Title: Optical path control member and display device comprising same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     An embodiment relates to an optical path control member, and to a display device including the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     A light blocking film blocks transmitting of light from a light source, and is attached to a front surface of a display panel which is a display device used for a mobile phone, a notebook, a tablet PC, a vehicle navigation device, a vehicle touch, etc., so that the light blocking film adjusts a viewing angle of light according to an incident angle of light to express a clear image quality at a viewing angle needed by a user when the display transmits a screen. 
     In addition, the light blocking film may be used for the window of a vehicle, building or the like to shield outside light partially to prevent glare, or to prevent the inside from being visible from the outside. 
     That is, the light blocking film may be an optical path control member that controls the movement path of light to block light in a specific direction and transmit light in a specific direction. Accordingly, it is possible to control the viewing angle of the user by controlling a transmission angle of the light by the light blocking film. 
     Meanwhile, such a light blocking film may be divided into a light blocking film that can always control the viewing angle regardless of the surrounding environment or the user&#39;s environment and a switchable light blocking film that allow the user to turn on/off the viewing angle control according to the surrounding environment or the user&#39;s environment. 
     Such a switchable light blocking film may be implemented by switching a pattern part to a light transmitting part and a light blocking part by filling the inside of the pattern part with particles that may move when a voltage is applied and a dispersion liquid for dispersing the particles and by dispersing and aggregating the particles. 
     In this case, in order to apply a voltage to the light blocking film, an electrode of the switchable light blocking film and an external power supply should be connected. Such a connection portion is an electrode connection portion, not a region controlling a viewing angle, and may be defined as a bezel region in a display device. 
     In addition, when the light blocking film is adhered to a display panel by a pattern portion of the light blocking film, there is a problem that a moire phenomenon occurs due to overlapping of the pattern portion of the light blocking film and a pattern portion of the display panel, thereby deteriorating visibility. 
     Therefore, an optical path control member having a new structure capable of preventing deterioration in visibility and reducing a bezel region is required. 
     DISCLOSURE 
     Technical Problem 
     An embodiment is directed to providing an optical path control member capable of increasing a display region by reducing a bezel region and improving visibility by reducing moire. 
     Technical Solution 
     An optical path control member according to an embodiment includes: a first substrate; a first electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate disposed on the first substrate; a second electrode disposed under the second substrate; and a light conversion part disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate include a first direction, a second direction different from the first direction, and a third direction defined as a thickness direction of the first substrate and the second substrate, the light conversion part includes a partition wall part and a reception part alternately disposed, the reception part has a light transmittance changing according to application of a voltage, the reception part extends in a fourth direction, and the reception part has a lower surface inclined at an acute angle with respect to one side surface of the first substrate. 
     An optical path control member according to an embodiment includes: a first substrate; a first electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate disposed on the first substrate; a second electrode disposed under the second substrate; and a light conversion part disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate include a first direction, a second direction different from the first direction, and a third direction defined as a thickness direction of the first substrate and the second substrate, the light conversion part includes a partition wall part and a reception part alternately disposed, the reception part has a light transmittance changing according to application of a voltage, the first substrate includes a first edge region, the second substrate includes the first edge region and a second edge region facing the first and second substrates in the thickness direction, the first electrode includes a first connection portion disposed on an edge region of the first substrate, and the second electrode includes a second connection portion disposed on an edge region of the second substrate. 
     Advantageous Effects 
     An optical path control member according to an embodiment can reduce a size of a bezel region where the optical path control member and a printed circuit board are connected. 
     In detail, first and second connection portions respectively connected to first and second electrodes of the optical path control member can be disposed in a first edge region of a first substrate and a second edge region of a second substrate, respectively. 
     Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a size of a region where a light conversion part is not disposed in the optical path control member. 
     That is, the optical path control member according to the embodiment can reduce a bezel region where the light conversion part that changes a viewing angle is not disposed. 
     In addition, since a size of a sealing part sealing the bezel region is reduced as the bezel region is reduced, when the optical path control member is combined with a display panel and applied to a display device, an effective region of a display is more increased, thereby reducing a size of a bezel region of the display device. 
     In addition, it is possible to prevent moire by disposing an extended shape of a reception part of the light conversion part of the optical path control member to be inclined in a predetermined angular range. 
     In detail, when the optical path control member is combined with the display panel and applied to the display device, a moire phenomenon, which is caused by overlapping a pattern of the display panel with the reception part, can be reduced by tilting and disposing the reception part in a predetermined angular range. 
     Accordingly, visibility of the display device may be improved. 
     In addition, by disposing a first connection portion and a second connection portion in the same direction and disposing the first and second connection portions at positions facing each other in a thickness direction of the first and second substrates, it is possible to connect both the first and second connection portions with one printed circuit board, so that it is possible to easy connect the printed circuit board to the first and second connection portions.

     In addition, the first substrate  110  may be transparent. For example, the first substrate  110  may include a transparent substrate capable of transmitting light. 
     The first substrate  110  may include glass, plastic, or a flexible polymer film. For example, the flexible polymer film may be made of any one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyether sulfone (PES), cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), triacetylcellulose (TAC) film, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, polyimide (PI) film, and polystyrene (PS), which is only an example, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

     Further, the first substrate  110  may be a curved or bended substrate. That is, the optical path control member including the first substrate  110  may also be formed to have flexible, curved, or bent characteristics. Accordingly, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be changed to various designs. 
     The first substrate  110  may extend in a first direction  1 A, a second direction  2 A, and a third direction  3 A. 
     In detail, the first substrate  110  may include the first direction  1 A corresponding to a length or width direction of the first substrate  110 , a second direction  2 A extending in a direction different from the first direction  1 A and corresponding to the length or width direction of the first substrate  110 , and a third direction  3 A extending in a direction different from the first direction  1 A and the second direction  2 A and corresponding to a thickness direction of the first substrate  110 .

     Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first direction  1 A will be described as the length direction of the first substrate  110 , the second direction  2 A will be described as the width direction of the first substrate  110 , and the third directions  3 A will be described as the thickness direction of the first substrate  110 . 
     The first electrode  210  may be disposed on one surface of the first substrate  110 . In detail, the first electrode  210  may be disposed on an upper surface of the first substrate  110 . That is, the first electrode  210  may be disposed between the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120 . 
     The first electrode  210  may include a transparent conductive material. For example, the first electrode  210  may include a conductive material having a light transmittance of about 80% or more.

     The first electrode  210  may have a thickness of 0.05 μm to 2 μm. 
     Alternatively, the first electrode  210  may include various metals to realize low resistance. For example, the first electrode  210  may include at least one metal of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), molybdenum (Mo). Gold (Au), titanium (Ti), and alloys thereof. 
     Referring to  FIG.  2   , the first electrode  210  may be disposed on the entire surface of one surface of the first substrate  110 . In detail, the first electrode  210  may be disposed as a surface electrode on one surface of the first substrate  110 . However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the first electrode  210  may be formed of a plurality of pattern electrodes having a uniform pattern such as a mesh or stripe shape. 
     For example, the first electrode  210  may include a plurality of conductive patterns. In detail, the first electrode  210  may include a plurality of mesh lines crossing each other and a plurality of mesh openings formed by the mesh lines. 
     Accordingly, even though the first electrode  210  includes a metal, the first electrode  210  is not visually recognized from the outside, so that visibility may be improved. In addition, the light transmittance is increased by the openings, so that the brightness of the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be improved. 
     The second substrate  120  may be disposed on the first substrate  110 . In detail, the second substrate  120  may be disposed on the first electrode  210  on the first substrate  110 .

That is, the second electrode  220  may be disposed on one surface of the second substrate  120  in which the second substrate  120  and the first substrate  110  face each other. That is, the second electrode  220  may be disposed to face the first electrode  210  on the first substrate  110 . That is, the second electrode  220  may be disposed between the first electrode  210  and the second substrate  120 . 
     The second electrode  220  may include a material the same as or similar to that of the first substrate  110  described above. 
