Abstract

An apparatus of light source for display for display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include a light source module configured to generate and emit a light, a light transmission member configured to decrease a luminous flux per unit area and emit the light, by receiving the light from the light source module, a first wavelength conversion part arranged on a light path from the light source module to an emitting surface of the light transmission member to convert a portion of the received light to a light of a predetermined wavelength and emit the light, and a second wavelength conversion part discretely arranged from the first wavelength conversion part on the light path to convert a portion of the received light to a light of a wavelength different from the wavelength of the first wavelength conversion part and emit the light.

Claims (35)

1. An apparatus for display, the apparatus for display comprising:

a light source module including a light emitting diode configured to generate and emit light;

a display module;

a light transmission member configured to decrease a luminous flux per unit area of light from the light emitting diode and emit light to the display module;

a first wavelength conversion part arranged on a light path from the light emitting diode to the display module to convert a portion of received light to light of a predetermined wavelength and emit converted light; and

a second wavelength conversion part separately arranged from the first wavelength conversion part on the light path to convert a portion of received light to light of a wavelength different from the predetermined wavelength of the first wavelength conversion part and emit converted light,

wherein a first plane where the first wavelength conversion part emits light has a first area (A1),

wherein a second plane where the second wavelength conversion part emits light has a second area (A2), and

wherein a ratio of the second area to the first area (A2/A1) is 11˜10,000 and wherein the percentage of light incident from the second wavelength conversion part to the first wavelength conversion part is fewer than 20%.

2. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , wherein the first wavelength conversion part is arranged on an incident surface side of the light transmission member, and

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged on an emitting surface side of the light transmission member.

3. The apparatus for display of claim 2 , further comprising:

an optical sheet to refract or diffuse light by being arranged on an emitting surface of the light transmission member,

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged to either precede or follow the optical sheet on the light path.

4. The apparatus for display of claim 3 , wherein a plurality of the optical sheets is provided, and

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged between the plurality of the optical Sheets.

5. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reflecting member to reflect a light incident from the light transmission member and to emit light to an emitting surface side of the light transmission member by being arranged to face the emitting surface side of the light transmission member,

wherein the first wavelength conversion part is arranged on an incident surface side of the light transmission member, and

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged at a surface of the light transmission member which faces the reflecting member.

6. The apparatus for display of claim 5 , wherein the light source module is separately arranged either from an upper or lower surface of the light transmission member,

wherein the first wavelength conversion part is arranged on an emitting surface side of the light source module, and

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged on either an incident or an emitting surface of the light transmission member.

7. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first wavelength conversion part and the second wavelength conversion part is a film-shaped member, and

wherein the apparatus for display further includes a protective film coated on at least one surface of the film-shaped member.

8. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , wherein the second wavelength conversion part is a coated layer formed on a surface of the light transmission member.

9. The apparatus for display of claim 8 , wherein the second wavelength conversion part is divided into a plurality of fragments, and

wherein each fragment of the second wavelength conversion part functions as an optical pattern formed on the light transmission member.

10. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , wherein the first wavelength conversion part is arranged on a position on the light path to precede the light transmission member, and

wherein the second wavelength conversion part is arranged on a position on the light path to follow the light transmission member and converts incident light to light of wavelength shorter than the predetermined wavelength of the first wavelength conversion part.

11. The apparatus for display of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second wavelength conversion parts include at least one selected from a fluorescent material or a quantum dot.

12. The apparatus for display of claim 11 , wherein the fluorescent material includes any one selected from a group consisting of YAG (Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) fluorescent substance, LuAG (Lutetium Aluminium Garnet) fluorescent substance, SiAlON fluorescent substance (such as Alpha SiAlON, Beta and SiALO), Sulfide fluorescent substance, KSF fluorescent substance, Nitride fluorescent substance, Silicate fluorescent substance, and any combination thereof.

13. The apparatus for display of claim 11 , wherein the quantum dot includes any one selected from a II-VI group consisting of CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, CdSeS, CdSeTe, CdSTe, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnSTe, HgSeS, HgSeTe, CdZnSeS, CdZnSe, CdZnTe, CdHgS, CdHgSe, CdHgTe, HgZnS, HgZnSe, HggZnTe, CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe, CdZnSTe, CdHgSeS, CdHgSeTe, CdHgSTe, HgZnSeS, HgZnSeTe, HgZnSTe, and any combination thereof, or any one selected from a III-V group consisting of GaN, GaP, GaAs, AlN, AlP, AlAs, InN, InP, InAs, GaNP, GaNAs, GaPAs, AlNP, AlNAs, AlPAs, InNP, InNAs, InPAs, GaAlNP, GaAlNAs, GaAlPAs, GaInNP, GaInNAs, GaInPAs, InAlNAs, InAlPAs, and any combination thereof.
