Abstract

A light module with LED light source for LCD panel. Light-receiving surfaces of LGP (light guide plate), light-receiving surfaces of LGS (light guide stick) or light-emitting surfaces of LGS are coated with the mixed fluorescent powder and the white light with triple wavelength is made by the light rays emitted from UV LED to excite the mixed fluorescent powders. It could replace the white light LED with double wavelength of Nichia to reduce the production cost and increase the color performance of LCD.

Claims (27)

1. A front light module for LCD panel, comprising:

a light source;

a light guide stick (LGS) with at least a surface coated with mixed fluorescent powders for receiving the light rays emitted from said light source, wherein a white light is formed when said light rays excite said mixed fluorescent powders; and

a light guide plate (LGP) for receiving said white light emitted from said light guide stick.

2. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein said light source is a LED.

3. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein said LED is an UV LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

4. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein said LED is an violet light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

5. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein said LED is a blue light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RG fluorescent powders.

6. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein said surface is one of the light-receiving surfaces of said LGS.

7. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein said surface is one of the light-emitting surfaces of said LGS.

8. A front light module for LCD panel, comprising:

a light source;

a light guide stick (LGS) for receiving the light rays emitted from said light source; and

a light guide plate (LGP) with at least a surface coated with a mixed fluorescent powders for receiving the light rays emitted from said light guide stick, wherein a white light is formed when said light rays excite said mixed fluorescent powders.

9. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 8 , wherein said light source is a LED.

10. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 9 , wherein said LED is an UV LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

11. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 9 , wherein said LED is a violet light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

12. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 9 , wherein said LED is a blue light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RG fluorescent powders.

13. The front light module for LCD panel according to claim 9 , wherein said surface is one of the light-emitting surfaces of said LGP.

14. A rear light module for LCD panel, comprising:

a light source; and

a light guide plate (LGP) with at least a surface coated with a mixed fluorescent powders for receiving the light rays emitted from said light source, wherein a white light is formed when said light rays excite said mixed fluorescent powders.

15. The rear light module for LCD panel according to claim 14 , wherein said light source is a LED.

16. The rear light module for LCD panel according to claim 15 , wherein said LED is an UV LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

17. The rear light module for LCD panel according to claim 15 , wherein said LED is a violet light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RGB fluorescent powders.

18. The rear light module for LCD panel according to claim 15 , wherein said LED is a blue light LED and said mixed fluorescent powders includes the RG fluorescent powders.

19. The rear light module for LCD panel according to claim 15 , wherein said surface is one of the light-receiving surfaces of said LGP.
