Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a profiled light guide plate, a backlight module and a liquid crystal display device. In the profiled light guided plate according to the embodiments of the present invention, because the reflectivity of the profiled assembly is less than that of the light entry assembly, the emergent angle of the light beam entering into the profiled assembly from the light entry assembly is larger than the incident angle thereof, which causes the light beam entering from the light entry assembly into the profiled assembly to converge towards the central part of the profiled assembly, away from the ramp of the profiled assembly, thereby decreasing the amount of light leakage from the ramp.

Claims (14)

1. A profiled light guide plate, comprising:

a light entry assembly with a first refractivity, a profiled assembly with a second refractivity lower than the first refractivity, and a planar assembly,

wherein the light entry assembly, the profiled assembly and the planar assembly are joined in series;

wherein the profiled assembly comprises a ramp extending from a top face of the light entry assembly to a top face of the planar assembly, and a thickness of the planar assembly is less than that of the light entry assembly;

the light entry assembly comprises a light entry surface in a plane and an side surface opposite thereto forming a first adjoining interface by joining with the profiled assembly, and the first adjoining interface is a curved face protruding towards the profiled assembly; and

a second adjoining interface is formed by joining the side surface of the profiled assembly opposite to the first adjoining interface with the planar assembly.

2. A profiled light guide plate according to claim 1 , wherein the planar assembly has a third refractivity larger than the second refractivity.

3. A profiled light guide plate according to claim 2 , wherein the second adjoining interface is a curved face protruding towards the planar assembly.

4. A profiled light guide plate according to claim 1 , wherein bottom faces of the light entry assembly, the profiled assembly and the planar assembly are on a same level.

5. A profiled light guide plate according to claim 2 , wherein the bottom faces of the light entry assembly, the profiled assembly and the planar assembly are on a same level.

6. A profiled light guide plate according to claim 3 , wherein the bottom faces of the light entry assembly, the profiled assembly and the planar assembly are on a same level.

7. A backlight module, comprising a profiled light guide plate according to claim 1 , and a light source provided on an entry side of the profiled light guide plate.

8. A backlight module according to claim 7 , wherein the light source is a point light source or a line light source.

9. A liquid crystal display device, comprising a backlight module according to claim 7 .
