The portable electron device of a kind of screen disclosed by the invention and key-press sharing backlight light source, in the one preferred embodiment, see also Fig. 1, shown in Figure 2, Fig. 1 is the schematic appearance of the portable electron device in the embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 is the fragment cross section of Fig. 1 and the schematic diagram that reflection ray moves.Portable electron device has to hold in a body 1 space is set, hold and the space is set holds at least and be provided with a display module 10 and a key-press module 30 2 partly, be provided with a display device 11 (as: LCD panel) and a backlight assembly 13 in the display module 10, display device 11 is located at a side of backlight assembly 13, and partly be revealed in the surface of body 1 with a display screen 111, display device 11 is mainly by colored filter, drive IC, compensate film and Polarizer, glass substrate, the ITO film, alignment film, spare parts such as control circuit are formed, because display device 11 is a known technology, no longer given unnecessary details at this, also be not presented among Fig. 2.
Please consult shown in Figure 2 again, backlight assembly 13 comprises a light source portion 15, one reflecting plate 131 (Reflector), one first light guide plate 132 (Light guide plate), one diffusion sheet 133 (Diffusionsheet), one brightness enhancement film 134 assemblies such as (Brightness enhancement film), first light guide plate 132 is located at a side of reflecting plate 131, and be positioned at the side of display device 11 away from body 1 surface, and diffusion sheet 133 is located at the side of first light guide plate 132 away from reflecting plate 131, and brightness enhancement film 134 is attached to the side of diffusion sheet 133 away from first light guide plate 132, wherein the external form of first light guide plate 132 has certain thickness, and can be wedge shape and planar shaped, and material (as: acryl PMMA) the tool high reflectance and the characteristic of extinction not, can receive a reflection ray by the one lateral edges, and make its reflection ray in first light guide plate 132, be conducted to the direction of first light guide plate, 132 opposite sides, light guide plate 132 integral body of winning can be emitted beam to display device 11, with the brilliant degree of raising display device 11 and the consistency of uniform luminance.
And key-press module 30 is configured in the body 1, and contiguous display module 10 is provided with the opposite side position of light source portion 15, be provided with a button device 31 and one second light guide plate 32 in it, button device 31 can be the pad of a tool light transmission, be arranged in the key-press module 30 and near the surface of key-press module 30, have many press surfaces 311 on it, when each press surface 311 is provided back light, can be on body 1 display brightness, and second light guide plate 32 is located at the surface of button device 31 away from key-press module 30, its feature, external form and material and first light guide plate 132 are similar, all has certain thickness in external form, and can be wedge shape and planar shaped, and material (as: acryl PMMA) the tool high reflectance and the characteristic of extinction not, and receive reflection ray with second light guide plate, 32 1 lateral edges, and make reflection ray in second light guide plate 32, be led to the direction of second light guide plate, 32 opposite sides, to provide button device 31 certain brightness.
Wherein the material of button device 31 can be transparent rubber, plastic cement or resin etc., and in above-mentioned sizing material, add many chemical particles that refractive index is different during fabrication, as scattering particles, so when light through button device 31 time, light can be constantly passes in the different particle of two refractive indexes, meanwhile the phenomenon of many refractions, reflection and scattering can take place in light, has so just caused the effect of optics diffusion.
And light source portion 15 can be sent reflection ray, be located at a side of close key-press module 30 in the display module 10, and contact a lateral edges of first light guide plate 132 and second light guide plate 32 respectively, so, the reflection ray that light source portion 15 is sent just can pass through a lateral edges of first light guide plate 132 and second light guide plate 32 respectively, and be passed to display module 10 and key-press module 30, to provide lighting source to display device 11 and button device 31 respectively.
In the embodiments of the invention, please consult shown in Figure 2 again, light source portion 15 comprises a reflection room 151, a plurality of luminescent devices 153 and at least one reflector plate 155, luminescent device 153 is not limited to cold cathode fluorescent tube (Cathode Cold Fluorescent Lamp, CCFL), thermic cathode fluorimetric (Cathode Hot FluorescentLamp, HCFL), electroluminescence sheet (Electro-luminescence, EL), light-emitting diode (LED), present embodiment is example with the vertically standing LED, the both sides of reflection room 151 (may be respective side or sides adjacent) partly open and connect the edge of first light guide plate 132 and second light guide plate 32 respectively, and all be covered with reflector plate 155 on the wall of reflection room 151, the light that makes each luminescent device 153 be sent to be reflected respectively this lateral edges of one first reflection ray, 51 to first light guide plate 132 and this lateral edges of one second reflection ray, 52 to second light guide plate 32, so, the light that each luminescent device 153 is sent in reflection room 151 sheet 155 that can be reflected constantly reflects, up to this lateral edges that reflexes to first light guide plate 132 or second light guide plate 32, to explain that light source portion 15 is in order to send the enforcement means of reflection ray.
So, portable electron device in use, each luminescent device 153 in the light source portion 15 just begins to emit beam, after reflector plate 155 reflections, just send first reflection ray, 51 to first light guide plate 132 simultaneously, and send second reflection ray, 52 to second light guide plate 32, at this moment, first reflection ray 51 is directed to other side by first light guide plate 132 at a lateral edges, simultaneously, first reflection ray 51 is also passed through to diffusion sheet 133 by first light guide plate 132, diffusion sheet 133 is spread first reflection ray 51, after making its uniform source of light that produces one side and wide rising angle, again first reflection ray 51 is reached brightness enhancement film 134, and brightness enhancement film 134 is just condensed first reflection ray 51, improve the front brightness value, increase the result of use after light self-diffusion plate penetrates, enable display device 11 and have enough back lights.In addition, when first reflection ray 51 by first light guide plate 132 when a lateral edges is directed to opposite side, first reflection ray 51 that reflecting plate 131 is spread out of first light guide plate 132 reflects back towards the direction of diffusion sheet 133.
When first reflection ray 51 is reflected onto first light guide plate 132, second reflection ray 52 also is reflected onto a lateral edges of second light guide plate 32, make second reflection ray 52 to be directed to its side in addition by a lateral edges of second light guide plate 32, make button device 31 integral body be illuminated, and make each press surface 311 show light by second reflection ray 52.
Though the present invention discloses as above with a preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
