Because traditional liquid crystal indicator is not very high to the requirement of thickness, therefore backlight module adopts the thicker light guide plate of thickness usually, the above light guide plate of 4mm for example, and traditional liquid crystal indicator is provided with backboard, the material of this backboard is metal, hardness is larger, liquid crystal indicator is played the effect of support, can prevent effectively that the light guide plate of liquid crystal indicator from deformation occuring in vertical direction.After adopting the reliability experiment of method through certain hour of above-mentioned reliability experiment, the deformation phenomenon that the light guide plate of traditional liquid crystal indicator only can shrink in its plane and expand and other can't occur.
But, for slim liquid crystal indicator, because it is very high to thickness requirement, so backlight module adopts the light guide plate of thinner thickness usually, the light guide plate about 1mm to 2mm for example, even the thickness of light guide plate only is 0.4mm to 0.6mm in some novel liquid crystal indicators.And for reducing the thickness of backlight module, the back side of comparing light guide plate with traditional backlight module does not arrange backboard, and it is the reflecting plate of resin that only there is material in the back side of light guide plate, and this reflecting plate hardness is lower, is difficult to prevent that light guide plate from deformation occuring in vertical direction.Therefore, after the method that slim liquid crystal indicator is adopted above-mentioned reliability experiment was carried out the reliability experiment, the deformation phenomenon can appear in the light guide plate of backlight module.Particularly, slim liquid crystal indicator carries out the schematic diagram of reliability experiment can be referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 1 is a kind of schematic diagram that liquid crystal indicator carries out the reliability experiment in the prior art, Fig. 2 is the another kind of schematic diagram that liquid crystal indicator carries out the reliability experiment in the prior art, liquid crystal indicator comprises liquid crystal panel 51 and backlight module, for clearly expressing the change of shape of light guide plate, the backlight module among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 only shows light guide plate 52.The liquid crystal indicator of opening is positioned on the bracing or strutting arrangement in the sensing chamber.This bracing or strutting arrangement comprises brace table 2 and support rail 3, and support rail 3 can be directly fixed on the inwall of sensing chamber, at this its lateral plan only is shown.Observe the image quality of liquid crystal panel for the handled easily person, the angle of liquid crystal indicator placement is set to 30 to 60 degree usually.Figure 1 shows that the state of liquid crystal indicator when beginning to carry out the reliability experiment, as can be seen from Figure 1, any deformation phenomenon does not occur in light guide plate 52; Figure 2 shows that the state that carries out reliability experiment liquid crystal indicator after 24 hours, as can be seen from Figure 2, be positioned over for a long time the light guide plate 52 in the hot and humid environment, be subjected to gravity can produce bending.
When slim liquid crystal indicator being adopted method of the prior art carry out the reliability experiment, long-time light guide plate of placing in the Chu hot and humid environment can bend by gravitate, the a plurality of optical films that cause being positioned on the light guide plate are equivalent to be placed on the bottom surface of a depression, therefore fold (wrinkle) phenomenon can occur on the optical film, thereby seriously influence the picture disply quality.
