Prism sheet employed in a backlight unit
The present invention relates to a prism sheet employed in a backlight unit. The prism sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a coating layer having a resin transmitting the incident light from the outside; and a plurality of beads contained in the resin and scattering the incident light; a base film disposed on the coating layer and transmitting the light; and a plurality of prisms disposed on the base film, and refracting and condensing the light transmitted from the base film. The prism sheet of the present invention may not be deformed even if the temperature of the backlight unit is increased.
1. A prism sheet, comprising:
a base film transmitting an incident light;
a plurality of prisms disposed on one side of the base film, and refracting and condensing the light transmitted from the base film; and
a heat resistance coating layer disposed on another side of the base film,
wherein the heat resistance coating layer includes a resin transmitting the incident light from an outside, and a plurality of beads contained in the resin and scattering the incident light.
2. The prism sheet of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a thickness of about 2 μm to 30 μm.
3. The prism sheet of claim 1 , wherein the resin is an acrylic resin.
4. The prism sheet of claim 3 , wherein the acrylic resin is a kind of polyacrylate or polymethacrylate.
5. The prism sheet of claim 1 , wherein the beads are contained by about 25 wt % to 35 wt % to the resin.
6. A backlight unit, comprising:
a light source; and
a prism sheet including a base film and a plurality of prisms disposed on one side of the base film,
wherein the prism sheet further includes a heat resistance coating layer disposed on another side of the base film, and having a resin transmitting the incident light from the outside, and a plurality of beads contained in the resin and scattering the incident light.
7. The backlight unit of claim 6 , wherein the coating layer has a thickness of about 2 μm to 30 μm.
8. The backlight unit of claim 6 , wherein the resin is an acrylic resin.
9. The backlight unit of claim 8 , wherein the acrylic resin is a kind of polyacrylate or polymethacrylate.
10. The backlight unit of claim 6 , wherein the beads are contained by about 25 wt % to 35 wt % to the resin.
11. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
a liquid crystal panel making a certain image by using a light; and
a backlight unit providing the light to the liquid crystal display panel, the backlight unit including:
a light source; and
a prism sheet including a base film and a plurality of prisms disposed on one side of the base film,
wherein the prism sheet further includes a heat resistance coating layer disposed on another side of the base film, and having a resin transmitting the incident light from the outside, and a plurality of beads contained in the resin and scattering the incident light.
12. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , wherein the coating layer has a thickness of about 2 μm to 30 μm.
13. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , wherein the resin is an acrylic resin.
14. The liquid crystal display device of claim 13 , wherein the acrylic resin is a kind of polyacrylate or polymethacrylate.
15. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , wherein the beads are contained by about 25 wt % to 35 wt % to the resin.
16. The backlight unit of claim 6 , further comprising a diffuser diffusing the light from the light source.
17. The liquid crystal display device of claim 11 , further comprising a diffuser diffusing the light from the light source.
