Claims (30)

1. A display device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a plurality of light sources configured to emit blue light;

a reflective sheet comprising four edge portions, wherein a plurality of holes are disposed on the reflective sheet, the plurality of holes comprises a first hole and a second hole on each of the four edge portions of the reflective sheet, each of the four edge portions comprises an edge of the reflective sheet, the first hole is disposed at a first distance from the edge of the reflective sheet, and the second hole is disposed at a second distance from the edge of the reflective sheet, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and

a plurality of light conversion dots comprising a plurality of first light conversion dots and a plurality of second light conversion dots, wherein the plurality of first light conversion dots are disposed around the first hole of the reflective sheet, and the plurality of second light conversion dots are disposed around the second hole of the reflective sheet,

wherein a number of the plurality of first light conversion dots disposed around the first hole is greater than a number of the plurality of second light conversion dots disposed around the second hole, and

wherein the plurality of light conversion dots comprise at least one of a fluorescent material, a dye, or a pigment.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light conversion dots comprises eight first light conversion dots disposed around the first hole, and

the plurality of second light conversion dots comprises four second light conversion dots disposed around the second hole.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between two adjacent first light conversion dots of the plurality of first light conversion dots is less than a distance between two adjacent second light conversion dots of the plurality of second light conversion dots.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light conversion dots are arranged at equal angular intervals around the first hole, and

the plurality of second light conversion dots are arranged at equal angular intervals around the second hole.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an angular interval between two adjacent first light conversion dots of the plurality of first light conversion dots is less than an angle interval between two adjacent second light conversion dots of the plurality of second light conversion dots.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light conversion dots are arranged at intervals on a circumference of a first virtual circle surrounding the first hole, and

the plurality of second light conversion dots are arranged at intervals on a circumference of a second virtual circle surrounding the second hole.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of light conversion dots is a dot that is circular.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a size of each of the plurality of first light conversion dots is greater than a size of each of the plurality of second light conversion dots.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of each of the plurality of first light conversion dots is equal to or greater than 0.88 mm, and is equal to or less than 1.32 mm, and
