The present general inventive concept relates to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display having the same. More particularly, the present general inventive concept relates to a backlight unit to improve efficiency and reliability through an interconnection structure, which applies power to a printed circuit board on which a light emitting diode is mounted, and a liquid crystal display having the same.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) displays images using electrical and optical properties of liquid crystal. Since the LCD has advantages of slimness, lightweight, low power consumption, and low driving voltage as compared with other display apparatuses, the LCD has been extensively employed in various industrial fields.
The LCD includes a liquid crystal display panel, in which liquid crystal is interposed between two transparent substrates and voltage is usable with the liquid crystal to change a direction of liquid crystal molecules to optically display images, and a backlight assembly for providing light to the liquid crystal display panel.
A CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), an EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp), and an FFL (Flat Fluorescent Lamp) are used as light sources of the backlight assembly. However, the CCFL represents limitations in terms of high definition, light weight, slim structure and compact size, so an LED (Light Emitting Diode) has been recently used as the light source of the backlight assembly because the LED represents improved performance such as high brightness, long life span, and high color purity. In addition, as restriction on dumping of dangerous substances, such as mercury, have become widely enforced, the CCFL is less used, and the LED, which is an environmentally friendly device, is widely used instead of the CCFL.
A backlight unit provided with the LED includes a box-shape bottom chassis having an open upper surface to sequentially receive a reflection plate, the light guide plate, and optical sheets therein. In addition, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the printed circuit board are provided adjacent to a side of the light guide plate in the backlight unit.
The LEDs are connected to an inverter board, which is mounted on a rear surface of the bottom chassis, through a wire or an interconnection to receive drive voltage, so the LEDs emit light.
In general, the printed circuit board, on which the LEDs are mounted, is connected to the interconnection inside the bottom chassis, so extra space for such a connection is required. In addition, when the backlight assembly is coupled to the bottom chassis, short circuit or ground failure of the interconnection connected to the printed circuit board may occur. In this case, the backlight assembly needs to be separated from the bottom chassis and then connected to the bottom chassis again. Accordingly, the assembling work is complicated and the working time is increased.
The following two patent applications constitute prior art which is relevant to the present invention.
US2008/0297701 discloses a direct-type backlight for liquid crystal display comprising a printed circuit board on which light emitting diodes (LEDs) are mounted, a back cover and a driving printed circuit board. The back cover is arranged parallel to the main surface of the back cover. The back cover has an interconnection hole which allows a first connector, located on the printed circuit board and facing the main surface of the back cover, to mate with a second connector placed on a driving printed circuit which is located below the back cover.
US2008/0266905 discloses an edge-type backlight for liquid crystal display comprising a printed circuit board on which LEDs are mounted, a back cover having an interconnection hole formed in it, a driving printed circuit board and an interconnection linking the two printed circuit boards.
Accordingly, the present general inventive concept provides an edge type backlight unit according to claim 1, capable of improving assembling efficiency and reliability of the liquid crystal display, and a liquid crystal display having the same.
Additional features and/or advantages of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in the part of the description which follows.
Embodiments of the present general inventive concept are achieved by providing an edge type backlight unit according to claim 1.
As described above, according to the edge type backlight unit of claim 1 and a liquid crystal display having the same , the printed circuit board may be easily connected to the inverter board, and the interconnection may be prevented from being broken during assembling work, thereby reducing the assembling time. Accordingly, the productivity and reliability of the liquid crystal display can be improved.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a liquid crystal display according to another exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below to explain the present general inventive concept by referring to the figures
As illustrated in FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept includes a liquid crystal display panel 20 and a backlight unit 40 disposed at a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel 20.
The liquid crystal display panel 20 and the backlight unit 40 are accommodated between an upper cover 10 and a lower cover 80.
That is, the liquid crystal display panel 20 is mounted on a mold frame 30, and may be fixed on the backlight unit 40 by the upper cover 10, which is coupled to the backlight unit 40.
