Detailed description of the invention
Referring to Fig. 1-2, is a kind of backlight module 100 that embodiment of the present invention provides, and it comprises a LGP 10 and a light source 20 only.In the present embodiment, this light source 20 is light emitting diode (Light emitting diode, LED).
This LGP 10 is made up of light transmissive material, such as acrylic resin, and Merlon, polyvinyl resin etc.This LGP 10 comprises a body 11 and multiple protruding 16.This body 11 is pentagonal prism tabular, and comprises an exiting surface 101, back side 102, incidence surface 103, first side 111, second side 112, the 3rd side 113 and the 4th side 114.This back side 102 is parallel to each other with this exiting surface 101.This incidence surface 103, this first side 111, this second side 112, the 3rd side 113 and the 4th side 114 all vertically connect this exiting surface 101 and this back side 102.This incidence surface 103 connects this first side 111 and this second side 112.This incidence surface 103 is obtuse angle with the angle theta 1 of this first side 111, and this incidence surface 103 is obtuse angle with the angle theta 2 of this second side 112.The 3rd side 113 is with this opposing setting in the first side 111 and be parallel to each other, and is connected with this second side 112.The 3rd side 113 is obtuse angle with the angle theta 3 of this second side 112.The 4th side 114 and this first side 111 and the 3rd side 113 is vertical is connected.In the present embodiment, θ 1=125 degree, θ 2=136 degree, θ 3=99 degree.
On this exiting surface 101, there is an effective output optical zone 105 and the marginal zone 106 around this effective output optical zone 105.This effective output optical zone 105 is rectangle, and wherein three articles of limits are parallel with this first side 111, the 3rd side 113 and the 4th side 114 respectively.This marginal zone 106 also comprises a light expansion area 107.This light expansion area 107 is near this incidence surface 103 and this second side 112.
Shown in Fig. 3-4, the plurality of protruding 16 are set in qually spaced on this incidence surface 103.In the present embodiment, the plurality of protruding 16 with this body 11 structure that is formed in one.Each protruding 16 are along being parallel to a less part in two parts that volume that a cylindrical short transverse is cut into this cylinder do not wait or along one of them semicylinder being parallel in two semicylinders that a cylindrical short transverse is cut into this cylinder.Each protruding 16 comprise the stationary plane 163 of the periphery 162 of the bottom surface 161 of two opposing settings, an arc and and these periphery 162 opposing settings.This periphery 162 and this stationary plane 163 all connect this two bottom surfaces 161.This stationary plane 163 is plane, and is arranged on this incidence surface 103.Each protruding 16 central shaft X0 is perpendicular to this exiting surface 101, and this central shaft X0 extends along the direction of the height h of this projection 16, and each protruding 16 height h equals the thickness H of this incidence surface 103 along the direction perpendicular to this exiting surface 101.Ultimate range between this periphery 162 and this stationary plane 163 is L.In the present embodiment, the radius of this bottom surface 161 is 97.5 microns of (μ m), h=450 μ m, L=60 μ m.
Each bottom surface 161 includes a base 164, and this base 164 is the limit crossing with corresponding stationary plane 163, each bottom surface 161.The length on this base 164 is D1, and the spacing between adjacent two projections 16 is D2, and the plurality of protruding 16 cycle D is the length D1 on each base 164 and space D 2 sums of every adjacent two projections 16, and 190um≤D < 280um.
This light source 20 arranges towards the plurality of protruding 16.The plurality of protruding 16 disperse and this light of major part are imported in this body 11 for the light that this light source 20 is launched.The light of injecting this LGP 10 carries out multiple reflections in this light expansion area 107, makes from the light of these effective output optical zone 105 outgoing more even.The utilization rate of light, for reflecting being incident upon its surperficial light, to prevent that light from penetrating from this back side 102, is improved in this back side 102.This effective output optical zone 105 is for deriving a part that incides its surperficial light this body 11, another part reflexes on this back side 102, make light can in this body 11, pass through multiple reflections, to be delivered to the one end at 114 places, the 4th side from the one end at these incidence surface 103 places.This first side 111, this second side 112, the 3rd side 113 and the 4th side 114 are for reflecting inciding its surperficial light, to prevent that light from penetrating from this body 11.
Experiment showed, that, in the time of D=180um, the light of the mid portion of this effective output optical zone 105 is fewer, in the time of D=280um, the light of the marginal portion of this effective output optical zone 105 is fewer, and as 190um≤D < 280um, the light of this effective output optical zone 105 is more even.Compared with prior art, backlight module 100 of the present invention, by arrange the plurality of protruding 16 at this incidence surface, the light that this light source 20 is launched is dispersed and this light of major part is imported in this body 11, this light expansion area 107 is also set simultaneously near this incidence surface 103, the light of injecting this body 11 is carried out to multiple reflections, make from the light of these effective output optical zone 105 outgoing more even.And owing to having reduced the quantity of light source 20, can effectively save electric energy.
Be understandable that, for the person of ordinary skill of the art, can make other various corresponding changes and distortion by technical conceive according to the present invention, and all these change the protection domain that all should belong to the claims in the present invention with distortion.
