Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display comprising an absorption dye, wherein the liquid crystal display of the present invention may enhance color gamut and brightness by transmitting pure red, green, and blue (RGB) wavelengths emitted from a light source as much as possible and absorbing unnecessary wavelengths other than the RGB wavelengths.

Claims (26)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a backlight unit; and

a liquid crystal panel,

wherein the backlight unit sequentially comprises two or more of a reflective polarizing film, a prism sheet, a diffusion sheet, a light guide plate, and a reflective plate,

wherein the reflective polarizing film comprises an absorption dye which includes at least one of a hydroxy benzotriazole-based dye and a tetra aza porphyrin-based dye,

wherein the reflective polarizing film sequentially comprises a first polyester layer, a first adhesive layer, a core layer, a second adhesive layer, a second polyester layer, and a rear bead layer, and

wherein the reflective polarizing film has a coating layer including the absorption dye on at least one position of one side or both sides of the first polyester layer, one side or both sides of the core layer, and one side or both sides of the second polyester layer, or comprises the absorption dye in the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, or both thereof.

2. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a backlight unit; and

a liquid crystal panel,

wherein the backlight unit sequentially comprises two or more of a reflective polarizing film, a prism sheet, a diffusion sheet, a light guide plate, and a reflective plate,

wherein the reflective polarizing film comprises an absorption dye which includes at least one of a hydroxy benzotriazole-based dye and a tetra aza porphyrin-based dye,

wherein the reflective polarizing film sequentially comprises a diffusion bead layer, a diffusion coating layer, a core layer, an adhesive layer, a polyester layer, and a rear bead layer, and

wherein the reflective polarizing film has a coating layer including the absorption dye on at least one position of one side or both sides of the core layer and one side or both sides of the polyester layer, or comprises the absorption dye in the diffusion coating layer, the adhesive layer, or both thereof.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the core layer is a laminated film in which a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having different refractive indices from each other are alternatingly stacked to selectively reflect and transmit a visible light having a specific wavelength.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the core layer is a laminated film in which a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having different refractive indices from each other are alternatingly stacked to selectively reflect and transmit a visible light having a specific wavelength.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the absorption dye further comprises a dye absorbing a wavelength band of 480 nm to 510 nm or 560 nm to 610 nm.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the absorption dye further comprises a dye absorbing a wavelength band of 480 nm to 510 nm or 560 nm to 610 nm.

7. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , wherein the dye is at least one selected from the group consisting of a cyanine-based dye, a pyrrole methine-based dye, a rhodamine-based dye, and a boron dipyrromethene-based dye.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein the dye is at least one selected from the group consisting of a cyanine-based dye, a pyrrole methine-based dye, a rhodamine-based dye, and a boron dipyrromethene-based dye.

9. The liquid crystal display of claim 7 , wherein the absorption dye is a combination of the hydroxy benzotriazole-based dye, the cyanine-based dye, and the tetra aza porphyrin-based dye.

10. The liquid crystal display of claim 8 , wherein the absorption dye is a combination of the hydroxy benzotriazole-based dye, the cyanine-based dye, and the tetra aza porphyrin-based dye.

11. 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 the total weight of the absorption dye-containing coating layer or adhesive layer.

12. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the absorption dye is included in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the absorption dye-containing coating layer or adhesive layer.

13. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal panel sequentially comprises an upper polarizing plate, an adhesive layer I, a liquid crystal cell, an adhesive layer II, and a lower polarizing plate.

14. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal panel sequentially comprises an upper polarizing plate, an adhesive layer I, a liquid crystal cell, an adhesive layer II, and a lower polarizing plate.
