Abstract
A backlight unit and a display device including the same are disclosed. More specifically, a backlight unit is disclosed that includes a plurality of light sources disposed on a glass substrate and disposed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and first and second transistors disposed on the glass substrate and spaced apart from each other, wherein each of the first transistor and the second transistor is disposed so as not to overlap the plurality of light sources disposed at points where two rows and two columns cross each other. Thus, image quality is excellent.
Claims18
A backlight unit comprising:
- a glass substrate;
- a plurality of pad electrodes on the glass substrate;
- a plurality of light sources arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns on the glass substrate;
- and
- a first transistor and a second transistor on the glass substrate, the first transistor and the second transistor spaced apart from each other, wherein each of the first transistor and the second transistor is non-overlapping with the plurality of light sources at points where two rows and two columns cross each other,
- wherein each of the plurality of light sources is on a pair of pad electrodes, the pair of pad electrodes including a first pad electrode and a second pad electrode that is spaced apart from the first pad electrode and point-symmetrically located with the first pad electrode,
- wherein a pair of repair patterns are disposed on the glass substrate and disposed adjacent to the pair of pad electrodes, the pair of repair patterns including a first repair pattern that is adjacent to the first pad electrode and a second repair pattern that is adjacent to the second pad electrode, the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern are spaced apart from each other and point-symmetrically located,
- wherein a reference point at which the first pad electrode and the second pad electrode are point-symmetrically located and a reference point at which the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern are point-symmetrically located correspond to each other, and
- wherein central axes of light sources on the first pad electrode and the second pad electrode among the plurality of light sources are a same as central axes of light sources on the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern among the plurality of light sources.
A display device comprising:
- a substrate of a backlight unit;
- at least a pair of pad electrodes on the substrate of the backlight unit;
- a light source on the at least the pair of pad electrodes;
- a color conversion sheet on the light source;
- and
- a display panel on the color conversion sheet, wherein a pair of repair patterns are adjacent to the at least the pair of pad electrodes, wherein the at least the pair of pad electrodes include a first pad electrode and a second pad electrode that is spaced apart from the first pad electrode and point-symmetrically located with the first pad electrode,
- wherein the pair of repair patterns include a first repair pattern that is adjacent to the first pad electrode and a second repair pattern that is adjacent to the second pad electrode,
- wherein the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern are spaced apart from each other and point-symmetrically located,
- wherein a reference point at which the first pad electrode and the second pad electrode are point-symmetrically located and a reference point at which the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern are point-symmetrically located correspond to each other, and
- wherein central axes of light sources on the first pad electrode and the second pad electrode are a same as central axes of the light sources on the first repair pattern and the second repair pattern.
