Abstract

Disclosed is a display apparatus and light source device which includes an optical dome having a specifically defined shape to be able to maintain an optical profile of a light source. A display apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB); a light emitting diode (LED) chip mounted on the PCB and configured to emit light; an optical dome disposed over and enclosing the LED chip; a liquid crystal panel configured to block or pass light output from the LED chip; and an optical film arranged between the LED chip and the liquid crystal panel, wherein a ratio of a height of the optical dome to a diameter of a bottom surface of the optical dome is 0.25 to 0.31.

Claims (45)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a printed circuit board (PCB);

a light emitting diode (LED) chip mounted on the PCB and configured to emit light;

an optical dome disposed over and enclosing the LED chip;

a liquid crystal panel configured to block or pass light output from the LED chip; and

an optical film arranged between the LED chip and the liquid crystal panel,

wherein a ratio of a height of the optical dome to a diameter of a bottom surface of the optical dome is 0.25 to 0.31,

wherein the LED chip comprises a horizontal side and a vertical side, and

wherein the vertical side is 500 μm or less in length and the horizontal side is 500 μm or less in length.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the LED chip is provided to emit blue light.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the optical film comprises a quantum dot sheet formed to enhance color reproducibility by making a change in wavelength of light.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the LED chip is mounted on a mounting surface of the PCB in a chip on board (COB) method.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a distance between a center of the bottom surface of the optical dome and a center of the LED chip to the diameter of the bottom surface of the optical dome is greater than 0 but less than or equal to 0.2.

6. A display apparatus comprising:

a printed circuit board (PCB);

a light emitting diode (LED) chip mounted on the PCB and configured to emit light;

an optical dome disposed over and enclosing the LED chip;

a liquid crystal panel configured to block or pass light output from the LED chip; and

an optical film arranged between the LED chip and the liquid crystal panel,

wherein a ratio of a height of the optical dome to a diameter of a bottom surface of the optical dome is 0.25 to 0.31, and

wherein the LED chip comprises an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, and a light-emitting layer arranged between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer configured to emit light.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the LED chip further comprises:

a growth substrate arranged to cover an upper surface of the n-type semiconductor layer or the p-type semiconductor layer,

a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer arranged on an upper surface of the growth substrate, and

a metal reflector layer arranged on a lower surface of the light-emitting layer.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the metal reflector layer comprises aluminum (Al) or a DBR.

9. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the growth substrate comprises a sapphire substrate.

10. A display apparatus comprising:

a reflecting sheet attached to the PCB, the reflecting sheet comprising a through hole provided for the optical dome to protrude through,

wherein a ratio of a height of the optical dome to a diameter of a bottom surface of the optical dome is 0.25 to 0.31.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the optical dome comprises silicon or epoxy resin.

12. A display apparatus comprising:

a printed circuit board (PCB);

a light emitting diode (LED) chip mounted on the PCB and configured to emit light;

an optical dome disposed over and enclosing the LED chip;

a liquid crystal panel configured to block or pass light output from the LED chip; and

an optical film arranged between the LED chip and the liquid crystal panel,
