Abstract

An improved back light module that the special design of light guide plate can prevent from the non-uniform of illumination. The module includes a light source; a reflector below the light source to reflect back the downward light rays for increasing the illumination of the back light module; and a light guide plate above said light source that a first portion of the bottom surface of said light guide plate, which is over said light source, is a plane and a second portion of the bottom/top surface of said light guide plate, which is not over said light source, has a plurality of regular bumps/recesses for focusing the light rays to increase the illumination, wherein said first portion and said second portion are arranged alternately in order.

Claims (34)

1. An improved back light module, comprising:

a light source;

a reflector below said light source to reflect back the downward light rays for increasing the illumination of said back light module; and

a light guide plate above said light source that a first portion of the bottom surface of said light guide plate, which is over said light source, is a plane and a second portion of the bottom surface of said light guide plate, which is not over said light source, has a plurality of regular bumps for focusing the light rays to increase the illumination, wherein said first portion and said second portion are arranged alternately in order.

2. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein said light source includes CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp).

3. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein said light source includes LED (light emitting diode).

4. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein the material of said light guide plate is PMMA.

5. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein the material of said light guide plate is plastic division.

6. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein said light guide plate has a plurality of TiO 2 diffusion grains whose total volume is between about 50%˜80% of said light guide plate.

7. The improved back light module according to claim 1 further comprising a diffusor sheet on said light guide plate.

8. The improved back light module according to claim 1 further comprising a prism sheet on said light guide plate.

9. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein said first portion further comprises a matted surface thereon.

10. The improved back light module according to claim 1 , wherein said first portion further comprises a shined surface thereon.

11. The improved back light module according to claim 10 , wherein said shined surface is a metal formed in sputtering way.

12. The improved back light module according to claim 11 , wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of silver and aluminum.

13. The improved back light module according to claim 10 , wherein said shined surface is a metal formed in vapor deposition way.

14. The improved back light module according to claim 13 , wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of silver and aluminum.

15. An improved back light module, comprising:

a light source;

a reflector below said light source to reflect back the downward light rays for increasing the illumination of said back light module; and

a light guide plate above said light source, wherein a first portion of the top surface of said light guide plate, which is over said light source, is a plane and a second portion of the top surface of said light guide plate, which is not over said light source, has a plurality of regular recesses for focusing the light rays to increase the illumination, while said first portion and said second portion are arranged alternately in order.

16. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein said light source includes CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp).

17. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein said light source includes LED (light emitting diode).

18. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein the material of said light guide plate is PMMA.

19. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein the material of said light guide plate is plastic division.

20. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein said light guide plate has a plurality of TiO 2 diffusion grains whose total volume is between about 50%˜80% of said light guide plate.

21. The improved back light module according to claim 15 further comprising a diffusor sheet on said light guide plate.

22. The improved back light module according to claim 15 further comprising a prism sheet on said light guide plate.

23. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein said first portion further comprises a matted surface thereon.

24. The improved back light module according to claim 15 , wherein said first portion further comprises a shined surface thereon.

25. The improved back light module according to claim 24 , wherein said shined surface is a metal formed in sputtering way.

26. The improved back light module according to claim 25 , wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of silver and aluminum.

27. The improved back light module according to claim 24 , wherein said shined surface is a metal formed in vapor deposition way.

28. The improved back light module according to claim 27 , wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of silver and aluminum.
