Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer made of liquid crystals injected between the first and the second substrates, and a backlight assembly arranged on an outer surface of the first substrate. The first substrate has a light guiding pattern containing a periodic structure formed from a medium whose refractive index is different from the refractive index of the first substrate. The light guiding pattern is operative to internally reflect light from the backlight assembly to a transmission region.
