Abstract

A light emitting module includes a transparent substrate, a plurality of first light emitting components, a light guide plate and a plurality of second light emitting components. The transparent substrate includes a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other. The plurality of first light emitting components are arranged in an array on the first surface. The light guide plate is disposed on the second surface. The plurality of second light emitting components are disposed on the second surface and face the light incident side surface of the light guide plate.

Claims (24)

1 . A light emitting module, comprising:

a transparent substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other;

a plurality of first light emitting components arranged in an array on the first surface;

a light guide plate disposed on the second surface; and

a plurality of second light emitting components directly mounted on the second surface of the transparent substrate and facing a light incident side surface of the light guide plate, wherein when viewed from a top view, a footprint of the plurality of first light emitting components overlaps a footprint of the light guide plate.

2 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when viewed from a top view, a footprint of the plurality of first light emitting components are located within a footprint of the light guide plate.

3 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light guide plate comprises a plurality of light emitting microstructures distributed over a lower surface of the light guide plate.

4 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second light emitting components are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the light guide plate.

5 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second light emitting components are respectively disposed at a plurality of corners of the light guide plate.

6 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a reflection sheet disposed on a lower surface of the light guide plate.

7 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent substrate is a flexible transparent substrate.

8 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a driver chip coupled to the plurality of first light emitting components and the plurality of second light emitting components.

9 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the transparent substrate comprises an active portion and a connecting portion, the plurality of first light emitting components, the plurality of second light emitting components and the light guide plate are all disposed at the active portion, and the connecting portion is connected to the active portion and coupled to the driver chip.

10 . The light emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first light emitting components comprise a plurality of mini light emitting diodes (mini LEDs) or a plurality of micro LEDs, and the plurality of second light emitting components include a plurality of LEDs.

11 . A light emitting module, comprising:

a transparent substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other;

a plurality of first light emitting components arranged in an array on the first surface;

a light guide plate disposed on the second surface; and

a plurality of second light emitting components directly mounted on the second surface of the transparent substrate and facing a light incident side surface of the light guide plate, wherein the transparent substrate is an integral transparent substrate having a light transmittance of at least greater than 60%, wherein when viewed from a top view, a footprint of the plurality of first light emitting components overlaps a footprint of the light guide plate.

12 . A light emitting module, comprising:

a transparent substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the transparent substrate is a flexible transparent substrate and comprising an active portion and a connecting portion extended from the active portion and connecting a driver chip;

a plurality of first light emitting components arranged in an array on the first surface of the active portion;

a light guide plate disposed on the second surface; and

a plurality of second light emitting components disposed on the second surface of the transparent substrate and facing a light incident side surface of the light guide plate.
