Abstract

A back light unit for a liquid crystal display device for improving uniformity of the light and dispensing with optical sheets. The back light unit includes a light source having a holographic pattern formed on a surface thereof opposite the display device which is to display a picture, and a reflective plate under the light source.

Claims (16)

1. A back light unit for a liquid crystal display device comprising:

a light source including a plurality of lamps

a transparent glass board on the plurality of lamps; and

a holographic pattern is directly formed on a surface of the transparent glass board,

wherein the holographic pattern is formed by casting a transparent material in a mold having a holographic image recorded thereon, and

wherein the holographic pattern has semi-spherical shapes of a variety of sizes and shapes of irregular patterns to enable diffusing and collimating of a light in various directions, and

wherein the holographic pattern includes large patterns and small patterns between the large pattern, wherein the small pattern used between the large patterns transmit and refract the light passing between the large patterns.

2. The back light unit according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lamps are CCFLs or EEFLs.

3. A method of forming a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising:

providing a light source including a plurality of lamps;

providing a transparent glass board on the plurality of lamps; and

providing a holographic pattern is directly formed on a surface of the transparent glass board,

wherein the holographic pattern is formed by casting a transparent material in a mold having a holographic image recorded thereon, and

wherein the holographic pattern has semi-spherical shapes of a variety of sizes and shapes of irregular patterns to enable diffusing and collimating of a light in various directions, and

wherein the holographic pattern includes large patterns and small patterns between the large pattern, wherein the small pattern used between the large patterns transmit and refract the light passing between the large patterns.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of lamps are CCFLs or EEFLs.