The upper cover 10 may be coupled to the lower cover 80 through a hook structure or a fastening member such as a screw.
The liquid crystal display panel 20 includes a thin film transistor substrate 21, on which a thin film transistor may bes formed, a color filter substrate 27 facing the thin film transistor substrate 21 and a liquid crystal layer (not illustrated) provided between the thin film transistor 21 and the color filter substrate 27.
A driver 22 is provided at a side of the thin film transistor substrate 21 to apply a driving signal. The driver 22 may include an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) 23, a driving chip 24 mounted on the FPC 23, and a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) 25 connected to one side of the FPC.
Although the driver 22 according to the exemplary embodiment is provided through a COF (Chip On Film) scheme, the disclosure is not limited thereto. According to another exemplary embodiment, the driver can be provided through a TCP (Tape Carrier Package) scheme or a COG (Chip On Glass) scheme, which are generally known in the art. In addition, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept, the driver 22 may be mounted on the thin film transistor substrate 21.
Such a liquid crystal display panel 20 forms an image by adjusting an alignment of the liquid crystal layer. However, the liquid crystal display panel 20 is a non-emissive device, so the liquid crystal display panel 20 requires light provided from the backlight unit 40 disposed at the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel 20.
The backlight unit 40 may include a plurality of optical films 50 disposed at the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel 20, and includes a light guide plate 60 disposed at a rear surface of the optical films 50, a light source unit 70 disposed along both opposite sides of the light guide plate 60, and a reflection plate 41 disposed below the light guide plate 60.
The optical films 50 disposed at the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel 20 may include a protection film 51, a prism film 53, and a diffusion film 55.
The diffusion film 55 may be provided with a base plate and a coating layer, which is formed on the base plate in a bead pattern such that light from the light source unit 70 can be diffused and then provided to the liquid crystal display panel 20.
The prism film 53 is provided at an upper surface thereof with triangular prisms regularly arranged such that light diffused by the diffusion film 55 is collected vertically to a plane of the liquid crystal display panel 20 disposed above the prism film 53. In general, two prism films 53 may be used, and micro prisms of each prism film 53 form a predetermined angle with each other. Most light passing through the prism film 53 travel vertically, thereby providing uniform light brightness.
The protection film 51 may be disposed on the prism film 53 to protect the prism film 53, which is sensitive to scratch or dust.
The light guide plate 60 includes acryl based resin, such as polymethylmethacrylate, or polymethylstyrene (copolymer of methylmethacrylate and stylene). The light guide plate 60 uniformly guides light from the light source unit 70 to the diffusion film 55.
The light source unit 70 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes 71 to generate light, a printed circuit board 73 on which the light emitting diodes 71 are mounted, and a first connector 74, which is formed at one side of the printed circuit board 73 and is connected to the light emitting diodes 71 to provide power to the light emitting diodes 71.
The light emitting diodes 71 may include a plurality of white light emitting diodes to emit white light, or may be provided in a combination of light emitting diodes to emit red light, green light, and blue light, respectively.
The printed circuit board 73 may be provided in the form of a metal PCB (Printed Circuit Board) including a silicon steel plate, a galvanized steel plate, or an aluminum disk which has superior thermal conductivity.
The printed circuit board 73 provides the driving signal to the light emitting diode 71 and emits heat generated from the light emitting diodes 71 to the outside.
Such a light source unit 70 is installed at a position adjacent to the side of the light guide plate 60 to radiate light to the side of the light emitting plate 60. The light introduced to the side of the light guide plate 60 is transferred to the optical films 50 mounted on the light guide plate 60.
Although the light source unit 70 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept may be disposed around the light guide plate 60 adjacent to sides of the light guide plate 60, the disclosure is not limited thereto. According to another exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept, the light source unit 70 may be disposed at one side of the light guide plate 60 or may be disposed at two opposite sides of the light guide plate 60.