     The second electrode  220  may include a transparent conductive material. For example, the second electrode  220  may include a conductive material having a light transmittance of about  80 % or more. As an example, the second electrode  220  may include a metal oxide such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, copper oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, etc. 
     The second electrode  220  may have a thickness of about 0.1 μm to about 0.5 μm.

     Referring to  FIG.  3   , the second electrode  220  may be disposed on the entire surface of one surface of the second substrate  120 . In detail, the second electrode  220  may be disposed as a surface electrode on one surface of the second substrate  120 . However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the second electrode  220  may be formed of a plurality of pattern electrodes having a uniform pattern such as a mesh or stripe shape. 
     For example, the second electrode  220  may include a plurality of conductive patterns. In detail, the second electrode  220  may include a plurality of mesh lines crossing each other and a plurality of mesh openings formed by the mesh lines. 
     Accordingly, even though the second electrode  220  includes a metal, the second electrode  220  is not visually recognized from the outside, so that visibility may be improved. In addition, the light transmittance is increased by the openings, so that the brightness of the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be improved. 
     The first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may have sizes corresponding to each other. The first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may have sizes the same as or similar to each other. 
     In detail, a first length extending in the first direction  1 A of the first substrate  110  may have a size the same as or similar to a second length L 2  extending in the first direction  1 A of the second substrate  120 .

     For example, the first width and the second width may have a size of 150 mm to 200 mm. 
     In addition, the first width extending in the second direction  2 A of the first substrate  110  and the second width extending in the second direction  2 A of the second substrate  120  may be different from each other. 
     For example, the first width and the second width may have different sizes within a range of 150 mm to 200 mm. 
     In addition, a first thickness extending in the third direction  3 A of the first substrate  110  may have a size the same as or similar to a second thickness extending in the third direction  3 A of the second substrate  120 . 
     For example, the first thickness and the second thickness may have a size of 30 μm to 80 μm. 
     Referring to  FIG.  1   , the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed to be misaligned from each other. 
     In detail, the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed at positions misaligned from each other in the first direction  1 A. In detail, the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed so that side surfaces of the substrates are misaligned from each other. In more detail, the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed so that edge regions facing each other are misaligned from each other. 
     Accordingly, the first substrate  110  may be disposed to protrude in one direction, and the second substrate  120  may be disposed to protrude in the other direction. 
     That is, the first substrate  110  may include a first protrusion protruding in one direction, and the second substrate  110  may include a second protrusion protruding in the other direction. 
     That is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be disposed to be misaligned from each other. That is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be disposed at positions that do not overlap each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Accordingly, the optical path control member  1000  may include a region where the first electrode  210  is exposed on the first substrate  110  and a region where the second electrode  220  is exposed under the second substrate  120 . 
     That is, the first electrode  210  disposed on the first substrate  110  may be exposed at the first protrusion, and the second electrode  220  disposed under the second substrate  120  may be exposed at the second protrusion. 
     The first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  exposed at the protrusions may be connected to an external printed circuit board through a connection portion that will be described below. 
     The light conversion part  300  may be disposed between the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120 . In detail, the light conversion part  300  may be disposed between the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220 . 
     An adhesive layer or a buffer layer may be disposed between at least one of between the light conversion part  300  and the first substrate  110  or between the light conversion part  300  and the second substrate  120 . 
     For example, a buffer layer  410  may be disposed between the first substrate  110  and the light conversion part  300 , and the adhesion of the first substrate  110  and the light conversion part  300  may be improved by the buffer layer  410 . 
     In addition, an adhesive layer  420  may be disposed between the second substrate  120  and the light conversion part  300 , and the second substrate  120  and the light conversion part  300  may be adhered to each other through the adhesive layer  420 . 
     That is, the first substrate  110 , the second substrate  120 , and the light conversion part  300  may be adhered to each other by the buffer layer  410  and the adhesive layer  420 . 
     The light conversion part  300  may include a plurality of partition wall parts and reception parts. Light conversion particles that move according to application of a voltage may be disposed in the reception part, and light transmission characteristics of the optical path control member may be changed by the light conversion particles. 
     A size of the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than a size of at least one of the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120 . 
     For example, an area of a lower portion of the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than an area of an upper portion of the first substrate  110 . That is, the light conversion part  300  may be disposed so that an upper surface of the first substrate  110 , that is, the first electrode  210  or the buffer layer  410  disposed on the first substrate  110  is partially exposed. 
     In addition, an area of an upper portion of the light conversion part may be smaller than an area of a lower portion of the second substrate  120 . That is, the light conversion part  300  may be disposed so that a lower surface of the second substrate  120 , that is, the second electrode  220  or the adhesive layer  420  disposed under the second substrate  120  is partially exposed. 
     For example, the light conversion part  300  may have a length of a short side and a long side based on the first direction  1 A. The length of the short side of the light conversion part  300  based on the first direction  1 A may be smaller than lengths of the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  in the first direction. 
     As described above, the side surfaces of the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed to be misaligned from each other. 
       FIG.  4    is a view for describing arrangement of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , and the light conversion part  300 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , the light conversion part  300  may be disposed to partially expose the first electrode  210  or the buffer layer  410  disposed on the first substrate  110 . That is, an area in contact with or corresponding to the first electrode  210  and the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than an area of an upper surface of the first electrode  210 . 
     For example, based on the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210  or the buffer layer  410  disposed on an edge region of the first substrate  110  may be exposed. That is, a first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be defined as a region that is not in contact with the light conversion part  300 . That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be defined as a region where the light conversion part  300  is not disposed. That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be a first connection portion of the first electrode connected to the printed circuit board. That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may include a region where the buffer layer  410  is not disposed. 
     That is, the first electrode  210  may be disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , and the first electrode  210  may include a connection portion CA 1  in which the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first edge region EA 1 . 
     The buffer layer  410  may not be disposed or may be partially disposed in the first edge region EA 1 . 
     That is, when the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as an entire region of the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . 
     In addition, when the buffer layer  410  is partially disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as a partial region where the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . That is, the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as a region where the first electrode  210  is exposed on the buffer layer  410  on the first edge region EA 1 . 
     That is, the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as a whole or a part of the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . 
       FIG.  5    is a view for describing the arrangement of the second substrate  120 , the first electrode  220 , and the light conversion part  300 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  5   , the light conversion part  300  may be disposed to partially expose the second electrode  220  or the adhesive layer  420  disposed under the second substrate  120 . That is, a contact or corresponding area between the second electrode  220  and the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than an area of a lower surface of the second electrode  220 . 
     For example, based on the second substrate  120 , the second electrode  220  disposed on an edge region of the second substrate  120  may be exposed. That is, a second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be defined as a region that is not in contact with the light conversion part  300 . That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be defined as a region where the light conversion part  300  is not disposed. That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be a second connection portion of the second electrode connected to the printed circuit board. That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may include a region where the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed. 
     That is, the second electrode  220  or the adhesive layer  420  may be disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , and the second electrode  220  may include a second connection portion CA 2  in which the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second edge region EA 2 . 
     The adhesive layer  420  may not be disposed or may be partially disposed in the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, when the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as an entire region of the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . 
     In addition, when the adhesive layer  420  is partially disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as a partial region where the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . That is, the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as a region where the second electrode  220  is exposed on the adhesive layer  420  on the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as a whole or a part of the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be formed in a polygonal shape. For example, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may have a triangular shape. In detail, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be formed in a triangular shape having two cut surfaces connected to each other. 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may not overlap each other. That is, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA may not overlap each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Accordingly, the first connection portion CA 1  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  disposed on the second edge region EA 2  may also not overlap each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed to face each other. In detail, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed to face each other in a diagonal direction. In more detail, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed to face each other in a direction between the first direction  1 A and the second direction  2 A. 
     Accordingly, the first connection portion CA 1  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  disposed on the second edge region EA 2  may also be disposed to face each other in the diagonal direction. 
     That is, the first connection portion CA 1  is disposed at one end of the first substrate in the first direction, and the second connection portion CA 2  is disposed at the other end of the second substrate in the first direction, so that the first connection portion CA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  may not overlap each other in the third direction and may be disposed to face each other in the diagonal direction defined as a direction between the first direction and the second direction. 
