Abstract

A manufacturing method of a light guide plate. A transparent plate is provided, wherein a surface of the transparent plate has a plurality of first optical microstructures. Then, a first hot pressing roller having a plurality of transfer printing microstructures is provided. A plurality of second optical microstructures are formed on the surface through the transfer printing microstructures by the first hot pressing roller. At least a part of the second optical microstructures is not overlapped with the first optical microstructures.

Claims (27)

1 . A manufacturing method of a light guide plate, comprising:

providing a transparent plate, wherein a surface of the transparent plate comprises a plurality of first optical microstructures;

providing a first hot pressing roller having a plurality of transfer printing microstructures; and

forming a plurality of second optical microstructures on the surface through the transfer printing microstructures by the first hot pressing roller, wherein at least a part of the second optical microstructures is not overlapped with the first optical microstructures.

2 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the transparent plate comprises:

forming the transparent plate and the first optical microstructures through an injection molding process.

3 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the step of forming the transparent plate through the injection molding process comprises:

forming a transparent base and the first optical microstructures through the injection molding process; and

cutting the transparent base to form the transparent plate.

4 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the first hot pressing roller comprises:

forming the transfer printing microstructures through a laser etching process.

5 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the first hot pressing roller comprises:

providing a roller body and a flexible transfer printing plate, wherein the transfer printing microstructures are formed on the flexible transfer printing plate; and

assembling the flexible transfer printing plate on the roller body.

6 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first hot pressing roller comprises a plurality of reference points, and the step of forming the second optical microstructures on the surface through the transfer printing microstructures comprises:

aligning the first hot pressing roller and the transparent plate according to the reference points.

7 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the step of providing the first hot pressing roller comprises:

forming the reference points through a laser etching process.

8 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the step of providing the first hot pressing roller comprises:

providing a roller body and a flexible transfer printing plate, wherein the transfer printing microstructures and the reference points are formed on the flexible transfer printing plate; and

assembling the flexible transfer printing plate on the roller body.

9 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

performing an optical test towards the transparent plate to obtain an optical test result; and

fabricating the transfer printing microstructures again according to the optical test result.

10 . The manufacturing method of the light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the second optical microstructures on the surface through the transfer printing microstructures comprises:

providing a second hot pressing roller; and

passing the transparent plate between the first hot pressing roller and the second hot pressing roller, wherein the transparent plate is heated and pressurized through the first hot pressing roller and the second hot pressing roller.
