Abstract

A backlight module including a light guide plate, a light conversion layer, a light source, and a reflecting surface is provided. The light guide plate has a light emitting surface, a back surface, a first side, and a second side. The light emitting surface is opposite to the back surface, and the first side and the second side are connected between the light emitting surface and the back surface. The light conversion layer is disposed on the light emitting surface. The light source is disposed at the first side. The reflecting surface is located at the second side. An included angle between the reflecting surface and an extending direction of the light emitting surface is an acute angle. A light beam emitted by the light source enters the light guide plate through the first side, and is reflected by the reflecting surface after being transmitted through the light guide plate.

Claims (13)

1. A backlight module, comprising:

a light guide plate, having a light emitting surface, a back surface, a first side, and a second side, wherein the light emitting surface is opposite to the back surface, the first side is connected between the light emitting surface and the back surface, and the second side is connected between the light emitting surface and the back surface;

a light conversion layer, disposed on the light emitting surface;

a light source, disposed at the first side; and

a reflecting surface, located at the second side, wherein an included angle between the reflecting surface and an extending direction of the light emitting surface is an acute angle, a light beam emitted by the light source enters the light guide plate through the first side, and is reflected by the reflecting surface after being transmitted through the light guide plate.

2. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a back plate, wherein the light guide plate and the light source are disposed on the back plate, the back plate has a retaining wall, the retaining wall has a plane, and the reflecting surface is the plane.

3. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a back plate and a reflecting layer, wherein the light guide plate and the light source are disposed on the back plate, the reflecting layer is disposed between the back surface of the light guide plate and the back plate and has an extending portion, the extending portion extends out from the second side of the light guide plate, the extending portion has a plane, and the reflecting surface is the plane.

4. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second side has a plane, an included angle between the plane and the light emitting surface is an acute angle, and the reflecting surface is the plane.

5. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light source is a blue light source, and the light conversion layer is a quantum dot enhanced film.

6. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light beam is reflected by the reflecting surface and is transmitted to the light conversion layer.

7. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a yellow film, wherein the light source is a blue light source, the yellow film is disposed between the reflecting surface and the second side, and the light beam reflected by the reflecting surface is transmitted to the yellow film.

8. The backlight module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the light conversion layer has an extending portion, the extending portion extends out of the light guide plate from the second side, and the yellow film is disposed at the extending portion.

9. The backlight module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the included angle between the reflecting surface and the light emitting surface is between 45 degrees and 60 degrees.