     Hereinafter, a position of a sealing part and a position of the light conversion part of the optical path control member according to a first embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to  FIGS.  6  to  14   . 
     Referring to  FIG.  6   , a sealing part  500  may be disposed on an outer surface of the optical path control member. The sealing part  500  may be completely or partially disposed on side surfaces of the optical path control member in the first direction  1 A and side surfaces in the second direction  2 A. 
     The sealing part  500  may be disposed in contact with the partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320 . 
     In detail, the sealing part  500  may include a first sealing part  510 , a second sealing part  520 , and a third sealing part  530 . The first sealing part  510 , the second sealing part  520 , and the third sealing part  530  may be distinguished in accordance with positions disposed in the optical path control member. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  6  and  7   , the first sealing part  510  may be disposed on the side surfaces of the optical path control member in the first direction  1 A facing each other. In detail, the first sealing part  510  may be disposed to extend along a lower surface of the first substrate  110 , side surfaces of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , the adhesive layer  420 , and the second electrode  220  in the first direction  1 A, and an upper surface of the second substrate  120 . 
     In addition, referring to  FIGS.  6 ,  10  and  11   , the second sealing part  520  may be disposed on the side surfaces of the optical path control member in the second direction  2 A facing each other. In detail, the second sealing part  520  may be disposed to extend along the lower surface of the first substrate  110 , side surfaces of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , the adhesive layer  420 , and the second electrode  220  in the second direction  2 A, and the upper surface of the second substrate  120 . 
     The first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may be disposed in contact with each other. In detail, at least one end of one end and the other end of the first sealing part  510  may be disposed in contact with the second sealing part  520 . Alternatively, the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other. 
     The first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may seal the reception part  320  exposed in a lateral direction of the light converting part  300 . In detail, the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may seal the reception part  320  exposed to the side surface in the first direction  1 A and the side surface in the second direction  2 A of the light conversion part  300 . 
     Accordingly, the reception part  320  may prevent penetration of external impurities such as moisture and oxygen by the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520 . 
     In addition, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed on the first electrode  210  and under the second electrode  220 . In detail, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed between the first electrode  210  disposed on the first edge region and the second electrode  220  disposed on the second edge region. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  6 ,  8  and  9   , the third sealing part  530  may be disposed on the first electrode  210  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and may be disposed under the second electrode  220  disposed on the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed in contact with the upper surface of the first electrode  210  and the side surfaces of the buffer layer  410  and the light conversion part  300  in the second direction  2 A in the first edge region EA 1 . Alternatively, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed in contact with the upper surface of the first electrode  210  and the side surfaces of the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , and the adhesive layer  420  in the second direction  2 A in the first edge region EA 1 . 
     In addition, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed in contact with the lower surface of the second electrode  220  and the side surfaces of the adhesive layer  420  and the light conversion part  300  in the second direction  2 A in the second edge region EA 2 . Alternatively, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed in contact with the lower surface of the second electrode  220  and the side surfaces of the adhesive layer  420 , the light conversion part  300 , and the buffer layer  410  in the second direction  2 A in the second edge region EA 2 . 
     The third sealing part  530  may be disposed to be spaced apart from the first sealing part  510 . In addition, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed to be spaced apart from the second sealing part  520 . 
     In this case, a width of the third sealing part  530  may be smaller than widths of the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2 . In detail, the width of the third sealing part  520  may be smaller than a long width of the first edge region EA 1  and a long width of the second edge region EA 2 . 
     Accordingly, a first region where the third sealing part  530  is disposed and a second region where the third sealing part  530  is not disposed may be formed in the first connection portion CA 1  on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  on the second edge region EA 2 , and the printed circuit board may be connected to the first electrode and the second electrode in the second region of the first connection portion CA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2 . 
     The third sealing part  530  may strengthen sealing in the lateral direction of the light conversion part  300 . In detail, the third sealing part  530  is disposed in contact with the partition wall part  310  that is the side surface of the light conversion part  300  in the second direction, and thus it is possible to prevent the inflow of impurities penetrating into the reception part through the partition wall part  310 . 
     That is, when manufacturing the optical path controlling member according to the first embodiment, a cutting process is performed in order to manufacture a plurality of optical path controlling members, and in such a cutting process, widths of the partition wall parts of the light conversion parts on both side surfaces of each optical path controlling member may not be constant. In particular, during the cutting process, a specific optical path control member may have a partition wall part having a thin width, and accordingly, external impurities may penetrate into the reception part through the partition wall part. 
     Accordingly, in the optical path control member according to the first embodiment, by disposing the third sealing part on the side surface of the partition wall part in the second direction, it is possible to effectively prevent penetration of impurities due to the above reasons. 
     As described above, referring to  FIGS.  8  and  9   , the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may include an edge region EA 1  and a second edge region EA 2  where the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  are exposed, respectively. 
     A size of the first edge region EA 1  may be smaller than a size of the first substrate  110 . In detail, an area of the first edge region EA 1  may be smaller than an area of the first substrate  110 . 
     In detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 5% or less of a total area of the first substrate  110 . In more detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 0.5% to 5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 . In more detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 1% to 3% of the total area of the first substrate  110 . 
     When the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  exceeds 5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 , a size of a bezel region increases, and thus a display region in which a viewing angle is changed in a display device in which the optical path control member is applied may be reduced. 
     In addition, when the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  is less than 0.5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 , the size of the first edge region becomes too small, so that the printed circuit board and the first electrode of the first edge region may not be easily connected, and poor contact may occur, thereby deteriorating visibility of the optical path control member. 
     In addition, a size of the second edge region EA 2  may be smaller than a size of the second substrate  120 . In detail, an area of the second edge region EA 2  may be smaller than an area of the second substrate  120 . 
     In detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 5% or less of a total area of the second substrate  120 . In more detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 0.5% to 5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 . In more detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 1% to 3% of the total area of the second substrate  120 . 
     When the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  exceeds 5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 , the size of the bezel region increases, and thus the display region in which the viewing angle is changed in the display device in which the optical path control member is applied may be reduced. 
     In addition, when the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  is less than 0.5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 , the size of the second edge region becomes too small, so that the printed circuit board and the second electrode of the second edge region may not be easily connected, and poor contact may occur, thereby deteriorating visibility of the optical path control member. 
     Meanwhile, the size of the first edge region EA 1  and the size of the second edge region EA 2  may be the same as or different from each other within the above range. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  8  and  9   , a printed circuit board  600  may be connected to each of the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2 . In detail, an anisotropic conductive layer  610  is disposed on the first connection portion CA 1  of the first electrode  210  of the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  of the second electrode  220  of the second edge region EA 2 , and a pad part  620  and the anisotropic conductive layer  610  of the printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other, so that the printed circuit board may be electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  10  and  11   , the light conversion part  300  may include a partition wall part  310 , and a reception part  320 . 
     The partition wall part  310  may be defined as a partition wall part dividing the reception part. That is, the partition wall part  310  may transmit light as a barrier region dividing a plurality of reception parts. In addition, the reception part  320  may be defined as a variable region where the reception part  320  is switched to a light blocking part and a light transmitting part according to application of a voltage. 
     The partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320  may be alternately disposed with each other. The partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320  may be disposed to have different widths. For example, a width of the partition wall part  310  may be greater than that of the reception part  320 . 
     The partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320  may be alternately disposed with each other. In detail, the partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320  may be alternately disposed with each other. That is, each of the partition wall parts  310  may be disposed between the reception parts  320  adjacent to each other, and each of the reception parts  320  may be disposed between the adjacent partition wall parts  310 . 
     The partition wall part  310  may include a transparent material. The partition wall part  310  may include a material that may transmit light. 
     The partition wall part  310  may include a resin material. For example, the partition wall part  310  may include a photo-curable resin material. As an example, the partition wall part  310  may include a UV resin or a transparent photoresist resin. Alternatively, the partition wall part  310  may include urethane resin or acrylic resin. 
