Abstract

A light source structure of a backlight module comprises: a bar-shaped light source; and a group of complementary color light emitting diodes mounted at both ends of the bar-shaped light source. The bar-shaped light source is composed of several light emitting diodes having complementary light colors. The luminous intensity of outermost light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source is 30 to 70% of average luminous intensity of the other equal color light emitting diodes. The complementary color light emitting diodes have light colors complementary to that of the outermost light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source. The luminous intensity of the complementary color light emitting diodes is 10 to 50% of average luminous intensity of the other equal color light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source. Consequently, the non-uniform mixing of lights on edges of the backlight module and the producing of bright point can be avoided.

Claims (5)

1. A light source structure of a backlight module comprising:

a bar-shaped light source, the bar-shaped light source being composed of a plurality of light emitting diodes having light colors complementary to one another, the plurality of light emitting diodes comprising:

a plurality of inner light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source in sequential order, wherein the plurality of inner light emitting diodes comprise at least five light emitting diodes including at least one red light emitting diode, at least one blue light emitting diode, and at least one green light emitting diode, the inner light emitting diodes being sequentially ordered to emit a white light from the module; and

a group of complementary color light emitting diodes mounted at both ends of the bar-shaped light source, the complementary color light emitting diodes having light colors both different from and complementary to that of an adjacent, outermost light emitting diode of the inner light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source,

wherein the luminous intensity of each of the outermost light emitting diodes of the bar-shaped light source is 30 to 70% of average luminous intensity of at least one inner light emitting diode of equal color, and the luminous intensity of each of the complementary color light emitting diodes is 10 to 50% of average luminous intensity of at least inner light emitting diode of equal color, whereby the non-uniform mixing of lights and the producing of bright point are substantially prevented.
