Abstract

A light source assembly includes a base plate, a light source secured on the base plate, a first reflection member, a second reflection member, and a diffusion plate. The first reflection member includes a base portion secured on the base plate and a plurality of protrusions with reflection surfaces inclined to the base plate. A through hole is defined on the base portion to receive the light source. Each protrusion protrudes from a side of the base portion away from the base plate and extends around the through hole. The second reflection member includes a reflection portion defining a plurality of light holes. The diffusion plate covers the second reflection member. Light emitting from the light source transmits to the light guide assembly via the reflection portion and the reflection surfaces.

Claims (36)

1. A light source assembly comprising:

a base plate;

a light source secured on the base plate; and

an encapsulation structure comprising:

a first reflection member comprising:

a base portion secured on the base plate and defining a through hole to receive the light source, and

a plurality of protrusions protruding from a side of the base portion away from the base plate and arranged around a periphery of the through hole, each protrusion comprising a reflection surface inclined to the base plate,

a second reflection member comprising:

a reflection portion defining a plurality of light holes, and

a plurality of connecting portions protruding from a circumference of the reflection portion and secured on the reflection surface of the protrusion adjacent to the through hole, and

a diffusion plate stacked on a side of the reflection portion away from the connecting portions;

wherein a plurality of grooves are defined on a side of the diffusion plate away from the reflection portion, and each groove corresponds with one light hole.

2. The light source assembly of claim 1 , wherein the reflection portion comprises a conic curved surface located on a side adjacent to the through hole and protruding toward the light source.

3. The light source assembly of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of light holes are evenly distributed on the conic curved surface.

4. The light source assembly of claim 1 , wherein each protrusion further comprises a connecting surface connected to the reflection surface, and each connecting surface interconnects with the two reflection surfaces of two adjacent protrusions.

5. The light source assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first reflection member and the second reflection member are made of metal or plastic with a highly reflective property.

6. The light source assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first reflection member and the second reflection member are integrated.

7. A backlight module comprising:

a frame;

a light guide assembly received in the frame; and

a plurality of light source assemblies received in the frame, located below the light guide assembly, and arranged in a matrix, each light source assembly comprising:

a base plate;

a light source secured on the base plate; and

an encapsulation structure comprising:

a first reflection member comprising:

a base portion secured on the base plate and defining a through hole to receive the light source, and

a plurality of protrusions protruding from a side of the base portion away from the base plate and arranged around a periphery of the through hole, each protrusion comprising a reflection surface inclined to the base plate,

a second reflection member comprising:

a reflection portion defining a plurality of light holes, and

a plurality of connecting portions protruding from a circumference of the reflection portion and secured on the reflection surface of the protrusion adjacent to the through hole, and

a diffusion plate stacked on a side of the reflection portion away from the connecting portions.

8. The backlight module of claim 7 , wherein the reflection portion comprises a conic curved surface located on a side adjacent to the through hole and protruding toward the light source.

9. The backlight module of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of light holes are evenly distributed on the conic curved surface.

10. The backlight module of claim 7 , wherein each protrusion further comprises a connecting surface connected to the reflection surface, and each connecting surface interconnects with the two reflection surfaces of two adjacent protrusions.

11. The backlight module of claim 7 , wherein a plurality of grooves are defined on a side of the diffusion plate away from the reflection portion, and each groove corresponds with one light hole.

12. The backlight module of claim 7 , wherein the light guide assembly comprises a first diffusion sheet, a prism sheet, a second diffusion sheet, and a diffusion plate stacked consecutively in order.