     The partition wall part  310  may transmit light incident on any one of the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  toward another substrate. 
     For example, in  FIGS.  10  and  11   , light may be emitted from the first substrate  110  by a light source disposed under the first substrate  110 , and the light may be incident toward the second substrate  120 . In this case, the partition wall part  310  may transmit the light, and the transmitted light may move toward the second substrate  120 . 
     The reception part  320  may include the dispersion liquid  320   a  and the light conversion particles  320   b.  In detail, the reception part  320  may be filled by injecting the dispersion liquid  320   a.  A plurality of light conversion particles  320   b  may be dispersed in the dispersion liquid  320   a.    
     The dispersion liquid  320   a  may be a material for dispersing the light conversion particles  320   b.  The dispersion liquid  320   a  may include a transparent material. The dispersion liquid  320   a  may include a non-polar solvent. In addition, the dispersion liquid  320   a  may include a material capable of transmitting light. For example, the dispersion liquid  320   a  may include at least one of a halocarbon-based oil, a paraffin-based oil, and isopropyl alcohol. 
     The light conversion particles  320   b  may be disposed to be dispersed in the dispersion liquid  320   a.  In detail, the plurality of light conversion particles  320   b  may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the dispersion liquid  320   a.    
     The light conversion particles  320   b  may include a material capable of absorbing light. That is, the light conversion particles  320   b  may be light absorbing particles. The light conversion particles  320   b  may have a color. For example, the light conversion particles  320   b  may have a black-based color. As an example, the light conversion particles  320   b  may include carbon black. 
     The light conversion particles  320   b  may have a polarity by charging a surface thereof. For example, the surface of the light conversion particles  320   b  may be charged with a negative (−) charge. Accordingly, according to the application of the voltage, the light conversion particles  320   b  may move toward the first electrode  210  or the second electrode  220 . 
     The light transmittance of the reception part  320  may be changed by the light conversion particles  320   b.  In detail, the reception part  320  may be switched to the light blocking part and the light transmitting part by changing the light transmittance due to the movement of the light conversion particles  320   b.  That is, the reception part  320  may change the transmittance of light passing through the reception part  320  by dispersion and aggregation of the light conversion particles  320   b  disposed inside the dispersion liquid  320   a.    
     For example, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be converted from a first mode to a second mode or from the second mode to the first mode by a voltage applied to the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220 . 
     In detail, in the optical path control member according to the embodiment, the reception part  320  becomes the light blocking part in the first mode, and light of a specific angle may be blocked by the reception part  320 . That is, a viewing angle of the user viewing from the outside is narrowed, so that the optical path control member may be driven in a privacy mode. 
     In addition, in the optical path control member according to the embodiment, the reception part  320  becomes the light transmitting part in the second mode, and in the optical path control member according to the embodiment, light may be transmitted through both the partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320 . That is, the viewing angle of the user viewing from the outside may be widened, so that the optical path control member may be driven in a public mode. 
     Switching from the first mode to the second mode, that is, the conversion of the reception part  320  from the light blocking part to the light transmitting part may be realized by movement of the light conversion particles  320   b  of the reception part  320 . That is, the light conversion particles  320   b  may have a charge on the surface thereof and may move toward the first electrode or the second electrode according to the application of a voltage according to characteristics of the charge. That is, the light conversion particles  320   b  may be electrophoretic particles 
     In detail, the reception part  320  may be electrically connected to the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220 . 
     In this case, when a voltage is not applied to the optical path control member from the outside, the light conversion particles  320   b  of the reception part  320  are uniformly dispersed in the dispersion liquid  320   a,  and the reception part  320  may block light by the light conversion particles. Accordingly, in the first mode, the reception part  320  may be driven as the light blocking part. 
     Alternatively, when a voltage is applied to the optical path control member from the outside, the light conversion particles  320   b  may move. For example, the light conversion particles  320   b  may move toward one end or the other end of the reception part  320  by a voltage transmitted through the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220 . That is, the light conversion particles  320   b  may move from the reception part  320  toward the first electrode  210  or the second electrode  220 . 
     In detail, when a voltage is applied to the first electrode  210  and/or the second electrode  220 , an electric field is formed between the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220 , and the light conversion particles  320   b  charged with the negative charge may move toward a positive electrode of the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  using the dispersion liquid  320   a  as a medium. 
     That is, when the voltage is applied to the first electrode  210  and/or the second electrode  220 , as shown in  FIG.  10   , the light conversion particles  320   b  may move toward the first electrode  210  in the dispersion liquid  320   a.  That is, the light conversion particles  320   b  may move in one direction, and the reception part  320  may be driven as the light transmitting part. 
     Alternatively, when the voltage is not applied to the first electrode  210  and/or the second electrode  220 , as shown in  FIG.  11   , the light conversion particles  320   b  may be uniformly dispersed in the dispersion liquid  320   a  to drive the reception part  320  as the light blocking part. 
     Accordingly, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be driven in two modes according to a user&#39;s surrounding environment. That is, when the user requires light transmission only at a specific viewing angle, the reception part is driven as the light blocking part, or in an environment in which the user requires high brightness, a voltage may be applied to drive the reception part as the light transmitting part. 
     Therefore, since the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be implemented in two modes according to the user&#39;s requirement, the optical path control member may be applied regardless of the user&#39;s environment. 
     Meanwhile, referring to  FIG.  12   , the reception part  320  may be disposed to extend from one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In detail, the reception part  320  may extend to be inclined at a constant inclination angle θ with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. 
     Accordingly, one end and the other end of the reception part  300  may be disposed to be exposed to both a side surface in the first direction and a side surface in the second direction of the light conversion part  300 . 
     In detail, the reception part  320  may be disposed to extend in a fourth direction  4 A different from the first direction  1 A, the second direction  2 A, and the third direction  3 A. 
     In addition, a lower surface of the reception part  320  may extend to have an acute angle of inclination θ with respect to one side surface of the first substrate  110 . 
     That is, the lower surface of the reception part  320  may extend in the fourth direction  4 A and may extend to have the acute inclination angle θ with respect to one side surface of the first substrate  110 . 
     In detail, the reception part  320  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 15° or less with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the reception part  320  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 3° to 13° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the reception part  320  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 5° to 11° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. 
     When the reception part  320  is inclined at an angle of less than 3° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction, moire is generated by a pattern of the display panel coupled to the optical path control member and patterns of the reception part, thereby deteriorating visibility of the display device. 
     In addition, when the reception part  320  is inclined at an angle exceeding 15° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction, the bezel region is increased by an increase in a cutting angle in a process of cutting the optical path control member, so that a size of the display region in which the viewing angle is changed in the display device may be reduced. 
     In addition, both ends of the outermost side of the partition wall part  310  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 15° or less with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the partition wall part  310  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 3° to 13° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the partition wall part  310  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 5° to 11° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. 
     In addition, when the buffer layer is not disposed in the first edge region, both ends of the outermost side of the buffer layer  410  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 15° or less with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the buffer layer  410  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 3° to 13° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the buffer layer  410  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 5° to 11° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. 
     In addition, when the adhesive layer is not disposed in the second edge region, both ends of the outermost side of the adhesive layer  420  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 15° or less with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the adhesive layer  420  may extend to be inclined at an angle of 3° to 13° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. In more detail, the both ends of the outermost side of the adhesive layer  420  may extend to be inclined at an angle of ° to 11° with respect to the second direction while extending from the one end to the other end of the first substrate  110  extending in the first direction. 
     Meanwhile, the reception part may be disposed in a different shape in consideration of driving characteristics and the like. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  13  and  14   , in an optical path control member according to another embodiment, both ends of a reception part  320  may be disposed in contact with a buffer layer  410  and an adhesive layer  420  unlike  FIGS.  10  and  11   . 
     For example, a lower portion of the reception part  320  may be disposed in contact with the buffer layer  410 , and an upper portion of the reception part  320  may be disposed in contact with the adhesive layer  420 . 
     Accordingly, a distance between the reception part  320  and the first electrode  210  may be reduced, so that the voltage applied from the first electrode  210  may be smoothly transmitted to the reception part  320 . 
