Abstract

An integrated light guide plate having axial directional luminance distribution has a substrate. The substrate has a light incident plane, a light emission plane and a bottom surface opposite to the light emission surface. The light incident plane has a plurality of V-cuts formed thereon to serve as prisms. The included angle of the V-cuts is between 85° and 105°. A plurality of pyramidal recesses is formed on the bottom surface of the substrate. Given the formation of the V-cuts and the pyramidal recesses, the integrated light guide plate of the present invention provides an enhanced axial luminous intensity without requiring additional diffuser sheets and prism sheets. Accordingly, the integrated light guide plate has a good directional axial luminance.

Claims (8)

1. An integrated light guide plate having enhanced axial luminosity, comprising:

a substrate having a light incident plane, a light emission plane and a bottom surface opposite to the light emission plane;

a plurality of V-cuts formed on the light incident plane and serving as a prism, each V-cut having a vertex with a first angle ranging from 85° to 105°; and

a plurality of pyramidal recesses formed in the bottom surface of the substrate;

wherein a reference line passing through one vertex of one of the pyramidal recesses is orthogonal to one side of the substrate, and a second angle is defined between the reference line and an edge of the pyramidal recess and ranges between 43° to 47°.

2. The integrated light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pyramidal recess is a truncated regular pyramidal recess.

3. The integrated light guide plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pyramidal recess tapers from the bottom surface to a top of the pyramidal recess.

4. The integrated light guide plate as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pyramidal recess tapers from the bottom surface to a top of the pyramidal recess.
