Liquid crystal display device including back light unit having LED array
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to a back light unit having an LED array structure for reducing light leakage problem at edge portion. A liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display panel; an optical sheet disposed under the liquid crystal display panel; and an LED array having red LED, green LED and blue LED are sequentially arrayed under the optical sheet, wherein one portion of an outermost LED of the LED array is included within an area covered by the liquid crystal display panel, and other portion of the outermost LED of the LED array is excluded from the area covered by the liquid crystal display panel.
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a liquid crystal display panel;
an optical sheet disposed under the liquid crystal display panel;
a light guide disposed under the optical sheet for receiving light from one side surface, diffusing the light and radiating the light through a surface facing with the optical sheet and the liquid crystal display panel;
an LED array having red LEDs, green LEDs and blue LEDs sequentially arrayed under the optical sheet; and
an additional LED,
wherein the LED array is disposed to face the side surface,
wherein each LED of the LED array has a rectangular shape;
wherein an outermost LED of the LED array is arrayed horizontally, and other LEDs are arrayed vertically, such that one portion of the outermost LED of the LED array is included within an area covered by the liquid crystal display panel, and other portion of the outermost LED of the LED array is excluded from the area covered by the liquid crystal display panel;
wherein the outermost LED arrayed horizontally is located at an upper position of the other LEDs arrayed vertically;
wherein the additional LED is disposed under the outermost LED arrayed horizontally; and
wherein the outermost LED, the additional LED and a closest LED of the other LEDs arrayed vertically have an RGB combination.
2. The device according to the claim 1 , further comprising a diffusion film disposed under the optical sheet;
wherein the LED array is disposed under the diffusion film to face a plane surface of the diffusion film, the optical sheet and the liquid crystal display panel;
wherein each LED of the LED array has a rectangular shape.
3. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the outermost LED is a red LED.
4. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the one portion of the outermost LED of the LED array is selected to have a ratio value from 30% to 70%.
5. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein an area ratio between the one portion of the outermost LED include into the area covered by the liquid crystal display panel and the other portion of the outermost LED excluded from the area covered by the liquid crystal display panel is 1:1.
