35. A display device, comprising:
-
a display module; and a backlight unit which provides a light having a coherent property to the display module, the backlight unit comprising; a light source which generates a first light having the coherent property and a point-like cross-section; a beam splitter array, which is disposed adjacent to the light source, converts the first light provided from the light source to a second light having a linear cross-section, and comprises a plurality of transflective plates; and a light conversion structure, which is disposed below the display module and converts the second light provided from the beam splitter array to a third light having a planar cross-section, wherein the plurality of transflective plates is arranged parallel to a propagation direction of the first light and reflects at least a part of the first light in a direction toward the light conversion structure.

36. A backlight unit, comprising:
-
a light source which generates a light having a coherent property; a light guide plate which guides a propagating direction of light incident thereto to an upward direction; and a beam splitter array disposed between the light source and the light guide plate, the beam splitter array comprising a plurality of transflective plates, wherein each of the plurality of transflective plates reflects a part of the light provided from the light source toward the light guide plate and passes another part of the light to be incident into another adjacent one of the plurality of transflective plates.