     Accordingly, a moving speed of the light conversion particles  320   b  inside the reception part  320  may be improved, and thus the driving characteristics of the optical path control member may be improved. 
     The optical path control member according to the first embodiment may reduce a size of a bezel region where the optical path control member and the printed circuit board are connected. 
     In detail, the first and second connection portions respectively connected to the first and second electrodes of the optical path control member may be respectively disposed in the first edge region of the first substrate and the second edge region of the second substrate, respectively. 
     Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a size of the region where the light conversion part is not disposed in the optical path control member. 
     That is, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may reduce a bezel region where the light conversion part that changes a viewing angle is not disposed. 
     In addition, since a size of the sealing part sealing the bezel region is reduced as the bezel region is reduced, when the optical path control member is combined with the display panel and applied to the display device, an effective region of a display is more increased, thereby reducing a size of a bezel region of the display device. 
     In addition, it is possible to prevent moire by disposing an extended shape of the reception part of the light conversion part of the optical path control member to be inclined in a predetermined angular range. 
     In detail, when the optical path control member is combined with the display panel and applied to the display device, a moire phenomenon, which is caused by overlapping the pattern of the display panel with the reception part, may be reduced by tilting and disposing the reception part in the predetermined angular range. 
     Accordingly, visibility of the display device may be improved. 
       FIGS.  15  and  16    are another cross-sectional views of the optical path control member according to the first embodiment. In detail,  FIGS.  15  and  16    are cross-sectional views of the optical path control member excluding the sealing part. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  15  and  16   , a light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  may have a higher height at an outer portion of the light conversion material than a central portion thereof. In detail, a height h 1  at the central portion of the light conversion material may be higher than a height h 2  at the outer portion thereof. 
     Here, the height h 1  at the central portion of the light conversion material is measured at the central portion of the light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  and may refer to a total height of the light conversion material. That is, the height h 1  at the central portion of the light conversion material may refer to a total thickness at the central portion of the light conversion material. Here, the height h 2  at the outer portion of the light conversion material may refer to a height difference between the central portion and the outer portion of the light conversion material. 
     When the height h 1  of the light conversion material measured at the central portion of the light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  is 70 μm, a difference between the height h 1  of the central portion of the light conversion material and the height h 2  of the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 15 μm or less. For example, when the height h 1  of the light conversion material measured at the central portion of the light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  is 70 μm, the difference between the height h 1  of the central portion of the light conversion material and the height h 2  of the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 10 μm or less. For example, when the height h 1  of the light conversion material measured at the central portion of the light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  is 70 μm, the difference between the height h 1  of the central portion of the light conversion material and the height h 2  of the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 5 μm or less. For example, when the height h 1  of the light conversion material measured at the central portion of the light conversion material positioned in the reception part  320  is 70 μm, the difference between the height h 1  of the central portion of the light conversion material and the height h 2  of the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 2 μm or less. Accordingly, the light conversion material according to the embodiment may have excellent filling efficiency and may not reduce front transmittance. 
     A ratio of the height of the light conversion material measured at the central portion of the light conversion material to a height between the central portion of the light conversion material and the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 35:1 or less. For example, a ratio of a height of a light conversion material  320 ′ measured from the central portion of the light conversion material to the height between the central portion of the light conversion material and the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 15:1 or less. For example, the ratio of the height of the light conversion material measured from the central portion of the light conversion material to the height between the central portion of the light conversion material and the outer portion of the light conversion material  320 ′ may be 7:1 or less. For example, the ratio of the height of the light conversion material measured from the central portion of the light conversion material to the height between the central portion of the light conversion material and the outer portion of the light conversion material may be 5:1 or less. Accordingly, the light conversion material of the embodiment may have excellent filling efficiency and may not reduce the front transmittance. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  15  and  16   , an adhesive layer  420  may be disposed between the light conversion part  300  and the second electrode  220 . The adhesive layer  420  may be disposed to surround an upper surface  310 T of the partition wall part  310  and an upper surface of the light conversion material. 
     The adhesive layer  420  may be positioned between the second electrode  220  positioned on the adhesive layer  420  and the partition wall part  310  and the light conversion material positioned under the adhesive layer  420 . 
     An upper surface of the adhesive layer  420  may have a shape different from that of a lower surface of the adhesive layer  420 . The upper surface of the adhesive layer  420  may surround the second electrode  220 . The shape of the upper surface of the adhesive layer  420  may be changed depending on a shape of the second electrode  220 . 
     The shape of the adhesive layer  420  may be changed by an external force applied in an adhesion process. Accordingly, the lower surface of the adhesive layer  420  may simultaneously surround an upper end of the light conversion material  320 ′ and an upper end of the partition wall part  310  that have a height difference. 
     For example, the lower surface of the adhesive layer  420  may include a first adhesive surface  420 B 1  in which the adhesive layer  420  and an inclined portion  312  are in contact and a second adhesive surface  420 B 2  in which the adhesive layer  420  and the light conversion material are in contact. Here, the first adhesive surface  420 B 1  may refer to a non-planar surface having a height difference between a central portion and an outer portion thereof. Here, the second adhesive surface  420 B 2  may refer to a non-planar surface having a height difference between a central portion and an outer portion thereof. 
     In the embodiment, since the upper surface  310 T of the partition wall part  310  has an inclined surface, an area in which the adhesive layer  420  contacts the upper surface of the partition wall part may increase. Accordingly, reliability of the optical path control member of the embodiment may be improved. 
     Hereinafter, an optical path control member according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to  FIGS.  17  to  24   . In the description of the optical path control member according to the second embodiment, descriptions of the same as or similar to those of the optical path control member according to the first embodiment described above will be omitted. In addition, in the description of the optical path control member according to the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar components as those of the optical path control member according to the first embodiment described above. 
     Referring to  FIG.  17   , the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be disposed to protrude with respect to the light conversion part  300 . 
     In detail, the first substrate  110  may be disposed to protrude in one direction of the first direction  1 A with respect to the light conversion part  300 , and the second substrate  120  may also be disposed to protrude in one direction of the first direction  1 A with respect to the light conversion part  300 . 
     That is, the first substrate  110  may include a first protrusion protruding in one direction in the first direction  1 A, and the second substrate  110  may include a second protrusion protruding in one direction in the first direction  1 A. 
     Accordingly, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be disposed to protrude in the same direction. That is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion may be disposed at positions overlapping each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Accordingly, the optical path control member  1000  may include a region where the first electrode  210  is exposed on the first substrate  110  and a region where the second electrode  220  is exposed under the second substrate  120 . 
     That is, the first electrode  210  disposed on the first substrate  110  may be exposed at the first protrusion, and the second electrode  220  disposed under the second substrate  120  may be exposed at the second protrusion. 
     The first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  exposed at the protrusions may be connected to an external printed circuit board through a connection portion that will be described below. 
       FIG.  18    is a view for describing the arrangement of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , and the light conversion part  300 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  18   , the light conversion part  300  may be disposed to partially expose the first electrode  210  disposed on the first substrate  110 . That is, a contact area between the first electrode  210  and the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than an area of the upper surface of the first electrode  210 . 
     For example, with respect to the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210  disposed an edge region of the first substrate  110  may be exposed. That is, a first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be defined as a region that is not in contact with the light conversion part  300 . That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be defined as a region where the light conversion part  300  is not disposed. That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may be a first connection portion of the first electrode connected to the printed circuit board. That is, the first edge region EA 1  of the first substrate  110  may include a region where the buffer layer  410  is not disposed. 
     That is, the first electrode  210  may be disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , and the first electrode  210  may include a connection portion CA 1  in which the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first edge region EA 1 . 
     The buffer layer  410  may not be disposed or may be partially disposed in the first edge region EA 1 . 
     That is, when the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as an entire region of the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . 
     In addition, when the buffer layer  410  is partially disposed in the first edge region EA 1 , the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as a partial region where the buffer layer  410  is not disposed in the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . 
     That is, the first connection portion CA 1  may be defined as a whole or a part of the first electrode  210  corresponding to the first edge region EA 1 . 