The reflection plate 41 is disposed below the light guide plate 60 such that light directed downward through the light guide plate 60 is reflected to the light guide plate 60. A reflection plate slit 42 is formed in the reflection plate 41 at a position corresponding to a fixing protrusion 82 such that the fixing protrusion 82 is inserted into the slit 65, wherein the fixing protrusion 82 formed on the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80 to fix the reflection plate 41 to the lower cover 80.
The reflection plate 41 may include plastic such as PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) or PC (polycarbonate).
The light guide plate 60, light source unit 70, and reflection plate 41 are accommodated in the lower cover 80, which accommodates the mold frame 30 and is coupled to the upper cover 10.
Hereinafter, the light guide plate and the light source unit accommodated in the lower cover will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the liquid crystal display of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view schematically showing a rear surface of the lower cover of the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
Referring to FIG. 2, the light guide plate 60 accommodated in the lower cover 80 may be provided in a rectangular shape having a predetermined thickness and faces the light source unit 70. The light guide plate 60 includes an incident surface 61 to receive light emitted from the light source unit 70, an exit surface 63 to discharge light introduced through the incident surface 61, and a reflection surface (not illustrated) facing the exit surface 63.
The lower cover 80 may be provided in a box shape having an open upper part. Such a lower cover 80 includes a bottom surface 81, on which the light guide plate 60 is mounted, and a sidewall 85 extending upward from the edge of the bottom surface 81 such that the light guide plate 60 and the light source unit 70 are fixedly accommodated within the sidewall 85.
A fixing protrusion 82 is formed on the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80 to fix the light guide plate 60 to the lower cover 80. A slit 65 is formed in the light guide plate 60 at a position corresponding to the fixing protrusion 82 such that the fixing protrusion 82 is inserted into the slit 65. A1 illustrates the distance between slit 65 and the end of the side edge of the light guide plate 60 which slit 65 opens up thereto. A2 illustrates the distance between fixing protrusion 82 and an end of a side edge of the bottom surface of the lower cover 80.
Therefore, when the light guide plate 60 is accommodated in the lower cover 80, the fixing protrusion 82 is inserted into the slit 65, so the movement of the light guide plate 60 is restricted.
Meanwhile, a fixing member 83 to install the light source unit 70 is provided at a position spaced apart from the sidewall 85 of the lower cover 80 to fix the light source unit 70 provided at a position adjacent to the incident surface 61.
The fixing member 83 faces the incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 60, and may include metal having superior thermal conductivity. Thus, heat generated from the light emitting diode 71 is transferred to the lower cover 80 through the fixing member 83 and then is discharged to the outside.
In addition, the fixing member 83 may be formed by fixing an extrusion member including aluminum to the lower cover 80. Otherwise, the fixing member 83 may be integrally formed with the lower cover 80.
The printed circuit board 73 of the light source unit 70 may be fixed to the fixing member 83 through a fastening member such as a screw or an adhesion member. Therefore, the light emitting diode 71 mounted on the printed circuit board 73 emits light toward the incident surface 61 of the light guide plate 60.
Although the light source unit 70 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept is installed on the fixing member 83, the disclosure is not limited thereto. According to another exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept, the light source unit 70 may be installed on the sidewall 85 of the lower cover 80.
The first connector 74 provided in a socket type may be installed at one end of the printed circuit board 73 to provide power to the light emitting diode 71.
A coupling part 75 (see FIG. 4) of the first connector 74 is directed to the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80. An interconnection coupling hole 84 is formed in the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80 at a position corresponding to the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74. The coupling part 75 refers to a part at which the first connector 74 is coupled to a second connector 92, which will be described later. That is, the coupling part 75 is directed in a second direction crossing a first direction parallel with the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80. The second direction crossing the first direction is perpendicular to the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80.
Referring to FIG. 3, a power unit 300 is mounted on to the lower cover 80. The power unit 300 includes an inverter board 90, a second connector 92, an interconnection 91, and a second connector 92. The inverter board 90 and a PCB may be installed on the rear surface 86 of the lower cover 80. The inverter board 90 transforms external power such that the external power has a predetermined voltage level and then provides the transformed power to the light emitting diode 71. The PCB may convert an analog data signal into a digital data signal and provides the digital data signal to the liquid crystal display panel 20.
