An optical module includes a point light source device and an optical
lens. The point light source device generates light. The optical lens
includes an inner curved surface and an outer curved surface. The inner
curved surface has a first roughly ellipsoidal shape having a first major
axis and a first minor axis that is substantially perpendicular to the
first major axis. The outer curved surface has a second roughly
ellipsoidal shape having a second major axis that is substantially
perpendicular to the first axis and the second minor axis that is
substantially perpendicular to the second major axis. The light generated
by the point light source device enters the optical lens through the
inner curved surface and exits from the optical lens through the outer
curved surface. Therefore, the number of optical modules used in a
display device may be reduced to lower manufacturing cost thereof.
