7.3: Novel Structure of Carbon Nanotubes Backlight Unit

A novel structure of carbon nanotubes backlight unit (CNT-BLU) was introduced to improve the uniformity. From the calculation and experimental verification, large improvement on uniformity can be observed. Benefiting from these important results, the new planar backlight technology has chances to proceed to mass production and reduce the cost of optical films such as diffuser and/or brightness enhancement film. Based on the structure, the printed CNT-BLU has the potential to replace traditional backlight technology because of it's good properties like the simple processes, easy to large scale, low surface Temp and Hg-free…etc.
