includes at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a carbon nanotube, a copper oxide, and an indium tin oxide (ITO).

9 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of external light shielding parts is spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance and has a stripe shape.

10 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein the external light shielding pattern includes a plurality of external light shielding parts orthogonal to each other, and has a mesh shape.

11 . The complex film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive film includes a near infrared absorbing colorant.

12 . The complex film of claim 11 , wherein the near infrared absorbing colorant includes at least one colorant selected from the group consisting of cobalt-based colorants, iron-based colorants, chromium-based colorants, titanium-based colorants, diimmonium-based colorants, anthraquinone-based colorants, aminium-based colorants, polymethine-based colorants, azo-based colorants, and dithiol-based metal complex colorants.

13 . The complex film of claim 1 , further comprising:

a conductive film formed on the adhesive film; and

a transparent substrate formed on the conductive film.

14 . The complex film of claim 13 , wherein the conductive film includes a conductive metal pattern.

15 . The complex film of claim 13 , wherein the conductive film includes a metal oxide.

16 . The complex film of claim 13 , wherein the transparent substrate is a glass.

17 . A display apparatus, comprising:

a panel assembly including a front substrate and a rear substrate coupled corresponding to each other, and a plurality of cells disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate; and

a complex film for a display apparatus disposed on the front substrate, the complex film comprising:

a base film;

an anti-reflection film formed on a first surface of the base film and adapted to prevent reflection of external light;

an external light shielding film formed on a second surface opposite to the first surface and including an external light shielding pattern, the external light shielding pattern having a plurality of external light shielding parts formed on a surface of the external light shielding film; and

an adhesive film formed on the external light shielding film and including at least one colorant having a selective wavelength absorption capability.

18 . The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the complex film is coupled with the front substrate by the adhesive film.

19 . The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the external light shielding pattern is formed on a surface of the external light shielding film in such a manner as to face the panel assembly.
