Reflection type display apparatus

Abstract

A reflection type display apparatus has a front light unit (FLU), and includes a display panel, a light guide disposed on the upper surface of the display panel, a light transparent adhesive layer attaching the lower surface of the light guide to the upper surface of the display panel, and a light source located at a side of the light guide for emitting light to the light guide. A protection window covers the light guide and the light source. By covering the display panel installed on the lower surface of the protection window and the light guide with a moisture-proof and light-shield film, moisture-proofing and light-shielding effects are obtained simultaneously. Further, by forming a light absorption layer at the edge of the light guide adjacent to the light source, generation of a hot spot at the edge of the light guide may be inhibited.
