Plane light source structure for planar display
View Patent ↗A plane light source structure for planar display includes a light guide plate and a light source. Material of the light guide plate is transparent plastic. The light guide plate is regarded as the lower plate of LCD panel when it is used as back light. On the other hand, the light guide plate is regarded as the upper plate of LCD panel when it is used as front light.
1. A plane light source structure for a planar display device, comprising:
a first light source;
a first transparent plastic light guide plate with a light-emitting surface, wherein a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) are formed in physical contact with said light-emitting surface, and said first light guide plate serves as a substrate of said planar display device; and
a polarizing plate located between said first light source and said first light guide plate.
2. The plane light source structure according to claim 1 , wherein said planar display device is a first liquid crystal display device.
3. The plane light source structure according to claim 2 further comprising a second liquid crystal display using said first transparent plastic light guide plate as a lower substrate, wherein said second liquid crystal display device is opposite to said first liquid crystal display device by said first transparent plastic light guide plate to form a dual display device.
4. The plane light source structure according to claim 3 further comprising a second light guide plate serving as front light source of said second liquid crystal display, and a second light source located at one end surface of said second light guide plate.
5. The plane light source structure according to claim 2 further comprising a retardation film located between said first transparent plastic light guide plate and said polarizing plate.
6. The plane light source structure according to claim 2 , wherein said first transparent plastic light guide plate is an upper substrate of said liquid crystal display device when said first transparent plastic light guide plate serves as front light source of said liquid crystal display device.
7. The plane light source structure according to claim 6 , wherein said first transparent plastic light guide plate includes a plate and a plurality of slanted portions (V-cuts) made by an ultraviolet curable resin on said plate.
8. The plane light source structure according to claim 6 further comprising:
a second liquid crystal display, utilizing said first transparent plastic light guide plate to serve as a lower substrate of said second liquid crystal display device;
a second light guide plate as front light source of said second liquid crystal display device; and
a second light source located at one end surface of said second light guide plate, wherein said second liquid crystal display device is opposite to said first liquid crystal display device by said lower substrate to form a dual display device.
9. A plane light source structure for a liquid crystal display panel, comprising:
a first light source;
a transparent plastic light guide plate with a light-emitting surface;
a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) in physical contact with said transparent plastic light guide plate; and
a first polarizing plate located between said first light source and said transparent plastic light guide plate.
10. The plane light source structure according to claim 9 further comprising a second light source located at the other end surface of said transparent plastic light guide plate, and a second polarizing plate located between said second light source and said transparent plastic light guide plate.
11. The plane light source structure according to claim 9 , wherein said transparent plastic light guide plate serves as a substrate of said planar display device.
