Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates; a color filter on one of the first and second substrates; a first polarization plate under the first substrate; a second polarization plate over the second substrate; a backlight unit under the first polarization plate; and a quantum rod sheet disposed between the color filter and the second polarization plate, wherein the quantum rod sheet includes a plurality of quantum rods, each quantum rod including one of a core, or a core and a shell, wherein when each of the quantum rod includes only the core, the core is a rod shape, and when each of the quantum rods includes the core and the shell, the shell is the rod shape, wherein the color filter is disposed between the quantum rode sheet and the backlight unit, wherein the quantum rod sheet includes the plurality of quantum rods arranged along a first direction, wherein the each quantum rod has a minor axis and a major axis, the second polarization plate has a transmission axis, and wherein the major axis, the transmission axis, and the first direction are substantially parallel, and wherein the quantum rod sheet emits light that is linearly-polarized along a direction of the major axis of the plurality of quantum rods.
