Abstract

A backlight module without a light guiding plate and a diffusing plate is disclosed, in which a reflective layer having a light scattering structure is first disposed on a backplate and then at least a reflective mirror is provided on the reflective layer of the backplate. Further, a transparent plate is disposed on the at least reflective mirror. The backplate, the at least a reflective mirror, the reflective layer and the transparent plate form an enclosed space and thus the backlight module without a light guiding plate and a diffusing plate is completed. In another form of the backlight module without a light guiding plate and a diffusing plate, the light scattered structure is formed directly on the backplate. When a light-emitting unit emits a light source, the light source is uniformly given off through the light scattering structure, promoting use efficiency of the light source.

Claims (30)

1. A backlight module without a light guiding plate and a diffusing plate comprising:

a backplate;

a reflective layer having a light scattering structure;

at least a reflective mirror disposed on a side of said reflective layer;

at least a light-emitting unit disposed on said backplate; and

a transparent plate disposed over said reflective mirror to form an enclosed space.

2. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said light scattering structure on said reflective layer is in a corrugated shape, a ridge-like shape, a mountain shape or a saw-like shape.

3. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said reflective mirror is in an arc-like shape.

4. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said transparent plate is made of a transparent material.

5. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said reflective mirror is coated with a highly reflective material.

6. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said light-emitting unit is light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

7. The backlight module according to claim 5 , wherein said highly reflective material is a resin material containing a light stabilizer and a reflective agent.

8. The backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein said LEDs are red, green, blue or white LEDs.

9. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said reflective layer is a bottom reflector or a reflective film.

10. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein said reflective mirror is further plated with a highly reflective material.

11. The backlight module according to claim 10 , wherein said highly reflective material is selected from the group of aluminum, tin, and zinc.

12. The backlight module without a light guiding plate and a diffusing plate, comprising:

a backplate having a light scattering structure on a side thereof

at least a reflective mirror disposed on a side of said backplate;

at least a light-emitting unit disposed on said backplate; and

a transparent plate disposed over said reflective mirror to form an enclosed space.

13. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said light scattering structure on said backplate is in a corrugated shape, a ridge-like shape, a mountain shape or a saw-like shape.

14. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said reflective mirror is in an arc-like shape.

15. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said transparent plate is made of a transparent material.

16. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said reflective mirror is coated with a highly reflective material.

17. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said light-emitting unit is light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

18. The backlight module according to claim 16 , wherein said highly reflective material is a resin material containing a light stabilizer and a reflective agent.

19. The backlight module according to claim 17 , wherein said LEDs are red, greens blue or white LEDs.

20. The backlight module according to claim 12 , wherein said reflective mirror is further plated with a highly reflective material.

21. The backlight module according to claim 20 , wherein said highly reflective material is selected from the group of aluminum, tin, and zinc.
