Backlight unit of liquid crystal display

Abstract

A backlight unit for enhancing brightness of a TFT-LCD device is disclosed. The backlight unit comprises a lamp and a light guide plate. The light guide plate has a top surface and one side. And the lamp is fastened to the side of the light guide plate for illumination. The light is multiple reflected in the light guide plate and emitted from the top surface of the light guide plate. The backlight unit further comprises an optical film and an adhesive layer, wherein the optical film is disposed on the light guide plate to spread the light uniformly, and the adhesive layer is applied to fill gaps between the light guide plate and the optical film. The adhesive layer has a refractive index equal to that of the light guide plate and the optical film for decreasing multiple reflections therebetween.
