Abstract

A display apparatus is provided that 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 distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer arranged on an upper surface of the LED chip; a liquid crystal panel configured to block or pass light output from the LED chip; an optical film arranged between the LED chip and the liquid crystal panel, wherein the optical film comprises a quantum dot sheet formed to enhance color reproducibility by making a change in wavelength of light.

Claims (24)

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 distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer arranged on an upper surface of the LED chip;

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

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

wherein the optical film comprises a quantum dot sheet formed to enhance color reproducibility by making a change in wavelength of light.

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 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.

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. The display apparatus of claim 1 , 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.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer arranged on an upper surface of the growth substrate.

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

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

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the metal reflector layer comprises aluminum (Al) or a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR).

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

12. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a reflecting sheet attached to the PCB, the reflecting sheet comprising a through hole provided for the optical dome to protrude through.

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

14. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the optical film comprises a diffuser plate configured to diffuse light emitted from the LED chip.
