Abstract

Light directional diffusing elements such as hologram elements are formed on the upper surface or lower surface of a light guide plate near the light source, and dots are formed of multiple small protrusions or small depressions on the light guide plate upper or lower surface to change the direction the light transmits from the input surface of the upper surface of light guide plate to a specified angle to irradiate towards a display element, to obtain a liquid crystal display technology for an easy to assemble backlit lighting device with greater brightness and fewer dark spots.
