Abstract

A backlight module including a back plate, a light guide plate, a light source, a plastic frame, and a light conversion layer is provided. The light guide plate is disposed on the back plate and has a light incident surface and a light exit surface, wherein a first edge of the light exit surface is adjacent to the light incident surface. The light source is disposed on the back plate and faces the light incident surface. The plastic frame is disposed on the back plate and covers the first edge. The light conversion layer is disposed on the light exit surface and extends to the first edge.

Claims (15)

1. A backlight module, comprising a back plate, a light guide plate, a light source, a plastic frame, a light conversion layer, and at least one first reflective layer, wherein:

the light guide plate is disposed on the back plate and has a light incident surface and a light exit surface, wherein a first edge of the light exit surface is adjacent to the light incident surface;

the light source is disposed on the back plate and faces the light incident surface;

the plastic frame is disposed on the back plate and covers the first edge;

the light conversion layer is disposed on the light exit surface and extends to the first edge;

the first reflective layer is close to the first edge, and is disposed between the light exit surface and the light conversion layer and extends to the first edge of the light guide plate; and

the light conversion layer comprises a main body portion, a peripheral portion, and a bent portion, wherein the bent portion is connected between the main body portion and the peripheral portion, the peripheral portion extends to the first edge of the light guide plate, the main body portion is in contact with the light exit surface, a gap exists between the peripheral portion and the light exit surface, and the first reflective layer is disposed between the peripheral portion and the light exit surface.

2. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is a blue light source, and the light conversion layer is a quantum dot enhanced film (QDEF).

3. The backlight module according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one second reflective layer, wherein the second reflective layer is close to the first reflective layer and is disposed between the main body portion and the plastic frame.

4. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the light conversion layer is protruded from the first edge towards the light source and is partially disposed outside the light guide plate.

5. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the light conversion layer is aligned with the first edge of the light guide plate.

6. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the light guide plate comprises a side surface, the side surface is opposite to the light incident surface and is adjacent to a second edge of the light exit surface, the plastic frame covers the second edge, and the light conversion layer extends to the second edge.

7. The backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein the light conversion layer is protruded from the second edge to the outside of the light guide plate.

8. The backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein the light conversion layer is aligned with the second edge of the light guide plate.

9. The backlight module according to claim 6 , further comprising at least one third reflective layer, wherein the third reflective layer is close to the second edge, and is disposed between the light conversion layer and the plastic frame and extends to the second edge of the light guide plate.
