Display apparatus
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel which displays images and includes a light incident surface;
a reflective sheet disposed overlapping the light incident surface of the display panel to reflect a light and including at least one light diffusion pattern disposed on an upper surface thereof facing the light incident surface of the display panel, wherein the light diffusion pattern diffusely reflects lateral light incident on the upper surface, to guide the lateral light toward the display panel;
a plate disposed between the reflective sheet and the display panel, and spaced apart from the reflective sheet by a predetermined distance, wherein the plate selectively reflects and transmits the light provided from the reflective sheet according to an incident angle of the light;
a light source unit disposed adjacent to at least one edge of the display panel in a plan view, wherein the light source unit generates the light and the light is emitted to a space between the plate and the reflective sheet; and
a supporter interposed between the reflective sheet and the plate to support the plate, wherein the supporter includes a hole passing through a body of the supporter substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the supporter,wherein the plate comprises a plurality of prisms disposed on a lower surface thereof facing the reflective sheet.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel which displays images, a light source unit which generates and emits a light, a reflective sheet disposed below the display panel, and a plate disposed between the reflective sheet and the display panel. The reflective sheet includes a light diffusion pattern provided on an upper surface thereof facing the display panel, which diffusely reflects the light, to guide the light provided from the light source unit toward the display panel. The plate is spaced apart from the reflective sheet by a predetermined distance and includes a plurality of prisms provided on a lower surface thereof facing the reflective sheet to selectively reflect and transmit the light, which is provided from both the light source unit and the reflective sheet, according to an incident angle of the light.
