Abstract

The invention relates to a submicron grating light guide plate and a backlight module, belonging to the technical field of optical liquid crystal display. The invention discloses a submicron grating light guide plate suitable for realizing even backlight illumination. A light emitting surface of the light guide plate is designed into a submicron grating structure, and the grating period is in submicron dimension and distributed segmentally. Based on a principle that reflected-diffracted light exists when a grating diffracts incident light, a submicron grating selectively reflects the light energy in an area with more intense illumination on the light emitting surface of the light guide plate back into the light guide plate so as to cause the light energy to spread inside the light guide plate and to be emitted out of the light guide plate from an area with weaker illumination on the light emitting surface of the light guide plate, thereby evening the light energy distribution on the light emitting surface and realizing even illumination. The submicron grating light guide plate and the backlight module have simple structure and remarkable application effect. When being used for realizing even backlight illumination, the submicron grating light guide plate can replace scattering network nodes and a scattering plate in the prior art, thus reducing the scattering and absorption andimproving the light energy utilization rate.
