Light source module and backlight unit having the same
A light source module includes a receiving container, a light source disposed in the receiving container and a filter filtering the light produced from the light source. A backlight unit includes a plurality of light source modules. The plurality of light source modules include a first light source module with a filter and a second light source module alternately disposed with the first light source module. The filter includes a substrate, a transparent layer disposed on the first metal layer and a second metal layer disposed on the transparent layer. The filter transilluminating light of specific area is disposed on the light source module. Thus, the backlight unit having high color reproducibility may be manufactured.
