Abstract

The present invention relates to a film capable of enhancing color purity and correcting brightness for a liquid crystal display device, and a liquid crystal display device comprising the same, and can provide a liquid crystal display device having enhanced color gamut and color purity by introducing, to the inside of an adhesive layer or a coating layer of the liquid crystal display device, a combination of an absorption dye for absorbing a specific wavelength band and a fluorescent dye absorbing a specific wavelength band and emitting light, thereby blocking unnecessary wavelengths except for RGB wavelengths.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising a backlight unit and a liquid crystal panel,

wherein the liquid crystal panel sequentially comprises an upper polarizing plate, a first adhesive layer, a liquid crystal cell, a second adhesive layer, and a lower polarizing plate, and

the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer comprise at least one type of an absorption dye configured to absorb a specific wavelength band and at least one type of a fluorescent dye configured to absorb and emit a specific wavelength band, in such a manner that both the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye are comprised in the same layer, or each of the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye is comprised in a different layer, respectively, in the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer,

wherein the at least one type of the absorption dye is a combination of a hydroxybenzotriazole-based absorption dye, a cyanine-based absorption dye and a tetraazaporphyrin-based absorption dye, and

the at least one type of the fluorescent dye is a combination of a perylene-based fluorescent dye, a pyrrole methine-based fluorescent dye, a pyran-based fluorescent dye, and a coumarin-based fluorescent dye.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the absorption dye has a main absorption wavelength band other than RGB wavelengths, and

the fluorescent dye has a main absorption wavelength band other than RGB wavelengths and a main emission wavelength band corresponding to the RGB wavelengths.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the absorption dye has a main absorption wavelength band of 380 to 430 nm, 480 to 510 nm, or 560 to 600 nm, and

the fluorescent dye has a main absorption wavelength band of 380 to 430 nm, 480 to 510 nm, or 560 to 600 nm, and a main emission wavelength band of 430 to 480 nm, 510 to 580 nm, or 600 to 650 nm.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the absorption dye is included in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt % based on a total weight of a coating layer or each adhesive layer, and

the fluorescent dye is included in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt % based on a total weight of the coating layer or each adhesive layer.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein a coating layer or each adhesive layer has a thickness of 2 to 100 μm.

6. A liquid crystal display comprising a backlight unit and a liquid crystal panel,

wherein the liquid crystal panel sequentially comprises an upper polarizing plate, a first adhesive layer, a liquid crystal cell, a second adhesive layer, and a lower polarizing plate, and

the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer comprise at least one type of an absorption dye configured to absorb a specific wavelength band and at least one type of a fluorescent dye configured to absorb and emit a specific wavelength band, in such a manner that both the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye are comprised in the same layer, or each of the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye is comprised in a different layer, respectively, in the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer,

wherein the backlight unit sequentially comprises a dual brightness enhancement film (DBEF) or an upper diffusion sheet, a horizontal prism sheet, a vertical prism sheet, a lower diffusion sheet, a light guide plate, and a reflective plate,

wherein the backlight unit has a coating layer on at least one of one side or both sides of the dual brightness enhancement film or the upper diffusion sheet, one side or both sides of the horizontal prism sheet, one side or both sides of the vertical prism sheet, one side or both sides of the lower diffusion sheet, and one side of the reflective plate, and

the coating layers comprise at least one type of an absorption dye configured to absorb a specific wavelength band and at least one type of a fluorescent dye configured to absorb and emit a specific wavelength band, in such a manner that both the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye are comprised in the same layer, or each of the absorption dye and the fluorescent dye is comprised in a different layer, respectively, in the coating layers.

7. A color gamut enhancing and brightness compensating film for a liquid crystal display, comprising:

a pressure-sensitive adhesive;

at least one type of an absorption dye configured to absorb a specific wavelength band; and

at least one type of a fluorescent dye configured to absorb and emit a specific wavelength band,

wherein the at least one type of the absorption dye is a combination of a hydroxybenzotriazole-based absorption dye, a cyanine-based absorption dye and a tetraazaporphyrin-based absorption dye, and

the at least one type of the fluorescent dye is a combination of a perylene-based fluorescent dye, a pyrrole methine-based fluorescent dye, a pyran-based fluorescent dye, and a coumarin-based fluorescent dye.

8. A color gamut enhancing and brightness compensating film for a liquid crystal display, comprising:

a binder resin selected from the group consisting of a polyester-based binder resin, an acryl-based binder resin, a polyurethane-based binder resin, a melamine-based binder resin, a polyvinyl alcohol-based binder resin, an oxazoline-based binder resin, and combinations thereof;

at least one type of an absorption dye configured to absorb a specific wavelength band, wherein the absorption dye is not an ultraviolet blocking agent; and

at least one type of a fluorescent dye configured to absorb and emit a specific wavelength band,

wherein the at least one type of the absorption dye is a combination of a hydroxybenzotriazole-based absorption dye, a cyanine-based absorption dye and a tetraazaporphyrin-based absorption dye, and
