Abstract
A display apparatus includes a curved display panel having a first curvature; and a plurality of light source units arranged along the first curvature the display panel. Each light source unit includes a reflective part including a reflective upper surface which has a second curvature different from the first curvature of the display panel; and a light source part which is at a first side of the reflective part, and includes a light source which generates and provides a light to the reflective surface.
Claims20
A display apparatus comprising:
- a curved display panel having a first curvature;
- and
- a plurality of light source units arranged along the first curvature of the display panel, each light source unit comprising:
- a reflective part comprising a reflective upper surface which faces the display panel and has a second curvature different from the first curvature of the display panel;
- and
- a light source part which is at a first side of the reflective part, which generates and provides a light to the reflective surface.
A backlight unit of a display apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of light source units which generates and provides light to a curved display panel of the display apparatus, the curved display panel having a first curvature,
- wherein each light source unit of the backlight unit comprises:
- a reflective part comprising a curved reflective surface facing the curved display panel and having a second curvature different from the first curvature of the curved display panel;
- and
- a light source part which is at a side of the reflective part, and generates the light and provides the generated light to the curved reflective surface facing the curved display panel,
- wherein for an imaginary curve parallel to the first curvature of the curved display panel, a portion of the reflective surface of each light source unit is tangent to the imaginary curve parallel to the first curvature of the display panel.
