Abstract

A back light module including a back plate, a light source and a bar lens is disclosed. The bar lens includes a top and a bottom center transparent surfaces, a right and a left top total internal reflection surfaces, a right and a left first emitting surfaces, a right and a left second emitting surfaces, a right and a left bottom total internal reflection surfaces and a right and a left bottom incident surfaces. The center bottom transparent surface is located between the top center transparent surface and the light source. The connecting sequence along the right of bar lens from top center transparent surface is the right top total internal reflection surface, the right first emitting surface, the right second emitting surface, right bottom total internal reflection surface, the right incident surface and the center bottom transparent surface. The connecting sequence on the left is similar to the right.

Claims (33)

1. A back light module, comprising:

a back plate;

a light source, disposed on the back plate;

a lens, disposed on the back plate and covering the light source, wherein the bar lens comprises:

a top center transparent surface, disposed above the light source;

a right top total internal reflection surface, connected to the top center transparent surface, wherein a first angle is formed between the right top total internal reflection surface and the back plate;

a right first emitting surface, connected to the right top total internal reflection surface, wherein a second angle is formed between the right first emitting surface and the back plate;

a right second emitting surface, connected to the right first emitting surface, wherein a third angle is formed between the right second emitting surface and the back plate;

a right bottom total internal reflection surface, connected to the right second emitting surface, wherein a fourth angle is formed between the right bottom total internal reflection surface and the back plate;

a right incident surface, connected to the right bottom total internal reflection surface, wherein a fifth angle is formed between the right incident surface and the back plate;

a left top total internal reflection surface, connected to the top center transparent surface, wherein a sixth angle is formed between the left top total internal reflection surface and the back plate;

a left first emitting surface, located on the left of the left top total internal reflection surface, and connected to the left top total internal reflection surface, wherein a seventh angle is formed between the left first emitting surface and the back plate;

a left second emitting surface, connected to the left first emitting surface, wherein an eighth angle is formed between the left second emitting surface and the back plate;

a left bottom total internal reflection surface, connected to the left second emitting surface, wherein a ninth angle is formed between the left bottom total internal reflection surface and the back plate;

a left incident surface, connected to the left bottom total internal reflection surface, wherein a tenth angle is formed between the left incident surface and the back plate; and

a center bottom transparent surface, connected to the left incident surface and the right incident surface, and located between the top center transparent surface and the light source.

2. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first angle is between 70 and 80 degrees.

3. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second angle is between 30 and 40 degrees.

4. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third angle is between 40 and 70 degrees.

5. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fourth angle is between 30 and 40 degrees.

6. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fifth angle is between 40 and 70 degrees.

7. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sixth angle is between 70 and 80 degrees.

8. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seventh angle is between 30 and 40 degrees.

9. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the eighth angle is between 40 and 70 degrees.

10. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ninth angle is between 30 and 40 degrees.

11. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tenth angle is between 40 and 70 degrees.

12. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lens is a bar lens.

13. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lens further has a right connecting surface connected to the right incident surface and the right bottom total internal reflection surface.

14. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lens further has a left connecting surface connected to the left incident surface and the left bottom total internal reflection surface.

15. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the lens comprises glass.

16. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the lens comprises plastic.

17. The back light module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an optical film, wherein the lens is located under the optical film to support the optical film.

18. The back light module as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the optical film comprises a diffuser sheet or a prism sheet.