       FIG.  19    is a view for describing arrangement of the second substrate  120 , the first electrode  220 , and the light conversion part  300 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  19   , the light conversion part  300  may be disposed to partially expose the second electrode  220  under the second substrate  120 . That is, a contact area between the second electrode  220  and the light conversion part  300  may be smaller than an area of a lower surface of the second electrode  220 . 
     For example, based on the second substrate  120 , the second electrode  220  disposed on an edge region of the second substrate  120  may be exposed. That is, a second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be defined as a region that is not in contact with the light conversion part  300 . That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be defined as a region where the light conversion part  300  is not disposed. That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may be a second connection portion of the second electrode connected to the printed circuit board. That is, the second edge region EA 2  of the second substrate  120  may include a region where the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed. 
     That is, the second electrode  220  may be disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , and the second electrode  220  may include a second connection portion CA 2  in which the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second edge region EA 2 . 
     The adhesive layer  420  may not be disposed or may be partially disposed in the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, when the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as an entire region of the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . 
     In addition, when the adhesive layer  420  is partially disposed in the second edge region EA 2 , the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as a partial region where the adhesive layer  420  is not disposed in the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, the second connection portion CA 2  may be defined as a whole or a part of the second electrode  220  corresponding to the second edge region EA 2 . 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be formed in a polygonal shape. For example, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may have a triangular shape. In detail, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be formed in a triangular shape having two cut surfaces. 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may not overlap each other. That is, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA may overlap each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Accordingly, the first connection portion CA 1  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  disposed on the second edge region EA 2  may also overlap each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     The first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed in the same direction. In detail, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed in the same direction and may be disposed at a position overlapping each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     That is, the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  may be disposed in the same direction and may be disposed to face each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Accordingly, the first connection portion CA 1  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  disposed on the second edge region EA 2  may also be disposed at a position overlapping each other in the third direction  3 A 
     That is, the first connection portion CA 1  is disposed at one end of the first substrate in the first direction, and the second connection portion CA 2  is disposed at the other end of the second substrate in the first direction, so that the first connection portion CA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  may overlap each other in the third direction and may be disposed to face each other in the third direction  3 A. 
     Hereinafter, a position of a sealing part and a position of the light conversion part of the optical path control member according to the second embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to  FIGS.  20  to  24   . 
     Referring to  FIGS.  20  to  24   , a sealing part  500  may be disposed on an outer surface of the optical path control member. The sealing part  500  may be completely or partially disposed on side surfaces of the optical path control member in the first direction  1 A and side surfaces in the second direction  2 A. 
     In detail, the sealing part  500  may include a first sealing part  510 , a second sealing part  520 , and a third sealing part  530 . The first sealing part  510 , the second sealing part  520 , and the third sealing part  530  may be distinguished in accordance with positions disposed in the optical path control member. 
     Referring to  FIG.  21   , the first sealing part  510  may be disposed on the side surfaces of the optical path control member in the first direction  1 A facing each other. In detail, the first sealing part  510  may be disposed to extend along a lower surface of the first substrate  110 , side surfaces of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , the adhesive layer  420 , and the second electrode  220  in the first direction  1 A, and an upper surface of the second substrate  120 . 
     In addition, referring to  FIGS.  22  and  23   , the second sealing part  520  may be disposed on the side surfaces of the optical path control member in the second direction  2 A facing each other. In detail, the second sealing part  520  may be disposed to extend along the lower surface of the first substrate  110 , side surfaces of the first substrate  110 , the first electrode  210 , the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , the adhesive layer  420 , and the second electrode  220  in the second direction  2 A, and the upper surface of the second substrate  120 . 
     The first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may be disposed in contact with each other. In detail, at least one end of one end and the other end of the first sealing part  510  may be disposed in contact with the second sealing part  520 . Alternatively, the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other. 
     The first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may seal the reception part  320  exposed in the lateral direction of the light converting part  300 . In detail, the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520  may seal the reception part  320  exposed to the side surface in the first direction  1 A and the side surface in the second direction  2 A of the light conversion part  300 . 
     Accordingly, the reception part  320  may prevent penetration of external impurities such as moisture and oxygen by the first sealing part  510  and the second sealing part  520 . 
     In addition, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed on the first electrode  210  and under the second electrode  220 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  24   , the third sealing part  530  may be disposed on the first electrode  210  disposed on the first edge region EA 1  and may be disposed under the second electrode  220  disposed on the second edge region EA 2 . 
     That is, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed in contact with the upper surface of the first electrode  210 , the side surfaces of the buffer layer  410 , the light conversion part  300 , and the adhesive layer  420  in the second direction  2 A, and the lower surface of the second electrode  220  in the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2  overlapping each other. 
     The third sealing part  530  may be disposed to be spaced apart from the first sealing part  510 . In addition, the third sealing part  530  may be disposed to be spaced apart from the second sealing part  520 . 
     In this case, a width of the third sealing part  530  may be smaller than widths of the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2 . In detail, the width of the third sealing part  520  may be smaller than a long width of the first edge region EA 1  and a long width of the second edge region EA. 
     Accordingly, a first region where the third sealing part  530  is disposed and a second region where the third sealing part  530  is not disposed may be formed in the first connection portion CA 1  on the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  on the second edge region EA 2 , and the printed circuit board may be connected to the first electrode and the second electrode in the second region of the first connection portion CA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2 . 
     The third sealing part  530  may strengthen sealing in the lateral direction of the light conversion part  300 . In detail, the third sealing part  530  is disposed in contact with the partition wall part  310  that is the side surface of the light conversion part  300  in the second direction, and thus it is possible to prevent the inflow of impurities penetrating into the reception part through the partition wall part  310 . 
     That is, when manufacturing the optical path controlling member according to the second embodiment, a cutting process is performed in order to manufacture a plurality of optical path controlling members, and in such a cutting process, widths of the partition wall parts of the light conversion parts on both side surfaces of each optical path controlling member constant. In particular, during the cutting process, a specific optical path control member may have a partition wall part having a thin width, and accordingly, external impurities may penetrate into the reception part through the partition wall part. 
     Accordingly, in the optical path control member according to the second embodiment, by disposing the third sealing part on the side surface of the partition wall part in the second direction, it is possible to effectively prevent penetration of impurities due to the above reasons. 
     As described above, referring to  FIG.  22   , the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may include an edge region EA 1  and a second edge region EA 2  where the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  are exposed, respectively. 
     A size of the first edge region EA 1  may be smaller than a size of the first substrate  110 . In detail, an area of the first edge region EA 1  may be smaller than an area of the first substrate  110 . 
     In detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 5% or less of a total area of the first substrate  110 . In more detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 0.5% to 5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 . In more detail, the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  may be 1% to 3% of the total area of the first substrate  110 . 
     When the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  exceeds 5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 , a size of a bezel region increases, and thus a display region in which a viewing angle is changed in a display device in which the optical path control member is applied may be reduced. 
     In addition, when the size of the area of the first edge region EA 1  is less than 0.5% of the total area of the first substrate  110 , the size of the first edge region becomes too small, so that the printed circuit board and the first electrode of the first edge region may not be easily connected, and poor contact may occur, thereby deteriorating visibility of the optical path control member. 
     Meanwhile, the size of the first edge region EA 1  and the size of the second edge region EA 2  may be the same as or different from each other within the above range. 
     In addition, a size of the second edge region EA 2  may be smaller than a size of the second substrate  120 . In detail, an area of the second edge region EA 2  may be smaller than an area of the second substrate  120 . 
     In detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 5% or less of a total area of the second substrate  120 . In more detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 0.5% to 5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 . In more detail, the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  may be 1% to 3% of the total area of the second substrate  120 . 
     When the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  exceeds 5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 , the size of the bezel region increases, and thus the display region in which the viewing angle is changed in the display device in which the optical path control member is applied may be reduced. 
     In addition, when the size of the area of the second edge region EA 2  is less than 0.5% of the total area of the second substrate  120 , the size of the second edge region becomes too small, so that the printed circuit board and the second electrode of the second edge region may not be easily connected, and poor contact may occur, thereby deteriorating visibility of the optical path control member. 