The inverter board 90 is connected to the light source unit 70 through an interconnection 91. The second connector 92 provided in a plug type may be installed at both ends of the interconnection 91.
Thus, one end of the interconnection 91 is connected to a connector mounted on the inverter board 90 and the remaining end of the interconnection 91 is connected to the socket type first connector 74 provided on the printed circuit board 73 through the interconnection coupling hole 84.
In general, the connectors 74 and 92 are connected to each other to provide electric connection. The plug type second connector 92 has a coupling protrusion, and the socket type first connector 74 has a coupling groove into which the coupling protrusion is inserted. Accordingly, if the coupling protrusion of the second connector 92 is inserted into the coupling groove of the first connector 74, the interconnection is electrically connected.
Although the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept has been described wherein the socket type first connector 74 is installed on the printed circuit board 73 and the plug type second connector 73 is installed at the end of the interconnection 91, this description is for illustrative purposes only. According to another exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept, a plug type first connector may be installed on the printed circuit board 73 and a socket type second connector may be installed at the end of the interconnection 91.
In addition, the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74 installed on the printed circuit board 73 may be provided inside the lower cover 80. Otherwise, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74 may protrude out of the rear surface 86 of the lower cover 80.
Hereinafter, the assembling structure and operation of the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
First, the light source unit 70 is fixed to the fixing member 83 provided in the lower cover 80. In a state that the light source unit 70 is fixed to the fixing member 83, the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74 installed at the end of the printed circuit board 73 faces the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80, and the interconnection coupling hole 84 of the lower cover 80 is provided at a position corresponding to the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74.
After that, the backlight unit 40 is accommodated in a space formed in the sidewall 85 of the lower cover 80. In detail, the reflection plate 41 is mounted on the bottom surface 81 of the lower cover 80, the light guide plate 60 is mounted on an upper surface of the reflection plate 41, and the optical films 50 are mounted on the upper surface of the light guide plate 60.
The mold frame 30 is mounted on the backlight unit 40. The mold frame 30 is coupled to the lower cover 80 while supporting the edge of the light source unit 70, the light guide plate 60 and the optical films 50. Accordingly, the movement of the backlight unit 40 is restricted. The liquid crystal display panel 20 is mounted on the mold frame 30. As the upper cover 10, which surrounds the edge of the upper surface of the liquid crystal display panel 20, is coupled to the sidewall 85 of the lower cover 80, the liquid crystal display panel 20 is fixed above the backlight unit 40.
After the liquid crystal display has been assembled, the plug type second connector 92, which may be formed at the end of the interconnection 91 connected to the inverter board 90, passes through the interconnection coupling hole 84 and then is coupled to the socket type first connector 92 installed on the printed circuit board 73.
Accordingly, the light source unit 70 is electrically connected to the inverter board 90 through the interconnection 91, so driving voltage may be transferred from the inverter board 90 to the light emitting diode 71.
Therefore, the interconnection 91, which is provided to connect the printed circuit board 73 having the light emitting diode 73 to the inverter board 90, passes through the interconnection coupling hole 84 and then is coupled to the inverter board 90 along the rear surface of the lower cover 80. As a result, the first and second connectors 74 and 92 may be prevented from being separated from each other when the liquid crystal display is assembled, so reliability of the liquid crystal display can be improved and the assembling process can be effectively performed.
In addition, the first connector 74 provided at one side of the printed circuit board 73 may be connected to the interconnection 91 at the rear surface 86 of the lower cover 80, so an additional space to connect the interconnection is not required inside the lower cover 80.
Further, as illustrated in FIG. 5, if the coupling part 75 of the first connector 74 protrudes from the rear surface 86 of the lower cover 80, the first connector 74 can be more easily connected to the second connector 92.
Although few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been illustrated and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the claims.