     Referring to  FIG.  24   , a printed circuit board  600  may be connected to each of the first edge region EA 1  and the second edge region EA 2 . In detail, an anisotropic conductive layer  610  is disposed on the first connection portion CA 1  of the first electrode  210  of the first edge region EA 1  and the second connection portion CA 2  of the second electrode  220  of the second edge region EA 2 , and a pad part  620  and the anisotropic conductive layer  610  of the printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other, so that the printed circuit board may be electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode. 
     Meanwhile, since an extending direction of the reception part of the optical path control member according to the second embodiment is the same as an extending direction of the reception part of the optical path control member according to the first embodiment, the following description will be omitted. 
     In the optical path control member according to the second embodiment, the first connection portion of the first electrode and the second connection portion of the second electrode to which the printed circuit board is connected may be disposed in the same direction. 
     Accordingly, it is possible to connect the first connection portion and the second connection portion to a single printed circuit board, thereby simplifying a process of connecting the printed circuit board and the first and second electrodes and reducing a length of a wiring connected thereto. 
     Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an optical path control member according to an embodiment will be described with reference to  FIGS.  25  to  32   . 
     Referring to  FIG.  25   , a first substrate  110  and an electrode material for forming a first electrode are prepared. Then, the first electrode may be formed by coating or depositing the electrode material on one surface of the first substrate. In detail, the electrode material may be formed on the entire surface of the first substrate  110 . Accordingly, the first electrode  210  formed as a surface electrode may be formed on the first substrate  110 . 
     Subsequently, referring to  FIG.  26   , a resin layer  350  may be formed by coating a resin material on the first electrode  210 . In detail, the resin layer  350  may be formed by applying a urethane resin or an acrylic resin on the first electrode  210 . 
     In this case, before disposing the resin layer  350 , a buffer layer  410  may be additionally disposed on the first electrode  210 . In detail, by disposing the resin layer  350  on the buffer layer  410  after disposing the buffer layer  410  having good adhesion to the resin layer  350  on the first electrode  210 , it is possible to improve the adhesion of the resin layer  350 . 
     For example, the buffer layer  410  may include an organic material including a lipophilic group such as —CH—, an alkyl group, etc. having good adhesion to the electrode and a hydrophilic group such as —NH, —OH, —COOH, etc. having a good adhesion to the resin layer  410 . 
     The resin layer  350  may be disposed on a partial region of the first substrate  110 . That is, the resin layer  350  may be disposed in an area smaller than that of the first substrate  110 . Accordingly, a region where the resin layer  350  is not disposed and the first electrode  210  is exposed may be formed on the first substrate  110 . In addition, when the buffer layer  410  is disposed on the first electrode  210 , a region where the buffer layer  410  is exposed may be formed. 
     In detail, a size of a third length extending in the first direction of the resin layer  350  may be less than a size of a first length extending in the first direction of the first substrate  110 , and a size of a third width extending in the second direction may be less than or equal to a size of a first width extending in the second direction of the first substrate  110 . 
     That is, a length of the resin layer  350  may be smaller than a length of the first substrate  110 , and a width of the resin layer  350  may be equal to or smaller than a width of the first substrate  110 . 
     Subsequently, referring to  FIG.  27   , the resin layer  350  may be patterned to form a plurality of partition wall parts  310  and a plurality of reception parts  320  in the resin layer  350 . In detail, an engraved portion may be formed in the resin layer  350  to form an engrave-shaped reception part  320  and the emboss-shaped partition wall part  310  between the engraved portions. 
     Accordingly, a light conversion part  300  including the partition wall part  310  and the reception part  320  may be formed on the first substrate  110 . 
     In addition, the buffer layer  410  exposed on the first electrode  210  may be removed to expose the first electrode  210  in a region where the first substrate  110  protrudes. 
     Subsequently, referring to  FIG.  28   , a second electrode and an electrode material for forming a second substrate  120  and are prepared. Then, the second electrode may be formed by coating or depositing the electrode material on one surface of the second substrate. In detail, the electrode material may be formed on the entire surface of the second substrate  120 . Accordingly, the second electrode  220  formed as a surface electrode may be formed on the second substrate  120 . 
     A size of the second substrate  120  may be smaller than that of the first substrate  110 . In addition, the size of the second substrate  120  may be smaller than that of the resin layer  350 . 
     In detail, a size of a second length extending in a first direction of the second substrate  120  may be greater than the third length extending in the first direction of the resin layer  350 , and a size of a second width extending in a second direction of the second substrate  120  may be smaller than the size of the third width extending in the second direction of the resin layer  350 . 
     Subsequently, referring to  FIG.  29   , an adhesive layer  420  may be formed by coating an adhesive material on the second electrode  220 . In detail, a light-transmitting adhesive layer capable of transmitting light may be formed on the second electrode  220 . For example, the adhesive layer  420  may include an optical transparent adhesive layer OCA. 
     The adhesive layer  420  may be disposed on a partial region of the light conversion part  300 . That is, the adhesive layer  420  may be disposed in an area smaller than that of the light conversion part  300 . Accordingly, a region where the adhesive layer  410  is not disposed and the light conversion part  300  is exposed may be formed on the light conversion part  300 . 
     In detail, a size of a fourth length extending in a first direction of the adhesive layer  420  may be greater than a size of a third length extending in a first direction of the light conversion part  300 , and a size of a fourth width extending in a second direction of the adhesive layer  420  may be smaller than a size of a third width extending in a second direction of the light conversion part  300 . 
     Subsequently, referring to  FIG.  30   , the first substrate  110  and the second substrate  120  may be adhered. In detail, the second substrate  120  may be disposed on the light conversion part  300 , and the second substrate  120  and the light conversion part  300  may be adhered through the adhesive layer  420  disposed under the second substrate  120 . 
     Accordingly, the first substrate  110 , the light conversion part  300 , and the second substrate  120  may be sequentially stacked in the thickness direction of the first substrate  110 , the light conversion part  300 , and the second substrate  120 . 
     In this case, since the second substrate  120  is disposed in a size smaller than the size of the resin layer  350 , a plurality of partition wall parts  310  and reception parts  320  may be exposed in a region where the second substrate  120  is not disposed on the light conversion part  300 . 
     In detail, since the size of the second width extending in the second direction of the second substrate  120  is smaller than the size of the third width extending in the second direction of the resin layer  350 , the plurality of partition walls  310  and the reception part  320  may be exposed in an end region of at least one of one end and the other end facing in a width direction of the resin layer  350 . 
     Subsequently, a light conversion material may be injected between the partition wall parts  310 , that is, the reception parts  320 . In detail, a light conversion material in which light absorbing particles such as carbon black are dispersed in an electrolyte solvent including a paraffinic solvent and the like may be injected between the partition wall parts, that is, the reception parts  320 . 
     For example, after disposing a dam extending in a longitudinal direction of the light conversion part  300  on the reception part and the partition wall part of the light conversion part  300  on which the second substrate  120  is not disposed, the electrolyte solvent may be injected into the reception part  320  by a capillary injection method between the dam and a side surface of the light conversion part  300 . 
     Then, a portion of the light conversion part for injecting the light conversion material may be cut by cutting a dotted line portion of  FIG.  30   . 
     Then, the first substrate, the second substrate, and the light conversion part may be cut to manufacture the plurality of optical path control members. 
     In detail, referring to  FIGS.  31  and  32   , the first substrate, the second substrate, and the light conversion part may be cut in a quadrangular shape. 
     In detail, as shown in  FIG.  31   , after stacking the first substrate  110  having a first width w 1  and the second substrate  120  having a second width w 2  to be misaligned from each other, the first substrate, the second substrate, and the light conversion part may be cut in the quadrangular shape. 
     Alternatively, as shown in  FIG.  32   , after stacking the first substrate  110  having the first width w 1  and the second substrate  120  having the second width w 2  to overlap each other, the first substrate, the second substrate, and the light conversion part may be cut in the quadrangular shape. 
     In this case, the first substrate, the second substrate, and the light conversion part may be cut while having a predetermined angle θ 2 . 
     In detail, while having an angle of 15° or less with respect to one end of the optical path control member in the longitudinal direction, the optical path control member may be cut from one end in the longitudinal direction toward the other end. 
     In more detail, while having an angle of 3° to 13° with respect to one end of the optical path control member in the longitudinal direction, the optical path control member may be cut from one end in the longitudinal direction toward the other end. 
     In more detail, while having an angle of 5° to 11° with respect to one end in the longitudinal direction of the optical path control member, the optical path control member may be cut from one end in the longitudinal direction toward the other end. 
     When the θ 2  is at an angle of less than 3° with respect to one end of the optical path control member in the longitudinal direction, moire is generated by a pattern of the display panel coupled to the optical path control member and patterns of the reception part, thereby deteriorating visibility of the display device. 
     In addition, when the θ 2  exceeds an angle of 15° with respect to one end of the optical path control member in the longitudinal direction, the bezel region is increased by an increase in a cutting angle in a process of cutting the optical path control member, so that a size of the display region in which the viewing angle is changed in the display device may be reduced. 
     For example, when cutting as shown in  FIG.  29   , like the optical path control member according to the first embodiment described above, a plurality of optical path control members in which the first edge region and the second edge region face each other diagonally may be formed. 
     Alternatively, when cutting as shown in  FIG.  30   , like the optical path control member according to the second embodiment described above, a plurality of optical path control members in which the first edge region and the second edge region are disposed in the same direction and face each other in the third direction may be formed. 
     Then, by disposing the sealing part on the outer surface of the optical path control member as shown in  FIGS.  6  and  20   , a final optical path control member may be formed. 
     Hereinafter, referring to  FIGS.  33  to  37   , a display device to which an optical path control member according to an embodiment is applied will be described. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  33  and  34   , an optical path control member  1000  according to an embodiment may be disposed on or under a display panel  2000 . 
     The display panel  2000  and the optical path control member  1000  may be disposed to be adhered to each other. For example, the display panel  2000  and the optical path control member  1000  may be adhered to each other via an adhesive layer  1500 . The adhesive layer  1500  may be transparent. For example, the adhesive layer  1500  may include an adhesive or an adhesive layer including an optical transparent adhesive material. 
     The adhesive layer  1500  may include a release film. In detail, when adhering the optical path control member and the display panel, the optical path control member and the display panel may be adhered after the release film is removed. 
     Meanwhile, referring to  FIGS.  34  and  35   , one end or one end and the other end of the optical path control member may protrude, and the light conversion part may not be disposed at the protruding portion. The protrusion region is an electrode connection portion in which the first electrode  210  and the second electrode  220  are exposed, and may connect an external printed circuit board and the optical path control member through the electrode connection portion. 
     The display panel  2000  may include a first′ substrate  2100  and a second′ substrate  2200 . When the display panel  2000  is a liquid crystal display panel, the optical path control member may be formed under the liquid crystal panel. That is, when a surface viewed by the user in the liquid crystal panel is defined as an upper portion of the liquid crystal panel, the optical path control member may be disposed under the liquid crystal panel. The display panel  2000  may be formed in a structure in which the first′ substrate  2100  including a thin film transistor (TFT) and a pixel electrode and the second′ substrate  2200  including color filter layers are bonded to each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. 
     In addition, the display panel  2000  may be a liquid crystal display panel of a color filter on transistor (COT) structure in which a thin film transistor, a color filter, and a black electrolyte are formed at the first′ substrate  2100  and the second′ substrate  2200  is bonded to the first′ substrate  2100  with the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. That is, a thin film transistor may be formed on the first′ substrate  2100 , a protective film may be formed on the thin film transistor, and a color filter layer may be formed on the protective film. In addition, a pixel electrode in contact with the thin film transistor may be formed on the first′ substrate  2100 . At this point, in order to improve an aperture ratio and simplify a masking process, the black electrolyte may be omitted, and a common electrode may be formed to function as the black electrolyte. 
     In addition, when the display panel  2000  is the liquid crystal display panel, the display device may further include a backlight unit  3000  providing light from a rear surface of the display panel  2000 . 
     That is, as shown in  FIG.  33   , the optical path control member may be disposed under the liquid crystal panel and on the backlight unit  3000 , and the optical path control member may be disposed between the backlight unit  3000  and the display panel  2000 . 
     Alternatively, as shown in  FIG.  34   , when the display panel  2000  is an organic light emitting diode panel, the optical path control member may be formed on the organic light emitting diode panel. That is, when the surface viewed by the user in the organic light emitting diode panel is defined as an upper portion of the organic light emitting diode panel, the optical path control member may be disposed on the organic light emitting diode panel. The display panel  2000  may include a self-luminous element that does not require a separate light source. In the display panel  2000 , a thin film transistor may be formed on the first′ substrate  2100 , and an organic light emitting element in contact with the thin film transistor may be formed. The organic light emitting element may include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer formed between the anode and the cathode. In addition, the second′ substrate  2200  configured to function as an encapsulation substrate for encapsulation may be further included on the organic light emitting element. 
     That is, light emitted from the display panel  2000  or the backlight unit  3000  may move from the second substrate  120  toward the first substrate  110  of the optical path control member. 
     In addition, although not shown in drawings, a polarizing plate may be further disposed between the optical path control member  1000  and the display panel  2000 . The polarizing plate may be a linear polarizing plate or an external light reflection preventive polarizing plate. For example, when the display panel  2000  is a liquid crystal display panel, the polarizing plate may be the linear polarizing plate. Further, when the display panel  2000  is the organic light emitting diode panel, the polarizing plate may be the external light reflection preventing polarizing plate. 
     In addition, an additional functional layer  1300  such as an anti-reflection layer, an anti-glare, or the like may be further disposed on the optical path control member  1000 . Specifically, the functional layer  1300  may be adhered to one surface of the first substrate  110  of the optical path control member. Although not shown in drawings, the functional layer  1300  may be adhered to the first substrate  110  of the optical path control member via an adhesive layer. In addition, a release film for protecting the functional layer may be further disposed on the functional layer  1300 . 
     Further, a touch panel may be further disposed between the display panel and the optical path control member. 
     It is shown in the drawings that the optical path control member is disposed at an upper portion of the display panel, but the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the optical path control member may be disposed at various positions such as a position in which light is adjustable, that is, a lower portion of the display panel, or between a second substrate and a first substrate of the display panel, or the like. 
     In addition, it is shown in the drawings that the light conversion part of the optical path control member according to the embodiment is in a direction parallel or perpendicular to an outer surface of the second substrate, but the light conversion part is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle from the outer surface of the second substrate. Through this, a moire phenomenon occurring between the display panel and the optical path control member may be reduced. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  35  to  37   , an optical path control member according to an embodiment may be applied to various display devices. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  35  to  37   , the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be applied to a display device that displays a display. 
     For example, when power is applied to the optical path control member as shown in  FIG.  35   , the reception part functions as the light transmitting part, so that the display device may be driven in the public mode, and when power is not applied to the optical path control member as shown in  FIG.  36   , the reception part functions as the light blocking part, so that the display device may be driven in the light blocking mode. 
     Accordingly, a user may easily drive the display device in a privacy mode or a normal mode according to application of power. 
     Light emitted from the backlight unit or the self-luminous element may move from the first substrate toward the second substrate. Alternatively, the light emitted from the backlight unit or the self-luminous element may also move from the second substrate toward the first substrate. 
     In addition, referring to  FIG.  37   , the display device to which the optical path control member according to the embodiment is applied may also be applied inside a vehicle. 
     For example, the display device including the optical path control member according to the embodiment may display a video confirming information of the vehicle and a movement route of the vehicle. The display device may be disposed between a driver seat and a passenger seat of the vehicle. 
     In addition, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be applied to a dashboard that displays a speed, an engine, an alarm signal, and the like of the vehicle. 
     Further, the optical path control member according to the embodiment may be applied to a front glass (FG) of the vehicle or right and left window glasses.
